Photos: The Raconteurs at ACL

• Best show at ACL, hands down!!!! My baby is on the level!

• I got to see these guys backstage at ACL AMD stage. i was pretty much standing infront of them when they walked infront of me. Jack White looked really pale and yelled hell naw. And i believe Brandon Benson was asking me if i had any weed. Good times

• They were the highlight of Sundays shows. They should have been the headliner. The only problem was the brief time allotted to them to play. I guess that's the down side to this smorgasbord of bands in the festival setting. Nobody gets to play long enough. The Black Keys only got to play for 45 minutes. THAT is a friggin' crime! The Raconteurs did play kick ass renditions of tunes like "Blue Veins" and "Broken Boy Soldier, both from their first album, but they didn't play "Carolina Drama"... arguably the best thing on their current release. That tune is just friggin' brilliant! Anyway, it was a wonderful show. Well worth putting up with the crowds and the dust. If you didn't go this year, give next year a try.
