The Black Keys

In April 2008, The Black Keys were riding high on their breakthrough album, 'Magic Potion,' which had been released the previous year. This live performance at the Crystal Ballroom in Portland captured their raw energy and blues-infused rock sound just as they were gaining a wider audience. It’s fascinating to think that while they were still considered somewhat of an underground act, fans were already buzzing about this Ohio duo's gritty guitar riffs and soulful vocals. They were known for their vivid performances, and this particular show was broadcasted via Lightning 100, symbolizing the growing recognition they were receiving on the airwaves. The Black Keys' performance of 'You're the One' showcases their signature blend of rock and blues, foreshadowing their meteoric rise to iconic status in the years that followed.
