this is by far the best audio i 've heard in a unprofessional one camera live concert recording, steady hands too... nice job man

[@bimongolhunshd]

Patricks facial expression when he drums is priceless. He is really jamming. And dont get me started on how amazing Dan is. This man can sing and play

[@supernintendochalmers6628]

bimongolhunshd he really can... But, unfortunately the audio for this sounds very pre-recorded. Notice how the 'vocal' track gets lowered when he forgets to approach the mic (yet, you can still hear him singing?) And why do I get the feeling like the producer added 'feedback' to sell the "live" guitar playing. It sounds like he's trying to compensate for the vocal's being faked... The drumming is legit, but the guitar and vocals are pre-recorded on separate tracks ...Id bet money on it.

@@supernintendochalmers6628 paranoid much? Lol Looked legit to me

[@supernintendochalmers6628]

@@znmcg haha! you're probably right. the Black Keys are no joke when it comes to performing.

[@_Ike]

​@@supernintendochalmers6628I guarantee nothing here is pre-recorded. Not only is that not at all how they play, but Pat couldn't keep that kind of fixed tempo while playing live to save his life 😂😂

[@BelalC]

such an underrated track

[@jakeeverything3915]

One of their best, and this version is evil.

[@dollabill188]

The entire Rubber Factory album is totally underrated, definitely my favorite

[@scotchmist_]

⁠absolutely. before delta kream this was #1

[@bungalalang6370]

Damn, i miss the old black keys 😥

[@raurey]

This was shot with a Canon 7D. thanks for watching!

[@DeDerpDerp]

If i was this close to The Black Keys...my head would explode from the pure talent exuding from the stage.

[@LanceRocks82]

I saw them at their first live show in France, back in 2004: very small room, perhaps 40 (forty!) people in the audience, I was literally standing 1m in front on them (noobdy in France knew who they were back then...).... Saw them again this week in Paris, with a 3,000 people audience : still an excellent concert, but not the same feeling... I would give my left nut to relive again that mind-blowing show in 2004, just once ;-)

[@GunslingerDog]

This is one of the best Black Keys videos, in the whole of youtube. It really captures the feel of the keys, and the shots of patrick is just amazing

[@AngoleiroMega]

Harmony Stratotone H47. My god... Epic !

[@jacksonpage1580]

Raúl Rodríguez His H78 is pretty badass, too.

[@bluestogreen1693]

Howlin wolf's guitar right?

[@Rave779]

This has seriously got to be the best performance of Dan’s I’ve ever seen.

[@brianmarek9090]

local Akron boys, all grown up and tearing sh*t up. I love this performance one of their better live songs in my opinion

[@paulmathias1908]

I agree totally, what an awesome track!!!

[@HappyAppart]

Feeling "just a little heat" at 3:07 :D

[@lwlakksjd]

man, those drums are sick!

[@Elliebellebama]

+fluorescent adolescent I Agree, and I see you must share my love for the Arctic Monkeys, So Elmo, I bet you look good on the dance floor! :D

[@lwlakksjd]

haha thanks

[@jake180289]

Tinny sound, grey overcast, banging performance: Seems to me like Jimi Hendrix performing Star Spangled Banner at Woodstock.

[@paulmathias1908]

Sill what an awesome number, brilliant!!

[@michaelcaswell7901]

favourite song, and its played on my birthday. Happy Days

[@jakeeverything3915]

Taught a lesson in African American folklore and post Civil War US history using this. Had students use basic elements of characters, objects (hat, gun), and result (Stack kills him but escapes justice), and politics (Dems and Reps). They loved it. And they got it. Fascinating piece of culture, and BK owned it.

[@jasonarsenault3791]

How am I only finding this now!

[@Tontongs]

Comment ne pas aimer les Black Keys après ça ...

[@jaimewong7]

get back on time with this music

[@jake180289]

You're a genius. I went to see them at Ali Pali in London and it changed my life

[@Sunfan11]

it's hard to believe they are just 2 man bend... they are amaizing

[@sdixonwork]

amazing! this is one of the best bands ever!!!!

[@jodysoldman]

I saw so many of their early tours when all he played was the same old Tele - now, he's got some cash, and he's got a supremely nice collection, and who could blame him

[@SirGeorge8600]

Sorry sir, that opinion was long ago. I now have still been going to black keys concerts and am still a massive supporter of them!

[@raurey]

@87CsBruno Thanks! Glad you liked the footage. Yeah, I had a press pass to photograph my friends the Ryan Montbleau Band, who played right before the Keys so I figured I'd stick around and get some of these guys as well since I'm a fan.

[@mrsSukiJones]

Oh and i loove the dark clouds in the background. Very Bluesy

[@roooocknrolla]

Awesome ! Great Quality !

[@87CsBruno]

@raurey Thanks for posting! Fantastic footage!

[@123must]

Beautiful ! Thanks

[@SweetSweetInterpol]

Love this video.....

[@ericamc73]

Love this so much it hurts ;)

[@bustedup]

Excellent camera work! You get that First-row-feeling =)

[@andrewarden]

@87Csbruno it's a 1950's harmony stratotone that he's added 2 p90s to and a bigsby.

[@XXn1927]

and it's a funny connection too, cause in Tarantino's movie Death Proof, there's a song called Staggolee which is about the very same two people from history

[@danscp1990]

keep billys memory alive!!

[@raurey]

Thanks everyone for all the comments. I've added links to a few more clips and a photo gallery from the show above. please check them out!

[@AdamFreeman13]

Wow, great footage man. Keep up the good work! This really captures the feelings of a Black Keys concert, like the man said ^.

[@mileshead2083]

@isabellasl His guitar is a Harmony Stratotone H-47 Mercury modded with Lindy Fralin P90s and a Bigsby.

