The Dead Weather @ Bowery Ballroom, 4/14/09




Well, it should come as no surprise that Jack White is also a good drummer.  I'm a Jack White fan first.  I love The White Stripes and like The Racounteurs.  I don't expect The Dead Weather's music to compare to either but it was one hell of a fun show.  I'm still giddy over seeing White in a 550 capacity venue and as I, and everyone else, had hoped, he picked up the guitar for one song to remind all of his rock star worthiness.  That will be my fondest memory and was well worth the price of admission.  While the talk going in was on White, I think everyone walked out last night completely floored by Alison Mossheart.  I don't even love her voice but it's impossible not to be awed by her commanding stage presence.  The band played like they've been together for years (as many of them have).  It was uncompromising rock n roll and I'm certainly not going to complain abou that.
