Back in 2004, Jack White joined Bob Dylan on stage in Detroit for a performance of The White Stripes’ “Ball and Biscuit.” Now, nearly two decades later, a recording of their live collaboration is being released for the first time.

White sat in with Dylan during show his show at the Detroit State Theatre in March 2004. As The White Stripes frontman recounted in a 2012 interview with The Wall Street Journal, the entire moment was by sheer happenstance. “That was just by accident. I went and saw him play in Detroit and he said to me, ‘We’ve been playing one of your songs lately at sound checks.’ I thought, Wow. I was afraid to ask which one. I didn’t even ask. It was just such an honor to hear that. Later on, I remember I went home and I called back. I said, ‘Can I talk to the bass player?’ I called the theater. I was like, ‘Did Bob mean that he wanted me to play tonight? ‘Cause he said some things that I thought maybe – maybe I misconstrued. Was he meaning that he wanted me to play with him tonight? I don’t want to be rude and pretend that I didn’t hear or something like that.’ So turned out yeah, we played together that night. He said yeah, come on, let’s play something, and we played ‘Ball and Biscuit,’ one of my songs. It’s not lost on me that he played one of my songs, not the other way around.”

The Dylan collaboration, pressed on 7-inch vinyl alongside The White Stripes’ first-ever performance of the song from 2002, will be released as part of the latest installment in Third Man Records’ Vault subscription program. The package also boasts a 3xLP recording of The White Stripes’ 2003 concert in Las Vegas.

After making a surprise appearance at Farm Aid last month, Dylan just embarked on a new leg of North American tour dates.
