@@alansmith7626 If he said that then that's the dumbest thing i've heard about playing guitar. I"ve been playing for 40+ years , most great slide players are also good not playing slide.
Whenever they play this song, the sun sets gently just below the horizon, a light fog rolls in on a cool breeze, a crescent moon sets everything aglow in silver-blue. Then angels gather around and hover overhead just to rest awhile and listen. It's Midnight in Harlem. ua-cam.com/video/6GkdCiqsFUI/v-deo.html
The obvious connection is Bonnie Raitt but I do want to mention that Angel of Montgomery was written by John Prine, without whom, folk and blues would be very different today.
They’re the direct “descendants” of the Allman Brothers Band! I saw Derek perform in London, Ontario when he was a “tween” and he was awesome way back then! They’re the best live band touring today! Peace
@@JohnConley-o8m I believe it was called Kiplings (?). I had a friend who was one of 3 or 4 co-owners who tipped me off to that show! I ended up owning/operating a London blues club called The Other Side of Five, in the late 90’s, early 2000’s! Peace
@@cherrypickerguitars OH, awesome. I was a bartender at Old Chicago's for a bit, so know Doug V, LMT connection and the bunch. I'm in Toronto now. Get to London once in a while to visit family and friends.
I was going to say something like "ya learn summin' new every day" or " wow, really?" but these two folks ahead of me obviously are very knowledgeable fans. Good on ya! ❤👍✌️
2 guitars, bass, key board, 2 drummers, flute, trumpet, sax, trombone, and 3 backup singers that are sometimes lead singers, percussionist, and guitarist. Love TTB!
Derek is the home of the soul of Duane Allman. Duane is considered to be the Godfather of the electric slide guitar. His untimely death at 24 years old, left a void in the guitar universe. I believe that soul wandered looking for a home to continue on with and I believe Derek became that home. Derek plays the way Duane would have had he lived. Derek has been playing on stage since he was 10. By 13 he was a regular featured slide player for The ABB. B.B. King called him the best he's heard. He and Susan met and for a longtime tried to make room for each other in their hectic touring lives. Finally, they decided the only way they could date is if they got married. They also decided that they would join their two bands together and tour. They told their respective bands they were welcome to join together with them and make one big band. Some members chose to move in a different direction knowing the door was always open to them to come back. They still have that policy and from time to time old members like JJ Johanson (Jaimoe) has come back a couple of times. He was one of the founding members of The ABB. Today he is the last of the original band still living. Derek's Uncle Butch was also an original member of ABB as a drummer. Susan has the best Blues voice out there. She also is a very good Blues guitarist and has a solo or two each concert set.
Sebs TTB Are simply the best touring band out there bar none , you have already had great advice from many . 2022 privileged to see them live in a small intimate theatre and close up seats . Every single musician exceptional but Derek simply has to be mentioned . Absolutely made my jaw drop listening to him , and made me giggle like a teenager not believing quite what I was witnessing … Sebs when you go discover Derek your jaw will drop too at his playing …PHENOMENAL ❤❤❤ And man yes indeed go discover Midnight in Harlem ..
Ha! I had the exact same reaction the first time seeing them live. The whipped out “Keep On Growing” and all I could do was giggle at how awesome it was. I was stone cold sober….well maybe a little weed😉
You are in for the ride of your life with these guys! He is probably the most talented guitarist currently playing. She's an amazing soulful singer. Midnight in Harlem, Anyhow, Soul Sweet Song....don't stop reacting to these guys.
I loved Susan and Derek as solo artists - even more so since they got together. Another vote for 'Hurts so Bad' and 'Midnight in Harlem'. As a parent, you should listen to 'Lord Protect My Child', but only if you don't mind possibly crying on camera...
My son took me to my first TTB concert for my birthday 3 years ago. We had front row center seats. Got to meet the band after the show. Susan was very sweet and I have several pictures with them. Great group of musicians and great people. I've seen them 3 more times, but the 1st time was one of the best experiences I've ever had.
I first met Susan back in 1998 when I booked her for a blues festival. Everyone there that day knew they were seeing a future star. It’s been wonderful to watch her spectacular career, and see her perform with her band at large arenas.
