Tedeschi Trucks Band Reviews

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. 🎼🎼🎼

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Kyle from Seattle, Washington

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.

Samuel DiL from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

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!!!!!!

John Wilson from Chicago, Illinois

FIRE AND NICE

Saturday (01/22/22) TTB was on fire! It was smooth, it was messy, it was greasy, it was crunchy and every tasty note was the best! Ear Candy!

Liz from Akron, Ohio

AKRON CIVIC TEDESCHI TRUCKS

This band live is a musicians dream! This show was cooking, I gave it a 10! So glad I got to see this band! The band blew me away. 😎 The Akron Civic Theater is a perfect venue for music.

SCOTT LORTZ from Akron, Ohio

TTB AKON CIVIC

The entire band was on top of their game great great performance. Felt bad for Susan you could tell she was in pain, but although the show must go on. I show a different side of Derek he was facing the crowd more often and was smiling. At the end of the show he walk over to Susan, put his arm out and helped her off stage , what a humbling sight. BRAVO

Tom Neveau from Detroit, Michigan

STRONG VOICES

Susan wasgreat! She really belted out the songs and gave a great guitar show.

CCarol Corcoran from Buffalo, New York

MIDNIGHT IN HARLEM

Unbelievable favorite song so glad they played it.

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!!

Mark Valdez from Los Lunas NM

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.

Jim from Inverness, Florida

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.

Bill M. from Boston, Massachusetts

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.

Franz from Chicago, Illinois

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!

Allen Powell from Akron, Ohio

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.

JOhn from Nashville, Tennessee

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.

TEDESCHI TRUCKS @ WESTVILLE MUSIC BOWL JULY 6TH

Have seen them 6x over last 6-7 years, huge fan. Last night show was fantastic but, when it comes to guitar licks, Susan has officially taken a back seat to DT. She is almost like the rhythm player now, not getting any bit of a solo opportunity until late in the show. The drums kits were KILLING IT. Great show at a GREAT VENUE

Captin from Ames, Iowa

AMES, IA

I enjoyed the show, however, way too much of Derek’s guitar “talent”! The band has an awesome group of horn section AND backup vocals! Would have loved to of heard more of them!!! Susan has a beautiful voice, really enjoyed her!!!

Slough Hand from Los Angeles, California

THE BAND IS FANTASTIC, BUT...

I love this band. Unfortunately, the sound mixing at their Greek Theater, 2022 performance left much to be desired. There was no separation of instruments, so it came at the audience like an undifferentiated squall of sound. Many retreated to a snack bar behind the stage and watched it on the big screen.

Lynn Valente from San Francisco, California

TOO MANY SOLOS THAT WERE NOT SUSAN

There is no question that Derek Trucks is a virtuoso guitarist but there are only so many blistering solos that one can take. The middle instrumental set struck me as an ego exercise. The drums solo was excruciating. I longed to hear more vocals from Susan. I came away with an uncomfortable feeling that she acquiesced the spotlight to him. Maybe not intentionally, but still. She is equal to him in talent.

Len Mason from Chicago, Illinois

LIKE LENGTHY GUITAR SOLOS? THIS IS THE SHOW FOR YOU. ST? NOT SO MUCH.

Saw the show at the Greek Theater in Berkeley. Huge undifferentiated sound most of the time. V hard to hear Susan, or really any of the individuals singing or playing. Huge fan of TTB, but how many guitar solos ( from DT and then, as if there weren’t enough) from three members of Los Lobos. Pass.

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.

Jim from Akron, Ohio

NO BASS OR BEAT NO TEMPO. GREAT VOICE

Lights flashing in to the audience eyes was annoying. There was no rhythm no bass guitar, no bass drum beat. The saxophone solo didn't follow any tempo beat.

Not Los Lobos from Atlanta, Georgia

NOT IMPRESSED AT ALL.

I seen this band over a dozen times and this was by far the worst show I've been too. We left after the first curtain call. There wasn't a reason to stay longer. Waited two years for this show and was rewarded with a crap show. I still love your music but I'll never pay to see another one of your shows.

Dennis from Atlanta, Georgia

TEDESCHI TRUCKS AT THE FOX IN ATLANTA

I so wanted this to be a great evening. we waited two years through Covid cancellations and it finally came time to see them. Worst concert I’ve ever experienced. Either the Fox venue is acoustically challenged or TDB needs to fire their sound engineer team. It seemed each mike and instrument were all maxed out on volume ….seemingly competing with each other too be heard over the din. The resulting sound overall was painfully loud and a clash of noises. The instruments should all COMPLEMENT the extraordinary talent of DT and ST. So disappointed.

from New York, New York

NOT GREAT

I saw them in August along with Los Lobos and I immediately became a fan so much so that the next day I bought tickets to see them again at the Beacon. Last nights performance at the Beacon was not great. The sound was poor. The first set seemed short. They took a long break followed by the final set which was not much better. The audience pretty much was not moved. Not at all like the show at the Mann over the summer. Take a page from Bruce or Elton give it all to your fans.

Byron Davatzis from St Petersburg Fl

BORING GUITAR GYMNASTICS

Saw them in Clearwater Florida. Packed enthusiastic audience of geriatrics trying to recapture 1973. Tedeschi would be better without Derek. She can sing and play. The band lacks soul or swing. Way too polished for my taste. They are a Delaney and Bonnie, Allman Bros, Derek and the Dominoes cover band on steroids. Nauseating long guitar solos and a 10 minute drum solo for those who really miss the 70s! Pass.
