Voodoo Fest was wise to have The Raconteurs close out the main stage, because their performance was the best of the weekend. During the show, Jack White remarked that he had been in Detroit the day before and that his hometown, New Orleans, and Memphis all had the same kind of vibe. After “Rich Kid Blues” Jack silenced the crowd with a dark, dirty, ever-so-slow guitar solo preceding “Blue Veins” that showed the mesmerized crowd that he was indeed a true original. During his solo, his head tilted slightly and a small smile crept across his face as if he was thinking to himself, “Yeah, this is exactly how I wanted this to sound.” It was a spectacular moment. Brendan Benson was another standout of the night because his voice sounded especially strong and earnest. Benson was dressed to the nines in colorful velvet. It’s always a treat to watch Brendan and Jack interact because their long-term friendship brings warmth to their stage show.
