It has been brought to my attention from the West Coasters that read this site that Jack totally flipped out on several occasions during the White Stripes shows at the Greek Theater in Berkeley, CA.
On the first night one of the balloons promoting the radio station sponsoring the event, Live 105, found its way to the stage, and Jack stops the song and starts collecting the balloons and throwing them backstage in an effort to stop the disruption of his set. After finally finishing the song, Jack makes a comment saying that he demands that the radio station write out an apology for the disturbance.
The second night, a balloon ended up right on top of Jack's piano during the song "My Doorbell." According to my sources, Jack "freaked" and stormed off of the stage, telling the audience, "Well Live 105, I'm gonna take a 5 minute break!" Meg laughed and then followed him. It took the band 5 minutes before they returned to the stage--Jack bowing to the crowd and humbly smiling.
At the end of the show during the last song, "Boll Weevil," a man jumped onto the stage, pushed Jack out of the way and sang "JACK'S LOOKING FOR A HOME!," into the microphone. Jack glared at him with an angry eye, and the man promptly jumped from the stage into the crowd standing a yard or two below him. It was then when Jack started mocking him with such taunts as, "DID YOUR MOMMY AND DADDY DROP YOU OFF AT THE WRONG CONCERT?" Then he prompted the audience to be quiet and stare and point at the man who dared interrupt the concert.
Later the band played one final song, "Fell in Love with a Girl."
And right now Live 105 has decided to play a mocking public apology radio announcement dedicated to Jack White. The lengthy fake PSA describes why the radio station uses balloons.
Here are two wav files from the second night provided by Maryna:

Let me tell ya a story about a very special gift I received from a, from a man that I didnâ??t know very well. But he brightened up the night and made it one of the great shining moments of our long tour.
----------
Backstage in Detroit
And the room is full of smoke and apprehension
We'd been playing shows
As the warm-up and the band for Beck Hanson
In walks Jack, says - "How'd ya do?" (Oh yeah)
Then he handed me this wonderful statue.
And I said, "Thank you Jack White
For the fiber-optic Jesus that you gave me."
It shined so bright
That I couldn't help believin' it would save me.
When I finally got it home
My whole neighborhood was aglow
And I said, "Thank you Jack White
For the fiber-optic Jesus that you gave me."
Jack and Meg are funny
They got a modern backwards-liberal family code
Brother and sister
Playing rock 'n' roll and doing it on the road
I bet that van begin to stink
But then I wonder - oh - what Christ would think.
I said, "Thank you Jack White
For the fiber-optic Jesus that you gave me."
It shined so bright
That I couldn't help believin' it would save me.
And when I finally got it home
My whole neighborhood was aglow
And I said, "Thank you Jack White
For the fiber-optic Jesus that you gave me."

Did I ever tell you that you remind me of week #4.25 from the movie 9 1/2 Weeks?

what the hell?
that can't be right.
i was AT the first night show at the Greek Theatre.
first of all, the radio station sponsoring was in fact KROQ 106.7. . .
i was also watching the stage like a hawk, and saw no balloons nor heard jack mention anything about the supposed radio station...
confused?
