Unglaublich gut .. Ein ZeitRaffer... Von den 70ern bis heute . Musikalisch perfekt...Meines Erachtens ein Blues Crossover der besten ART..❤🎉😊

[@louisevad6091]

Songs that are impactful need to be carried to the people. You carried the message with class and honor. You are all world class musicians

[@WendellBurkhart-g9v]

Why this girl ain't on a Universal Stage somewhere is absolutely beyond anything my mind can comprehend right now. She is absolutely amazing !

[@mattdoherty753]

OMG, I hope you people know how special you are. That was bloody fantastic. May what ever God or life force you believe in hold you high. I do. 👍👍👍

[@mattdoherty753]

defiantly as good as the original or probably better.... love from Australia...

[@markrichardsart2167]

I seriously doubt that anyone loves the TTB original more than me and I could barely bring myself to watch this because I thought you’d blow it. You really really didn’t. I was in tears by the start of the solo and didn’t let up till the end. You really captured the emotional core of the song with your own stamp on its presentation. Derek and Susan would have to be proud of you. I know I am, you all did a fantastic job.

[@adamk9700]

Ditto! ❤❤❤

[@Ranger670]

And a ditto from me

[@jonlewis63]

ditto 3

[@plgplgplg]

All true but lets not forget Mike Mattison’s name as songwriter on this. His version on his solo album is also a must hear.

[@terrychaput9211]

Holy hot amazeballs!!!!!!!! Here is THE next biggest voice in music. The band is tight and .....I don't even know what to say!!!!❤

[@fotiskaratasakis8632]

This is the best cover version so far of a great and difficult song. My congrats to you all.

[@kathsellshomes]

I don’t usually like cover bands, but I have to admit they nailed it with this one. Fabulous…loved it. Good job!

[@miketimpy-w1z]

Guitar player is also awesome! all round great band

[@greyjay9202]

Trying to cover this song, or any song done by the Tedeschi Trucks band, is pretty daring. Some have tried, and most have failed. But not this band. They pulled it off, and beautifully, putting their own stamp on the song. Great vocals and instrumentals. I congratulate all of you for doing the nearly impossible. I hope Susan and Derek listen to this cover. I think they'd like it.

[@louise_rose]

I realized soon after I heard the original that the song was destined to become a future blues standard, or at least a classic. That was from watching the epic July 2014 gig at the Vienne jazz festival in southern France - this beautiful show has been broadcast several times on TV and also found its way to KZbin. 💗 Yes, clearly nobody can hope tp beat the original band on this lovely blues hymn, but this is a very good effort. Kudos to everyone involved!

[@eddiea3782]

I am completely captivated by this beautiful and talented singer. Wow, just listen to that voice. And that band. Holy smokes! They are perfect together. They just belong together.

[@alanmonaghan9194]

I saw them as a trio last week in Gateshead supporting Robin Trower where they opened with this track by the Tedeschi Trucks Band. As I already had the TTB CD I was more than impressed with this version. Superb evening overall. Got the new CD signed by Jess and Frankie which I'm playing a lot.

[@johnfarman9578]

How dare they cover that masterpiece and do it every bit as well? Frankie is finally in his element. I’d love to know what Mr and Mrs Trucks think of it.

[@johnfarman9578]

😂

[@n_b7467]

NAILED IT!

[@coreysmith3664]

The dude playing the telecaster is the star of this show, although the whole band was extraordinary

[@blmrgtr]

I think he cheated. Nobody’s that good.

[@tonynichols3016]

Wow....no wonder Jess has a smile on her face....that solo is unbelievable!!! Can't stop watching...fantastic👍👍

[@blmrgtr]

Difference between Jess and Susan is ya wanna tear Jess’ clothes off ‘n start your ravenous meal as ya listen to her sing. Susan… ya just wanna listen, maybe grab some headphones if they’re nearby.

[@StantheInspector]

I agree, instrumentally stripped down a little, but the soulfulness was magnified. Smooth, passionate,

[@DanPigott]

The current 95K views is deceiving... because I've watched this 75K times myself! Unreal! Love it!

[@willgoodall6104]

.....and the other 70k were mine. Magic.

[@tinacantrell9089]

Hauntingly firmware Beatiful

[@markberger8839]

Like other commenters, I just love TTB's original. But it says something fine about this group that they wanted to take it on. Jess Hayes, Frankie Connolly and the rest of the players delivered the goods. Great singing, Jess moves it from soul to the gospel and Frankie's guitar work wisely avoided Derrick's defining slide sound and smoked it with his own. In this world, at this time, we need as much healing as we can get. Thanks.

