In November 2006, the Raconteurs played eight dates as the opening act for Bob Dylan on the Northeastern leg of his U.S. tour. On November 3, 2006, the Raconteurs performed the song “Store Bought Bones” and the title track, “Broken Boy Soldier” on Later with Jools Holland . According to Planet Sound (who had reporters in attendance), during “Store Bought Bones,” White’s guitar malfunctioned and they had to re-play the song. This eventually happened four times, with the band breaking up in laughter by the fourth take. The TV airing used edited pieces from all four performances and cut out any laughter. The band’s cover of ” Teenage Kicks ” by The Undertones appeared on a 40-year anniversary of the BBC live compilation. They played it live on a John Peel tribute.
