Slowing things down, the band breezed through a slow building soulful and bluesy “Life Is Crazy” led by backing vocalist Mike Mattison that had the first moments of Derek demonstrating his mastery of the slide that morphed into a rolling, rollicking review. The horns made themselves heard in earnest, with Elizabeth Lea’s trombone propelling the jam before Tedeschi finally called her own number in the swirling jam, dropping a massive solo, letting her guitar wail. Between songs, Tedeschi offered a quick thanks to opener Vincent Neil Emerson, checked on the crowd, and launched into a duet with keyboardist Gabe Dixon on a stellar, chugging “Ain’t That Something”. Tedeschi Trucks Band – “Woman To Woman” (Joe Cocker) – 7/29/23īy the time they were mid-second song of the set, “Playing With My Emotions”, Derek was on fire and the band was casually building rave-ups and handling the changing tempos like the well-oiled machine it is. With a trio of horns and a trio of backup vocalists, not to mention a pair of drummers, bassists, organists, and, of course, her husband on guitar, Tedeschi knows a happy band makes for a happy show. Kicking things off by letting the band get comfortable on “Woman To Woman” before she made her entrance, Susan Tedeschi showed how her years of stagecraft have shaped her awareness that a band this large needs space. No, the Tedeschi Trucks Band showed that it was, taken altogether as a single unit, a gathering of talent and competency rarely even dreamed of all on one stage. His wife, Susan Tedeschi, is not that far behind on the six-string and has the voice of an angel in repose to boot. It’s not an exaggeration to say that any band with Derek Trucks in it is going to blow people’s minds, he is one of the top guitarists on the planet. Tedeschi Trucks Band did more than just put on a two-night masterpiece Friday-Saturday run at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, CO over the weekend.
