The Black Keys' Debut Live Version Of GO From Rehearsals In Nashville, Via Rolling Stone

This morning, The Black Keys debut a live version of "Go," the second single off their ninth studio album "Let's Rock," (Easy Eye Sound/Nonesuch Records), via Rolling Stone. For the performance they are joined by their touring band, Andrew Gabbard and Delicate Steve on guitar, and Zachary Gabbard on bass. The video, taped at a recent rehearsal in front of a small audience made up of members of the band's fan club, provides a behind-the-scenes look and a preview of their upcoming "Let's Rock" tour, which kicks off on September 23 at Denver's Pepsi Center.

The band also recently released the trailer for their parody "MasterCourse" via Funny or Die, where they provide secrets of their success and songwriting craft, as well as inspiration for some of their songs. In the video, directed by Bryan Schlam, Patrick Carney says, "After this course you'll be able to write music like the pros," and Dan Auerbach adds, "Unless you're not naturally gifted like us, then we can't really help you." Watch the trailer for The Black Keys' "MasterCourse" here.
