14/15 years later had to come back to this💯

this is what true emotion sounds like. it's not about hitting every note perfectly, not about singing a song 100% as it was intended to be. it's about anger, desperation, sadness and expressing all of that in the most powerful way possible. that's what makes jack, what makes this band, not only raconteurs but artists as well.

one of the best bands i've ever seen live they're so god damn intense

I love how Jack sings songs in female voices without changing the lyrics. He does the same in the White Stripes cover of Jolene.

I watch this every month. So brilliant

I remember going to see the White Stripes and the Raconteurs and the Dead Weather so many times with my mother when I was very young. And I always loved the music they made and adored the live show experiences, but now as I’m growing older and my mother has passed, I’m discovering the emotional attachment she must have had to these performances. Jack White and the people he formed these groups with held with such reverence the music from the 50s and 60s. They love those songs and reinterpret them into modernity, bringing new sounds and emotions. And those were the songs my mother heard as a child. Her ashes are in a Third Man Records 7” record box at her request. I’ll never not think of her when I look back on these live performances. This cover in particular.

Thats one of the most amazing covers of all time, they changed the song into their own style but has the same feeling as the original.

I absolutely love the way Jack puts his heart into the music.

It is absolutely unbelievable how The Raconteurs did this song. It was one of my favorites I was obsessed with growing up and could not listen to enough and remains one of my all time favorites. Jack White and I really do have the same taste in music.

As far as I'm concerned..The Raconteurs did it! so badass!!!!!!!!!!! Don't care who done it before.

This version is so good. I come back to it every so often

Sorry I have to repeat myself (and several others) but I just stumbled upon this once again... This is the first, and only, since Terry Reid's 1968 stunning version, time this song gets a pulse. And not just any, but a thunderous heartbeat. It explodes, instead of just limping along. So many people covered it... but only Terry and Jack gave it the jaw-dropping intensity that even the original lacked.

The coordination is just outstanding.

Until I listened to this, I didn't believe you could literally get goosebumps from music. Amazing:)

Today is the 2023 and who like me listen this masterpiece for a long time? This cover is full of feelings and energy, like Jack have something in his live with this song. Great cover for all times.😊❤

Damn Jack Lawrence is such an underrated bass player. HIs riffs are so simple but they always high light the main chords so perfectly.

These guys rock I like the whole psychedelic blues rock thing, sounds like a rebirth of early 70's music. I dig it

I love it how he says "he was black and I was white" instead of "he wore black and I wore white". such a nice Jack White-y detail

Almost has a Led Zeppelin feel to it. Love it!

Equal parts heartbreak and sinister and they take you on the whole ride thrilling every step of the way.

Benson is the perfect foil to White. So controlled.

The very best version of this song so far... to my humble opinion...feeling things the way I feel it. The moment when he hits me with his soul... #BANG BANG!

Oh dear Lord! I love this cover so freaking much. He's makes me feel like I've been shot.

Still coming back here after all these years

damn! finally this song gets the passion and conviction it deserves!

God Jack, can I just fade away into the oblivion of your soul forever?

This may be the greatest song in history, sung in the best way ever possible. It's so strong but desperate... incredible.

Best one on youtube. This version is the best of the 2 they play

Theyre great, i love the color of lights that they use, it gives it a hypnotic effect

This is one of my favorite performances. Everything about it is great...carries so much emotion. Thank you for sharing the vid!

This performance is hands down one of the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cannot find adequate words for this performance...simply awesome.

Doesn’t get much bluer than this

my all time favorite version since nancy

He surprises me as always. Never heard a bad cover by Jack White, this mister is incredible. The personality put in this is amazing, all my respect to the musicians

2021 ppl where you at on this masterpiece!!!

I love this cover, I love Jack White...

jack white is just toooooo talented

rvery time the i listen to this song it gives me chills all over. props to jack you rock man!!!

Masterful performance I see myself returning to watch every so often

Gotta love Jack White

written by Sonny, first sung by Cher. Covered by Nancy Sinatra

Great song, Great band, Great cover! they are saving r&r...thanks

Thanks! I love the Oldies!

all the people commenting about cher, yes very good, although this is definitely a cover of nancy sinatra's cover as it has heavy use of tremolo'd guitars which only nancy's did.

