I broke on this one, y'all... Tears flowed as I listened to Susan sing the lyrics I've lived with all my years. I'm so proud that this performance was in her hometown, Boston...which is my home, as well. I met Susan through a friend of hers whom I was dating way back when. Wonderful person & talent not to be ignored. We jammed a lil' that night. Great fun. If you happen to read this Susan, it's Joe Nadeau... 'Hey'!! You're making the finest music on the planet... Congrats & God Bless y'all. Derek... You are an absolute conduit from the Heavens. Such a joyous cry... I needed it. Thank you.

[@mikeschenk4730]

The same Joe Nadaeu who used to sing for KWS? I'm a fan of yours as well as TTB if that's the case.

[@MrKingtonejoe]

@@mikeschenk4730 That's correct, Mike...thx for the kind words. God bless.

[@johnknappi9519]

Best slide playing I have heard since Duane.

[@dbnewport]

[@paulmccumber9291]

Some people swear DT is the reincarnation of Duane

[@stephengiffith1010]

And he's NOW the best in my opinion I've been playing since i was 12 makeing. A living at it at 15 derek was great playing Layla as a little dude my gosh so outta sight wearing a blue baseball hat just a going to town man

[@andybrown8996]

[@billc6087]

I am so glad to be alive to listen to this!

[@motion24527]

Thankfully, the world will still get to hear music like this, and especially this tune! Awesome rendition.

[@jimit6398]

There’s no band in the world that wouldn’t love to have Susan on lead guitar !

[@Shutityou]

Lol

[@QueenBeeBBQ]

Gregg would APPROVE of this Message. Long Live Gregg Allman

[@MrPmw0317]

Phil Grimes . Sure they are brothers.

[@toddbentler141]

Greatest Show on Earth, what a great band ❤️❤️❤️

[@jeffcordes3280]

He is an amazing Slide player. Greg used to feel like he was seeing Duane reborn.

[@jayenglish7799]

One heluva powerful jam by Derek Trucks to hit that final note .

[@dorthyslotwinski2834]

Tedeschi trucks band gives me the goosebumps every time I hear them.....#RedheadDeadhead

[@rolfr6662]

Favorite song and Derek played memorable slide licks from the original. Susan…. she can sing and play the blues just fine.

[@BillFarnham]

Should bring back memories of the Statesboro Blues on the Live at Ludlow Garage album. Sensational. Derek Trucks carries on!

[@bruced3875]

Will most definitely miss Greg,what a great voice.

[@mikeschenk4730]

The sheer joy I get from the opening chords. And then there is the rest of the song!! Never fails to leave a massive smile on my face. I'm so glad the only versions of this from TTB are live. Great tribute to the 1971 live Allmans album.

[@williamreaves3780]

Sue can play the BLUES and ROCK! Great job by the band!

[@chrisgrow]

OMG THIS IS TOOO GOOD !!! Thanks so much for sharing

[@LessThanFaceProductions1]

Glad you liked it!!

[@grundid44]

Well Derek's finally done it. The finest slide performance of Statesboro Blues since his uncle Duane did it at the Fillmore in 1970. I knew it was coming at some point, cause this kid has an excellent ear. He never plays a bad note, and the microtones are absolutely on point. Congratulations Derek, you've given us a real heart full of joy with your slide brother.

[@danielensing1842]

Derek's uncle was Butch Trucks, not Duane.

[@grundid44]

I'm perfectly aware of Derek's lineage. I purposely wrote "uncle Duane" in there as a figurative compliment, because his slide playing has risen to St Duane levels. Now please don't write me back saying Duane Allman was not a saint.

[@michaeldmytryk3153]

grundid 44 7

[@fgdd9755]

Ok, well you posted that his "uncle " was Duane . So if not why say so?

[@fgdd9755]

Shit comment

[@joemamaurmama]

They obviously speak the same language. Awesome. Thanks for sharing this.

[@jeffstone2585]

Just a killer version!

[@charlesoneil1899]

5 yrs this is amazing

[@johnknappi9519]

He has takrn over for Skydog as the best slide player in the world.

[@johnperrott6450]

He’s great, but check out Sonny Landerth before you hand out the title of best slide guitarist.

