I am one lucky man. I live 7 miles south of Red Rocks and get to hear this great band every year on my birthday! The last weekend of July is when they come into RR every year. They are so big at RR that 5-6 years ago they expanded a single night gig to a two night date, and they sell out both in a couple hours. Not only are they both so unbelievably talented, they are truly very nice, kind people. When COVID hit, Derek and Susan kept the band's salaries at the same level as if they were touring. They took the financial hit, not their band. I once complemented Derek's playing on this very song on their band's website. The first time I heard it was at RR on a lovely Colorado night. It was simply magic. I said that it sounded like Ravi Shankar's sitar, a feat that I've never heard a slide player even attempt. A couple hours later, none other than Derek himself replied and thanked me for the complement. If you want to really understand how dynamic Susan's voice is, watch the YT video of her doing Etta James' "I'd Rather Go Blind," when President Obama had blues night at the White House. She does a duet on it with Warren Haynes, Derek's old buddy from TABB. She knocks it completely out of the park, and then down the street. They are simply fantastic.

[@debbiewheat2573]

I knew in 1999, I had found a treasure at a BB king blues festival. Susan, stepped up on that stage, and was very comfortable. I've seen her and Derek 5 times. Gets better and better every time. Live music is the best. Worth seeing, I could have a dose every day!

[@alankillian4962]

[@ericdeer5887]

My daughter has been a fan since she was @14, we saw them twice before she was 18

[@JP_43]

This was a very special iteration of their band. It should be pointed out that the bass player is Oteil Burbridge who played with the Allman Brothers Band alongside Derek and currently tours with Dead & Co. Definitely worth checking him out, an amazingly talented bassist as well as a beautiful singer who happens to have perfect pitch. The angel on the organ is Oteil's brother Kofi Burbridge who tragically passed in 2019 and was an amazing multi-instrumentalist. Derek's solo on this tune makes me tear up every time I hear it, it is quite literally perfect. I can also attest to Susan being a truly lovely human. I had the pleasure of seeing the Allman Brothers at the Beacon in NYC while sitting on the stage thanks to a good friend. Sitting directly in front of me was Susan and their then 2 year old kid who spent the whole show facing backwards dancing for us and giggling. Susan could not have been nicer that night. At the time I had not really listened to her music I only knew she was married to Derek. I am now a huge fan of them both.

Thank you for mentioning Kofi. Viewing this beautiful song combined with the fact that Kofi is no longer with us brings me to tears. A little sad that this person didn't comprehend his importance to the band and at least acknowledge him. Kofi has been with Derek for about 20 years when he passed. It almost ended this band, as described in a PBS video about them. Bless you, Kofi, for the goodness you brought us...

[@RockDocNeal]

Hi Beth, I've seen the Tedeschi Trucks band a couple times in concert and they are definitely one of the best current live bands. Derek Trucks played with the Allman Brothers Band for many years (he is the nephew of their drummer Butch Trucks) and he is arguably the best living slide guitarist on the planet. Susan Tedeschi (who is from my home state of Massachusetts) is also one of the best female blues/soul/R&B vocalists I've heard (and a pretty good guitarist).

[@melindaozment1907]

Her playing just gets better and better! Of course she is married to DT. And her voice is amazing!

[@nobody_special]

I saw Susan Tedeschi in concert just over 20 years ago when her first album came out. Amazing singer.

[@martingallo767]

[@kingsrv58]

Yeah, I saw here when she was a solo act at BB King Festival. She also did a couple songs with BB. Amazing. But these 2 together. WOW.

[@trumpsbrain-worm5196]

Yup. She Rocked Me Right the very first time I discovered her.

[@petergoddard1960]

Travelled to Glasgow last November to see their first gig in Scotland, and my first time seeing them too. Absolutely spellbinding. Their pedigree is impeccable, their vibe is really great. 12 musicians on stage, all at their peak from years of touring extensively. In all probability one of the premier touring acts in the world. Trucks is absolutely one of the premier exponents of slide guitar ever. Stints with the Allman Brothers at a young age cemented his pedigree early on. Susan is and was a premier artist in her own right. The couple were married for 10 years before they decided to merge their separate touring acts into this ensemble. The band are like an extended family.

[@ScottatHouseonaHill]

Arguably the greatest live band on the planet. Derek is a god on guitar and Susan's voice (and her own guitar playing) are stellar. She is never, ever pitchy.

[@aaroncarothers4371]

I don't cry about things...but these two, and the beauty of their phrasing gets me teary on occasion. This is one of those songs I'm a little afraid to listen to. God bless what music gives us and each other :)

One of the finest live bands today. It’s almost like a blues rock symphony. Watching Derek play is a spiritual experience. And Sue, aside from being one of the finest voices alive today can also light a guitar on fire. PS. If you want a song that highlights Susan’s voice in its full power, their cover of Bobby Bland’s “I pity the fool” is a must listen. TTB fans, Iykyk

I just saw them in concert recently. It was truly a bucket list moment. They did play Midnight in Harlem which thrilled me to no end since the song is over 10 years old and they are promoting their new multiple album songs.

[@bmitd]

You completely got it. It is amazing to hear someone verbalize what this band has been about from day one. When they combined musical forces, Derek wanted to create a space for Susan to sing, plain and simple. The entire band (they have had some personnel changes since this early performance.) is organized around Susan's voice. Your description of what you think their shows are like is spot on too. It is like being enveloped in waves of dynamic and harmonic vibrations. It is, for me, a very emotional experience, every time I see them.

I discovered them on a dvd from Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Festival from maybe 2010 or 2013 where the covered “Anyday” by Derek and The Dominos, with Clapton watching from the wings. They absolutely killed it. And yes, Derek Trucks was named after Derek and the Dominos. He’s the nephew of the late Allman Brothers drummer Butch Trucks.

[@modmatt1]

Same here - discovered them from one of the Crossroads Festival recordings - The one where they play with Warren Haynes on "Space Captain”. Since then, we've seen them live a number of times, and their live performances do really need to be experienced with incredible musicianship. They've really moved up in he world, we used to see them at a local college, then multiple Beacon Theater (NYC) dates and this year we're seeing them at Madison Square Garden - just a single date. They are just amazing live for sure.

Derek played with the Allman Brothers for the first time when he was 14 years old. Years later, Susan was an opening act and that's where they met. They are so fabulous in person, and I just love that they have about 20 people in their band. I don't know how they make any money since they have to pay so many people, but the audience wins.

Hey Beth, I’ve watched them play this on several videos and love, love, LOVE this song. So when I heard they were playing at Byron Bluesfest 2024, I immediately bougjt tickets. I was fearful they might not live up to reputation. Couldn’t have been more wrong. They far exceeded my expectations. Absolutely sublime! If I ever get the chance to see them again, I’m there. OMG, they are the most complete band I’ve ever seen ❤

They are highly regarded in the "jam band" scene because of exactly what you said: they focus on the music.
