gotta love a band that sounds just as good live as they do in the studio

[@DarrellWingerak]

It is amazingly rare that a live band can do what these guys do in the studio, on stage.

[@LieutenantSarcasm26]

damn i can honestly say that this is one of the most badass songs today. he has an awesome voice and it leaves me feeling a little bit more epic everytime after I finish listening to it.

Howard Wolowitz,Quentin Tarantino,Jeff Goldblum and Ramsey Bolton are a hell of a band!

[@zackb917]

wolf870626 one of the most random collection of names I've ever seen in my life

[@PedroFaria]

Did you mean Howard Wolowitz, Jimmie Dimmick, David Levinson and Ramsey Bolton?

[@theonlyrealjohn2110]

Are you trying to say Patrick Carney looks like Goldblum? Because clearly he's Robert Carradine if he's anyone.

[@reltihfloda2175]

Funny thing is that Howard Wolowitz(Simon Helberg) and Dan Auerbach are jewish, maybe that's why they look alike.

It's not dying because we don't love it. It's dying because the music industry is a controlled part of media entertainment, and rock and roll isn't what they choose to push to the kids these days. It's all BS.

[@ronburgandy79]

This song is so ridiculously good. I've listened to it SO many times and it still amazes me.

[@elijahaguirre7725]

My favorite part is nearing the end when they slow down the beat

[@peterluck6123]

They dont realy slow down in fact , they just change the guitar work a little bit, but youre right its the best part of the song

[@peterluck6123]

Elijah Aguirre i have listen to it again and maybe you are right, they slow down a little bit, its almost nothing, but yeah they slow down, even on the studio version it is the same, i didnt notice it before

[@LinusComedy]

I have an earworm since 3 days from that !

GOD, when the song breaks down at the end i literally can't stop myself from rocking out. these guys are awesome

[@chraosta]

My boi the drummer looks like he’s about to be late to an important Microsoft business meeting...

[@jackoff1826]

He was. He's now a Kirby vacuum salesman.

[@Staylogical]

These guys are seriously good.And their heart seems to be in the right place.

[@RSLweblog]

Black Keys played one of my favorite sets at SxSW this year. Definitely one of the best live bands in the US right now. Brothers is a SICK album - probably my favorite new LP of 2010. It's right there with The Big Come Up.

[@matthewbeach2952]

Holy shit Dan has some amazing control over his voice.

[@NatralSelection]

Letterman really liked it - he doesn't always react that way to a musical guest and you can tell they earned his respect just by his attitude.... Legit.

[@93Bigbrown]

Can't believe I shook hands with these two! FUKIN AWESOME I GOT TO MEET THEM!

[@HonestTries]

Damn, I love the way he plays that guitar. Such fervent passion!

[@johnnycsp]

Perfect , just like the studio version . These guys have style , and charisma , reminds The Beatles, not only because the Ludwig drums , the Dan's guitar stripe , and Dan n' Patrick clothes n boots , but the energy in stage , playin with passion , enjoyin the moment !!! This is the best band that i 've seen latey. I'm drooling !!!

[@BillieSebastian]

People still make good music today, It might be a little hard to find but it's out there! Rock on Black Keys! \m/

Ive been randomly whistling this for years and finally realized where I got it.

[@LionelFraser-t2p]

Got to be one of the best you rarely hear in the UK

[@Kriskazam]

Oh my gosh they're amazing live, Auerbach's vocals live are just on spot :O

[@gloria88246]

I still love them❤❤ one of my favorites is Sinister kid 💯💯💯

[@db6040]

Carney is a decent drummer with tons of love for the music and it shows. He's not trying to be the next Pert just trying to do the music justice.

[@teosbellows7367]

Pert? Have you ever heard Niel Pert Shuffle, neither have I.

[@clos24]

Everyone always expects everyone to be the greatest ever like if you arent the greatest you suck. Its annoying hes a good drummer and that's that.

[@RyaVe79]

Well I mean just like Ringo, sit in the music don’t take it over. Unless the music calls for it.

[@roncoghlan8196]

You can't fake passion. Carney's got passion.

