The Black Keys played the Bank of America Pavilion in Boston over the weekend, and the Boston Globe called the show "a searingly superb 85-minute set." In his review, Jonathan Perry describes the band's style as a "sizzling fusion of hill-country blues and indie-rock attitude." The Boston Herald, too, complimented the show: "In the best of ways, The Black Keys can make a multimillion-dollar venue sound like a dive-bar stage." The video for "Tighten Up" has been nominated for Best Breakthrough Video at MTV's Video Music Awards.
