This past week, Jack White returned to the stage for his first live performances in nearly two years. The veteran rocker previewed his new solo album, Boarding House Reach, with a series of intimate performances at White’s Third Man Records HQ in Nashville, Tennessee. Phones and recording devices were strictly prohibited, but fans did post two of the night’s setlists via Setlist.fm.

The first show, which took place on March 15th, saw the live debut of several tracks from Boarding House Reach, including “Over and Over”, “Connected By Love”, “Respect Commander”, and “Ice Station Zebra”, along with White Stripes songs including “Cannon”, “We’re Going To Be Friends”, and “Ball and Biscuit”, The Dead Weather’s “I Cut Like A Buffalo’, and The Raconteurs’ “Steady, as She Goes”.



White returned to the stage the following night and opened the show with “Battle Cry”, an instrumental he wrote for the sporting good company Warstic, of which White is a co-owner. He also played White Stripes songs like “Fell in Love With a Girl”, “Catch Hells Blues”, “Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground”, “Hello Operator”, and “Seven Nation Army”.

See both setlists below. You can find more photos from the concerts at Third Man Records’ website.

White was accompanied on stage by his new backing band featuring Carla Azar on drums, Quincy McCrary and Neal Evans on keys, and Dominic Davis on bass guitar.
