The Black Keys Fan Lounge Forum

anyone go? probably the biggest gig tbk have ever played - 65,000+(?) peeps

what's maybe more interesting is dan speaking more on stage. can't ever remember him being "chatty".

Earlier in the evening, The Black Keys had warmed up for Kings Of Leon, playing for almost an hour as the sun began to set over the park.

With a set relying heavily on new album 'Brothers', Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney were joined by a full band for the majority of their set, with each stagebound member wearing a suit. Auerbach, who also wore sunglasses throughout was in particularly chatty mood, commenting on the audiences receptiveness throughout. Towards the end of the band's set he also paid tribute to Kings Of Leon, saying:

"Thank you so much for putting up with us here. I'd like to thank our good friends the Kings Of Leon for letting us play,"

tee hee.

Check out Jeff Tweedy's Sunken Treasure Live DVD if you haven't already. Great performance, and he has some very funny banter with the audience at numerous points throughout. Well worth a watch.

I wouldn't mind a little more chatter from Dan during TBK shows. Don't need a ton, it is a rock show after all, but usually all you get is "Hey everybody, we're The Black Keys, we're from Akron, OH", a few "thank you very much"'s and a "we've got a couple more songs to play for you". Not that that's bad, because you do get a bunch of kick-ass TBK songs in between...

hi there

i went to the kol gig.

luckily, at the weekend i was tuning in to the glasto highlights and caught the black keys performance. i hadn't heard of them before (unbelievably!), but straight away was hooked.

anyway, managed to get to front barrier at hyde park and loved it. the black keys definitely have a new fan now! got my ticket for the rock city gig in nov as well.

He was pretty chatty at the show I went to on his solo tour. I was at the show in Columbus, OH and he asked if the Cavs won , when he got the answer of no he said "I shouldnt have asked. Im diggin their suits though