Just so ya' know. Kofi Burbridge passed a little over 5 years ago. TDB is a VERY Deep Dive. They have songs and performances that are going to blow your mind. You might wanna' look up when Sue shared the stage with the late Sharon Jones. And if Nirvana is your chosen destination? Herbie Hancock's Space Captain (a cover) featuring Tedeschi Trucks is your Huckleberry 😉
I had the great good fortune to see them at the Beacon not long before Kofi passed. Steve Earle opened for them. Amazing night! It was gut wrenching to hear of Kofi the following February.
You should check out their "Tiny Desk Concert" - amazing! Susan Tedeschi (pronounced teh-DES-ski) has such a soulful blues voice, and Derek Trucks was a child guitar prodigy that played legendary guitar for the Alman Bros Band and Eric Clapton, then he and his wife formed their own band and tour around making sweet, sweet music together!
Tedeschi Trucks band is, hands down, the best live show out there right now. the musicianship up and down the lineup is 2nd to none. Obviously everyone is raving about Midnight in Harlem, but the song "Anyhow" Live in Studio is right up there with anything else they've done.
I’m here because it’s fun to watch anyone react to songs or artists that I enjoy for the first time and see if their reaction compares to my first time. Love your channel. Thanks.
Susan DOES an amazing version of Joe Cocker's The Letter." Also check out "Midnight in Harlem" which is a beautiful song. They are awesome!! Derek Trucks is the nephew of drummer Butch Trucks of the Allman Brothers Band. Derek was a child prodigy who began playing with the Allman Brothers when he was very young.
I remember seeing DT when he was 13 years old with his first touring band(I think) THE POST OFFICE AUGUSTA Georgia He had on an Atlanta Braves Cap and walked out on stage with his guitar and a can if coke. Then, he proceeded to rip the walls down in that place. Slide guitar from a 13 year old prodigy blew a few Georgians away that night.
I saw him play guitar at Fat Matt’s Rib Shack in Atlanta. He was a kid. I didn’t know his legacy but I told him to stick with it that he’ll be great. He graciously just thanked me.
This is great. Angel has long been (rightfully) considered a Bonnie Raitt song - one of her best. But Susan gives it due respect and the linking with Sugaree kicks it up a notch. 2 Tedeschi Trucks recommendations that really show off Susan's talent: Let Me Get By and The Sky is Crying (usually considered a SRV song). The whole band is sooo tight and talented. Derek is the nephew of the original Allman Bros drummer and was a guitar prodigy from a very young age. He maintained his connection to the Allman Bros before joining forces with Susan for TTB. Seeing them live is to experience an entire auditorium captivated. BTW - the flute player was Kofi Burbridge who did keyboards as well as the flute. He has sadly passed away and is sorely missed.
Derek is easily in my first handful of favorite guitarists. He played with the Allman Bros. for a number of years. You might want to check out one of those. I was blessed to have seen him with his solo band in the late 90's and again with Susan just two years ago. When I attended that concert, my health had deteriorated so badly that my youngest son had to practically carry me through the venue and it has since worsened so much that it will have been the last concert I attend. But again blessed to have had this! So glad you enjoyed. Hope you do more. Truth is, I have a crush on both of them!!
Saw Tedeschi-Trucks live at Red Rocks in July 2022. Unreal, absolutely blown away! As intense as Derek feels it, Susan can follow him with absolute effortlessness. Bonnie Raite retired when she heard Susan. Brilliant band. Check out Gravity from their performance in Morrison, Colorado (Red Rocks) in July 2022.
Derek is the nephew of the drummer from The Allman Brothers Band. That should tell you all you need to know if you’ve ever heard the Allman Brothers band. See any version of the Allman Brothers whipping Post if you question that.
Where have you been?!?! Susan put our her first album in 1998 and Derek has been blowing people away since he was a pre-teen! Just saw them again in Austin, TX last summer. Sooooo great in concert!
Susan and the band were touring in Ireland a while ago and on their off nights she would take an acoustic guitar and hit the local pubs and sing with the pub patrons. Derek Trucks is one of the best slide guitarists on Earth.
Just one of a dozen legendary Southern Rock bands from JAX, Fl . I have watched Derek since he was 11 yo on stage with the Allman Brothers in Tampa, Fl. In 82’ it’s in his blood !
They live in Jacksonville Fl and have played many times at various venues here in town and I will be honest I have never seen them. I know they are a very good band. I saw Derek when he was younger with the Allman Brothers at the Florida Theater.