[@eileenhenryselby-smith9762]

The blues: delicious hot, disgusting cold. This has extra chillis

[@lynnwright1223]

Oh my goodness!! I'm having a hard, very hard time behaving myself!!!! Love you❤ both so much!!! Make sure you 2 have many, many babies, please! I'm retired, I'd be honored to be the third grandma or nanny. I raised 4 boys and over half the neighborhood in 1999 when there Dad died!! I'm taking care, raising my 13 yr. grandson

[@dianatruckskennedy7524]

We love you guy's !!!

I'm a skydog kinda guy but Shit man this is perfect guys

[@rolfr6662]

Play the bluuuuuz Susan❤️

[@jonathanclark7623]

Susan and Bonney shore can holler the blues love them blue eyed soul sisters.

[@barackobama5304]

Derek nailed Duane's slide phrasing for the first part of the song. Unreal.

[@SP-tc9ml]

the best of blues good!!

[@rodger1121]

Now I know there’s such a thing as reincarnation. Derek is Duane in his next life. The two most amazing guitar players I’ve ever heard.

[@cfrasier1419]

Great post crew!!

[@LessThanFaceProductions1]

Glad youre digging it!

[@LyricTenor85]

Susan is such a Boss! 💪🔥

[@arnaldomerlini8624]

Mi raccomando non battiamo la fiacca,a suonare naturalmente in maniera naturale una voce indescrivibile da applausi veri

[@getdanet1]

Susan can sing to this old fool anytime.

[@louisferdineceline2677]

J'aime bien que vous nous mettiez de la musique...! christian

[@adamcoe]

the gold standard

[@josephhargrove4319]

Blind Willie McTell wrote and recorded "Statesboro Blues" in 1928. It was adapted to a more contemporary version and recorded by Taj Mahal in 1968. It's his version that inspired the Allman Brothers version captured on the Live at Fillmore East recording. richard -- "I am convinced that the future music of this country [the USA] must be founded on what are called Negro melodies. These can be the foundation of a serious and original school of composition, to be developed in the United States. These beautiful and varied themes are the product of the soil. They are the folk songs of America and your composers must turn to them." - Antonín Dvořák, 1892.

[@tombryant5029]

There is a place in the afterlife there's a place where the musical great gather and th here li d Willie McTell is smiling

[@kathif17]

Love my TTB better than anyone I have ever seen oh I love my TTB better than anyone I have ever seen got them TTB blues only until July 7th

[@stephenfletcher8531]

This is a great video of a great performance but let's be clear that the song is Blind Willie McTell's

[@babakpakbaz]

[@robertoramirez6353]

Southern rock ahhhhi.

[@frogeregis]

♥♥♥

[@Pebo62]

I was born in Statesboro, apparently under a Bad Sign

[@billkalivas9750]

Can Susan play the guitar or what?? Don't get me wrong, Derek is pretty good too 😉☺

[@nckwlch]

Who wrote this tune? I first heard it by Taj Mahal.

[@blakewhittington4336]

Why does it show Greg on guitar ?

[@sergiosonlinework-sranjovi4304]

🌈🌈😇😇💜💜💥💥👍👍

[@blandocalrissian9801]

Is it just me or does the bass player at 5:00 look like a Will Ferrell character?

[@SuperSergiosj]

💥👍💜🌈😇

[@Bepollard1]

It’s not fair to the people that have to solo after Derek

[@ireneruthfox]

I think Susan sounds better with her Fenders. JMO

[@bigtbrokenangel4901]

Tom Howland I'm yomiigf k mmmmmmm

[@cc12300]

no good tone on her Les Paul

[@johnlynch9430]

I love this band. I like Susan’s singing, but she doesn’t have to sing every song. Mike Mattison would be more appropriate for some of the lead vocals than Susan. I’m not complaining, just would like to hear mike come out more. I miss his voice in Derek’s old band. Please Susan, don’t Yoko.

[@joelmillett8981]

fully agree

[@DaveLaMont1]

I don’t believe in reincarnation. However…

[@TJPatriot74]

Love Susan's voice but put the guitar down.

[@doriansierra1965]

Derek Trucks is as good or better than Duane, incredible!
