Brad Paisley surprised the audience at Tuesday night’s (April 12) Grand Ole Opry, welcoming friend John Fogerty for the music legend’s Opry debut.

After performing three of his own hits, Paisley introduced the crowd to the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, saying to the audience, “We’re going to play some music and you’re going to know these songs, so sing along.” The crowd did just that, joining Paisley and Fogerty first on the Creedence Clearwater Revival anthem “Lookin’ Out My Back Door,” then on Fogerty’s 1985 hit, “Centerfield.”

“I do want to tell you what an honor it is to be standing here,” Fogerty said between songs, to which Paisley assured him, “The honor is ours.”

Called back for an encore, Paisley (a Grand Ole Opry member since 2001) laughed when asking Fogerty, “Do you know any more songs?” The pair then ended the night by receiving a standing ovation for their performance of “Proud Mary.”
