Member Review: The Black Keys

Byzantine Bill, a longtime BPD member sent this to us:

This was a night to celebrate good old rock n’ roll delivered to perfection and with plenty of style by The Black Keys.

They opened with the barnburner, Howlin’ For You, from their 2010 breakthrough disc, Brothers, and never really let up for the next hour and 25 minutes, showing off their musicianship and really feeling the music.

They pulled no punches on such standouts as the harder-edged Same Old Thing, Thickfreakness, and I Got Mine; a trio of fun dance songs from their 2011 album, El Camino, Dead and Gone, Gold On The Ceiling and Lonely Boy, and the sexy, soulful Girl Is On My Mind, I’ll Be Your Man, Your Touch, Ten Cent Pistol and Tighten Up.

And when they trotted out the epic acoustic-then-electric El Camino number, Little Black Submarines, they recalled both Jethro Tull and Jimi Hendrix.

How is this possible?

Then a giant disco ball descended before a three song encore which kicked off with Everlasting Light -prompting a crowd clap-a-long - and it seemed like the perfect sweet and fluffy icing on a really rich cake.

It’s always hard to believe that just two people, often backed by bassist Gus Seyffert and keyboardist John Wood, can make such a glorious-sounding racket but they can and do.

“Come on, let’s get moving,” said Auerbach, off the top and he seemed to be talking as much to himself and Carney as the audience.

Turned out there was no need for a pep talk, this duo only has one speed and that’s fully switched on, committing to each other and each and every song, and then projecting that chemistry outwards.

The connection between the band and the fans was palpable.

“We love coming here,” Auerbach told me backstage over a cold one.

And I loved havin' them.
