"We've been coming here a long time, and always like it."
Dan Auerbach said that about Minneapolis near the end of the Black Keys' Target Center set Tuesday, a reminder that these guys didn't just land their first local arena show overnight -- not like, say, Foster the People, who have enjoyed 10 times the radio play but will be lucky to have half the crowd when they play there next month. As I said in my feature previewing the concert, sometimes the good bands do win. As is spelled out in the full review of tonight's show, this was a solidly triumphant showing. Here are the set lists:
THE BLACK KEYS: Howlin' for You / Next Girl / Run Right Back / Same Old Thing / Dead and Gone / Gold on the Ceiling / Thickfreakness (this one and next three songs played as a duo) / Girl Is On My Mind / I'll Be Your Man / Your Touch / Little Black Submarines / Money Maker / Strange Times / Nova Baby / Ten Cent Pistol / Tighten Up / Lonely Boy ENCORE: Everlasting Light / She's Long Gone / I Got Mine (also as a duo)
THE ARCTIC MONKEYS: Brianstorm / This House Is a Circus / Still Take You Home / Library Pictures/ Don't Sit Down 'Cause I've Moved Your Chair / The View From the Afternoon / I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor / Pretty Visitors / Do Me a Favour / Teddy Picker / Crying Lightning / That's Where You're Wrong / Fluorescent Adolescent / Evil Twin / Brick by Brick / R U Mine?
