Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The six tracks of Tour Rehearsal Tapes underscore the explosive musical chemistry between guitarist Dan Auerbach and drummer Pat Carney that made last February's shows such joyously exhilarating affairs.
Auerbach's guitar riffs are stripped to the bone, while Carney is a massive engine driving sporty little riffs, whether it's the lollopy Glitterband swagger of “Gold on the Ceiling”, or the Can groove inflated to stadium size for “Tighten Up”.
But he instinctively lets up enough to allow his partner's voice room on “Dead and Gone” and “Lonely Boy”. Rawer and more feral than their El Camino studio selves, the Keys here display a ruthless combination of punch and stridency currently unparalleled in the live arena.
