Jack White is opening up The Vault at Third Man Records once again and this time he isn't reaching too far back in history to find its next release. The guitar whiz/vinyl revivalist will be releasing his set from Bonnaroo this year as part of a three-disc collection Jack White Live At Bonnaroo 2014.
The three records are white, blue and black respectively and come with a litany of extras, such a DVD of the performance, a USB of "bonus material," 8x10 photographs from the show, a patch and a poster.
Third Man was sure to emphasize that the product was well worth it, even with the live streams and videos of the performance available on the internet.
"(It) stands as a marked improvement over the on-the-fly board mix heard in webcasts, YouTube uploads and shady downloads," read a press statement sent to Consequence of Sound. No doubt house engineer Vance Powell had something to do with the press release.
The package might be especially appealing to those who couldn't attend the Tennessee music festive this year and heard stories about it afterward. The set has already been hailed as one of the best in the history of the huge music event, with White playing for 45 minutes beyond his set time. The guitarist played a ten-song "encore" that realistically qualifies more as a second set, and he included covers such as Led Zeppelin's "The Lemon Song" and Dick Dale's "Misirlou," as well as White Stripes classics, including a massive sing-along of "Seven Nation Army" as a closer.
Of course you're going to need to pay for it if you want the Third Man exclusive. Live At Bonnaroo will require $60 as well as at least a temporary membership to the label's subscription service.
