Got tixx for 3/10 at WTF Center. 108 row 23. Eh- crappy seats. Oh well.

Glad we have another ticket seller to charge even more fees than ticketmaster. :roll:

Yes! I was thinking the same thing. Its hard not recognize the similarity. Still a great song though.

So excited that they are coming to Maine. I wish they were playing the State Theater instead, but I'll it.

Should be a great time.

Yeah, sadly I those days have clearly past. Glad I saw them @ The Orpheum in Boston in 2008 for the Attack and Release tour.

I was at that show too! While I was out visiting my brother in Boston, I was able to catch a last minute release in the 4th row. Loved that show. Couldn't believe two guys were cranking out that much sound. Really enjoyed the last two albums but miss the days of strictly two piece.

My thoughts exactly. Love these two records as much if not more as their others, but will always miss it as just a two piece. Even though I never officially saw them as such. First time I saw them was opening for Pearl Jam.

Just got done watching their set from KROQ's Almost Acoustic Christmas show here in LA. It was awesome to hear the new stuff live. I realize it's a radio show but their set didn't include anything prior to Brothers. Just hope they don't forget about those 5 albums now that they've gained in popularity thanks to Brothers and El Camino (Both great IMO).

Those two piece shows were awesome and what drew me to them initially. That Boston show and then seeing them own the main stage at Coachella in '09. It took a few shows behind Brothers, simply due to a couple places with sound issues, but finally saw a set where I felt they killed it with Brothers stuff and older songs which was at Outside Lands this year. Looking forward to them touring next year.

Yeah, great show. I pulled about 10 rows back and center in the Ticketmaster sale. Crazy how easy it was to get tickets to their shows a few years back. Amazing show. Also caught them at Bonnaroo in 2006, but I was very unfamiliar with them at the time.

I guess its good that rock bands are getting recognition these days though.

Around that time I also pulled 3rd row KOL tickets at the Orpheum, while they were supporting Because of the Times......back when they kicked major ass.

They also had a couple guys shooting video with Sony FS-100s last night and they had crowd mics set up so maybe we will be getting a Black Keys live DVD at the end of the year.

Portland show last night was amazing!

CantKeepmedown

I went in with somewhat lowered expectations due to what I've heard about their live shows. I kind of knew the setlist because I had peaked at the previous shows.

I tell you what, they totally blew me away. I thought they sounded great, the Civic Center was rocking. The whole floor was into it. Maybe it was because I managed to get a perfect pre-game buzz and was with about 20 people and we all managed to sit together (something we can never do at PJ shows), but I had a blast. I would definitely see them again.

Psyched to read this, I can't wait until tonight!!!

I've never seen them before.

They are definitely starting to figure the "live" thing out. Of the 4 times Ive seen them, they were by far the best on this tour. They sound great, the energy of the show was high, and they've managed to translate fairly well to arenas (which I was really unsure of). The only thing they need a little work on is the flow of their setlists. In my opinion, the best live bands have setlists that flow really well and at times some of the Keys setlist choices are a little odd.

Is it just The Arctic Monkeys opening up for them or is someone else also?

Show in Portland last night was awesome!! Still wish they played longer and there was a bit of a low in the middle of the set, but the Civic Center/Keys were rocking!!

The key to take away from this article...
A CBS network film crew and a crew filming a feature-length documentary were in tow.
