The Black Keys

On March 31, 2002, The Black Keys performed live at the Beachland Tavern in Cleveland, a moment that marked their early years, just as their debut album, "The Big Come Up," was gaining traction. Released in 2002, this album showcased their raw blues-infused rock sound, setting the stage for their distinctive style that would later garner widespread acclaim. Interestingly, this tight-knit duo, consisting of Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney, recorded much of their early music in Carney's basement, epitomizing that DIY ethos. Their energetic performance of "Them Eyes" captures the grit and authenticity that fans love. It’s fascinating to think about how this performance was only the beginning of their journey, as they would go on to become a defining force in modern rock.
