I was doing security for this concert and couldn’t believe I was getting paid to witness such a great band!

[@markmcmyn8967]

Holy Moly the FUNK IS REAL! No matter what they play,blues,jazz,gospel,funk,they ain't playin',they hammer it!

[@mbsnyderc]

This Band is just a monster of sound.got to love very part of it.

[@ireneruthfox]

The Burbridge Brothers are like gasoline on fire. This is great.

[@sergiokodemo6925]

What a kick ass band and every member seems to have a lot of fun playing. I felt boiling blood running through my veins watching this!!

[@shawnmcallister8729]

This band is so put together

[@LoneRevD]

Awesome band, they give it all to ya, leave it all out on the stage, if you haven't seen them, you're blowing it heavily, they're worth even a good distance drive to catch!

[@AZRacer2000]

Another awesome trumpet solo! :)

[@AZRacer2000]

I LOVE the trumpet player, he is SO cool...and Badass on his trumpet as well!

[@TorontoCreatives1]

It's so nice to see a woman doing more than just singing. Susan holds her own with these astonishing musicians, she doesn't just provide stage eye candy and pretty vocals; she's an equal contributor to the overall sound and an amazing musician in her own (and incredibly sexy),

[@spacedaddy5517]

She's Awesome

[@artsanchez9122]

Real well done rendition of classic cuts! Do Sly proud...

[@danejuris6085]

This is great

[@janton61]

Been watching more and more the their videos and they quickly becoming one of the bands I'd most like to see...

[@JamesVandevanter]

😂can't ever get enough of this❤️🎸👍🐬🐬🐬🐬

[@sa65cn1]

Derek is the new guitar hero !!!!

[@anthonyramirez1856]

Never heard of them and they never heard of me, but they were frantastic...I enjoyed it...🙈👶✌

[@08Barclay]

[@JoshDone]

Holy shit - this is amazingly incredible.

[@HTroutman]

JoshDone I saw them about a month ago and they were incredible! I'm getting tickets to see them again in Phila. this fall.

[@JeffPratt4insurance]

What a jam! I want to be there.

[@1wharfboy]

GREAT Rendition of a great beat.

[@jaakkohaapala8189]

The drummer!

[@maryhecht1550]

A Moving Song that takes you Higher in the Happy Field ... Rememvering a mid 70's Huge Bon Fire that took many to a High they Never Knew about through Laughter

[@dancrowley488]

That's just good shit right there. Sly would approve.

[@pedrodutra4088]

OW MY GOD. THATS SOOO GOOD !!!

[@cruptbside]

Really groovy. The drummer is a bad ass.

[@JamesVandevanter]

How many times have I heard and said "solos should be singable?" 😂 I'm hearing the family,the bros., and go head and try to figure each players strongest influence(s) guitars and horns chasing each other? Always will. Derek's solo on this has horn riffs allover (rover😂). This band has always reached for wonder.😊❤🎸🎵

[@jsplittgerber]

My favorite show at the Vibes! Hope they return this year.

[@tkoch19606]

Just, WOW!!!

[@sbingham1979]

[@antoniocarlosmigueldasilva1202]

Grande performance, mesmo ao ar-livre!

[@freemanmanfree5719]

That drummer tho... That's the most aggressive pocket playing I've seen in a long time.

[@OldbutStillRockin]

Dig this! 🎶

[@edkaminski7969]

Amazing ! Sly and family stone was my first concert ever at MSG in 73/74

[@keithroberts5539]

They do it all!!!

[@MartinSmith]

TTB bringing the funk !!

[@mrstanbmw]

This is my favorite Sly and the Family Stone jam this and Stand

[@1mespud]

Great performance! Note: Sly and the Family Stone's version goes: "Boom Laka Laka" and Ike & Tina Turner's version goes: "Boom Shaka Laka".

[@TheRudimentaryConfusion]

This is such a cool tune 8-)

[@richardcarlson7552]

It's so good to hear sly stone again

[@DenisGatsso]

Très bonne équipe .

[@midwestfisherman]

Dayum!! Play it!!

[@jerrydawson7466]

No!. It's speaks for itself. Thank You?.

[@pathesselgrave6903]

Tooooo Cool!

