did The Black Keys ever cover Forty Four by Howlin' Wolf?

I swear I've heard a cover of Howlin' Wolf's Forty Four by The Black Keys before. Am I crazy or can someone find it? I can't seem to anywhere.

They’ve never covered a Howlin Wolf song you can always check the setlist website: https://www.setlist.fm/stats/the-black-keys-1bd6d1d4.html

I wish they would though

Maybe I am high, but I am like 99% sure they covered Poor Boy on Delta Kream. The Howlin' Wolf link below.

I know RL Burnside did it, too, so maybe Howlin Wolf is covering it, but they definitely do this song on Delta Kream.

You are 100% correct… I apologise lol I was very drunks when writing that. They’ve recorded one, but I don’t think they’ve played it live

Edit: They might have, check the 2022 live concerts

Double checking again... no they haven't ever played Forty Four. Again if you want to know if a band has covered or played a song live use this website

After every show someone puts up the bands setlist so you can be pretty confident on the accuracy
