The Black Keys Perform Little Black Submarines Live at Outside Lands 2015
In 2015, The Black Keys were riding high on the success of their album 'Turn Blue,' released in May of that year. This album marked a significant point in their evolution, featuring a more polished sound and introspective lyrics compared to their earlier work. The live recording of 'Little Black Submarines' at Outside Lands captures a moment when the duo was solidifying their place in rock history, blending bluesy roots with broader appeal. The performance stands out not only for its raw energy but also for how it showcases their growth as artists, melding intimate moments with grand performances. Interestingly, 'Little Black Submarines' itself features contrasting styles; the song starts softly before exploding into a full-on rock anthem, making it a perfect fit for a live setting.
