Jack White - Ball and Biscuit Denver B-Show August 8, 2012 

This is what rock is supposed to be, messy, loud, chaotic and a whole lotta soul.

This is like the old band practice days when there’s no mics on the amps and drums. Just everybody competing for batshit crazy volume.

Drummer beating those drums like they owe him money!

Thank you Jack White for keeping Rock alive and exciting! It’s exactly this kind of gig that will do it. Nothing can replace the live show and especially when it’s up close on the street like this! Leave it to JW to innovate constantly! And second, that’s a cool guitar! 🎸 And of course, this was before the damn pandemic and hopefully, we’ll get back to live shows soon! 👏🏻😎🎸

The happiness this guy brings just makes your heart race

As a consummate pro performer, Jack skillfully continues without letting the annoyance of the mic not working initially affect his performance. Bravo, the man's a living legend... I on the other hand would like to just vent my personal frustration about it on Jack's behalf... AAAAAAGH! F***ING MIC'S NOT WORKING! FOR F*** SAKE MAN! WHO DID THE F***ING SOUND CHECK?! OF ALL THE F***ING THINGS TO HAPPEN! YOU GOTTA BE F***ING KIDDING ME MAAAN! ... Haahh, feel better now and all is right with the world again.

This was at a tire store on Colfax Ave in Lakewood, right outside Denver. He was playing at Red Rocks that night and people were notified via his web site. Five miles from my house and I missed it.

Absolutely legit rocker. Not many left

Jack always plays with such passion

Drummer was killing it!

It must be supercool to be jack white!

Saw him live in 2014. He had the same drummer and one of the guitarists. It was on of the best shows I've ever seen in my life. My first festival, my first headliner, and my first concert other than small bar gigs. It was amazing!

This was a cool street show! Imagine seeing this up close! Great appearance!

The fact the mixer is sitting on a stack of tires is awesome!

Wonder how many people are actually listening to this amazingly raw music as opposed to just filming it.

Freakin awesome....true to the core... One of my favorites of the day . .. this guy keeps the spirit alive ,,..rock on brother ...

I just stumbled upon this video. I didn’t deserve to. Must have been electric live.

Daru (drums) was waaaaay to present. The beauty of Meg White.

this is real band love it.. performing live and having natural skill is the important thing than anything ;)

I love the drumming in this version, lots of swing

these same three dudes were on SNL a couple of weeks back

That drummer is bad ass

I absolutely love this tune, by far the best musician arround right now. He does impromptu gigs every now and again. I was proper gutted I miss him at 3rd man records when he came to the UK.

He is so talented...absolutly love #JackWhite

That was some transcendent shit right there. Amen amen!

What a pro, overcomes the mic issue

I swear....that OPEN sign is pulsing along with the music!!!! Ok...maybe i'm high.....

The mandolin really makes this song.

Dude, I'm so happy to live in the same time as mister White, those B shows looks OUTSTANDING, thank you my friend for those upload!

Nice to see the majority of people enjoying the experience and not trying to watch it through their phone camera while recording.

I really like how the white buttons on Jack's shirt set off the blue just amazing

Still missing Meg... Anyway, the important thing is that a grammy-award, top list artist like Jack White is a real artist. I do not maen it because he plays blues with no-computers involved, through that is right, I refer to the fact that a guy who sells a lot and can move masses to stadiums, does a show in Denver in the very street. No shite, no ticket selling, no publicity, no fooling around. The ones who were there, are very lucky. RESPECT for Jack White, still raw and powerfull. I love his idea of music.

❤💛💚 the prowess on those bleeding strings!!!

Seriously, thank you for this.

Jack is built out of 100% guitar player, stage charisma.

great quality - thanks for posting. this is by far my favorite Jack White tune. best thing about this song are the subtle differences every time he plays it live - as he does with all his live performance. new JW album is great. both bands are great - but prefer the all girl band. that drummer is sick! see if you can find the song from 9/30/12 show to see what i mean. rock on Jack white! please keep the good stuff coming!

the blue Jack doesn't have that intensity of the Red one

Awesome performance!

I doubt any one got fired, Jack has admitted he likes mistakes he likes having a battle and a struggle on stage, he does it purposely sometimes, its real not some mega rehearsed robotic same shit everytime show, like most do

My favorite artist for sure

Omg in the street!! Amazing Jacky luv him

2021 glad I found this.

Jack's got so much damn style it's insane. Those SHOES!

Amazing!! Well done!

great musician. greetings from COLOMBIA

How cool is Jack White !

Thank you so much for this! I envy you!!!

Music is the medicine for the soul.

used to live on the mighty Colfax ave by the blue bunny. stomped up and down there . walked right by this tire store . could not drive no car. I never dreamed JW would play there. but it makes sense now . tires are for the most part round. and this performance at this tire store is a "revolution" metaphorical speaking. pure absolutely genius.

maaan he got the coolest guitars ...

We need this.

Hey great video and sound quality man!!thnx a bunch :D

Drummer was having the time of his life !

genius. pure pure musical genius

Oh man, people love him!

Jack is cool and his sister rock the drums 1000% so them together is dynamite.so rock forever and ever. Love jimmy

What a small private show I wish I was there

Love it!

that fact that he even does these shows is awesome he should just do some more of em in australia ! haha

Raw real music ...how it should be .. .pure talent

just completely badass.

He just pulls off cool better than anyone.

Come to Niceville FL. This town is in dire need of art.

but we wouldn't have videos like this if there weren't these guys. we should thank them actually! (anyway when i'm going to a concert i'm just enjoying the show but still... someone has to tape it for others to see it here)

Haha everyones being douche bags to the people with cameras... How do you think this video got here for us to enjoy.

best live version ever

Thank you!!! Jack. WHITE. Imagine a Live Wiyh.... J. HENDRIX???!!!!

The world's divided into those who do, and those that film them...

Last of the great rock stars!

Colfax is the longest commercially zoned street in the US; from Golden to Aurora via downtown Denver.

Plus the addition of a stack of tires to the band just brings something extra!

Im gonna miss this for the rest of my life while I'm old and watching concerts from inside plastic boxes

One of the best garage bands ever

Perfect imperfection

That’s a great drummer

God that man can rock

Good ol' 2012 technology. The people in the crowd are actually using cameras...CAMERAS!!!

Jack White actually is one of the best musicians of our time and it´s not even me saying that but guys like Jimmy Page and many more.

These people are standing in front of a pure genius and they choose to look at him and experience the music through a lense. Madness

Thats some SOUL!

That drummer!

I love that girl in the back singing with jack :)

not 1 person standing there has ever heard this song lol

love that JAck's guayavera

check that sound my dear it's amazing

Excluding this performance DENVER was the place to be in the '90s.

Woooooooooow!!!!!!

it's nice to see a rock star not act all pissy when technical issues happen

sweet!

Favorite 🤗😎😅Jack White.. Best music and terrific guy

Detroit Michigan baby!!!

Hombre rezar no...,pero si te digo que para mí los preferidos actuales Jack White(white strippes), The Black Keys y Foo Fighters. Despues los clásicos de siempre.

That's why he's called Jack White

And take our sweet little time about it .

Well, they have now...hope they know how wicked lucky they are!

That's one beautifully crazy drummer....pure emotions

how do you even find out about these secret shows? social media?

Ha, I was right in front of you. My head made a cameo...

We all do brother

Bro, it's outside a fast food shop in the car park... that's considered it's pretty sweet.
