The Black Keys Live Performance of First Song at Seattle Concert

Venue: KeyArena Location: Seattle, Washington, United States Date: May 8, 2012

On May 8, 2012, The Black Keys delivered a high-energy performance at KeyArena in Seattle, a pivotal point in their career. Just a few months prior, in April 2011, they released their massively successful album 'El Camino,' which includes hits like 'Lonely Boy' and 'Gold on the Ceiling.' By the time of this live recording, the band had shifted from a more garage rock-inspired sound to a polished, blues-infused rock that genuinely resonated with audiences everywhere. Fans were obviously excited—many would say the duo had reached the peak of their popularity during this period. Plus, following 'El Camino,' the band won three Grammy Awards in 2013, showcasing their newfound acclaim. So, this Seattle gig wasn't just another show; it was a testament to the explosive growth and artistry of The Black Keys.
