The Black Keys

In April 2012, The Black Keys were riding high on the success of their album 'El Camino,' which had been released just a few months earlier in December 2011. This album marked a significant turning point in their career, showcasing a more polished sound and leading to a broader mainstream recognition. By the time of their live performance at Coachella, The Black Keys had already garnered a Grammy Award for Best Emerging Artist in 2010, adding to their rising profile. Sharing the stage with rock legend John Fogerty to perform 'The Weight' honored the late Levon Helm and further highlighted their connection to roots rock. This moment also underscored the synergy between generations of musicians, as both The Black Keys and Fogerty carried the torch of American rock music into the future, captivating audiences with their raw energy and passionate performances.
