2007-06-28 The Black Keys

Recording #267

The Black Keys did a tour sponsored by Camel Cigarettes (RJR Tobacco).  The venue listed the show, but we had no idea how to get tickets.  It turned out to be a free show, and you had to get there early to get a ticket.  A friend and I got there in the early afternoon and were first in line.  We got our tickets and then worked our way into the club before the show to hear the sound check.

Dan came and chatted with us a for a couple minutes after the sound check.  We reminded him of his comments to us from their last tour thorugh MN when he said "they'll never have the big tour bus".  Here he was with a huge production traveling with several buses.  The tobacco people had tons of signage they were putting all through the club.  The put up a special smoking lounge out back of the club and had extra deluxe toilets brought in for the lounge.  There was a staff of about 10 handling video and sound production.  I don't know what they did with their recordings, but I've never seen any released.  Free cigarettes were being handed out.

One of the tobacco reps had a handfull of after show passes.  We got some and went to the meet and greet after the show and got a free cd.  Pat and Dan were signing them and we were able to chat a little more.
