    It was about an hour and 45 mins. Came on around 915 and finished right around 11. Around 20 songs.

    Very tight setlist. Went from one song to the next without much talking. Very different than Jack White who rambled endlessly on god knows what (sound was terrible at auditorium theater). Both great shows but Black Keys was all about the music

    Yeah, Dan didn't have much to say up on stage. Still an entertaining show. Weird to me that they played pretty much the same exact set 2 nights in a row. Maybe I'm spoiled by PJ, but I just don't get how other bands play the same songs in the same order every night..

    I'd say about 75% of bands playing arenas play the same exact set every night or change just 1 or 2 songs. Most need to because there show is highly produced and have videos to go with the music.

    Oh yeah, I know that. It's just crazy to me....I wonder if those type of bands get bored playing the same exact show night after night...
