Video: Jack White Mashes “Icky Thump” and “99 Problems”

Jack White further cements his place at the top of the list of the most exciting acts to see live with his current run of surprise covers of hit, the latest taking place during his stop in Louisville’s Forecastle Festival.

During that set, White and his band of old-school Blues revivalists wove in a bit of Jay Z’s “99 Problems” into “Icky Thump.” White’s signature sound these days is a fitting foundation for him yelling out “I’ve got 99 problems but a bitch ain’t one!” The band then proceeded to finish out by covering the Dick Dale’s classic, “Misirlou” before going back into “Icky Thump.” Pure awesomeness See it above.
