It was followed by "I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free" where the backup singers got their moments in the spotlight. Combined, it was both transcendent and heartbreaking. And thoroughly topical.
Speaking of Heartbreakers, they also covered "You Don't Know How It Feels" in a mini tribute to Tom Petty. Wasn't a highlight, exactly, but a heartfelt tribute.
Susan Tedeschi is improving as a guitarist, and brought the house down when, after a competent and extended solo, she continued with the guitar behind the head trick. Jimi Hendrix she ain't, but it was a fun moment.
Excellent show, Derek was awesome, there were flute solos, trumpet solos, organ solos, etc. etc. And Susan was in fine voice.
Sounds like a great show. For me, TTB is probably the hottest live band right now, but I have extremely limited sampling data in the last few years!
Heard nothing but good things about them, but I have yet to see them in person. Time was, I'd have been all over that, but I guess the years are starting to catch up with me. Next tour for sure.
