rockin’ out to black keys

July 28, 2010

Last night, I saw the Black Keys at DAR Constitution hall, previously featured on our blog. These guys rocked an epic set- with deep bass sounds, incredible guitar riffs, mesmerizing drum set, and Dan Auerbach’s rockin’ voice. The Black Keys opened the show to a loud applause and stripped-down stage.  They played nearly every song from their past top-10 album. Then without any sign of fatigue, they transitioned into their new album. Tighten Up was truly one of the highlights of the show- not a single butt was left in its seat. They finished the show with a stunning performance of I Got Mine -the first single from their 2nd most recent album (With Danger Mouse). 10 minutes of deafening cheers brought the band back out for a 3 song encore, which ended on a high-energy, stunning moment as Dan jumped on Patrick’s drum kit and solo’d one last time. The concert was fantastic, filled with incredible energy from the crowd and the stage.
