On a recent tour date in Chicago, Jack White took time to play a few classic rock covers; most notably, Bob Dylan’s “Tell Me That It Isn’t True” and “Manic Depression” by Jimi Hendrix.
“Manic Depression” was the second song on the first side of Hendrix’s 1967 album, “Are You Experienced”. White’s take on the classic song was a bit more gritty on the guitar sound than the original record. But, it stays true to the sound that Hendrix created at his live shows, such as this recording from San Francisco’s Winterland in 1968.
Check it out:
“Manic Depression” was a part of White’s 33-song set during a concert experience that lasted about three hours, according to Consequence of Sound. His two and half-hour 26-song set at Bonnaroo was an accomplishment, but this Chicago show marks the longest performance of White’s career. Once again, he has outdone himself on this tour in support of Lazaretto.
