I must say I have been pretty jealous reading reviews about Dan Auerbach’s recent live shows. It’s not long now, however, until I get to see Dan in concert. I recently received my ticket in the mail.
I’m yet to see a poor review of the live show. If you haven’t got a ticket yet then make a move, it doesn’t look like he’ll be doing too many more shows than what are already announced.
Unanimously people have commented on:
- how at ease Dan is with his playing and other band members
- how genuinely happy he looks
- how so much more powerful and full the sound is with the live band compared to the record.
- the songs have taken on a life of their own.
Live performce at KCRW
This is awesome. Live in studio performance for Jason Bentleys’ Morning Becomes Eclectic radio show
Here’s some links to some recent live show reviews. I’ll, of course, be adding to the mix when I get to see him in April:
- Gustavus review of the First Avenue show
- Sound Citizen review of the Chicago show
- Grimy Goods review of the Bowery Ballroom show
- Broken Headphones review of the Beachland Ballroom show
Watching fans reactions pretty much real time on twitter, its clear the new songs are bringing something special for the females in the crowd. These two from one fan really caught my eye.
Enough said:

why ppl keeping mentioning how dan seems happy now. was he not happy doing the black keys?
@ Joe Fair point. Maybe just the intensity of the ‘Keys and the long tours they did last year didn’t allow as much self expression on new stuff
