We previously reported that Jack White would be celebrating the release of his debut solo record Blunderbuss with a performance at New York's Webster Hall as part of American Express's Unstaged series.

Well, if you missed Friday's (April 27) live webcast on YouTube, don't worry -- you can now watch the full concert, which was directed by British actor Gary Oldman. Opening with a nine-minute mini-documentary that shows White tackling Oldman and giving him a fat lip, as well as the two discussing their newfound partnership, the video then launches into a huge 21-song set courtesy of the former White Stripe.

White opens the set featuring his all-female band with the White Stripes' classic "Dead Leaves on the Dirty Ground," then runs through other favourites like "Hotel Yorba" and the Dead Weather's "Blue Blood Blues," in addition to new cuts from Blunderbuss.

The second half features White's male backing band and features more career-spanning tunes, as well as a brief cover of Frank Ocean's bit from Jay-Z and Kanye West's Watch the Throne album opener "No Church in the Wild."
