Wow...that venue holds several thousand people. They sold out a 3300 seater here a couple years ago, but this might be pushin' it.

I bet a lot of people would travel from elsewhere to see them though--or are we talking like 12K or something?

I'm hoping they do the usual 4 shows in Detroit - 2 to kick off the tour and 2 as an end-of-tour homecoming. I saw all 4 on the Elephant tour and they were wonderful.

i'll be at street scene in san diego. can't wait.

Looks like I'll be driving to Chicago to see them.

Starlight holds 8100...pretty good sized jump from 3300 to 8100. Then again, I was surprised that they sold out the show I saw a couple years back. I guess I tend to underestimate how big they've become, cuz I've been into them since the 1st album, but don't watch MTV or anything. It just doesn't seem possible that they're THAT popular. lol. I remember being pissed cuz they cancelled a show here that I was going to several years ago...in a place that holds about 300 people.

Anyway...here's a nifty 3D photo thingy of the venue : http://www.kcpt.org/uniquely_kc/educati ... tTour.html

white stripes playing 8100-capacity venues? wow, it was only three years ago that i saw them at a 350-capacity bar.

April 02 I saw them in the Union Ballroom at Michigan State, w/ about 300-400 people. It was right as they were taking off around here and was the first time I saw them. They fried my brain and I was less than a 2 ft from Jack at times. Awesome, awesome time. The live show really adds another dimension to what they do, especially with the early songs.

keller auditorium - they are moving on up.

no love for Toronto?

this reminds me...where's that White Stripes live thing you owe me chad?

White, Benson Make A Racket With Greenhornes

By Brian Garrity and Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.


The project White Stripes vocalist/guitarist Jack White has been working on with singer/songwriter Brendan Benson and Greenhornes bassist Jack Lawrence and drummer Patrick Keeler has been christened the Raconteurs.

"We'll probably be coming out with a new record next year,” White reveals to Billboard.com. “We're almost done with it. It's something totally new for me -- two songwriters working together. Dual vocals, dual lead guitars, dual songwriting duties."

"It's a brand new band," White insists. "It's not just me and Brendan; Patrick and Jack are very talented musicians. The songs are giant. They're really large."

"It's cool, different stuff," Benson told Billboard.com last year. "Some of it sounds like Jack and some of it just sounds like Cat Stevens or something."

The Greenhornes will have plenty of time to interact with White in the months ahead, having just been chosen as the opening act for the White Stripes' upcoming North American tour.

In addition, the recent iTunes EP "East Grand Blues" will be released on CD in August via the band's own Prize Brigade Recordings. It features "Shine Like the Sun," which was recorded by Benson.

sweet. i saw the greenhornes open for the white stripes in 2001 at pier 54 and it was excellent, maybe even my favorite outdoor show.
