While I point out to few lulls in the full review of Friday's Black Keys concert – the organ-dulled rocker "Nova Baby" and overblown blowout "Too Afraid to Love You" also could've been mentioned – my least favorite song in the set was actually the cover of Edwyn Collins' '60s-flavored 1994 hit "A Girl Like You." Their version sounded formulaic and way too retro-cheeky, like they were pitching it for a new "Austin Powers" movie. To have that song instead of, say, "10 A.M. Automatic" or "Thickfreakness" was downright insulting to those of us who've been with the band since they were playing across the street at 7th Street Entry.
Still, there was plenty of old and new fans to dig into during the show. Here's the full set list, and young Mr. Bugg's list as well. For reasons we couldn't quite figure out, Bugg's handlers did not allow photographers to shoot during his performance. Maybe he had a bad zit or something?
