The Black Keys

In November 2006, The Black Keys were midway through their rise to prominence, having just released their album 'Magic Potion' earlier that month. This record marked a significant moment in their career, showcasing their raw, blues-infused rock sound that would capture wider audiences. The live performance of 'Just Got to Be' not only highlights their energetic stage presence but also underscores the undeniable chemistry between Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney, which has been a defining element of their music. Interestingly, the band's commitment to a stripped-down, gritty aesthetic was showcased in this performance at Sokol Underground, a smaller venue that allowed for an intimate connection with their audience, a hallmark of their early touring days. Their relentless touring and studio output during this period helped solidify their status in the rock scene, paving the way for their later mainstream success.
