The Black Keys Fan Lounge Forum

I thought I would share some TBK live photos from early on. This was from a small club show in Omaha in March of 2003. I was there on the advice from some very cool friends as I had never really heard of them before.

Seeing TBK like that, just the 2 of them, so up-close and powerful, I was of course quite blown away. I can easily say it was as close as I will ever come to feeling what those who witnessed Hendrix playing live in 1966 London must have felt. Complete awe.

I love how it's nothing fancy at all. House lighting, a 3-piece mismatch drum kit, 1 cymbal and hats, one guitar, a combo amp and a couple of pedals.

D'aww they look like babies! Little green babies.
Good stuff, thanks.

cool. check out dan's shoes. pre-boots. they look like they cost $2.50 from walmart. can see them in photo 7

wow those are cool. I would like to see other peoples contribution because these kind of pictures could be hot items to us super fans.

Some very nice pic's very atmospheric.

That's awesome, I probably was not at the show if I can't remember it. It's weird though because I remember being at Sokol, either the underground or the auditorium like every weekend back in those days...back when Omaha was the "hot shit music spot".

It's kind of surprising. It was mostly a fashionable "indie rock" thing. It did get some decent shows here for a while. Now it seems a lot of cool shows are in Iowa or Kansas/MO.

Ha! No, the current haircut is much less "high school guidance counselor".
