This weekend - from May 15 to May 17 - The Black Keys will offer a free stream of their archival Live at the Crystal Ballroom performance for fans on their official YouTube.
The clip dates back to April 2008 in Portland, Ore. and, according to a statement by drummer Patrick Carney, the venue holds a special place in the band's heart.
“Crystal Ballroom is one of our favorite venues and has been since we first played there opening for Sleater-Kinney in early 2003," he explained via press release. "It was built as a dance hall in the early 20th century and the floor was placed on these rockers so it moves up and down. Quite a cool thing to watch from the stage as the crowd dances around. This concert was filmed by our friend Lance Bangs, who we also met on that Sleater-Kinney tour because he is married to Corin Tucker.”
