Tedeschi Trucks Band Reviews

Chris Adolfi from Charlotte, North Carolina

MAGIC

Third time that I've seen them and they never disappoint. These guys are truly magical. Thank you to the entire band for sharing your gift. Wish I could follow them thru Europe but I'll be front and center for at least five shows when next years tour comes thru the Southeast. Safe travels!!

TEDESCHI TRUCKS AND LOS LOBOS 7/30/2022 RED ROCKS

One of the best concerts we have ever seen! Dixon was great. Then the Los Lobos lit it up with some fire guitars and drums. Tedeschi Trucks came out and just crushed it! The whole time you could see different guests from the other bands sitting in. Like the drummer from Loss Lobos on the bongos. If that w s not enough, The greatest dobro player ever Jerry Douglas sat in for at least half of the set, and lit it up With Derrek and Susan. What a great show in a great venue.

ORLANDO HARD ROCK 01/28/23

This was a really enjoyable show. We have followed this band since their inception. Originally saw Derek with the ABB and then also followed his band. There is a lot of guitar at one of these shows. If that bothers you, you've been warned. Personally I like it. Susan's voice is so good you hate to miss a moment. But they have other singers (Mike) also worthy of hearing more. The Orlando show was terrific. They were tight. They spread the spotlight around in their typical fashion. That's hard with such a big band. I miss the Derek Trucks Band and would like a more Mike. I know others could easily want more Susan. Tonight she was channeling Janis. Superb. They didn't play some of the things that had been semi standards. I know that's a loss but they replace them with things that bring a tear to your eye, done perfectly. It didn't seem they played as long tonight as other shows. I can't verify that but it was my impression. It was nonetheless terrific and I can't wait to see them again.

XFINITY CENTER 2018

More Susan less Derek, she has a great voice and don't forget when she was on her own she can play a mean guitar. It seemed like every song Derek had to slow the song down with his 5 minute solo. Don't get me wrong he is the best slide guitarist out there, and I do appreciate his talent, just not every song has to be about him and his solo performance. Other than that the band sounded great with and awesome group of backup singers and horn section. The venue was less than half full with the lawn seats closed off due to lack of ticket sales. Which leads me to believe it might be the last time they perform there. The opening acts The Drive by Truckers were ok, Marcus King was amazing watch out for this young guy he put on a great show.

SHOWMANSHIP

As great a musician as Trucks is, his showmanship is poor. He mostly plays to his band, with his back sometimes completely to the audience. Most of the time he is squirreled away between his keyboard player and his bass player, and seems more interested in what they are doing than in giving the audience a look at what he's doing. Like I said, a GREAT musician, best guitar slinger out there right now, but he needs to work on his stage presence. Tedeschi is a more versatile performer, and her solos are great too!

TTB GUITAR SOLOS

I didn't know TTB before this show in Akron Oh (2-1-22). I went because a friend ask me to go. Trucks is an amazing guitarist and the band is great. The thing that annoyed me was that EVERY single song had a long extended guitar melting solo that went on forever. On two or three songs, maybe four or five, I get it. But this was the formula from the first song to the last. We get it, you can shred it, but for me it became monotonous and predictable. From where I sat you couldn't really hear the horn section at all just screaming guitar. And I too felt like Trucks never looked at the audience...He was sideways the whole time. Great band and hard working no doubt, just not my cup of tea.

GREAT BAND AND SHOW

Very tight band and awesome vocals by Susan and the usual fantastic guitar play by Derek. Would’ve like less covers and a few more originals but can’t complain at all. Not sure all of the solos are needed but hard to argue with that much talent. Keyboard player from Nashville (Gabe Dixon) was very good and tore up a few solos. Loved the Derek and the Dominoes cover. Great show and an even better band.
