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!

[@ireneruthfox]

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

[@shawnmcallister8729]

This band is so put together

[@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!!

[@mbsnyderc]

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

[@AZRacer2000]

Another awesome trumpet solo! :)

[@AZRacer2000]

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

[@freemanmanfree5719]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@janton61]

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

[@999aureus]

Smokin!

[@artsanchez9122]

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

[@JamesVandevanter]

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

[@BassGuyGG]

My DW and I really love the TTB band because we're both musicians and they have the band we wish we could have! Got my tix for Jones Beach...

[@anthonyramirez1856]

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

[@maryvanlandingham7947]

What happy family :)

[@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.😊❤🎸🎵

[@sa65cn1]

Derek is the new guitar hero !!!!

[@tkoch19606]

Just, WOW!!!

[@dancrowley488]

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

[@tuiboy56]

[@jaakkohaapala8189]

[@JeffPratt4insurance]

What a jam! I want to be there.

[@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

[@jsplittgerber]

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

[@danejuris6085]

[@JoshDone]

Holy shit - this is amazingly incredible.

[@HTroutman]

[@susancarter3864]

[@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".

[@nicolamoran7548]

[@richardcarlson7552]

[@TheRudimentaryConfusion]

This is such a cool tune 8-)

[@midwestfisherman]

[@antoniocarlosmigueldasilva1202]

Grande performance, mesmo ao ar-livre!

[@Lemonancy]

Derek Trucks = Genius.

[@AZRacer2000]

[@gerryglenn9206]

[@huskynation2318]

Très bonne équipe .

[@reyesplace1096]

Susan's like a blues goddess

[@KowboySantos]

[@pathesselgrave6903]

Tooooo Cool!

[@classicrock1165]

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

[@mrstanbmw]

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

[@The123shif]

Mike Mattison iS AWESOME!

[@jerrydawson7466]

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

[@carolynbruning4981]

WOW what a jam! As good if not better than. Sir. Sly and his family stone..

[@scouse2606]

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

[@MWLUCKY]

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

[@funkhands]

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

[@charrmmee]

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

[@danejuris6085]

sly

[@stevelittle9289]

It has the appearance of a religious awakening.

[@00musicmatterz00]

I think my shorts just caught on fire :)

[@johnnyperu5501]

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

[@ianlambert8034]

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

[@soulshakedown1013]

🎵☀️🎵

[@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

[@mrstanbmw]

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

[@elliotpecora737]

so fucking heavy/funky

[@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.

[@danejuris6085]

wow too even play this takes balls

[@FansSports]

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

[@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.

[@jerrydawson7466]

FUNK!. EXTROIDINAIRE?

[@journeyhome6046]

funnnkkky

[@shawnmcallister8729]

Who says you can't do covers

[@starke2908]

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

[@ef418]

32 thumbs down = 32 people without a soul

[@foreleftyall]

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

[@reyesplace1096]

Slide guitar and slide trombone, why not?

[@farleytaylor5493]

That's a concert.

[@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

[@mickjh55]

Who's the chick singer ?

[@mbsnyderc]

Susan Tedeschi.

[@custardflan]

They look hot. temperaturwise.

[@garzor1]

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

[@dvddmc]

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

[@fartknocker8363]

They do this sober....I think.

[@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.

[@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...🙈👶

[@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

[@mbsnyderc]
