Letterman always appreciated good rock music. He's definitely a fan of the Black Keys

[@PaulderDreher]

holy shit, thay sound so good live, his voice is so clear like on the record

[@Bushwhacker747]

the black keys are one of the only bands that gives me hope that good, true blues inspired rock and roll hasn't died. thank god or whoever it is for them

[@mingram6]

how can anyone say these guys are not exceptional musicians? they have been putting out some of the best music for years...

[@Cfb8402]

Every Keys performance on letterman was special, and kudos to whoever designed the letterman sound setup because it’s the best TV set one ever. Saw the Keys in 2012 and they were unreal at that time live. I remember thinking about Dan that there’s no way he wasn’t the best rockstar in the world at the moment, because he just couldn’t have been better. And down to earth dudes.

[@spylingual8573]

I think this is one of the greatest songs ever written.

[@whitelotus6230]

obviously no, but a good one though.

[@MijoShrek]

White lotus can kiss my ass and doesn't understand this is Black Keys fans talking up on here. And yes, this song is one of the finest songs that throws it back to the rock era songs made with soul. That just any other genre just doesn't hit that note quite the same. That last minute breakdown and guitar outro is absolute fire.

[@EclecticDiscus]

Nothing like these two guys looking at each other knowing the other guy is Nailing it. Nice job.

[@csrhiatt1]

They're great and they're one of the best bands around and they're genuine.

[@ggthewhale]

Amazing. I'm glad i discovered them

[@Grimking1991]

I fell in love with these guys when i first heard When the lights go out. Amazing song. i have listened to all their album and love them. Brothers came and i was AMAZED. Different sound (like not the same band) but equally as good and equally as soulful. I back these guys no matter what.

[@acoduri5813]

I love how Dan Auerbach always plays unusual guitars. I wonder if he will caught one day with a Strat between his hands !!!

[@pennybeats4435]

A Coduri watch the rig rundown about him... A good amount of the guitars are just from pawn stores and ebay... So cool he doesn't just use brand name guitars

[@ApriliaRacer14]

A Coduri Never.

[@henrijs1499]

Could you please give me the link of where you heard it?

[@kegfoster6021]

i think even if he does its because that classic strat sound or couldn't get it from one of his many badass guitars. much respect to the dude

[@howie3774]

He used a telecaster in the early days, and even a mustang for a short duration

[@MillerxMiles]

Saw them live not two months ago and they were better live than in the studio. He just bursts into solos and does a phenomenal job with jamming during a song along with Pat.

[@jt79]

One of the greatest bands ever!

[@gretschgrenadier]

I love how Dan shifts his feet around like he's gotta pee

[@kilo_victor]

You come from work and you listen to this..and suddenly your mind=blown after hearing this.

[@SYDWARDD]

When I saw them do this song live at a concert and he was actually WHISTILING it just made my life

[@TO-il3vc]

Yep, yep, yep, yep, thats it, thats what we're lookin' for

[@luiscamacho6799]

Jim Morrison You are dead aren't you?

[@Superfuzzfilms]

I love the keys so much, I've been listening to them for quite a while now, it's nice to see them get more popular.

[@el.chappy]

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's it. That's what were looking for." Letterman approved.

[@earthgodd3ss]

Oh my god..how I love the Keys. I have never been so enraptured by a band. Their last two performances in Portland have been out of this world. They are the soundtrack to my life.

[@Gregasaki]

You try locking perfect into a song with that kinda timing as a one off on National late night? What a song! The breakdown at the end is legendary all ready.

[@sambenjamin44]

Guitar and Vocals: Howard from Big Bang Theory Drums: Mclovin Keyboard: Quentin Tarantino Bass: Gavin from Gavin and Stacey

[@boxerval214]

LOL!!

[@brandoncorbitt4635]

[@thegameplayerchannelita1004]

MCLOVIN AHAHQHAHAHAH ALIAS FOGELL

[@fuchsiagrasshopper]

Love how he even does the whistle! Love this band hardcore!

[@mileshead2083]

Guitar is a vintage supro Martinique

[@davidbarnett99]

I'm a big fan, got all the albums, and Brothers is such a powerful and epic climax to their catalog, they are definitely on my top 10 of all time

[@smallpaperplane]

One of the few bands that sounds as good live as they do in the studio. mad as respect for The Black Keys.

[@eriettak4629]

DAN IS ACTUALLY WHISTLING!!!!!!! OMFGGG!!!

[@ryanw1pool]

thanks Bill for getting me on these guys about 6 years ago, look at em now, same with cowboymouth, way ahead of the times man

[@utubedestroysmytime]

Garage rock masters. Good shit. Not overly ambitious but full of emotion and human touch. Also very catchy riffs. They got word the pop format makes millions and cashed in. THAT’S WHAT EVERY MUSICIAN EVER DOES

[@54nick54]

These guys sound great live. Mark of greatness.

[@ryanlikeshiking]

As a drummer, simplicity is king.

[@sfrank7799]

what do you mean they're so successful and globally recognized, rock n roll is ruling the charts :)

[@Elliebellebama]

2018, still love it!!!

