The Black Keys Live Performance of Busted Intro from Wellmont Theater
On February 8, 2009, The Black Keys were riding the wave of their critically acclaimed album 'Attack & Release,' which had been released just ten months prior. This live recording at the Wellmont Theater in Montclair, NJ, showcases their raw energy and blues-infused rock sound during a time when they were steadily gaining momentum in the music scene. 'Attack & Release' was notable for its production work by Danger Mouse, propelling the duo into new sonic territories with intricate layers and broader musical palettes. The performance, especially the intro to 'Busted,' highlights their unique dynamic and relentless commitment to delivering authentic, electrifying live shows. This marked a pivotal moment in their career, as they went on to become a prominent force in modern rock.