Bonnie Raitt’s on Tour NOW. Tickets for her New Orleans show already in hand. 🤘 Check out that live performance by The Tedeshi Trucks Band of “Midnight In Harlem” from Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Festival. It’s the finest version by a mile…. Also for a treat, Susan and husband Derek are guest performers for Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones’ reworked version of, “When The Levee Breaks.” It was produced for the charitable music organization called, “Playing For Change.” Derek and Susan put their considerable talents on full display…. ✨
I've not heard a lot of their music, but what I've heard is top notch for what they do. I actually didn't know this was the song you were playing... NICE!!!! Very nice play!
Uh , best touring Band on circuit today...and uh they are not a new Band, ..can't type the discography of Derek Trucks...fell in love with Susan , on her own solo career in 90s . married, and during Pandemic, kept their band together, recorded 27 songs at their home, released I AM THE MOON, in four parts......best damn band on the planet....if they come near your area..run to aee ! TTB, Thanks for June 14th, 2024, in Tulsa. ❤
I'm watching this cause I like to see how people look when something so powerful hits thim in their ears. PS her name is pronounced Ted-ESS-ski. It's an Italian name- she's from Boston.
Derek Trucks was a member of the Allman Brothers in recent years.I saw him play in the 80's when he was about 10 years old.He was playing on the Crab Pot beachside deck with Leon Wilkeson and Artimus Pyle who were members of Lynyrd Skynyrd.He was amazing even at that age,His uncle Butch Trucks was a founding member of The Allman Brothers Band
The flute solo is the thing that stood out to me when I first heard it. I had been a fan of the band for sometimes before that, so I was well aware of how amazing Susan and Derek were. Watch the Live on Etown version of Midnight in Harlem if you want to be completely blown away. comes in at exactly 8:00.
Incidentally , Susan is a fine blues guitar player in her own right. Fender recently introduced a Susan Tedeschi signature Telecaster. It's based on Susan's early 1990s Tele, which is covered with autographs from music greats.
I really do like your reaction videos! Born '54 I'm happy for you discovering great, old (well not in this case) music and bringin' it on to people of your generation. you dig the feeling and spirit of the music which is lovely to watch. ... and when it comes to TTB, check the comments and do go down that rabbithole. thank you, Sebs and best wishes to you
Watch you react to many songs from my past.Never heard this band or song.Wanted to hear something for the first time with you.Thank you brother and God bless you and your family.😎🇺🇸
My friend, you have a LOT to look forward to!! Wait til you get a good dose of horns!! TTB is absolutely one of the hottest bands in the land, with a big catalog, including tons of original material as well as great covers like the entire Layla album, the entire Mad Dogs and Englishmen album (Joe Cocker), and of course many Allman Brothers tunes since Derek did about 15 years as a member! RIP Kofi, miss you brother! Kofi Burbridge was the brother of Oteil who played in the Derek Trucks Band, Aquarium Rescue Unit, TTB, and The Allman Brothers Band. He’s currently the bass player for Dead and Company. Lots of dots to connect here, with tons of modern music history!
We see them at least once a year. Our adult kids usually go along making them our favorite family concert to see together. Kofe Burbridge, the keyboardist and flautist, unfortunately passed a few years back, devasting the band. His brother used to play with the band too. They are multi-instrumentalists. Their dad made Kofe play the flute when he was growing up but Kofe really wanted to play the piano and eventually mastered that as well. Incredibly talented loss. The band as a whole is an incredible live band to see.
Greatness! It’s in the blood. Derek Trucks’ uncle Butch was one of The Allman Brothers duo of original drummers along with Jaimoe. ♥️♥️♥️ And you’re saying it right. You should check out Susan accompanying Eric Church on his Mixed Drinks About Feelings.
Here's a little story. I went out one evening in 1987 in Columbia, SC. A guy asked me if I came to hear the phenom kid guitar player from Jacksonville playing that night. Told him no I didn't know anything about him and wasn't staying long. The 9 year old kid phenom turned out to be Derek Trucks. Of course accompanied by his adult circle.
I heard their song "Made Up Mind" on my local radio station in 2013. That's how I found them. Their genre doesn't lead them to the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart. That's why you haven't heard of them. Great vocals and guitars!!
Derek is the greatest guitarist alive. He has been great since he was a little kid. Every time I haven't listened to him in a while a and i hear him again end up listening to Derek Trucks for hours.
