On Wednesday, The Black Keys wrapped up their 2nd sold out night in a row at Barclays Center in support of their recently released Turn Blue. Cage The Elephant opened the show, but I wasn’t able to get there in time for them, unfortunately (I shot them at Terminal 5 w/ Foals in May however).
The Black Keys have settled into the role of major rock band nicely. They do what they do, quite well. Would I love to hear more cuts from Thickfreakness and Rubber Factory? Sure. But you really can’t complain when they play tracks like “Gold On The Ceiling” as well as they do live, bringing the entire house down with them.
