The Black Keys

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.

Great show! The sound was great. The venue had all seats so you could be comfortable and not smushed. Also great views even from high up. We were down low and close and first time at this venue and was impressed by the organization. I do have to say grab your drinks at the bars in the casino before you walk in. Beers much cheaper right outside than inside the concert venue.

Saw The Black Keys with Cage the Elephant, and The Stone Foxes, a little ways back. At The Mesa Amphitheater, of all places. Before they new up. Right up front. Tonight?!! Fronts. I’m the loud, obnoxious, bald asshole. Stage left. Sorry if I negatively impacted ANYONE’s show. They don’t let me out much. The meds and booze mixed a little too well. And…. OH YEAH….. I’m an asshole. Butt I’m filled with good tidings. And, of course, ….shit! So Dan threw me the pick he’d been using most of the night. The chips and scratches tell the tale. The Dude next to me? Shouted it out loud, that it was meant for me. This guy- Going to Heaven. GOOD MAN!!!!!!!!!!! The security guard- big, bald, and righteously cool- I can’t say enough good things. He’s a cool, relaxed, alert, and attentive cat..!!!! And if I were you, I wouldn’t F#%€ with him. That is one big, solid dude. And not only a great guy, but ONE HELLUVA MODEL AMERICAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Ak-Chin!! Thank you , Joann!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Dan and Patrick!!!!!!!! 3rd show. BEST YET!!!! See y’all next year, or in another state, only sooner. ONE LOVE!!!!!!!!!!

Great show by the artist. However....They are really starting to treat paying customers like cattle. They are now telling people, "I have to take your cap", when you buy a water for $6.50. "People throw them", one person said. Well, people could throw a lot of things. That's insane. Because someone once threw a plastic cap, they are going to take them all away??!! Also, this business of having to buy a clear plastic piece of luggage instead of letting women carry purses like they always have, is completely moronic too. That is being sold as, "It saves time searching you." Yeah well, it's plastic that will end up in the environment before long because the bags they sell are cheap garbage. It's not just this venue. I went to a show at the Paladium and same thing. Seems like a standard that the corporate concert control people have established for the safety narrative. And they well sell you the solution. What's next? We have to buy disposable slippers because you can throw your shoes?? Just ask Bush!

Great concert!!! Solid vocals by Dan Auerbach. Patrick Carney puts out a beat that had almost everyone dancing throughout the whole show. The band was tight and sounded amazing at the Shoreline! The Black Keys is a bluesy rock band with so many great songs it was a fun experience!

Pretty incredible experience. I was anticipating this not being such a great show but they really filled out the sound in the arena, the sound was way better than the band of horses who played before them and the led screen enhanced the experience without being too distracting. Patrick's drum kit really packs a punch and Dan's vocals and guitar really worked this set. Great show.

I saw these guys first when they opened for Kings of Leon over 10 years ago and they were just breaking out and they played Little Black Submarines!! Fast Forward to 2019 when I saw them as the headliner at State Farm Arena and I had a BLAST!!! Then I saw them at their most recent show and I WAS BLOWN AWAY!! THESE GUYS JUST KEEP GETTING BETTER AND BETTER WITH AGE!! OMG.....SO MUCH FUN!! WOULD DEFINITELY PUT THIS GROUP ON MY MUST SEE LIST FOR ANY UPCOMING SHOWS!!