In 2007 two seperate groups toured together, Derek Trucks Band and and Susan Tedeschi's band.The tour was called the Derek Trucks & Susan Tedeschi's Soul Stew Revival. It took time, but the couple merged romantically and professionally, touring together as the new Tedeschi Trucks Band in April of 2010. Thier first record, Revelator was released in 2011 and won a Grammy award for best blues album. The rest, as they say, is R&R history. Just a few of many must-listen suggestions: Midnight in Harlem, Bound For Glory, Anyhow, and Darlin Be Home Soon. They did a wonderful cover of Etta James classic I'd Rather Go Blind at the White House for President Obama and Michelle in 2012 that is worthy of a watch and listen. Also, I just love some of Susan's solo stuff, pre TTB, such as It Hurt So Bad and Rock Me Right. Thanks for reacting, nice rabbit hole to jump into.
I watch these videos that you post just to see your face your amazement because I know about all these bands but it's always good to see something in case I may have missed it
Midnight In Harlem is a song that, once heard, will haunt you forever - it can't be unheard! I can't wait for you to review that one, Sebs! Also, this band has the most talented backing singers!
Susan and Derek were part of Eric Clapton’s Crossroads events. To celebrate every one of the guitarists greats they could, it included some were 3 day events. Crossroads were held every 3 years in football stadiums and lastly Madison Square Gardens. In 2004, 2007, 2010, and 2013 were the ones I saw on TV. He continues to have them in various venues.
I used to listen to a lot of TD Trucks like 8-10 yr ago but lost track of them (will look them up online) Susan's incredible voice is how I discovered them and I want to RE discover TD Trucks again.
Sebs, love your commentary during your explorations. I’m an old country and blues guy with a little old school 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s rock. Several of the guys I played with back in high school went on to make their living playing with blues, country and jazz stars of the 70’s, wish I had half of their talent and abilities. Sold my old horn ten years ago to a dude that was looking to replace the same brand glad it’s gone to a much better set of chops playing around the NOLA music scene.
And also check out Dereck and Susan in Playing for Change's video of Led Zeppelin's "When the Levee Breaks". You'll find lots of other wonderful musicians and singers in that video too. That's where I first encountered Tedeschi Trucks Band.
I showed up one random day because you appeared on my feed reacting to one of my favorite songs. I clicked because you remind me of my son. I stayed and keep coming back because watching your reactions to music makes my heart happy. Some great women Blues singers to add to your collection (I can give you a ton...) KoKo Taylor, Deborah Coleman, Ruthie Foster, Samantha Fish, Shamika Copeland, Sue Foley, Beth Hart, Janiva Magness, Ana Popovic... gonna cut it there because I could be here all day...
Saw them the other night and they never disappoint ❤ they preform like bands did years ago. The jam and are such great musicians. So tight! Best concert out there now!👌🏻
I used to live in Jacksonville Beach. Derek played everywhere,getting his chops and mileage...we knew he would be the 2nd coming of Duane....and more. Check out Derek, Doyle Bramhall, and ERIC CLAPTON with...Stevie Wynwood...at Crossroads Guitar Fest doing the immortal " Can't Find My Way Home".
I just watched your review of Chicago 25 or 6 to 4 and was thinking you would really like TTB when UA-cam (in the infinite wisdom of their algorithm) suggested this. Your review of both were great so I subbed. I just got back to Dallas from TBB's September 1 concert in New Hampshire. It was almost three hours of non-stop great music and the best concert I have attended. There are 12 band members and all of them are world class musicians in my opinion. They are unbelievably tight. As someone said, every member of the band got an opportunity to shine with a solo. All of the comments below that they are currently the best touring band is not exaggeration. It is also not an exaggeration to say that Derek Trucks is the best living slide guitarist. This is one band that you should go down the rabbit hole with because of their large catalog of great music. I won't give you suggestions because other commentors have already provided a good list. But most importantly, you really need to see them live.
Midnight in Harlem is something you'll just have to watch because you have never seen a slide player like Derek . He's simply the best !
And Bound for Glory at Atlanta with Derrick playing Duane's Gold Top.
I Agree! I remember Sebs saying he didn't like slide playing, called it lazy, lol...I thought of Skydog and Derek! Might change his mind!
@@alansmith7626 If he said that then that's the dumbest thing i've heard about playing guitar. I"ve been playing for 40+ years , most great slide players are also good not playing slide.

Glad that you threw this out there. Someone he should be aware of if he isn't already.
Absolutely
Truth!
