Raconteurs: Live at Montreux 2008 DVD

I must say, I am a fan of these guys. They are absolutely amazing. I have seen Dead Weather and the new Jack White Solo stuff. I am sad to say I have never seen these guys. I believe it is a career high for both Brendon Bensen and Jack White. This show is the cream of the crop too. I have some live audio from other shows, and their pizzaz is not quite there. This show, is goose bumps the whole way. I am floored by their talent, All of them. The punk who is commenting on the audio quality obviously never dubbed live shows during the rock eras of the past. This is good quality given the lack of studio isolation. Watch them knock out hit after hit with a strange yet perfect dynamic between songs. They know how to ride the crowd... Enough for me to want to jump around the room to some bad a$$ rock and roll... Absolutely worth the investment for those looking for inspirations in Rock.

My expectations were set by their last album Consolers of the Lonely, which is incredibly well-performed and meticulously recorded. I couldn't wait for a chance to see this group live, and was thrilled to be able to pre-order this DVD. In the studio, The Raconteurs are a mature, developed, cohesive unit... Even in the more chaotic moments, they never feel out of control.This DVD doesn't reflect the qualities I just described. The sound quality isn't terribly good, and the energy level detracts from the songs. I'm not prepared to say they were rushing the tempos, but that's how it felt to me, I can only say it came across as nervous energy to the extreme.I hope they do some more recording, and that we get to see another DVD. Even with these critiques, I would buy their next DVD sight unseen. I know they have incredible shows in them; in my opinion, this just wasn't one of them.

Well, I liked what the 5 star reviews said, this is a really great concert DVD. I liked Jack White, with the "White Stripes", and I really enjoy the music of the "Raconteurs". I know they relocated from Jack's hometown of Detroit, down to "Music City U.S.A.", Nashville. Apparently this was a good move for the band, because, after they moved to Nashville, it seems, this band really "bloomed".As the previous reviews, who gave this a 5 star rating have stated, this is one fantastic concert, from the very beginning to the very end. This is pure Modern American Rock & Roll at it's very best. I love it, and I highly recommed it. Thanks!!!!

Anything Jack White has his hands in is absolutely amazing. A must own for any fan.

Jack white sounds better by himself. Arrived on time and good quality. Not the sellers fault

It's everything a Raconteur fan wants. Brendan, Jack. Fun to see the dynamics between the group members. Nice to see the keyboard player highlighted. Awesome guitar solos....Broken Boy Soldiers and Blue Veins really shine. Carolina Drama is great. If you love the Rac's you are going to want this DVD.

This DVD is top notch!!! Really shows how talented and kick ass the Racontuers are. Great clear picture and awesome sound, highly recommended for anyone who loves music. You will become Racontuers fans and will want to discover the amazing things going on at Third Man Records

This show depicts how great this band was. Any band can make their hits the best performance, but when you can make the deep cuts the most memorable is when you know you are seeing a tryly great live perfomance. Jack White is a true showman, and Jack Lawrence has an amazing show as well. Bravo!!!

FABULOUS CONCERT! I love it and play it often! Brendan and Jack are the perfect duet when singing and playing guitar!! A+++

If you haven't heard of these guys you definitely have to check them out, They have a good sound and better songs
