The Black Keys spent the beginning of last week in New York City, where they played for more than 60,000 people at a massive outdoor concert in Central Park with Neil Young and Foo Fighters. Saturday evening, they ended the week at L.A.’s Staples Center, rounding out a two-night stand sandwiched between similar engagements by Justin Bieber and Madonna.
