The Black Keys Fan Lounge Forum

Anyone know if there is a reason that they end with this?? Just wondering because I know they always do?

yea its either that or I got mine, and no I do not leave early, unless they are playing with Kings of Leon : )

I've seen the Key's 6 times now, and I believe they've ended with "Till I Get My Way" 5 times. Just a loud, pumpin, short show ender. No complant's, they end that shit with a bang!!

No big deal. I was just sayin' they don't ALWAYS end with it. And they never ended with it before A&R.

The Keys I've seen 8 times. And I've seen Dan & The Fast Five twice.

Awesome, How was the fast five?

Truthfully, at the time, I liked seeing Dan and the Fast Five better than I liked seeing the Keys.

Allow me to clarify...

When I first started liking the Black Keys, those first 3 or 4 times I saw them were incredible. Top notch, best shows ever, hands down. But naturally once you've done something enough times it loses a little bit of its awesomeness. Nothing against the band, it's just how it is - kinda like "been there, done that". So by the time DA&TFF were touring, I had seen the Keys a bunch and it was really refreshing to see a different setup. And I have a hard-on for Hacienda so that made it even better. It was like my favorite guitarist/frontman playing with one of my favorite bands.

And I really like how DA&TFF did some obscure cover songs and they had a real "jam" vibe goin'. Obviously not fair to compare DA&TFF to TBK because they are two very different animals. You can't have a 2 man jam band. But yeah, DA&TFF did an Animals cover that was fucking dyno-mite! It's called "Inside Looking Out" and they knocked it out of the fucking park at Lollapalooza. The crowd went nuts. The band went nuts. Dan was jumping around like a one legged man in an ass kicking contest - but this time the one legged man won! Haha. They did another cover "Oh Carol I'm So Sad" by Rockin' Horse. Oh and they did this unreleased Dan song called "Money & Trouble", and it's a great tune.

Sidenote- the Greenhornes covered "Inside Looking Out" a long time before Dan did. They did it on their self-titled "Greenhornes" album but it's not nearly as good as when Dan does it.