I didn’t realize until I saw you check her Wikipedia page, but Susan Tedeschi’s birthday is just one day after Bonnie Raitt’s! 🤷♀️💝
John Prine was America's best story teller!
They’re the direct “descendants” of the Allman Brothers Band! I saw Derek perform in London, Ontario when he was a “tween” and he was awesome way back then!
They’re the best live band touring today!
Peace
Me too bro! Was it part of Derek and the Dominators? I think the show was a McGinnis Landing or something like that. He was like 10 or something.
@@JohnConley-o8m I believe it was called Kiplings (?). I had a friend who was one of 3 or 4 co-owners who tipped me off to that show! I ended up owning/operating a London blues club called The Other Side of Five, in the late 90’s, early 2000’s!

Up there with Tommy Emmanuel and Billy Strings
@@alimac1469my other two favorites!
Tommy Emmanuel is bliss!
34 year old guitar player and I agree.
It does not matter how long it took you to find them, what matters is you found them!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are GREAT!!!! ❤

Derek's uncle was the drummer for The Allman Brothers Band .
Butch Trucks
ONE of the drummers, actually.

Open minds are receptive to all good music....This band moves my soul. Best touring band going. Can't wait to see them again in Nov. In New Orleans.
I remember seeing DT when he was 13 years old with his first touring band(I think)
THE POST OFFICE
AUGUSTA Georgia
He had on an Atlanta Braves Cap and walked out on stage with his guitar and a can if coke.
Then, he proceeded to rip the walls down in that place.

Last show I went to, Gabe was actually billed as an opener and played his own set
This is great. Angel has long been (rightfully) considered a Bonnie Raitt song - one of her best. But Susan gives it due respect and the linking with Sugaree kicks it up a notch.

Angel from Montgomery is in fact a John Prine song, most widely known from Bonnie Raitt’s impeccable interpretation. Susan’s is possibly even better……

So happy you have discovered them. I found them about 2 years ago and said, where have they been all my life?
She’s one of my favorite artists! Just love to listen to her🐝🤗❤️
Glad you finally found them now if you jump down that rabbit hole (as you should) you’re going to be pleasantly lost.
They live in Jacksonville Fl and have played many times at various venues here in town and I will be honest I have never seen them. I know they are a very good band. I saw Derek when he was younger with the Allman Brothers at the Florida Theater.
This is a song they do when they wanna take a break. It barely scratches the surface of the magic of this band.
I came here just to see you face when Derek played
Bonnie Raitt’s on Tour NOW. Tickets for her New Orleans show already in hand. 🤘 Check out that live performance by The Tedeshi Trucks Band of “Midnight In Harlem” from Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Festival. It’s the finest version by a mile…. Also for a treat, Susan and husband Derek are guest performers for Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones’ reworked version of, “When The Levee Breaks.” It was produced for the charitable music organization called, “Playing For Change.” Derek and Susan put their considerable talents on full display…. ✨
I have seen them 12 times!! One of my favorite bands, they are simply incredible. Please check out more!
Derek was a child prodigy who had his own band at age 9. His Uncle Butch Trucks was a drummer and one of the founding members of The Allman Brothers.
I love the short cover of the Dead. Derek is flat out the best slide guitarist out there, & has been for a long time. ✌️❤️🎶
I went to high school with Mikey Mattison... brilliant vocalist who hooked up with really really really right people! Love this band!
I've not heard a lot of their music, but what I've heard is top notch for what they do. I actually didn't know this was the song you were playing... NICE!!!! Very nice play!
Uh , best touring Band on circuit today...and uh they are not a new Band, ..can't type the discography of Derek Trucks...fell in love with Susan , on her own solo career in 90s . married, and during Pandemic, kept their band together, recorded 27 songs at their home, released I AM THE MOON, in four parts......best damn band on the planet....if they come near your area..run to aee !
TTB, Thanks for June 14th, 2024, in Tulsa. ❤
I'm watching this cause I like to see how people look when something so powerful hits thim in their ears. PS her name is pronounced Ted-ESS-ski. It's an Italian name- she's from Boston.
Derek Trucks was a member of the Allman Brothers in recent years.I saw him play in the 80's when he was about 10 years old.He was playing on the Crab Pot beachside deck with Leon Wilkeson and Artimus Pyle who were members of Lynyrd Skynyrd.He was amazing even at that age,His uncle Butch Trucks was a founding member of The Allman Brothers Band
Maybe the best touring band alive, absolutely incredible live
The flute solo is the thing that stood out to me when I first heard it. I had been a fan of the band for sometimes before that, so I was well aware of how amazing Susan and Derek were.
