The Black Keys‘ No Rain No Flowers Tour arrived in Los Angeles on Tuesday. The concert at the Greek Theater saw the rockers dusting off “Too Afraid to Love You” for the first time in 10 years.

The Black Keys — guitarist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney — kicked off the concert with a medley of oldies beginning with the title track to their 2003 LP Thickfreakness followed by a pair of cuts, “The Breaks” and “I’ll Be Your Man,” off their 2002 debut album, The Big Come Up.
