The Black Keys

On October 5, 2008, The Black Keys delivered an electrifying performance at the Disco Rodeo in Raleigh, NC, showcasing their raw blues-rock energy. This live recording comes shortly after the release of their fifth studio album, 'Attack & Release,' which dropped in April that year. It marked a pivotal moment for the duo, as they began collaborating with producer Danger Mouse, leading to a more polished sound. Fans were captivated by their tight arrangements and Dan Auerbach's captivating guitar work, which perfectly highlighted their gritty yet soulful style. Interestingly, 'Thickfreakness,' the album from which this live performance gets its name, was released in 2003, known for its straightforward rock vibe and powerful riffs. This era was truly transformative for the band, setting the stage for their explosion into the mainstream.