[@roderickgful]

Exactly! This cat, while a phenomenal slide player wanted to switch it up to. And the raspy, sultry voice of the singer is the cherry on top! Think it’s their first time playing it too! ✌️ kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJ60en-nmc-Xp5Ysi=ePLm3KZ5IaqVwZe5

[@TheDellaniOakes]

I didn't think anyone could sing this as well as Susan, but Jess is amazing! I came across this by random chance, but I'll be looking for more.

[@thebackstagewatcher7364]

Oh my god, what a spaceship with big fat bullocks lifted up - respect!!!!!!!!

[@JonathanLoake]

Saw them at the 100 Club last week, and they played this song. Nothing beats Tedeschi Trucks, but they were amazing. Both versions start the tears rolling!

[@BrenQ99]

Everything about the guitar….. flawless, tasteful, and amazing. Dang!!! What a winner. Of course, everybody else was terriffic…. But him? Dang!!!

[@faustosimonetta8834]

Simply great!!! Great voice, great Telly solo, great band !!

[@11calman]

Yep nice, Vocals, plus the band

[@11calman]

Jess Hayes, come over to New Zealand Mate, Bring your band Do the Vineyard Circuit, You make a fortune

[@markspencer352]

Wow...just wow. Just crushed the vocals and the band jumped right in!

[@markspencer352]

And another thing...where does a young lady like you get SOOOO much soul??? I'm a fan. Listening for more!

[@jacobfurman6500]

Girl, you did the justice to the song. Dynamite in your voice, goosebumps on my back. Thank you!

[@VicHart]

Captured the soul, that's all that matters.💚❤🧭🕛

[@joeantonicci8920]

FANTASTIC..............................

[@margiewhitehead2453]

Oh my ! That takes some nerve and know you can do it talent and sounds like she's got it all ! Sounds so frickin good 👍 And did I mention that her band is absolutely Frickin Melting it ! And I hear that grit in her voice.... Mercy Mercy Mercy where have I been 😂 Lady you are one talented Artist ! With a voice like hers ....she can basically sing any song she wants and make it beg to her to quit bringing the heat 😂 can you imagine her and Susan singing this together !!!!!? Just can't get enough of this Chic singing this song and I really hope that TTB has seen this ! Susan would totally approve of it !

[@clivevanleeve7481]

Fantastic cover the lead guitarist is something else ......

[@SteveG123]

Absolutely legitimate and fully realized cover of a killer tune. So musical and the vocals....wow.

[@MaximilianoSantaCruz-bb8wc]

You have to have a great talent to perform such a beautiful song like this!! Congrats to the band specially the singer.. amazing voice!! Cheers from Argentina

[@salyerbrandon]

Ms Hayes and Mr Connolly wreck this stuff right here. Damn.

[@roycedot]

Wow, fantastic all around, Frankie poured his soul out into that solo!

[@cheapthrillsII]

holy smokers, awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@davidmcreynolds623]

All I can say is DAMN!!!!

[@TSimms7]

Wow. Tedeschi Trucks would be proud. Good job guys.

[@damienbagleeguitar]

Roll on August 24th 🎸👌

[@andrekasperek4477]

A lot of good feelings. the guitar is excellent

[@ned1030]

One of the best covers ever

[@chrisash9040]

Amazing job - blew me away!

[@DanielDias-sr2tg]

I reeeally try to write something, but for the lack of words, i will just just listen on loop

[@mikesed860]

Masterpiece in its own right.

[@bks252]

All I can say is DAMN!

[@robertferguson533]

Y’all knocked that thing right out of the park

[@scottmikle2558]

I do love this version! Jess covers it better than anyone else I've heard and Frankie absolutely slams it! Great cover!!!!!

[@johnv1088]

This is sublime. To cover an amazing song and make it your own is extraordinary. It's like a beautiful poem, but in a different language - each stands alone.

[@MrGreggallman]

Very well said

[@jasonkissick2884]

Holy Cow ❤ the vocals are EVERYTHING and that guitar 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@GrooveTron]

Great voice! Love the Tele solo! Takes guts to cover TTB and put your own spin on it

[@roderickgful]

It does take guts and confidence in one’s ability! There are only 2-3 great covers out there. Here’s one I think is fantastic and it’s live at a beach bar. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJ60en-nmc-Xp5Ysi=ePLm3KZ5IaqVwZe5

[@MikeMenendez-z4g]

They should do a duet…. That would completely rock!!!!!

[@bridgetcatherine5789]

Fabulous

[@biondipepe]

I agree with a guy by the name Mark Richards. I have my reservations to listen to a version to one of my favorite songs a guitars solo by Derek Trucks. This rendition is impressive, the voice, the arrangements, the guitar solo................BRAVO!!!!! Well done guys!!!