It's a Sonny Bono song written for his then wife Cher in 1966.

everything jack white touches turns to gold...he is just amazing to see and hear live :)

magic!!blew me away!the emotion in his voice!and the power of the guitar.....epic!!!

I can imagine Kill Bill 3

"He was black and I was white" :D Kinda funny in Jack White's mouth:P

everytime he sings those imperfect notes on "Bang Bang"... the current runs up my body! shivers!... awesome one!

yeh, I didnt think anyone could cover this better than Terry Reid, but man, this is SO fantastic, they are very intense and Jack can really rock that guitar. I get the shivers at the way they end this song, I love it!!!!

When the cover it's better than original. Sorry, it's my opinion.

"Do you find me sadistic? ... No Kiddo, at this moment, this is me at my most... [cocks pistol] masochistic."

I don't care about the ppl who disliked the video. All i can say is that I like this version of the song more than the original.

One of the best covers ever... period.

Sin duda uno de los mejores cover que he escuchado, ese Jack rifa mas con los Raconteurs que con los Stripes, y ya es decir algo.

this is cover and if you don't like this cover, don't listen to it

can not express how many thanks i have for you putting this up.

this has GOT to be the single most emotionally charged song I've been giving the honour of hearing in my life to this point.

This is actually Cher's song. Sinatra covered it later. I love the Raconteurs version. Excellent.

should give proper credit to the actual artist that wrote the song which is Sonny Bono. Without him there would be no Nancy Sinatra cover version of this song.

Me too just got my ticket for the Toronto show yay! I hope they play this.

Love this song so much. This version is truely amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!

Треба буде зіграти на мій манер. Буде щє один привід мене ненавидить.

I seen this live. It's bloody spectacular!

I was five and he was six We rode on horses made of sticks He wore black and I wore white He would always win the fight Bang bang, he shot me down Bang bang, I hit the ground Bang bang, that awful sound Bang bang, my baby shot me down Seasons came and changed the time When I grew up, I called him mine He would always laugh and say "Remember when we used to play?" Bang bang, I shot you down Bang bang, you hit the ground Bang bang, that awful sound Bang bang, I used to shoot you down Music played and people sang Just for me the church bells rang Now he's gone, I don't know why And 'til this day, sometimes I cry He didn't even say goodbye He didn't take the time to lie Bang bang, he shot me down Bang bang, I hit the ground Bang bang, that awful sound Bang bang, my baby shot me down

Sends chills down my spine. Number one cover of all time. x

I'm not too in to this band, but to not call this one of the greatest covers of all time would be foolish...ROCK ON!

pure, perfection. jack and brendan are a match made by higher beings. whatever they touch becomes gold!

this is how yo do it, well done jack, passion and true soul

awesome, going to see them soon yeyyyyyy, luv jack's vocals...xxx

Vraiment énorme! Merci pour la vidéo.

may I add to my bucket list,,,, see this musical magic man in concert.

Amazing pipes on JW when he was screaming, gosh he's talented.

Simply incredible, I can't stop watching it.

I agree. This version is the best ever!

this is sweet nectar for my soul!

Am having the worst day - but after this video, it just improved by 1000%

I never have respect for bands that do covers unless they are as good as (or better than) the originals. But both The Raconteurs and the White Stripes never disappoint me.

and the award for most badass rock and roll group on the planet goes to.....

Art at it's highest level.Perfection.

this is by far the best version of the song to date!

Don't fight about whose song it is!! It sounds awesome..

I need to see these guys live!!

unbelievable. The crowd is so into it, too.

WOW!! Don't know how I'm writing this but my mind has been blown.

Amazing cover!!!

This is the best cover of this song I ever heard.

BINGO!! "Jolene" is another awesome example. Jack White is an amazing artist & should have the confidence that he does... He has paid his dues & WE reap the benefit!

Excellent version of this classic song! Jack rocks.

Like everything they do and have ever done; oustanding!

Absolutly friggin brilliant! Pure Passion

Gosh DAMN,....He gives me goosebumps !! purrrrrrrrrrrr,..................
