I thought that clip came from a show in Texas.love_islander wrote:I thought that was the Live In London recording?koala wrote:Which was the one they showed on It Might Get Loud where his fingers were bleeding?
My other favorite performance of Blue Veins was from the 9:30 Club in 2008, a show I'm sure Ara was at and that I could have been at if I'd not been late to the whole Jack White party. Incredible tension in the guitar solo-- http://www.npr.org/2008/05/27/90769922/ ... in-concert

Though I haven't done a whole lot of research, my fave is the one missed off the TMR LP. Really brilliant.
It's a shame that Blue Veins hasn't really been given an outing by Jack solo (just twice and only on the Blunderbuss tour I believe?), but then I'm not sure if it would really work with the current band...(prove me wrong Mr White)...

He actually said in an interview that he tried, but some songs just don't work with this band, and Blue Veins being one of them.grumblestiltskin wrote:Though I haven't done a whole lot of research, my fave is the one missed off the TMR LP. Really brilliant.

I'm actually sad he doesn't play Carolina Drama more often, it seems to me that this band is perfect for that song.
He played it once in Belgium (and also at some other shows around that period) and that was just the one time i couldn't go, because i had went studying abroad
Oh, well..

Re: Best version of Blue Veins?
I've heard one of the Blue Veins attempts from the Blunderbuss tour. It was not good, he was wise to abandon it. The Buzzards just did not seem to get that song, and even Jack sounded like he was just going through the motions. I wondered at the time whether the Peacocks, being women, might get the passion of that song better than the guys did, but I think it's just as well Jack decided to keep it only for the Racs. Having been involved in the writing of the song, Brendan, PK, and LJ most definitely understood what that song needs.Thinkfirst wrote:He actually said in an interview that he tried, but some songs just don't work with this band, and Blue Veins being one of them.grumblestiltskin wrote:Though I haven't done a whole lot of research, my fave is the one missed off the TMR LP.
