The Raconteurs were in Vancouver over the weekend for a pair of shows at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre, but that's not all Jack White and company did while they were in town. The band also played a surprise set at the city's Neptoon Records, and everyone predictably lost their minds.
The Saturday (July 20) afternoon performance was announced the day before it happened, and massive crowds descended upon the store on Main Street. Admission was free and first come, first served. This meant big lines around the block and swarms of people on the street.
Inside, White and the gang played six songs, all from this year's Help Us Stranger. Neptoon doesn't have a stage, so the band simply set up in the corner of the room.
Below, check out some social media posts from the event. See the Raconteurs' tour schedule here, and keep your fingers crossed for some more secret shows along the way.
