Great job now go get the Flamin' Groovies albums kids.

Quite simply one of the most exciting rock performances ever...the drummer is my hero...the song is almost unknown..but has been a classic in my head since the Groovies recorded it...and thanks to Jack White I discovered Wanda Jackson...and saw her in concert last week... Bring back The Raconteurs I say...Rock and Roll is here to stay...

I love this cover.

The Flamin' Groovies would be proud of them !

Respect the Flamin' Groovies!

I love that they are true to the double solo, it's what brings the song to it's climax.

never heard of Raconteurs till now. thumbs up to them for covering such a great song

Is this the Best Groovies Groove ever?

Super cool 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

I wish they would put this on DVD.

Best Rock n' Roll band around.

Patrick keeler? Patrick KILLER. That rabbit foot bass drum shit explodes my brain every time

I discovered Flamin' Groovies when I saw The White Stripes doing Teenage Head in a medley, many years ago, and I'm thankful to Jack for knowing them.

If you enjoy this song, then you owe it to yourself to listen to the album from which the original was on: Flamingo by the Flamin’ Groovies released in 1970. A rock ‘n’ roll classic! But don’t stop there, you must then listen to Teenage Head, which was released the following year. Brilliant!

⁠If you mean it was "borrowed" from Ray Charles' "I Don't Need No Doctor", I agree. But let's face it, everyone borrowed from everyone and still do. The lyrics are most definitely Flamin' Groovies lyrics.

the raconteurs are on fire....jack white is blazing!!!

Flaming Groovies's classic from Flamingo album.100% rock!

the most musically gifted band from my generation.

The Raconteurs are one of few bands that could put out an album full of covers, and have it hold up to their original stuff... and the covers be better than the original versions.

Not this cover, though. It lacks the combination of loose and flowing intensityintensity that the original does. This has intensity, but is more tight fisted.

@@eastwest42286 The Flamingo album is packed with both high energy numbers like this tune and more soulful songs like Childhood's End and She's Falling Apart. A killer LP indeed. Also like Teenage Head, another great collection of original compositions given that in later years the band did a lot of cover versions.

Awsome performance

version of this song live at leeds is the best!! unbelievable!

i love the double solo they do SO MUCH

Justice done

Amazing drum fill at 3:41.

Loved this when I saw it on ACL years ago. When I looked for it on Itunes, I couldn't find a listing, but I did find a version from 2001 by the Maggots (Sorry, the Flaming Groovies weren't listed either. Admittedly, I thought the Raconteurs were covering the Maggots!), which I purchased. Similar feel and tempo. Recommended.

FLAMIN' GROOVIES FOREVER! i still have my rubber stamp

UNBELIEVABLE

this is THE song for today....Texas Independence Day y'all!!!! and Jack White is a god

makes me want to steal a car and runaway with a suitcase full of bills flying in the wind

Great twin guitars!

I love PK too!

This is a pbs performance of them.. .they do have it on DVD.. you'll get cat power too... I had it saved on a DVR... but it got erased.. :(

This song is E G A!

straight up E A B blues!

great cover!

One of the few songs UI ever learnt the solo off Cyril San Francisco every weekend Groovies gig was our hit Cyril got pissed off with us Brit lsads because Danny Mihm met us in the bar before gigs Like Baldy was a saint!

@ kinetic82, I'm hoping they were all awestruck by the talent.

i like brendan`s guild more than his telecaster, its more interesting sounding and looking.

awesome

Patrick Keeler is the best damn drummer in the world. apart from Keith Moon that is

@robsmale an underated band all together

hell yes!!! soooo cool to see j white and co. cover one of the best bands ever -the proto-punk gods (flamin groovies)

oh yeah Jack !!

Jack White makes my skin crawl, but that fucking rocked.

the vocal sounds exactly the same as the white stripes - outlaw blues [bob dylan cover]

it must be the first time the Groovies got any royalties for one of them killer tunes.... thanks to Jack White even if I still prefer the Flaming(o) version

°___° my mind was blown away...

i can't disagree with that but theres plenty of good bands nowadays! good for us

@TheRacboys you can download it illegaly dude dont be shy just do it

i dig the cover, but the Flaming Groovies pull off the ending so much better... Of course, They wrote the song. Raconteurs still rule for covering the Flaming Groovies though. Long Live Rock!!!

does anyone know where to get any good live performances of them on dvd? i swear i've been jamming their live videos off youtube through my phone and into the car for weeks months now...even more than the actual albums.

Good job but still can't touch the Groovies version

it should be "Border," friend-o

i prefer the Flamin' Groovies original version
