I was fortunate enough to see The Raconteurs at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles in 2008, the same year they released their Consolers Of The Lonely album. Prior to the release of this album, the only thing I had heard by them was the song “Steady, As She Goes.” Despite really liking Consolers Of The Lonely, I was hesitant about going to the show because I was not familiar with the previous record, and I figured I would kind of be lost if they played a lot of those songs. Boy, was I wrong. While they did play a good number of songs from the prior record, their energy and performance was so engaging that there was absolutely no lull in my enjoyment. True pros.
