The Black Crowes Bring Out John Fogerty, Cover Led Zeppelin With Slash During FireAid Benefit Concert

On Thursday (Jan. 30) night, The Black Crowes joined an all-star lineup of rock, pop, R&B, soul, country and hip-hop luminaries with the aim of raising money for those in need following the devastating wildfires that ripped through Los Angeles earlier this month. Befitting a city as sprawling and expansive as Los Angeles, the FireAid LA Benefit Concert encompassed two venues, with performances taking place at Intuit Dome and the Kia Forum.

The Black Crowes hit the stage at the latter venue, rocking through their 1992 hit “Remedy” for an enthusiastic audience. After that crowd-pleaser, Chris Robinson and Co. brought out two iconic California rockers.

First up: John Fogerty, who joined them to perform one of the best-loved hits of his old band, Creedence Clearwater Revival. “This song has a rainbow in it and it’s just for you,” said Fogerty, who was backed by the Crowes and his son Shane Fogerty on “Have You Ever Seen the Rain?”. The audience sang-along with the chorus, swaying back and forth to the beloved ‘60s classic.

After that, the recently reunited Atlanta rockers brought out a Los Angeles-specific rock icon – Slash. The hard rock axman traded in his electric guitar for an acoustic guitar, strumming along with the Black Crowes’ Rich Robinson on an affecting cover of Led Zeppelin’s “Going to California.”

The Black Crowes’ mini-set followed performances by Joni Mitchell, Anderson .Paak, Dr. Dre, Green Day, Billie Eilish, Earth, Wind & Fire, Alanis Morissette and many more. Proceeds from the FireAid LA Benefit Concert go toward rebuilding efforts in Los Angeles and aid to displaced families.
