Tedeschi Trucks Band Reviews

Dawg from Jackson, Mississippi

SMOKIN!!!

I've had the GREAT pleasure of seeing these cats 5 or 6 times now, they JUST keep getiing better and better if that is POSSIBLE. Great setlist, great covers, STATESBORO BLUES brought the house down, I PITY THE FOOL-off the chain, Laugh about it and Midnight in Harlem awesome, it seems Derek was really into, he was SMILING a lot, don't see that often, Susan was just having a BALL on stage, band was KILLING IT.

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.

THIS WAS AN AMAZING SHOW

This was maybe the best concert I've ever seen...I enjoyed every minute. The level of power between Susan Tedeschi's voice and Derek Truck's guitar was from another world.

GREAT PERFORMANCE

I just saw the band a Wolf Trap. What a concert! I enjoyed every moment! Once suggestion. All instrumentals and backup signers are great. But, you are playing to an audience that is morning the Death of Greg Alman as evidenced by the reaction to Whipping Post last night. I would recommend that Derek include another instrumental maybe "Ode To Elizabeth Reed"..... to fill in versus other instrumentals ( sax, etc). Just something to think about. Super Concert! Super everything. I thoroughly enjoyed the concert.

TEDESCHI TRUCKS MERRIAM THEATRE PHILADELPHIA JUNE 8

Great show. Snuck down to the third row. Third time I've seen them, best show yet. Susan, Derek and their fantastic band are such a wonderful musical treat. 🎼🎼🎼

LOUISVILLE PALACE

They played for 3 hours and 25 minutes. Sound system was awesome and so were all the band members.Derick and Susan led the show like the pros they are. No complaints from me Loved the music. Johnny Cash. Dwight Yokem couple of guys who would turn their back on the crowd. They.put on one hell of a show at the Palace don't think we could ask for more.

TTB IN AKRON

Long time admirer, first time seeing in concert. Powerful covers of Dylan, Cohen, and Clapton's Derek and the Dominoes. However, their performance of "The Storm" that segued into the Allman Brothers "Whipping Post" brought the house down.

THE BEST THING GOING TODAY.

I made it to the shows on the 6th and 10th. They were both outstanding - - I liked the show on the 10th a little bit more. The sound of this band is simply enormous and I can only describe the concerts as musical nirvana. In my view, TTB is the best live band out there today. I have not had a concert experience like this since seeing the Grateful Dead on its Spring 1977 tour.

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!

Clarence from Minneapolis, Minnesota

POOR PERFORMANCE

Derek Trucks turns his back to the crowd while playing. Who does that? Such a phenomenon on guitar and all I saw was a ponytail. Then after 8 songs they take a 20 minute break! Sorry but take a page out of Bruce or Paul or Elton. They got em beat by 20 plus years in age and played 3 hours straight.

INCREDIBLY SPECIAL

Have yearned to see this band for forever. Finally, at the MET in Philly, last evening, was a flawless 3 hour+ musical performance unlike any other. The Ensemble en Masse, was as tight and clean as any could have hoped, with their driven pieces, Susan’s vocals and Guitar, the accompaniment of the artists, the Jazz Blues Gospel/Style fusion of the entire band, as well as the Greatest Slide Guitar work of Derek, since Uncle Duane in the 60’s and early 70’s. The Performance was Ultra Superior. A Classic Moment in Musical Time for us, as well as those who had the pleasure of attending. If there are any bands in their league, I’d certainly like to know who they might be. For my money and musical tastes, these are the Best of the Best, not a close second. And, I’m going back to seeing shows from the mid 60’s. This one right there with any, at the Zenith of concert shows. BRAVO!!!!!!