[@mrsSukiJones]

They are so goooood

[@ravingdave20]

Nice video man, thanks for uploading . Much appreciated!!

[@SadSadToaster]

OMG that Stratotone...

[@SirGeorge8600]

GUYS my comment was a JOKE. I've been listening to the keys since 2002. Sure I sort of miss the good ol' days when there were fewer people in the crowds, but I am VERY proud of their success.

[@marcbergeron445]

Freaking good song!! ❤️🔥🤘😎🔥❤️

[@zirconencrustedtweezers]

excellent...

[@JewBoots]

Good lord, that guitar is gorgeous.

[@Sally123456ification]

[@evygil]

NICE!

[@CaWFly]

Friggin Awesome

[@johnybaker9878]

we had such amazing cameras back in 2010? where went all that 7 years dude?

[@karawest3786]

Fuckin bad ass! Blues rock n roll at its finest

[@kimr2352]

Pure fucking fire

[@josemellado7811]

I saw them live this sunday in México City. They didn't play this one =/ Still awesome though

[@pennydesouza]

Wow, you're right...

[@Jacksonblake26]

great footage man!

[@TheWayIRage]

This is soo cool with the snow feature of youtube ^.^

[@andrecosta9311]

Thank you for the answer :)

[@spicyMcHAGGIS9green]

Don't forget your neighbors to the north, Michigan. We gave you The White Stripes.

[@sporkinat0r]

took you guys long enough

[@SSPspaz]

I can agree with that.

[@keeffan49]

Imagine the Black Keys and Billy Gibbons playin' the blues. That would be awesome.

[@rodneyz9798]

It happened lol

[@SquidPartyGames]

Dan's technical ability has never been in doubt in my mind.

[@raurey]

@xSkyMachinex It was shot with a Canon 7D and a 28-135mm lens. Thanks for watching!

[@michaelchang1]

great video

[@tommysts1920]

great

[@seeusound]

Simplement incroyable

[@lpoxton]

I can't take my eyes off Dan when he plays

[@dfelixpt]

Excelent video quality... for seconds i thought it was recorded from tv or something..

[@SSPspaz]

As a multi-instrumentalist, I agree with you. Guitar involves the coordination of two limbs while drumming involves the coordination of all four. When I started drumming I had serious issues with limb separation (for you guitarists, that is drummer talk for using all limbs doing different tasks simultaneously) Plus, EVERYONE knows when you mess up drumming. With guitar, mistakes can be written off as "improvisation". Why else is there such a shortage of drummers yet an abundance of guitarists?

[@Charleypassy]

@Rodrigo Arriagada It's a Harmony Stratatone

[@Jed844]

open g tuning, so the high e is tuned a whole step down and the b is normal. he's fingerpicking the high e and the b strings together. the high e is always played open, and you're moving up and down on the b string. from there it's just figuring out the parts by ear. mostly just whole and half steps here's the first phrase the 0-0-0-0-0---0-0-0---- 1/3-3/6-6---6/8/10--

[@kcasey1901]

How is it I only recently heard of these guys?

[@DazedAndConfused1974]

Fuck yeah! Rubber Factory is the shit!

[@gracepfeil624]

Gaaaaah I can't take my face of Patrick's face WITH OUT HIS GLASSES. WHAAAATTT?

[@rightsaidfred803]

Smooth and mild...

[@mrdrewski38]

if you guys were wondering its open g tuning can post lesson if you guys want just message me if you want one.

[@hanselmora1]

oh i love that guitar! was jimi hendrix first guitar!

[@PashminaAfgan]

dan be gettin dressed up!

[@drewussery7493]

Great backstory to this song. Check KZbin for other Stagger Lee and Stackolee versions, and wiki Stagger Lee.

[@mcneeson]

so awesome at 1.25 speed

[@63chicago6]

This was in 2010, they were hugely popular in 2010...

[@k1ng_arthurrr]

yeah she sounds really awesome "harmony stratotone H47" cheers

[@Nighttwolfe]

The quality of this video is amazing!! What was used to film this?

[@henrithomas8333]

Harmony Stratotone!

[@UFO29]

The classic blues story: Lee (Stagger Lee, Stack) shoots Billy in the stomach after Billy swipes the hat from his head during a drunken argument. Billy dies, Stack is sentenced and dies in prison. Tragic, pointless.... But it makes for some awesome guitar riff fuel. Goosebumps!

[@rockhater]

anyone have a tab of the intro he plays before the actual song?

[@guilhermecarvalho6536]

I would totally sell my soul to the devil to play guitar like Dan

[@Zealotux]

Stack Shot Billy is actually quite easy to learn, and a lot of fun, give it a try!

[@spacecowboy6242]

Ok boomer, better go to sleep

[@719vol]

@@Zealotux sure, until you realize it’s a cover of Stack O’Lee(sic) by R.L. Burnside. Who shames these guys with ability.

[@BrazosP]

So how is Dan playing the intro? I can't find this tabbed anywhere.... I guess I should be able to figure it out but alas mine still doesn't sound right.

[@who27moon]

beautiful intro man,

[@MaxHodgson]

@oatmealisawesome99 Harmony Stratotone. Not sure exactly which model though.

[@RIPdBOON]

He's playing a Harmony. Vintage from the 60's 70's? Theirs a video on here of Dan's setup.

[@JonWilliamEden]

When are these guys next on tour? I really want to see them live

[@billytrax9312]

The Driving Pistons of Fuck Yeah Bitches

[@ISL9811]

What kind of guitar is Dan playing?? Like the make and the model??

[@shortyshortcakes]

pat looks good in red

[@dynasticmatt95]

Where's Ohio at! Right fucking HERE, and WE brought TALENT!

[@sebbirk]

Does anyone know name of the guitar Dan is playing?