[@AZRacer2000]

Plus Derek kickin ass with NO slide! :)

[@scouse2606]

The two backing singers should be in front of the brass players! My only criticism! Class performance!!

[@funkhands]

Caraca!!! Muito foda!!! Funk da pesada!!

[@Lemonancy]

Derek Trucks = Genius.

[@classicrock1165]

Be nice if Kofii got a solo break in "Sing A Simple Song". I dig his playing! Smooth, classy and soulful!

[@gerryglenn9206]

That drummer is too tough! Set the pace, win the race!!

[@The123shif]

Mike Mattison iS AWESOME!

[@huskynation2318]

Just Bad A$$! When life's complexities get me down - I just play - A Simple Song~

[@reyesplace1096]

Susan's like a blues goddess

[@charrmmee]

wow ! takes a whole lot 2 tackle sly stone - tedeschi trucks burned it, as usual - hot as fire

[@MWLUCKY]

115 degrees on the field, 115,000 degrees on stage

[@johnnyperu5501]

when I die I am coming back as Derek....................

[@ianlambert8034]

No guarantee that you'd get Susan as well -lol!

[@sbingham1979]

Mike Mattison great vocalist - (and of course, always, Susan)

[@floatsting20]

I saw Sylvester Stewart and the Stone family do this over 45 years ago. No comparison

[@stevelittle9289]

It has the appearance of a religious awakening.

[@unclefredwilson]

I could always see the little boy in Derek without a beard- now he's got a beard- I guess it's okay if Susan likes it. But he sounded like a man on that SG for a long time. So he looks like a full-grown slide guitar man. But don't get like Billy Gibbons- you could never eat pancakes without making a mess.

[@mrstanbmw]

Larry Graham got to be liking this too Sly's nasty bass player and cousin.

[@00musicmatterz00]

I think my shorts just caught on fire :)

[@danejuris6085]

sly

[@omeletpants]

In 1971 you would have found me at the local sock hop dancing the Elf to these two songs and the teenie bopper girls soiling their pants watching me

[@jimbob7559]

Forty-five years ago. Ya think maybe your opinion of yourself has inflated since then, or were you always this high on yourself?

[@jerryblades]

gotta love this whole things..good God. but 7:42..yes lawd yes.

[@danejuris6085]

wow too even play this takes balls

[@FansSports]

ok that gave me a woody......stop that!!!!

[@elliotpecora737]

so fucking heavy/funky

[@soulshakedown1013]

🎵☀️🎵

[@jerrydawson7466]

FUNK!. EXTROIDINAIRE?

[@starke2908]

Keyboard player can do Garth Hudson.....that is good

[@foreleftyall]

you want to talk about "super group" - damn the others ain't got nothing on this crew.

[@shawnmcallister8729]

Who says you can't do covers

[@ef418]

32 thumbs down = 32 people without a soul

[@journeyhome6046]

funnnkkky

[@reyesplace1096]

Slide guitar and slide trombone, why not?

[@dvddmc]

Could have thrown a bit more fire on the song. Like the live Woodstock version

[@moxiemusic3739]

Not to objectify susan but I have to say her high heels on the wah while singing and shredding is maybe the sexiest thing I've ever seen in my life

[@farleytaylor5493]

That's a concert.

[@custardflan]

They look hot. temperaturwise.

[@garzor1]

it did hit 104 one day and 101 another....the other 2 days were a more balmy 98.

[@mickjh55]

Who's the chick singer ?

[@mbsnyderc]

Susan Tedeschi.

[@BenLubin]

Good version but doesn't really have the sleazy behind-the-beat groove of the original.

[@anthonyramirez1856]

True, but good...I must admit...if there was alcohol served, I wouldn't know the difference...🙈👶

[@J3unG]

man...i had to turn this shit off for a minute. it was too damn much to take. holy shit. it's shit is burning, dammit.

[@fartknocker8363]

They do this sober....I think.

[@sgchev]

where did that chubby white boy Tyler G get his soul...…??

[@khandrum]

Sorry folks they ruined this song go listen to the real deal SLY AND THE FAMILY STONE OR EVEN BETTER MACEO PARKER live killer FUNKING drummer
