A review from Nilina Mason-Campbell.
Operating sans set-list, The Raconteurs returned to Portland via the Wonder Ballroom last night with a set full of enough guitar solos and duels in an hour and a half to out-do a Stephen Malkmus set three times as long. The Raconteurs co-frontman Brendan Benson handled the bulk of mic duties [...]
