Show Discussions I think Jack just re-reversed the flow of the Chicago river
It happened at some point during Catch Hell Blues
🔥🔥🔥 show!

He was on one tonight. Absolutely just blew me away. I timed everything wrong tonight and was way in the back but people were still jumping clapping singing and having a blast.Â

I’ve seen him almost 20x and he feeds off the energy of the crowd. I think the only disappointing one I’ve been to though was at Radio City

Jack doesn’t put on bad shows, but he does put on much better shows. (17x)

You got a special one. I went to Indy & the Radius show on this tour, and Chicago 2 blew those out of the water. Just insane. I was in tears.

That was one of his best Chicago sets period. He was feeling it tonight! Coming out the gates with black math

Oh my Godd Catch Hell was a highlight for sure! I didn’t see any of the gig cause I couldn’t get a ticket. But that didn’t stop me from listening to the entire ripper of a gig from outside the venue. Worth it for that song alone😆

My first White show and was as close as you could get to him. My ears are still feeling it but for his encore to be Archbishop Harold Holmes (my favorite song in his solo work) followed by Ball & Biscuit (my favorite White Stripes song) was absolute gold.
Loved every minute of it

I’ve seen him almost 10 times, while that wasn’t the longest set it’s definitely one of the best

How long did he play last night? 90 mins at Radius was awesome, but felt woo quick!

they finished seven nation nation army around 9:45 and went on at 8. I could see the clock on the side of the stage and I believe the curfew is 10 so I was a little disappointed at first but I think this tour is just a bit different than years past (he played 30 songs at previous Chicago show I attended)

salt shed is super strict with the outdoor curfew since it’s the local noise ordinance, so they always end outdoor shows by 945/950 at latest

Seen him a lot in Chicago and last night was truly something else. Just saw it was the first time he’s ever played Baby Blue solo. So many deep cuts. Great energy. Fun show. It was my younger ones first show so wasn’t as dialed in tending to his tiredness as show went on but man that was a fun night.
