Jack White plays “secret show” at Denver service station

Less than six hours before he was scheduled to take the stage at Red Rocks Amphitheatre to perform for a sold-out crowd of 9,500 fans Wednesday night, Jack White’s silver Mercedes van rolled up to Isdajo Automotive on West Colfax Avenue.

White — one of the most celebrated musicians of the past 10 years for his work with the White Stripes, the Raconteurs, the Dead Weather and most recently, as a solo artist — played a 20-minute impromptu concert for about 300 fans on the sizzling pavement near the service station.
