Plot Summary
The Black Keys' new concert DVD, Live at the Crystal Ballroom, reflects the no-frills genius of the drums-and-guitar duo's studio sound: It's a refreshingly straightforward video document of their April 4, 2008 sold-out gig at Portland, Oregon's Crystal Ballroom, featuring seventeen songs culled from all five of the pair's albums. Director Lance Bangs - who has made videos for the Arcade Fire, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Sonic Youth as well as directing R.E.M.'s Road Movie - keeps his small camera crew focused on the stage, getting up close and sweaty with guitarist-singer Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney. Occasionally, he'll pull back to acknowledge the head-bobbing crowd pressed close to the stage, their hands reaching out to Auerbach. There are no visual pyrotechnics, no elaborate editing, no backstage cutaways, yet the show is riveting from start to finish and the feel of the music in that room is nothing less than triumphant.

don't buy this if you like your balls and face not melted
Excellent!
I was concerned about the audio quality when I purchased this concert but I lucked out because it sounds fantastic. It's a good show - no frills, just rock. I highly recommend this to anyone that is a fan of music.
Awesome!
Dan Auerbach has one of the most soulful voices of any rocker in this generation. The power that he generates with Patrick on the drums creates a one hour show that just flat out rocks. No matter if you buy or rent this, plug in some head phones and turn it up and be prepared to get blown away. It's that good! Enjoy!
