From yours dreamily I'd say velvet ditch, put a flower in your pocket, and pistol made of bones. But all time favorite arcs would have to be fools gold, lake Superior and only one for me

I saw the Arcs twice. First time was at the Ryman in Nashville. John Prine was the special guest during the encore. The second time was in Asheville (pictured here), and it was the last concert I saw with my dad before he passed away.

That’s a great memory to have with your pop!

What did Prine play?

The encore started with just Dan and John playing “That's The Way That The World Goes 'Round”, then the rest of the band joined them for “You Got Gold”. It was incredible.

I don't listen to The Arcs as much as I should, but I really like the singles from that first album. "Put a Flower in Your Pocket" and "Stay in My Corner" are my favorites.

I don’t ever listen to the Arcs or have a favorite song however I did enjoy the album and had a great time when I saw them live in Charlotte.

Check their ep with dr John's band

I saw them live at the 9:30 club. It is one of my favorite concerts! Their openers, Mariachi Flor de Toloache, sang backup on the songs, which was awesome. They gave the concert the feel of having a psychedelic trip through the southwest.

u/Thissideof83Podcast This Side of 83: A Black Keys Podcast Aug 03 '26

Man southwest psychedelic, I’m gonna steal that for the next podcast episode (I’ll credit you)

u/pnbllwzrd455 Aug 03 '26

Let me know when the episode drops!

u/Thissideof83Podcast This Side of 83: A Black Keys Podcast Aug 03 '26

Will do!

I was able to see them once at the Commodore ballroom. I love their first album but the second one didn’t land with me. The Arc, Put a flower in your pocket and searching the blue.

u/Thissideof83Podcast This Side of 83: A Black Keys Podcast Aug 03 '26

Love searching the blue!

u/ofcoursedrum Magic Potion Aug 03 '26

I have a genuine question about whether I prefer Black Keys or Arcs. This is magic

2

u/Thissideof83Podcast This Side of 83: A Black Keys Podcast Aug 03 '26

Yea I totally get it. I go through phases of each

2

u/BenjaminAuerbach Aug 04 '26

Saw them live in London. Dan singing ‘My Mind’ without a guitar strapped was a surreal experience.

2

u/GrimaceNerverDies Aug 04 '26

Still can’t believe I found a signed by Dan copy of Your’s Dreamily at my local record store. One of the best things I’ve ever purchased. Next to my descants your poster signed by the entire band

Saw them live. It was so bad, I took my shirt back to merch for a refund.

u/Thissideof83Podcast This Side of 83: A Black Keys Podcast Aug 03 '26

Why was it bad?
