"There's a lot of dangerous stuff going on," Jack White told Rolling Stone recently of his new live show. "The crowd can smell that." He delivered on that promise during his two-night stand at Roseland Ballroom in New York, playing a thundering set with an all-male band on the first evening and a soulful, literally explosive show with an all-female band on the second.

The crowd of 1,200 howled in response as she launched into their hyperactive 2010 cut "Kids," climbing atop a riser and whiplashing her jet-black locks to guitarist-producer Derek Miller's hammering rhythms. "We always feel like we're playing a team sport," Miller says earlier that afternoon,... | More »
