One of the most remarkable shows I have ever been able to view and to top it all off got to see it with Big Bro and Dad. Nobody other than RATM and PJ can put on a great sounding show like these guys. This is not from the show, but hopefully I can find one soon from the show.
The night/afternoon started at a restaurant called the Irish Snug. Dropped a couple Guinness. Then our travels took us to Sanchos Broken Arrow. Its a Greatful Dead bar that we knew dad would love. Good tunes and just good people. Always great to sit at the bar and look at all their stickers.
During our stay at Sanchos we met another poster buddy from Expresso Beans. His name was Dave and he invited us to a little "speak easy". It was a very small room under a cigar shop. Weird vibe in there, but it was cool. Dad stayed upstairs and smoked a cigar or one of his 123 cigs for the day/night and read the paper....ehhhhhh Grandpa Hump style. From there we wondered right next door to the Ogden. No poster for the show which was by far the worst part of the night.
Opener was Jay Reatard and we could have done without him. Black Keys rocked out all of the great songs as well as had a stellar light show going on during the songs. One of my top 5 shows in my life. Hope to see them again as soon as possible. Enjoy.

- "Man, I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off." - Tyler Durden

Good show, but not a Top 5. I'm too old for this kind of stuff, should have stayed at Sancho's all day and night, never got to hear the ten Dead songs I played on the juke box.
Jay Retard was the worst opening band I have ever seen, then the lady next to me spills her beer on my new Sancho's sweat shirt the owner gave me. Bad juju.
maybe bad juju, but awesome memories dad!! I am glad you have eachother to share life with and are willing to go beyond your "limits" to share them....
whoops, that was me again!!! PLEASE DEAR GOD IN HEAVEN GET RICK HIS OWN APPLE!!
PJ aside...that was on par with MMJ (see my blog from Feb 2007) for sure, and maybe just a hair better. It's been 2 weeks since the show and I can't get over it...hopefully I never will. Soul..