[@BarneyDavey]

Virtuoso performances all around. It takes confidence and competence to tackle a sacred song, and you delivered a superb, masterful rendition. It's so sonic, in the pocket, and made for repeat listening because the whole band brings it! This is so fine; it will be in my favorites forever... it's not possible that you can listen to this too much.

[@blmrgtr]

“… sacred song”… good, accurate description.

[@ambu6478]

Wow! I didn't think this cover could do justice to The TTB original version, but you blew me away! What a great job!!

[@Hannibu]

I guess Derek would have a big smile on his face,too, hearing that solo. Man you nailed it.

[@blacktulip3552]

Just beautiful!

[@bassiclogic]

Best KZbin cover of this song! Great band and the lead vocalist Jess has the soul to sing this song righteously!

[@stevetrivago]

Incredible .. I’m in love.. shhh.. with her voice Incredibly talented and Frankie Is some kind of guitar player .. 🙏🏼🔥🔥🔥🙂

[@paulfarrell9503]

Wow wow wow!! Beautifully sung Jess - just beautiful. What a unit!! And Freddie - well - you took me away with that masterpiece. As previously said Derek and Susan will be chuffed with that. Sleeping happy now :- thanks 👍👌

[@mikeconrad7904]

Love that musicians are in a room together creating MO JO! Awesome! Enjoyed all 7 minutes! Oh Hell yea!

[@justsayinme2u]

What can I say...simply THRILLING to hear this!

[@rainfieldmusic]

[@tommyvitt1301]

Lol.. yes Frankie is definitely a unique Charakter. But the whole bands a..f***ing .. mazing.. just saw them here in Germany.. Already looking forward to seeing them again.

[@sharenisme1]

So Beautifully Done. And that's not easy with this song. One Hell Of a Band Also. Great Job.

[@syfman6]

I love everything about this. Well done! 💚🎸

[@plgplgplg]

Wow, that's right up there.

[@scottsoucy6186]

Great cover, but I'm so used to hearing Derek's unparalleled slide playing on this song that I wasn't sure how it would sound without it. You guys really nailed it! Look forward to hearing more.

[@BlessedMe11]

Absolutely Stunning performance! Beautiful singing and excellent playing! You guys are a really tight and talent band. I loved every second.

[@victorgunn6172]

Simply outstanding. What a voice, what a band. Midnight in Harlem make me float on air whenever I hear it by the by the TTB. This version is no exception. And as for Jess, think I love you lol ❤

[@thomasgraben123]

The guy on Tele is superb.

[@jimsilvey5432]

It took him a little while to get going, but once he found it, wow.

[@nai679]

It's so amazing to see and feel the harmony, wishing you all the success in the world!!! btw this made my night, really really incredible

[@stunman1000]

Great version 👍

[@steelermule]

Surprisingly Awesome !

[@Dutchly]

this is now on my android list, thank you:-)

[@timroth856]

I too came here expecting the worst when someone tries to cover an amazing band like TTB, but holy crap that was exceptional.

[@aldofromsf]

Your cover of Midnight in Harlem was off the charts full of soul and passion. Thank you, hope to see you in North Carolina soon.

[@paulsimpson5949]

What a brilliant beautiful voice, reminded me of an Australian singer Renae Geyer. Such a cool vocal and the band had it all together, loved the lead guitar work and a very competent drummer with some great drive and a bass that also drove the rhythm section. An all round spine tingling performance.

[@jonwilcox8028]

This cover is transcendent

[@TheRoba64]

Frankie !!!!! Outstanding . This is the best cover of this song ever

[@blmrgtr]

Causton is one town away from Midsomer! Who doesn’t know that, Mitch! My wife and I watch what’s happening in Midsomer every Friday night here. He, he, he…

[@adamk9700]

Wow. I echo the popular sentiment here in the comments. This might be my favorite song of all time, and you guys nailed it with your own feel. Bravo 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️

[@RockNRoll-cq5wn]

Killed it!!!!’

[@petergoddard1960]

Man, that was a stunning version. When curiosity turns to delight. Everyone excelled. Shit hot.

[@jackiesmith2801]

Fantastic!

[@thanganohro2505]

It’s a tough song to cover. But you guys did a great job. Love it. It’s different and that’s how it should be. Love love the vocals ❤

[@allenwoolard6386]

Hair raising good. Awesome job.

[@phillipsands4557]

I can't seem to get enough of this. I listen over and over. Where has these artists been?

[@rickstorm1044]

A beautiful rendition I love the Tedeschi Truck Band I think Susan Tedeschi is an amazing vocalist I think you guys did serious justice to the song...Bravo!

[@01tigerboy]

love this version..
