Where did you get that copy of Tenn. Border ? Is that from the Cannery Ballroom show in Nashville ? I was there and I'd love to get a copy of that show.
I think this is from that show, but it was officially released as an "iTunes exclusive" track with the Icky Thump pre-order. Good thing The Raconteurs did away with those types of "exclusive" tracks this time around because it's a slap in the face to the fans who actually want a physical CD or record. Anyway, as far as I can tell, there was no bootleg of the Nashville show (or at least no one's sharing it).
agree 100%. at least let me buy it off itunes for a dollar, no stringes attached.
