In an unconventional move, Jack White gave us all a real reason to tune into the music industry's biggest event, when he surprisingly revealed that he would be taking the stage at 55th Annual Grammy Awards last week. Traditionally Jack has shied away from major television appearances with only a few exceptions. Since it's been nine years since Jack took the stage at the Grammys, let's take a moment to reflect on the very best of his televised performances.

5. The White Stripes play "Icky Thump" on Jools Holland

Jack and Meg tore through a raw and loose rendition of their hit single "Icky Thump." Watch to see Jack play keys and guitar at the same time!

While The White Stripes were on hiatus, Jack decided to mix things up by hopping on drums.




3. The White Stripes play "Seven Nation Army" at the 46th Grammy Awards

1. Jack White plays "Mother Nature's Son" at The White House