Excellent! Started off with energetic takes on 7 consecutive big Black Keys fan favorites that spanned 20 years. I got Mine, Howlin’ for You, Fever, Tighten Up, Your Touch, It Ain’t Over, and Gold on the Ceiling. If they’d sprinkled just those songs amongst 15 clunkers, it would still have been a good concert. But wait, there’s more! Next they invited Delta Kream collaborators and veteran “Delta Blues” blues men Kenny Brown (slide guitar) and Eric Dearon (bass) to the stage. Together they ripped through a half dozen covers of the likes of Junior Kimbrough and John Lee Hooker. The effect was mesmerizing. They hit the home stretch with eight songs that skewed newer, including several off their latest album, Dropout Boogie. The encore was a double barrel satisfier. When I spied an acoustic being adjusted by the guitar tech, I hoped Little Black Submarines would surface, and it did. And the crowd went wild! And then they closed with Lonely Boy! Bam! Great show. Band Of Horses impressed with their one hour set. Most notably with their two big hits ‘No one’s gonna love you’ and ‘the funeral’ . Really impressive was the lead singer’s flawless falsetto. And the long haired, jacked-armed bassist was fun to watch as he jumped all around the stage. In isolation, you couldn’t be faulted for thinking you were watching a Metallica cover band by watching him. Opener Early James from Birmingham impressed in a style about 180 degrees removed from Band of Horses. Early’s overalls were a good match for his booming voice. He would join the Black Keys later to play guitar on one number. His guitarist played lap steel on a few of their songs. The weather was perfect, and in Northeast Ohio in The Black Keys’ backyard that won’t be true for long. It made the magic of the music that much more precious.

Fabulous show from start( I've Got Mine) to finish(Lonely Boy). Great to see them for a second time this year and this show was one to remember. The storms came within a mile of the venue and kept it cool....for August in Florida. Nice mix of tunes from different albums and genres. Hope you were there!

This show was really rockin’ I saw some reviews to the contrary for past shows, but Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney brought it out last night as the sun set in Tinley Park. Even after jammin with Delta Kream, they came back with strong vocals and mad drummin to the end, with my particular favorite, Gold on the Ceiling. Went to the Ladies room late in the encore, saw people down the center still rockin out. I went to see Band of Horses too as I really like tracks, In A Drawer and Crutch, from two difft albums. Enjoyed watching the whole band perform them live. Ceramic Animal a nice surprise in a cowboy hat, lookin up their music! Can’t ignore the light show and graphics behind The Black Keys, esp the train runnin behind them at high speed. Satisfying check off the bucket list.

Black Keys got in staged and just killed it. First twoo bands were okay but I'm not if the realized how big of a venue they were playing because it felt like they were just playing for the from two row. Poor sound quality crap lighting no cameras or screen. Black Keys got in and had amazing sound quality a wild light show, cameras. Felt like they were playing for everyone.

I had a love/hate relationship with this concert. The mix for Shannon and the clams as well as Modest Mouse was terrible. There was a lot of feedback for both bands. I couldn't understand half of the lyrics for Modest Mouse, I think their music has too many layers for an arena style venue. The only thing that saved the show was...THE BLACK KEYS. Their mix was perfect, they weren't too loud and drowned out. I could hear the lyrics perfectly and they sounded amazing. They were great and put on a wonderful show.

EPIC!!!!! Front row. Dan and Patrick are true legends of our time. And some great guys as well!! They tore the roof off the place. VERY long set, with 3 song encore!! Jake Bugg is a fantastically talented, prodigious, old school, old soul, who's vocal ranges are only out measured by his musical talent. Strong Buddy Holly-influenced, bluesy rock and roll. To be so good, so young, he has an innate talent that should carry him far in the music industry. A truly wonderful show that left us mesmerized in the sound for the whole night!!! Thank you, BiT, for another front row seat to the hottest ticket in town!!!

I have been to some great shows -- this was easily one of the best. So much energy, precision, and danceable music. I saw them about five years ago; I thought they were great then, but that was nothing compared to their show last night. The addition of a grooving bassist and great keys player made a world of difference.

Music was great, not one hiccup at all. Lighting was phenomenal. Crowd was very supportive and just an over all great vibe. I do have one thing that bothers me a tad bit, and that is that in between songs they should interact more with the crowd, have a conversation or tell a story or something. Thats just my opinion tho. Great concert!!!

Really awesome set with some amazing visuals set up. Obviously sounded great. The only thing that bothered me a little bit is that the songs are played at just enough of a slight slower tempo to where it feels off from the studio versions I know and love. Overall still a fantastic show though. Great setlist.

Best concert I've been to in my entire life. Been a huge fan for about 5 years and this was the first time I was able to see them live. Bought floor tickets and they were worth every single penny. I've never heard a place react to a band like that! The Black Keys tore the roof of the place and rocked Charlotte to the core!
