Tedeschi Trucks Band & Friends - "Sly Stone Medley" - Live at Red Rocks

At the Wheels of Soul Tour stop in Red Rocks on June 13, 2015, Tedeschi Trucks Band are joined by Sharon Jones and members of the Dap-Kings (Binky Griptite, Cochemea Gastelum, Chris Davis, Mike Buckley, Saundra Williams and Starr Duncan) and Doyle Bramhall II for an incredible medley of the Sly Stone classics "Sing A Simple Song/I Want To Take You Higher."

This is one of the best things I've ever seen. Instantly a huge smile on my face. The wind makes it look so epic.

[@gratefulape12]

Man, tears of joy

[@john-zw9rw]

This song is 50 years young.. The driving drum beat is Spot On ..as it was then.. Sly Stone was so far ahead of the times.. He was a classic Band Leader ... His arrangements were so full of energy .. Screaming guitars , killer vocals , super tight soul band.... The San Francisco Bay was so full of the best music in the world.. All Genre's....... we had it all..... music is the food in Life....

[@dmskon]

The world was a better place with Sharon on the stage. She is missed.

[@keithmooney5178]

An amazing performer and beautiful soul!!

[@valeriestaton6474]

This is still my favorite music video by a collective group! No one does it better! The setting is epic!!! The talent is OFF the charts!!!

[@mbsnyderc]

Good night Sharon Jones .this was the only show i got to see off you. and you gave your best. R.I.P.

[@janetgeuy8815]

Lived 20 minutes from Red Rocks Amphitheatre for 24 years. It's the finest concert venue on the planet.

[@lisabolo26]

Thank you, ya'll, for throwing the best party on the planet and showing everyone it can be a SOBER one. I'm so sorry about Sharon. She danced like a 20-yr old!

[@GloriaSangreal]

Dear God, thank you very much for that bright spirit shining through Susan Tedeschi and giving her Derek to make such awesome and necessary soul-filling music. Amen.

[@edkerry87]

+Gloria 'Sangreal' Amen

[@markcannon1311]

Gloria 'Sangreal' said perfectly

[@jimbob7559]

I'm not a believer Gloria, but I wholeheartedly support your enthusiasm and love of this group.

[@Hairyblues]

Gloria 'Sangreal' Don’t you give your God the credits for their talent!

[@j.rollinsbrunson3671]

Had 2,046 views when I enjoyed every minute of this. It kind of renews my faith in humanity that 2,000 of them recognize the sheer amount of talent on that stage ! To the other 46, don't give up ! Maybe one day you will know true talent when you see it ! I'm pulling for ya !

[@bearlover7928]

RIP Sharon and Kofi Burbidge

[@tablaturebutler2823]

This is the REAL deal! Who else is doing what the TTB is doing?

[@omeletpants]

No one. TTB is the keepers of the great music of the early 70s

[@ELBlDu]

you got that right. They have some of the BEST in that band. 3 of them were w/ Eric Clapton, what would you expect form such great talent, in ALL of them. They ALL shine BRIGHT! You can tell they all like each other too. Nobody hogs the spotlight.

[@logand2353]

an amazing band…LOVE THEM!!! 🤗❤️💕💗👏🏾💐😍🥰

[@markhoffman2237]

Incredible! On most nights, the TTB is the best rock 'n' roll band on earth, especially when they call on their many friends for shows like this.

[@SevenBears1]

I was fortunate to see Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings 6 times. Santa Barbara and in LA a few days apart on tour with TTB were the last 2. Those of you that saw SJDK live know the power they put out. I'll go to see TTB every time they come to town even back to back nights like i did this year. But we all miss the power and emotion of Miss Jones !!!

[@Shamanysm]

I just got higher. Higher then the stratosphere. God bless all those people on stage.

[@suzannebaker5270]

Never heard anything better! Got this old lady dancing and singing up a storm! Many thanx!

[@rustymacneil3227]

When you want to get your funk on!!! This is dance music!!!!!

[@StratOnFire]

It's incredible what Derek Trucks can do using only his fingers. A true legend!

[@traceyharland7346]

RIP Sharon Jones. We only got to see you perform once but my, my, my...

[@virginiakusmisz5083]

Got to see her in Atlanta with them... what a show... loved her

[@jenniferkilmurray1533]

This is the tightest group oj the planet! Love it!!

[@KevinAhernmusic]

Man! I wish youtube had a LOVE!!!! button!

[@nashboro1847]

I wish I could've been at this jam! I know TTB puts on a good show , but with Sharon and the Dap Kings...oh man! They always turn it out here in Nashville. Doin' Sly Stone just took it to a HIGHER level!

