Review: In First Alaska Performance, an Acoustic Jack White Captivates His Audience
In a show Monday evening that marked his first trip to Alaska and was billed as the enigmatic musician’s first-ever totally acoustic performance, Jack White captivated concert-goers, many of whom waited for hours outside the Wendy Williamson Auditorium in a sopping snowfall earlier that day for a chance at a precious ticket.
Last week, White announced he would play acoustic shows in each of the five states where he had yet to perform live. On Monday, the artist disclosed on his website that Alaska would host the first of those pop-up gigs, with White playing the concert that same evening.
That triggered a rush by fans to Anchorage’s Wendy Williamson, where tickets, in the form of a non-transferable bracelet, went on sale at noon for $3 a seat with a limit of one per customer.