[@lazyitus]

how could anyone dislike these guys? they are undeniable ! ! !

excellent drummer

[@noobsmoke34]

[@colorxeffect]

I believe this performance should be a bench mark for all current day live performers

[@EDeeire]

Fuck these guys could really bring a soulful yet dirty gritty sound.

[@soularcity8996]

The keyboard addition is deep

[@Elizabethx15]

Letterman the only one who had The Black keys on late night?

[@adkinneyam]

Conan. A few of those performances are on here.

[@EmptySky75]

I saw them at the Ed Sullivan Theater for their second Letterman appearance and prior to that I had never heard of them..and ever since I saw them live I will always be a fan. They are fantastic!

[@henriquelopes6873]

I saw them 2 days ago in Lisbon. I stood 9 hours on my feet, And it rained all day, but damn!, it was the best hours of my life. And when a saw them comming in, I almost cry. I was right in front of them. Love for The Black Keys. Peace Out

[@ÑEZ0688]

My fav Black Keys song on Letterman is still I Got Mine, amazing performance

[@hockeytaint22]

They sound 100% better live than on the album

[@Carlonchoblazers]

It's not about sounding better... it's just about being (slight) different, but as good as they are in the studio as they are alive!

[@wjanoch]

First rate and top notch. Black Keys rock. Plain and simple.

[@MiNiMiCkY37]

"Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thats it. Thats what were looking for!" lmao

0:15 Dan Auerbach totally looks like Howard from Big Bang theory...

[@c4662]

the black keys one of those bands that give today's music hope that i could be revived

[@SpookyApparition]

Why does Patrick Carney always look like he's just picked up sticks for the first time?

[@twiggidy]

Like he literally just learned a 2/4 beat yesterday. Also, if you watch other performances on they do on Letterman, Dave always messes with Carney at the end. It's hilarious.

[@ForObviousReason]

The Black Keys have been my favorite band for several years now, but there's no denying that Patrick is the Ringo of drumming in our generation...

[@leacristina821]

I'm glad someone else can see that. They're such a good band but a bad drummer

[@bc5133]

Pat grooves his ass off! He has his own style and feel, and he comes up with parts nobody else would have... He isn’t a technician and that’s one of the things I love about him.

[@steventasker235]

[@pasiramo3103]

[@chipthetormentor]

I will always love the black keys no matter what. I got to enjoy their laid back style since 04 but now its a new decade, a new Black Keys. Popular culture is ready for them now, and when I'm and old man. I can brag to my children how I heard The Black Keys for the first time live and have seen them over 10 different times.

[@junebuggy000]

Letterman : hello, hello. Beautiful drums, are these yours? Patrick: No . Letterman : Those are nice, fail.

[@vaderorder66]

i like theyre change better. suits, blues with a jazzy twist. its elegant yet raw. i love it. when i hear this song i think of a smoky blues/jazz club.

[@dc44indy]

IMO these guys are much better than jack white, but Dan's more detached stage presence has made them less popular. He gets into the music but he doesn't really engage the audience so he doesn't get the attention white does despite being his equal musically and a better songwriter. Just my opinion.

[@JosephSchocker]

You're opinion is irrelevant. How strange it is that Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Jimmy Page, Keith Richards, Dave Grohl and countless other legendary rock elders seem to regard Jack White as one of the most significant musical artists of our time. Bizarre, eh..?

[@dc44indy]

It's true my opinion means nothing. It's also true Jack is a better guitarist and more befitting of a generational act. I just like the Black Keys more.

[@goretaku3641]

Joseph Schocker Jack White has been in the music scene longer, so he has received that level of recognition from such big names. I believe the Black Keys will receive just as much, if not more, praise once they've been musically exposed to the public for a longer period of time

[@JosephSchocker]

Jordan LeGore. That's exactly what I'm thinking also

[@dc44indy]

Jordan LeGore That's what I'm hoping.

[@raghera]

I am seeing them for the 3rd time live tonight and am so excited. Last time was so great I will I bought tickets to see them every day they are here!
