Some asshole with a cigar stood right in front of Dan.  Dan commented (complained) a couple times about the smoke, but this thick headed preppy fuck (as I remember) didn't have a clue.

Recording #48

The Black Keys at the High Noon Saloon in Madison WI Sep 22, 2004.  I had seen several shows already on this fall tour, and now I was following them to Madison, Milwaukee, and Chicago.

I saw Pat and Dan before the show outside the club.  I had a few of the posters from the night before in Minneapolis, and asked them to sign them for me.  They were personalized to myself and a couple friends.  We chatted for a bit, and I asked them about the videotaping ban they recently posted on their website.  Someone had been selling the New Year's Eve show.  I asked them about my shooting video for that night, and they said as long as it was for my own use, it would be fine.

I got into the club during the soundcheck.  Pat came and sat with me during the check for the Cuts.  He would drink coffee before the shows.  A couple nights later, in Chicago, we went to a coffee shop down the street before their show and also shopped at a used record store.  Pat and Dan were always friendly.  During these early years, it wasn't uncommon to see them greet fans and give autographs.

2004-09-21 The Black Keys

Recording #46

The Black Keys played the 7th Street Entry less than a year earlier and now were moving up to the big room at First Ave.

Someone I met through the black keys website forum joined me at the show.  We attended many of the same shows the next few years, and he had a habit of chatting during the music (and my recordings).  He went batshit crazy a few years ago, so I don't see him anymore.

I met lots and lots of great people through trading live recordings, the black keys forums, and music in general.  This was the time of myspace, and that was a terrific place for a music fan.  One fellow music lover sent me this patch.

There was a poster for sale at this show and I bought a few copies.  I kept one and sent a couple others to friends.  I met up with Pat and Dan in Madison WI the next day and had them sign them.  This was the first show poster I purchased.  There have been many more since.

2004-09-19 The Black Keys

Recording #44

I followed the Black Keys on their fall 2004 tour for six shows; Omaha, Iowa City, Minneapolis, Madison, Milwaukee and Chicago.  There was a show in Missouri between the Omaha and Iowa City dates, but that was just a little too much for my schedule.  I could fit the Omaha show into my business travels, and then I motorcycled down to Iowa City for the one night.  As I recall, I got a speeding ticket on my way south.

I went straight to the club after the five hour motorcycle ride, and Pat and Dan were finishing their sound check.  I sat at the back of the club and Dan came and chatted for a bit.  My recorder was running, and here's a bit of the conversation.

For some reason, I only got video for the first half hour of the show.
