The cover occurred as a medley with White’s song ‘Sixteen Saltines’ during the concert. The White Stripes previously covered ‘Devil’s Haircut’ at a show in Los Angeles in 2003.

White and Beck have recently begun collaborating, with Beck releasing one-off single ‘I Just Started Hating Some People Today’ on White’s record label Third Man in May.
