Band still smokin' though!
Not my least favorite but I do think he may be tuckered out after so many back-to-back shows the last few nights.

Did Jack do anything else? Looked like he was ready to play another and then Jimmy interrupted him.
At least I'm not racin' towards a red light…

Thank you, Tulsa. I can't even lie to you. I love your town so much. Tulsa is more America than America is America. God bless you. I love you. Thank you so much.

That's a damned hard song to sing, they must've slowed it down so that Jack could get the lyrics out clean on national tv. Once the verses were done, they kicked it up a notch. He doesn't have to worry about flubbing lines at his own shows, but on tv? Gotta nail it. At least the whole Tonight Show audience has now been exposed to the wit of his word-play.
"And the message is clear: if we want Jack White as our hero, he will entertain, but not pander. We have to accept all his flaws, whims, caprices and manias as a critical, sometimes uncomfortable, part of the contract."
