The Black Keys

In the energetic live recording of 'Yearnin'' at the Beachland Tavern on March 31, 2002, The Black Keys were just beginning to carve out their identity in the music scene. This performance came shortly after the release of their debut album, 'The Big Come Up,' which dropped in 2002 and showcased their raw, gritty blues-rock sound. Interestingly, this was a pivotal time for the duo, as their blend of garage rock and blues began to attract a dedicated following. The Beachland Tavern is a significant venue in Cleveland, where Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney honed their craft in front of intimate crowds. This performance captures the essence of their early days—gritty, passionate, and unapologetically authentic—giving fans a taste of what was to come as they ventured into greater success.
