Fans can tune into the free live streams at nugs.tv and on The Raconteurs’ YouTube and Facebookchannels at 9:00 PM CDT each night. The Raconteurs are currently touring in support of their long-awaited new album, HELP US STRANGER (Third Man Records), the rock band’s third studio LP and first new album in more than a decade. See below for the full list of upcoming tour dates. The live streams are happening in conjunction with the launch of a Third Man Records live archive audio program to be made available via nugs.net. Starting today, 12 shows from the archives are now available on nugs.net’s live music streaming service as well as a-la-carte downloads, Hi-Res, MQA, and CDs. New shows will be added on Third Man Thursdays, the third Thursday of each month. Today’s releases include a never-before-heard White Stripes show from 1999, The Raconteurs 2006 UK Tour (9 shows), The Dead Weather’s 2009 Mayan show in Los Angeles, and Jack White’s epic 2012 solo live debut, highlighting two sets at his home base stage at Third Man Records Blue Room in Nashville.

Third Man Records co-founder, co-owner and in-house archivist Ben Blackwell said “With literally thousands of live recordings dating as far back as 1997, the Third Man vault is filled with more shows than we could ever reasonably attempt to release in three lifetimes. We can think of no better partner than nugs.net to help share the awesomeness we’ve captured over the years.” Brad Serling, nugs.net Founder and CEO, commented, “We had a meeting of the minds the first time I walked into Third Man Records in Nashville and took a gander at the archives dating back 20 years to the very first White Stripes album. Launching the archive series with live streams from The Ryman is a perfect way to honor Jack White’s 20 year history as a recording artist and tap into the raw energy of the current Raconteurs tour.” About Third Man Records Third Man Records was launched by Jack White in Detroit, MI in 2001, and in 2009 opened its current Nashville, TN location, which houses a record store, novelties lounge (featuring the Third Man Record Booth), label offices and distribution center, photo studio, and the world’s only live venue with direct-to-acetate recording capabilities.