Watch the Live on Etown version of Midnight in Harlem if you want to be completely blown away. comes in at exactly 8:00.
At last. Finally. A reaction to Trucks Tedeschi. Yes. Awesome. More please.
They're on tour now and will be here in Chattanooga Nov 4, hope to make it. Well done as usual Sebs!
May I recommend Until You Remember at the O2 & Gravity at Red Rocks 😎
Incidentally , Susan is a fine blues guitar player in her own right. Fender recently introduced a Susan Tedeschi signature Telecaster. It's based on Susan's early 1990s Tele, which is covered with autographs from music greats.
Should have come with stickers 😊
I really do like your reaction videos! Born '54 I'm happy for you discovering great, old (well not in this case) music and bringin' it on to people of your generation. you dig the feeling and spirit of the music which is lovely to watch. ... and when it comes to TTB, check the comments and do go down that rabbithole. thank you, Sebs and best wishes to you
Watch you react to many songs from my past.Never heard this band or song.Wanted to hear something for the first time with you.Thank you brother and God bless you and your family.😎🇺🇸
My friend, you have a LOT to look forward to!! Wait til you get a good dose of horns!! TTB is absolutely one of the hottest bands in the land, with a big catalog, including tons of original material as well as great covers like the entire Layla album, the entire Mad Dogs and Englishmen album (Joe Cocker), and of course many Allman Brothers tunes since Derek did about 15 years as a member! RIP Kofi, miss you brother! Kofi Burbridge was the brother of Oteil who played in the Derek Trucks Band, Aquarium Rescue Unit, TTB, and The Allman Brothers Band. He’s currently the bass player for Dead and Company. Lots of dots to connect here, with tons of modern music history!
I can only imagine that it’s a really heavy rock that you’ve been living under, “homie”. 😂
Learning slide guitar yrs ago was one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done…sounds incredible
We see them at least once a year. Our adult kids usually go along making them our favorite family concert to see together. Kofe Burbridge, the keyboardist and flautist, unfortunately passed a few years back, devasting the band. His brother used to play with the band too. They are multi-instrumentalists. Their dad made Kofe play the flute when he was growing up but Kofe really wanted to play the piano and eventually mastered that as well. Incredibly talented loss. The band as a whole is an incredible live band to see.
I saw them every year since the beginning. Love them
Greatness! It’s in the blood. Derek Trucks’ uncle Butch was one of The Allman Brothers duo of original drummers along with Jaimoe. ♥️♥️♥️ And you’re saying it right. You should check out Susan accompanying Eric Church on his Mixed Drinks About Feelings.
Best touring band on the planet!
Do more and I will watch more. These guys are the best.
Here's a little story. I went out one evening in 1987 in Columbia, SC. A guy asked me if I came to hear the phenom kid guitar player from Jacksonville playing that night. Told him no I didn't know anything about him and wasn't staying long. The 9 year old kid phenom turned out to be Derek Trucks. Of course accompanied by his adult circle.
That Is the VOICE OF AN ANGEL!!!😊
I heard their song "Made Up Mind" on my local radio station in 2013. That's how I found them. Their genre doesn't lead them to the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart. That's why you haven't heard of them. Great vocals and guitars!!
Derek is the greatest guitarist alive. He has been great since he was a little kid. Every time I haven't listened to him in a while a and i hear him again end up listening to Derek Trucks for hours.
In 2007 two seperate groups toured together, Derek Trucks Band and and Susan Tedeschi's band.The tour was called the Derek Trucks & Susan Tedeschi's Soul Stew Revival. It took time, but the couple merged romantically and professionally, touring together as the new Tedeschi Trucks Band in April of 2010. Thier first record, Revelator was released in 2011 and won a Grammy award for best blues album. The rest, as they say, is R&R history. Just a few of many must-listen suggestions: Midnight in Harlem, Bound For Glory, Anyhow, and Darlin Be Home Soon. They did a wonderful cover of Etta James classic I'd Rather Go Blind at the White House for President Obama and Michelle in 2012 that is worthy of a watch and listen. Also, I just love some of Susan's solo stuff, pre TTB, such as It Hurt So Bad and Rock Me Right. Thanks for reacting, nice rabbit hole to jump into.
