Tuesday night’s sold-out Jack White show at Landmark Credit Union Live was a phone-free show. Before entering the venue you dropped your phone in a Yondr pouch and a staff member locked it up. You were then free to take your pouch and carry it with you throughout the night. There was a shoulder strap, which was nice.
Also nice: no fucking phones at a concert. No distractions from phones around you, no distractions from your own phone. You were forced to be present. You were forced to simply enjoy the show. And, in this case, you were “forced” to enjoy one of the best shows of the year.
So, in the spirit of being present and simply enjoying a show, here’s a bare-bones and no-frills review of last night’s Jack White show at Landmark Credit Union Live:
Jack White ruled. Milwaukee’s own Ladybird, who opened the show, ruled. Milwaukee’s own Chris Schulist, who served as pre-show DJ and hype man, ruled. The venue was fine. Go to more shows. Be present at more shows. Enjoy.
