The black keys playing for future cyber truck owners 😂

I was in the audience with my mom when the stage collapsed. It was completely surreal. The sky minutes before it happened was completely black, it was just verging on very scary, but nobody was prepared for what happened. Everything was so eerily silent afterwards. Thank you for covering this. What a senseless tragedy.

Thomas Cain

The black keys shade has me dying lol 😆

Clark Tyrrell

Swindled has made me question my safety in so many different places

Leah Young

acc coming out with a clutch episode and shading the black keys at the same time, 5 stars

Joanna

Acc, the shade of the BK is killing me. I would love to know what music you are down with. I saw the keys with 3 people in 2002 and it was cool. But man did you peg them now lol.

Josh Acton

RIP BK. We will pour out a little bit of Becky's fruity wine in remembrance of you. We'll all get your lyrics tattooed on our shoulder blades next to Brayden's footprints and DOB

Rai

black keys catching strays god damn. tbf I haven't listened is 15 years, sad to hear they've fallen into a rut.

Mr. Clark

And I thought Mosh Pits were brutal, holy shit.

Katie Butler

I will never not giggle at your Black Keys jabs.

Rachel

Damn, anyone got some aloe for BK to apply to those burns?? Yeowch.

Cas Thibeau

This was horrific. I had no clue this even happened 😳 Also the black keys 😆

Alan

Another one of those places we don't even think twice about entering. Hearing that people didn't want to move because they waited all day, on one hand I get it, but on the other, is that spot worth your life? Just in time for summer. Great job, ACC and deformr!

I am so sorry you experienced such an awful tragedy. Glad you and your mom were safe. ❤️

Lex

😆 Emma from Tennessee’s 🎵 duh duh duh 🎶 at the end is my fav. Better than anything BK have produced.

Once again, greedy corporate America is seen in this telling remark starting at 35:59: “Because of an inclement weather clause in the contract, the [Indiana State] Fair was on the hook to pay Sugarland at least $335,000 whether they played or not. Fair Officials have denied that any financial implications were considered regarding the decision not to delay the show.” Uh huh. Rrriiigghhhtt. Did anyone really believe that? 🙄

Michelle Hebert

ACC, I thought this statement at 19:42 was curious: "Onlookers jumped into action, helping mothers look for daughters and wives look for lovers." Was taken rather aback by the last clause. I expected to hear "wives look for husbands," but no. Were these women having affairs???

I never heard of them before but after ACC dissed them so thoroughly, I just HAVE TO play them on YouTube.

Cynthia Gonzalez

Nailed it with that description of The Black Keys 😂

Jane Blackbird

I was at a Fleetwood Mac outdoor concert in FL mid 1970’s when a wind driven storm rolled in and collapsed the roof of the stage. Those of us on the field were dodging flying lawn chairs and coolers til it passed. Band was ok and came back out and finished the show. Saw many fans with cuts and bruises but all had smiles on their face. And here we are decades later having learned nothing. Great episode ACC!

Allison.Actually

Wasn’t that “moment of silence” by Sugarland six days after the tragedy really more like 20 seconds before their music kicked in??

Emily P

Damn, ACC, what did the black keys do to you? 😆

You probably have heard them before, you just didn't notice. Shopping background music.

You might also consider doing an episode on Love Parade '09. Another preventable tragedy caused by poor planning and ignoring warnings.

Kaitlin

The part about the 3 year old got to me :(

I assumed it was a song lyric by one of the aforementioned bands because otherwise it was an odd turn of phrase

With an increase in severity of weather and frequency of severe weather it's good things have changed.

Allison2750

Who knew Sugarland were such douchebags.

Aislinn Hargadon

The audio on this was… intense 😅 1000 / 100 for the Black Keys slags. Made me laugh out loud. PS Black Keys are awful in person. Only live band I’ve actively walked away from on more than one occasion at a music festival.

janaxwildlife

The Black Keys slams were 💯 lolol

TJ Tiong

The part about Black Keys made me laugh and slightly annoyed 🤣. I do enjoy Black Keys, thou I haven't heard them live.

Katelyn Muniz

I love the Black Keys, but I thought the jokes were funny. If he came for Death Cab, though 👎

Kate Toy

man nothing gets me more worked up than extremely preventable deaths. if you ever do an astroworld fest episode i’ll probably end up losing sleep. the station nightclub episode still infuriates me (pls astroworld fest and not the amusement park, i grew up in houston and if there are astroworld scandals i want to remain ignorant)

You know how sometimed you just don't like someone you have never actually met? Something about Jennifer Nettles always irritated me. I guess my subconscious was picking up on her shittiness.

>>140881031

given that two of the victims were women in same-gender relationships, including one civil partnership, i just assumed they were trying to acknowledge that wives can also have wives!

If there had been fatalities, it would have gotten a great deal of attention. And since back then Congress actually had more people who cared about public safety than not, an investigation would have been made into the matter, laws might have been passed to prevent such tragedies, and quite possibly, ACC could have done this episode on something else.

Shelby Halley

Oh man what did the Black Keys do? 🤣🤣🤣