[@kingveldeck444]

My God they are better live then on album!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it

[@hardfiled]

Can't help but notice a stark difference between the music, feel and look of the Keys between this vid and the I Got Mine Letterman performance (lol Mountain Man Dan). I will miss the old Black Keys but I crave more of the new. Keep rockin' guys.

[@BillieSebastian]

Nice, there is hope for the modern music world!

[@PedroPalazzo]

Great song! Great performance.

[@elizabethjones3056]

[@ahoytheremate1954]

[@LuisSCastelo]

[@aylenmatthews917]

Que joyita ❤

[@Dividedwestand0221]

they are amazing!

[@randmcnally5572]

People complain about the way they've been in recent years but I, personally dont mind they're evolution.

[@leonascimento2471]

I'm pretty sure tons of people looked at Physical Graffiti and were like "uh, is this really Led Zeppelin?". It's normal.

[@teresaganim6240]

***** No but Robert Plant says he admires this band

[@szpooler]

*their

[@robertpetrea23]

Rand Mcnally if he's a grammar nazi (whatever the fuck that is...since when is being strict about grammar a bad thing? it proves you're not an idiot such as yourself), then you're an illiterate piece of inbred shit :)

[@randmcnally5572]

Robert Petrea Whoa. Relax. It's only the internet.

[@stwohberry]

Goddammit. They still got it! *slow clap*

[@SuperSiiz]

Yep, yep, yep, yep, thats it, thats what we're lookin' for exactly 4 years ago no auto tune. such a pleasant surprise nowadays

[@MrBiPauler]

Awesome Black Keys.

[@TheShadowOfLife14]

now imagine if they were in the 60's, mass hysteria i tell you!

[@djroeable11]

I hope the Black Keys come to Glastonbury this year ! They are the nuts.

[@claudio94347]

Just a great band!!!!!!!!!!

[@technochocolate123]

I never listened to live versions except to judge mediocre performances...until I started listening to The Black Keys. ♥

[@Cristian16rosich]

CARA , eles são os Blues Brothers da vida real !

[@michaelcj5]

I'm digging the suits. I wish I had TV so I could've caught all of their performances lately.

[@theelephantines2128]

[@SpieroMusic]

[@cutevoid_]

***** Independent music ♥ THE BEST

[@SpieroMusic]

vivian bendezu If Black Keys isn't mainstream, then Idk what is.

[@RayyanKhanRayyanKhan]

+vivian bendezu yeah that pisses e off. only introduces new teenage female fangirls obsessing over Alex's hair rather than the bands collaborative music as a whole

[@FizzypopMCR]

This guys are epic!

[@ma16360]

Those guys are good!

[@TheWhitenissan]

i like his dance moves while he plays, nice footwork dan

[@Nouseeker]

i cant fucking believe how good they sound

[@26jennifertaylor]

[@18up1000]

@zero3697 It's a Supro Martinique. Quite a beauty. My dream guitar

[@Jaap95]

[@rich8305]

Just a great, great band as you Americans say "Awesome"!!!!!

[@RocktonRoad]

Best band with a beard. One of the classics without a doubt. There's a killa cinematic version of their lonely boy I uploaded on my page. Killa video too!

[@caffeineadic]

this some sweet sound, classic already. Has an Animals vibe. Doen't matter what music your into - hard to say these guys dont give yo shivers

[@discountaphr0dite]

The suit just makes this video complete

[@VIMrussia]

Black Keys, you are fkin great. will be nice to meet you on concert in Moscow!

The Howard Wollowitz & McLovin Experience. LOL

[@doorbell5]

fan tastic!

[@JustLag]

Dan, i love you

[@Bluesrainbluesrainbow]

💕!!

[@cockywiwam128]

My opinion: THE BLACK KEYS ARE THE BEST BAND EVER!!!!!!!

[@thomasedwardable]

Excellent Tambourine work....

[@tygerstripes3752]

I'm not gonna lie. While I love this song, when I bought my copy of Brothers and saw 'Tighten Up' in the song listings, I was pretty excited about an Archie Bell and Drells cover. And then... the letdown.

[@TheSwali]

they're fukin rockin it!

[@chriskelleher349]

Dave L was good at shaking 👐 hands with the backing group. 👍👍

[@larsjohan1]

"Yep, Yep. That's what we're looking for."

[@NblCH]

awesome moves)

[@wyliexc]

they're loud. i like it.

[@Mr1upul]

Holy shit they sound good live!

[@Pacome.de.Champignac]

sounds like the greatest band ever

[@MrPete0420]

@melchizedekism check out their first album called the big come up its amazing

[@stude444]

Patrick does that same head turn thing I do when I play. =D

[@armstrongbrosband]

I discovered the Black Keys because of the album art on Brothers. "This is an album by The Black Keys. The name of this album is Brothers". Made me laugh. Spell it out for me.

[@8011apache]

exactly 4 years ago no auto tune. such a pleasant surprise nowadays

[@dondanidaniel]

ahhhhh jajajaj yeahhhhhhhh