Midnight In Harlem is a MUST!!!
I watch these videos that you post just to see your face your amazement because I know about all these bands but it's always good to see something in case I may have missed it
I enjoy your presentations and the music take me back.
I just saw them two weeks ago, and I'm seeing them again in two more weeks. This musicianship is a whole other level.
Derek Trucks is just simply amazing.. Susan's voice is just blues magic
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derek_Trucks He is one of the best slide players in the world. He is a blues legend himself
Angel from Montgomery is a John Prine song that both TT band and Bonnie covered and were good friends with John!
Welcome to an amazing group. Derek Trucks was in Allman brothers.
Midnight in Harlem is a must....also Derek Truks at 13....playing with Eric Clapton. LAYLA
Midnight In Harlem is a song that, once heard, will haunt you forever - it can't be unheard! I can't wait for you to review that one, Sebs! Also, this band has the most talented backing singers!
Susan and Derek were part of Eric Clapton’s Crossroads events. To celebrate every one of the guitarists greats they could, it included some were 3 day events. Crossroads were held every 3 years in football stadiums and lastly Madison Square Gardens. In 2004, 2007, 2010, and 2013 were the ones I saw on TV. He continues to have them in various venues.
I used to listen to a lot of TD Trucks like 8-10 yr ago but lost track of them (will look them up online) Susan's incredible voice is how I discovered them and I want to RE discover TD Trucks again.
Welcome to the best live touring band out there today. Hands down!! They usually tour with a 12-14 member group of musicians and singers.
after the musical journey , one GRADUATES to TTB
Sebs, love your commentary during your explorations. I’m an old country and blues guy with a little old school 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s rock. Several of the guys I played with back in high school went on to make their living playing with blues, country and jazz stars of the 70’s, wish I had half of their talent and abilities. Sold my old horn ten years ago to a dude that was looking to replace the same brand glad it’s gone to a much better set of chops playing around the NOLA music scene.
And also check out Dereck and Susan in Playing for Change's video of Led Zeppelin's "When the Levee Breaks". You'll find lots of other wonderful musicians and singers in that video too. That's where I first encountered Tedeschi Trucks Band.
They just played 2 shows in Connecticut a few weeks back. Fantastic shows.
Saw them in DC back in February and again last week in Maryland. To say they were tight and amazing is an understatement.
I showed up one random day because you appeared on my feed reacting to one of my favorite songs. I clicked because you remind me of my son. I stayed and keep coming back because watching your reactions to music makes my heart happy. Some great women Blues singers to add to your collection (I can give you a ton...) KoKo Taylor, Deborah Coleman, Ruthie Foster, Samantha Fish, Shamika Copeland, Sue Foley, Beth Hart, Janiva Magness, Ana Popovic... gonna cut it there because I could be here all day...
And look up their recent live stuff. Alecia Chakour has been incredible with her vocal parts.
Saw them the other night and they never disappoint ❤ they preform like bands did years ago. The jam and are such great musicians. So tight! Best concert out there now!👌🏻
Best band on the planet. I've seen them 75 times and will see them four times this week. It's pronounced Tedeski
I used to live in Jacksonville Beach. Derek played everywhere,getting his chops and mileage...we knew he would be the 2nd coming of Duane....and more.
Check out Derek, Doyle Bramhall, and ERIC CLAPTON with...Stevie Wynwood...at Crossroads Guitar Fest doing
the immortal " Can't Find My Way Home".
I just watched your review of Chicago 25 or 6 to 4 and was thinking you would really like TTB when UA-cam (in the infinite wisdom of their algorithm) suggested this. Your review of both were great so I subbed.
I just got back to Dallas from TBB's September 1 concert in New Hampshire. It was almost three hours of non-stop great music and the best concert I have attended. There are 12 band members and all of them are world class musicians in my opinion. They are unbelievably tight. As someone said, every member of the band got an opportunity to shine with a solo. All of the comments below that they are currently the best touring band is not exaggeration. It is also not an exaggeration to say that Derek Trucks is the best living slide guitarist. This is one band that you should go down the rabbit hole with because of their large catalog of great music. I won't give you suggestions because other commentors have already provided a good list. But most importantly, you really need to see them live.
I do believe Ms. Tedeschi has a Fender Strat model named for her.
they're coming to town here again in Nov. last years show was fantastic.
