this looks like a blast!

any pics from the trey show?

knew I should have seen them when they were at the TLA

they killed last night!

the sound was excellent too

hey may have played it during one song but most the show it was in a rack on the side of the stage

holy shit. hands down the best show i have seen all summer and top 5 all time. seriously. they absolutely killed it. sooo much energy. the crowd was into it. the weather was perfect. the sound was great. a nice long set. mix of old and new and some AMAZING changeups. at one point it almost sounded like they were laying techno - very cool effet. phew. what a show

"the sound was excellent too"

Where were you? I was in the back and the sound was awful. Love the band, and they were great. A lot of fun, but the ring from the kick drum was drowning out so many things ...

Beautiful night and great songs/performance.

....THE SHOW WAS FUCKING AMAZING!!!!....AAAAAHHHHHH...

Did anyone else think that Tapes n' Tapes suuuuucked. I was hoping for more. Black Keys were definitely awesome

yes. tapes n tapes sucked. if only because they were blown out of the fuckin water by black keys. just shows how big a divide is between those two bands talentwise.

I am absolutely amazed this didnt sell out. or did it eventually sell out? it was pretty packed by the time the keys went on.

The TLA show ended up being moved to the Electric Factory or the Troc. ::shivers::

...yeah and Tapes N Tapes sucked something fierce...

How were Love as Laughter?

awesome photos!

tapes n tapes put me to sleep, hang them all

Muir giving Bao a run for his money here. Some great shots.

i thought tapes n tapes were great. i was very pleasantly surprised.
black keys did kill it.

"Where were you? I was in the back and the sound was awful. Love the band, and they were great. A lot of fun, but the ring from the kick drum was drowning out so many things"

WRONG. the sound was fucking perfect. get there earlier.

sweet photos dude

Anyone know the house music they were playing right before the black keys were about to play?

Yeah, that house music before the Keys was great too. Like a lot of old school Funk and Soul. But Ive been searching for it from the lyrics I can remember, go nuffin so far.

I know there was a Stooges song in there too.

i am no where near from where these pictures came from, nor am i anywhere near seeing The Black Keys again, but couldn't NOT somehow mention how fantastic these pictures are.

these guys are fucking awesome they've definately left a mark on my musical taste every album never fails to impress me

Really wish I got to go. Looked like a fun show - great shot. Hope 2 see one of your shows soon.

i wish i went!! i was planning to but i couldnt find anyone to go with. it sounds like it was suchh a great show. a regret i soon wont forget

What time did this show start? Sounds great.

Typical dumbass comment. Glad I already got to talk to someone about else about it. I was standing where I wanted to be and got there when I wanted to.

Black Keys kicked ass. Sound at the pool, ya never know.

this show was fucking awesome. they didn't dick around, they came to play. thats what they did. its amazing that much sound comes from 2 guys.

Patrick killed the drums and Dan shredded the guitar. enough said.

ps: the earlier you get to the pool, the better the show will be.

tapes n tapes wasnt great. love is laughter was pretty good.

the Keys absolutely killed it

I was at this show, they are amazing. Incredible pics!

it's best to try to get there earlier and stand near the center, so the sound won't sound too bad. it was great though, the sound.

they are playin opposite beck next week at outside lands in sf. which one will be better? i've seen beck 6 times, never black keys.

wow just love these pics, nice link of Dan playung the Firebird, he only played the SG on this one and other guitar wich i didnt recognize...great show!

Look, I love these guys as much as anybody and I'm sure the concert was as great as any of the several Keys concerts that I've been to, but the "Rave Review" from the New York Times was anything but a rave review. I'm a little disappointed that the Keys would call it that -- there's a reason why they couldn't use any complete sentences from the article in their quotes. They soundbited the thing worse than politicians. Again, they are one of my favorite bands, but let's not gloat about rave reviews that we didn't get. I saw them in Pittsburgh shortly after this show and I'm sorry to say that I agree with most of the Times' review.
