I haven’t been to a Black Keys concert in a long time. They did not disappoint. This was a great show! A shout out to Starlight Theater. It’s been years since I’ve been there also. So many great updates. More restrooms, places to eat. The huge fans cooling people down. A beautiful venue for a concert or play.

So grateful I managed to get tickets to see the black keys . This will a gig I will remember forever . The seats we managed to get where closer to the standing area so great views of the band . The supporting acts were good , I like some of the tracks by spoon which were quite catchy , Shannon and the clams I liked their sound it was different to stuff I heard before and I also liked that the singer had Manchester ancestry 😊. The black keys rocked though , I couldn’t stop dancing like a idiot probably haha , but the atmosphere was amazing and I was glad Dan had mentioned to some member (beef cake) of the crowd to calm down in a tactful way , it’s good for everyone to have a safe fun night and appreciate he was thinking of his fans safety . Will love to see the black keys again if I get the chance

Shannon and the Clams started the evening off with some interesting sounds. Reminiscent of 60s American pop but with a nice indie edge to the music. New and I teresting. I'll definitely follow their progress. Next up was Spoon, who I have followed for some time. It was great to see them play live for the first time. A cracking set filled with catchy hooks and power playing. Love them to bits still. They have gone up in my estimation, so much energy.
The Black Keys then took a nicely warmed up O2 arena and blew the roof off the place. The dirty guitar sounds and Dan and Patrick's playing were off the charts. The backing band added further textures and the evening was faultless. Incredible riffs and power drumming got the whole place jumping. The light show was great as well. Pretty much the perfect evening out.

About The Black Keys
The Black Keys are a two-man blues-rock group from Akron, Ohio, United States which formed in 2001, consisting of singer and guitarist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney. The band name was inspired by a schizophrenic artist and friend in Akron, who used the term "black keys" to describe things he disliked or people he did not trust. The Black Keys have roots in traditional blues and psychedelic rock stylings.
They released their first album, The Big Come Up, in 2002, followed by Thickfreakness in 2003, and Rubber Factory in 2004. October 2005 saw the release of the DVD Live, recorded live at The Metro Theatre in Sydney, Australia March 18, 2005. In 2006 they released Magic Potion, as well as the lesser-known Chulahoma and a single version of Your Touch.
One of their trademarks is their preference for simple, lo-fi recording techniques. They refuse to use big-name studios, and do most recording, producing, and mixing themselves. Most of Thickfreakness was recorded in about 14 hours in Carney's basement, using only an early 80's Tascam 388 8-track recorder. Often, their recordings still have background noises (such as an owl hooting).
The Black Keys have achieved increasing critical acclaim and recognition since their debut album, which itself received praise from Rolling Stone magazine. Time magazine named them one of the "10 Best Acts of 2003" (behind OutKast and The White Stripes). They have supported a number of bands: they toured with Sleater-Kinney in 2003, had a short stint opening for Beck, have recently opened for Radiohead on the American leg of their brief 2006 tour, and performed at Lollapalooza in 2005 and 2007. In addition to this, they were also well-liked by influential British radio DJ John Peel and appeared on both Late Night with Conan O'Brien and The Late Show with David Letterman. Famous followers of the band include Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant, Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top, Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead, and Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammet. Matt Helders, drummer for the Arctic Monkeys, can be seen in a Black Keys T-Shirt in an interview on MTV's RAW.
The Black Keys have recieved a good deal of commercial recognition as well: 'Set You Free' was included on the soundtrack of the 2003 movie School of Rock, 'Girl is on My Mind' was used in a 2006 Sony Ericsson advertisement, which starred the tennis players Ana Ivanović and Daniela Hantuchova, and 'The Desperate Man' was used in a 2006 Victoria's Secret commercial featuring Heidi Klum. 'Your Touch' was featured in an episode of HBO's 'Entourage'. Their song "Your Touch" was featured in a 2007 Lee's jeans commercial. 'When The Lights Go Out' is the opening track in Craig Brewer's 'Black Snake Moan'
Their new record the Danger Mouse produced Attack & Release was out April 1st 2008. The duo's fifth it is the first one recorded in a proper studio.
