After funnyman Conan O’Brien and music mastermind Jack White made subtle hints of “working together” at White’s record label headquarters in Nashville, fans began to line up around the block, eagerly awaiting a legendary event hours before it was even expected to happen. But the excruciating southern heat wasn’t taken in vain, for the patient people found themselves witnessing a rock show featuring the unexpected friends inside of Third Man Records.

O’Brien and his backing band played a number of tunes from their current “Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour.” White then joined the former-late-night host for their interpretation of Eddie Cochran’s “Twenty Flight Rock” and O’Brien’s rendition of Radiohead’s “Creep.” Fans who were lucky enough to witness the event got first dibs on a pressed recording of the show.

I’m intrigued to hear from witnesses what the full show was like. O’Brien is known for his passion of rockabilly and has put on some decent performances during his late night run. Surprisingly, his voice isn’t bad…at all. Him and White have carried a steady friendship, he appeared in the White Stripes music video “Denial Twist,” and the band performed on the finale of O’Brien’s run on “The Tonight Show.” White’s known for his somewhat sadistic and overall enthralling performances, so their onstage chemistry is something I’m interested in hearing about. There are a few videos on Pitchfork’s web site, and Team Coco has all of the details.
