2004-09-16 The Black Keys

Recording #42

I followed the Black Keys on their fall 2004 tour for six shows; Omaha, Iowa City, Minneapolis, Madison, Milwaukee and Chicago.

I was there for the soundcheck (see separate blog post for that recording).  I watched Pat and Dan load in and load out.  Their girlfriends were along for this tour and helped sell merch.

I had a moment to chat with Dan before the show.  Here's a little audio clip.  There was a yahoo group on the Black Keys at the time.  This was before they had their own website and had a fan forum on that site.

Here's the audio recording for the Omaha NE show at the Sokol Underground.  Interesting that both Gov't Mule (playing upstairs at the big auditorium) and the Black Keys (playing the Sokol Underground) each covered the Beatles song She Said, She Said that night.
