“Sometimes, if you sense even two seconds of the crowd being antsy or being anxious, it’s time to turn on a dime and try something different. That really drives you as a musician: It’s new and it’s in the moment.” It’s weird when you play a song that’s only been out for a few weeks, compared to a song that people have been listening to for 15 years in their car. It’s the song people are still learning, too. “‘Corporation’ is what really gets me revved up. “The vocals are different every night,” he says. This “Superstition”-style funk groove has White freestyling about capitalism and forming a giant army. This is something that everybody else has been doing for forever, but I’ve just never done it before.” “So it’s really interesting to hear the McCrary Sisters’ vocals just pop out in the speakers when they’re not even there. “We’re sampling the background vocals with a sample pad, which I never would have done in the past,” he says. I love that zone.” The voices of longtime Nashville trio the McCrary Sisters can be heard during the song, even though they aren’t onstage. “It’s really powerful to start the set off with it, and I think there’s a strangeness to it.

“In 2018, this is really the song I want to project to people,” he says. White recorded this frenetic rocker with everyone from the White Stripes to Jay-Z before finally getting it right on Boarding House Reach – so it makes sense that it’s the first thing he wants to play when he steps onstage. White chose to talk about his May 2nd show at the Austin360 Amphitheater. We asked him to take us inside his showtime brain and walk us through how he decides what to play on the fly. That would be an interesting experiment.” “Maybe one day, it’d be interesting to do a tour where none of the musicians are allowed to speak to each other. You really don’t need to know each other.” That gives White an idea.

“It always surprises me when people who barely know each other just play music together and it works out. They come from very different backgrounds – Evans has played with Soulive for two decades while Davis is a Nashville session pro. On his Boarding House Reach tour this summer, White has recruited a band that includes drummer Carla Azar, bassist Dominic Davis and pianists Quincy McCrary and Neal Evans. 'Silence of the Lambs': The Complete Buffalo Bill Story And everyone has been just gangbusters happy about it, which is so shocking and surprising, and so many other bands have been calling us and saying, ‘How are you guys doing that? We’re thinking about doing that too.’ The most negative thing I’ve heard is people don’t know what time it is anymore.”

I kinda wanted it to be like going to an escape room or going to a movie theater. “I thought it’s an experiment to see what will people do in this scenario. “I’m happy people are happy with it,” he says of the feedback he’s been getting. I like going on tour for two, two-and-a-half weeks because it resets everything in your brain”) and bans cellphones, asking fans to lock them up in pouches for the show. He also keeps his tours short (“It’s a way of making sure that I don’t get into any ruts. The no-set-lists rule is one of the many ways White tries to keep his shows exciting. “And I want each show to be different so that the crowd is in control of what’s really happening onstage, whether they know it or not.” This approach has created magic – like a recent 27-song Brooklyn show where he revived deep cuts like the Raconteurs ballad “Carolina Drama” – and disappointment in 2012 White was unimpressed with the audience at Radio City Music Hall and walked offstage after less than an hour. During his time in the White Stripes and with his many solo bands since, one thing has always stayed the same about Jack White‘s live show: no set lists.
