The Raconteurs had filmed their music video for "Level" in Brooklyn to a small crowd of ~45 fans. Here's what the blogger had to say:

"t was a live performance video, they performed 'Level' the most, obviously, slowly getting each take better and better. But they would also play other songs in between takes for the audience. When Jack broke his guitar string and we were waiting for it be fixed, they went into a impromptu version of 'Big Wheels Keep on Turnin,' also when waiting for the cameras they were playing around and ended up going into a Raconteurs version of 'Misirlou' from Pulp Fiction. They also played 5x5, Blue Veins, Intimate Secretary, and they closed the afternoon with an amazing version of Broken Boy Soldiers."

And more (including an Jack White's explanation that he doesn't hate Jack Black, haha):

"It was an amazing afternoon, and the band was super cool to everyone there, talking to everyone in between takes. Jack showed us his customized guitar which is made of Copper, and was letting us hold it and comparing the weight to Brendan's wooden guitar. They also talked about the VMAs, and mentioned the bombed joke of Jack Black and Jack White forming a band, which I found interesting. Apparently they talked about it before hand and White's non-response to Black's suggestion of forming the band was supposed to be the punchline, but White commented that, but when he watched it on TV later on, he thought he just looked pissed off and was an asshole, and everyone started asking him why he hated Jack Black, his mom even asked him why he hated Black. He said he just cant shake the misconception that he doesn't have a sense of humor. White ended everything by walking around to everyone in the crowd and shaking every one's hand and thanked them for coming."
