Jack White doesn't want to play those three hour shows, 'FYI'

Jack White has addressed discussions about the length of his live performances.

Taking to Instagram, White reflected on the ongoing discourse surrounding his sets, which typically average 90 minutes and feature between 16 to 22 songs.

'Been hearing a lot of chatter throughout the year of this glorious electric touring about how long our sets are 'supposed to be' on stage', White wrote. 'As if the length of a show determines how 'good' it is. I know that we're living in a current era where people like to say 'so and so played for 3 hours last night!', and brag about it the next day hahaha, I'll let our fans know now that my mind has no intention of 'impressing' y'all in that context'.

White continued, 'The Beatles and Ramones played 30 minute (ish) sets, and If I could, I would do the same at this moment in my performing life. That's actually the kind of show I'd like to put on right now. But there becomes this chatter that the cost of a ticket 'entitles' people to some kind of extra long show…uh…ok (hahaha) so I'm bridging the gap'.

'I've seen a plethora of rock and roll gigs that lasted 45 minutes and blew my mind and inspired me beyond belief', he added. 'Read the room, leave everyone exhausted and inspired (hopefully) and most of all wanting more, without needing 3 hours to do it'.