[@pathesselgrave6903]

This was fun to watch....Sharon Jones, Susan, & Derek and all the gang ......Terrific!

[@RobinLull]

Oh hell yeah!!!! I'm just grinning ear to ear.. remembering an online conversation with Doyle a long time ago, about loving Sly and the Family Stone tunes.. I used to go to the public library as a kid and listen to Sly's LPs! This is great!!

[@custardflan]

Help me Jesus!!! A couple powerful women right there. Highly recommend the Miss Sharon Jones documentary on Netflix.

[@michellelomason4130]

I just watched it last night, thanks for the recommendation!

[@tangobango9653]

Now this is a jam! God Bless this music!! Thanks for sharing.

[@scarroll413]

This is the complete musical representation of the solution to the social problem in out country right now. Black, white, brown, green, it don't matter. Just love, respect, creativity and joy.

[@htraindogs]

Gives me hope

[@TheCcmarine]

Tedeschi Trucks played a kickin version of this last night as an encore and WOW!! They blew the roof off with this high energy Higher man it was a hell of a night too!! 1st time for me seeing them live and they do not disappoint!! They bring IT & then some!! Was truly and utterly impressed!! Best live band ever!! Rock on \,,/,

[@rosiekarle]

I'm blow'n away and not just by the trumpet ; no , the whole performance ! That is music " Pure "

[@sr4663]

I went to see Sly live as often as I could. Never disappointed. This is a great tribute and all were spectacular.

[@eddgong]

Lady Sharon was not only feelinn the medicine she was spreadin it around to everybody's aches and pains , not only the doctor but an instigator .....RIP Lady

[@warriordrum]

RIP Sharon Jones.....

[@davidcarter2720]

Cymbals looking to levitate, legs askance to keep skirts in place, ties ruining embouchures, carefully coiffed hair spun & lifted, more than one hat glued/wired onto a performer's head yet still looking to break free, ... the hurricane seemed to focus the band on one of the best performances I can remember. RIP to those no longer on this Earth.

[@vomitingconfetti7187]

Susan's energy here is soaring high. It's always nice to watch an artist enjoying what she's doing.

[@virginiakusmisz5083]

absolutely fucking awesome... love TTB so happy to have seen sharon and dapp kings with them.... wonderful

[@nancyhovermorton7865]

[@kiloechocharlie5415]

Incredible joy on Susan's and everyone's face. Wow!

[@erinallen9101]

I listen to this at least once week!

[@jeffsaginaw1769]

Once again, Holy Sh!t - at points it was a church revival but with a massive horn section and 4 guitar players!. So many people made the mix tough BUT damn those were great tunes. Thanks TTB and guests for a great moment!

[@AltDavidMiscavige]

Sharon Jones was a force of nature.

[@06monarch]

Singing, jamming, dancing, celebrating & funning - a gem.

[@DrGreg28]

Susan has “World Class” legs! You’re a fortunate man Derek!

[@donaldschleicher1184]

Mr Potato Head lol.... I was thinking the same thing....

[@mooshuguy5141]

Good thing that place doesn't have a roof. Just fantastic.

[@MyNameRS]

Dancin' with the drummer. So awesome. The most on-fire outfit playing these days.

[@garytaylor2084]

Thank You. AWESOME. Dancing like it was 1969.

[@uncleskipsprairiejustice9367]

wait, what? I didn't know they did these tunes! I fucking love both and they are crushing it. Damn! Doing Sly proud. If funk could kill you we'd all be dead.

[@mbsnyderc]

I was there first time seeing them as one band I've been back every year sense.

[@pcandjj]

Stunningly good. What amazing energy, power and drive. Wo.

[@GrahameR75]

Bloody hell! This is the business! Sharon Jones was something else!

[@YrmavanderSteenstraeten]

Goosebumps!

[@salbarracca2291]

[@mbsnyderc]

[@davidbentley145]

[@keithmooney5178]

I have loved this band since their inception and they never disappoint!! I love this medley when they close with it, but I pity the Fool is one of my favorite live songs ever when this band does it, TTB!!!

[@mbsnyderc]

How the hell does this not have a million view.

[@mikemckool6645]

We NEED more of this and CAN'T take much more of "THAT"!! Love STone and Allman Families!! PEACE and Rock!

[@danielcombs3207]

[@monte2352]

Man this is just firing me up more for Mar. 2nd at the Ryman for my second of I am sure many more times I plan to see them.They could sing and play the alphabet and turn it into a rocking jam.
