Review: The Black Keys Concert
4 stars
The Black Keys stopped at Bankers Life Fieldhouse on March 16 to promote their most recent album, “El Camino.” Opening for the band was the Arctic Monkeys, a well-known British alternative group. Although the sound was overpowering at times, with the music louder than the vocals, the Arctic Monkeys gave the audience a very well done show. The Black Keys performed most of their recent hits from “Brothers” and “El Camino,” but also played many of their older songs, which newer fans may not have recognized, from albums “Rubber Factory” and “Attack and Release.”
In the spectacular encore performance, two giant disco balls dropped while the band played “Everlasting Light,” the opening track from “Brothers.” Some of the main songs performed during the concert were “Lonely Boy,” “Gold on the Ceiling” and “Tighten Up.” Overall, regardless of the poor sound quality in Bankers Life Fieldhouse, the concert made for a fantastic experience for both new and old fans of the Black Keys and Arctic Monkeys.
