Jack White Performs on Austin City Limits, Tops Vinyl Charts, Releases 1999 Live Show

Jack WhiteIn the event one needs reminding of the year Jack White set out solo, the White Stripes/Raconteurs/Dead Weather/Third Man Records leader boasted three headlines in as many days this week. The Austin City Limits story speaks for itself in the video above featuring his full set on the long-running performance series. Meanwhile, the Beatles’ last-recorded LP, Abbey Road, was officially brushed off the top spot for vinyl sales in 2012 by White’s solo debut, Blunderbuss, which sold just over 33,000 copies. In celebration and in the archival tradition of the Third Man Vault subscription service, White will release a 1999 Detroit live gig when he last led a band under his solo moniker: Jack White and the Bricks: Live on the Garden Bowl Lanes, pressed on bowling-pin-white vinyl for members signed up before the end of January. Complete with Bob Dylan covers, early versions of Stripes tunes and a cut dedicated to Meg, the live record arrives in February,
