The Black Keys

In September 2004, The Black Keys were on the rise, showcasing their raw blues-rock charm. Just before this live performance of 'Busted' at The Mason Jar in Phoenix, they released their album 'Rubber Factory' in 2003. This album was pivotal for them, as it marked a significant moment in their career, solidifying their unique sound and establishing a loyal fanbase. The live recording captures the gritty energy that fans came to adore, amplifying the band's garage-rock vibe. At this time, they were still developing their identity, but you could feel the intensity and passion in their performance, foreshadowing their future success. Interestingly, 'Rubber Factory' was recorded in an old tire factory, adding an authentic layer to their music that resonated well with the audience. With this raw, unfiltered energy, their performance perfectly encapsulated the spirit of the early 2000s rock revival.
