John Fogerty with the Black Keys @ Coachella 2012
"...a special appearance from John Fogerty, making his Coachella debut (he's already co-headlined a night at Stagecoach). The Creedence Clearwater Revival legend, who played Woodstock alongside the Band back in '69, joined Dan & Pat for the day's second touching tribute to the late Levon Helm, with a warm and appreciative handling of "The Weight." Fogerty handled the final verse, Rick Danko's bit about Crazy Chester and Jack his dog; Auerbach called Helm, a crucial figure for roots-rock, "amazing and inspiring."Refused weren't the only ones paying tribute to Levon Helm at Coachella Friday (4/20). Watch the video of Fogerty covering "The Weight" with the Black Keys, below...I had foolishly walked away to write this while listening to Explosions in the Sky at the Outdoor Theatre, which still smells like a 10-acre pot farm on fire well after that momentarily mesmerizing band left the stage. Things suddenly got quiet over here, I glanced to the right (thanks to a texted tip from faithful reader April McBride) and instantly caught the "take a load off, Annie" refrain ... then went SPRINTING back to the main.
It was SO worth the charley horse I have now. As was the Black Keys' finish, a ripping chant-along for "Lonely Boy" and another scorching finish with "I Got Mine." [OC Register]

Come on Fogerty- you're better than that. The Black Keys are terrible, and douchebags to boot.

What a great Tribute..

They could have played a less predictable song.

Fogerty is such a tremendous overall musician, and he writes such entertaining songs...I still love "Put me in Coach" whenever I hear it...

It's "take a load of Fanny", not "Annie"
Posted by Anonymous | April 22, 2012 4:42 PM
Actually it is "take a load off fanny". Not load of
Or Annie
Sad that even today idiots still think he is saying annie
Posted by Anonymous | April 22, 2012 5:34 PM
really?... Fanny?... what about the verse that says, "Hey Luke my friend, what about young Anna Lee?"... it think she is the Annie told to take a load off.
Posted by anon | April 26, 2012 4:13 PM
but later it says: Get back to Miss Fanny, you know she's the only one. So i think the Fanny argument wins... sorry sucka!
