Derek Trucks

I went to see Derek Trucks with little idea of what Susan Tedeschi did beyond singing. What an incredible show! Susan is a phenomenal performer. They performed well beyond midnight with extraordinary energy! One wonders if Derek and Susan speak to each other at home using their guitars : ) The whole band was unforgettable, the trumpet player is a show in himself.

Just was a great concert. The band plays so fluid, they did not miss a beat. Husband and wife make a great team. You want to hear a good Blues band. Don't miss out on this band. This is our 2nd concert and everytime we go it gets better and better.

It was a night of well chosen material performed by a very tight ensemble. One part Memphis R&B, one part Rock, one part Gospel, and one par unbridled joy, from a very well rehersed band at the top of their game. Strong lead and backing vocals belted out with true heart on sleeve emotion lifted the audience out of their seats and then to a frenzy when Derek went into his tasteful slide solos. The notes seemed to float out of his famous Gibson SG and into the Florida Theater, raining down on the wildly exuberant crowd. Susan absolutely sang her heart out and also performed some excellent guitar work of her own. I can't think of a better way to ring in the new year!

Wow ! ! ! What a great show. Gospel - Rythym & Blues - Fusion whatever they want to call it, they could have the #1 show on the planet. What an amazing band with truly great guitars, vocals, keyboards & flute. That fabulous bass and the horn section - truly awesome.

Excellent show! Great way to bring in the New Year. As for the venue, they needed more bartenders! Come on...it's New Year's Eve!

awesome new band, susan tedeschi has a powerful beautiful voice plus mike mattison and two other back up singers, and a horn section, this band was really good. the burdbrige brothers on keys and bass are also great musicians, throw in two drummers and its a hell of an ensemble

The amount of talent on display that night is not humanly measurable. Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi were pure magic, as were the rest of Soul Stew Revival. From Blues jams to old gospel staples the band didnt miss a trick. The crowd was incredibly responsive and really enhanced the mood. EVERYONE should check these guys out if given the chance.

A New Years Eve surprise over the top performance ! Someone told me Trucks was real good. Wow what an understatement, Trucks is at the top. I have enjoyed his wife's local Fla.shows for years and went to this concert to listen to her & I did, her singing was great and I hope she still will do some local shows on her own.

The Florida Theater is a very attractive indoors venue. Derek Trucks and company were amazing and delivered exactly what I expected. Great night!

The music for the most part was pretty good.There were 2 sets that I had no ideas where they were going. Susan's voice was tremendous, and so was the backup singers. This was my first time to hear them and I liked the slower sets better where Susan's voice was smooth and sultry. The crowd ,however, was terrible..drunk and would not sit down for the entire concert. One young girl beside me fell asleep because she couldn't see.

Remarkable. The show was like a religious experience. Soulful and uplifting. Derek and friends continue to get better.

The show was ok, had to leave early do to fear of failing future drug tests.

Derek and Susan were awesome!!!! Scrapomatic is as well.... loved the show, wished they had played maybe 1 more hour,it was over at 12:25, been really a nice added touch if they had played till at least 1am, 50 more mins would have been icing on the cake but awesome none the less!

Derek and band jammed like their was no tomorrow ...and WOW Susan what a voice.

great venue, great band... one of the best i have been to in years

good seats, great sound, good playlist, overall a lot of fun

Derek & Susan with their band should be a no miss show for everyone.

I've seen Derek Trucks in three settings this year with The Allman Brothers, hisown band and with Susan Tedeschi. When he strarts to play you can feel the majic of a master of his instrument. With his wife he was not as showy as I've seen with his own band or the Allmans but he was no less a great musician. perhaps better due to the restraint and taste he played with. He was more relaxed and at ease. He is often a stone face in other settings but you could see feel and hear the rapport he has with his wife. He even smiles on occassion. Susan Tedeschi also displayed her talents as a player and singer. She is a cross between Janis Joplin and Bonnie Raitt. The band is much younger than the other bands but they are all talented. Overall it was a great evening of hearing blues played the way it was meant to be played with conviction, intensity and feeling.

Guitar playing at it finest! If you have never seen Derek live and like rock and the blues you are certainly missing something. Susan singing of the blues is the best.

The show was great. Derek once again proved that he is a formable talent and one of the leading great guitar players of this era. Susan's voice is stronger and better than ever and the husband-wife combo made for a very entertaining evening. The band (all players) smoked! No weak links there for sure. The show had what I enjoy watching, good music, no smoke bombs or theatrics. The smaller venue was good as it felt like you were part of a private event.

Susan and Derick have had to work awfully hard to put together a show like this but I believe this is what was missing from the start. Maybe they were just waiting for the right time. But Susan owned all the music and Derick is comfortable anywhere. But they avoided the trap of staying in the Blues corner, and changed things up with a variety of styles, the intensity of which would appeal to the most hard core fan. Susan Tedeschi has arrived on the scene, modest yet self-assured....confident, graceful with soul-beckoning vocal riffs somewhere between Janis Joplin and Bonnie Raitt. I believe they even did a tribute song of Bonnie's. We're gonna hear alot more from these guys. This was their coming out. And how Derick continues to get better, it's just Unbelievable!!

I was somewhat reluctant to see a show at this venue after watching a concert the previous week but it turned out to be quite a show. After all was said and done, the SRO tickets I bought were worth the price for Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi Band. With minor inconveniences regarding patrons slipping in to order drinks, this did not overshadow the overall musicianship of the headliners and the supporting bandmates. Every aspect of their performance was top notch. I would match Susan Tedeschi's vocal abilities up against anyone in the music industry male or female. Her voice captured the essence of the music that the band was performing. As for Derek Trucks, he is in a league of his own. He made sounds on this guitar that I had never heard before and it just blew me away. He has truly mastered his craft and I was fortunate to witness it.

We have seen Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi with each their bands separately and they are always very good. Put them together with one band and they are awesome. Susan Tedeschi has a fantastic earthy blues voice. It is as good as any other blues singer that I have heard. And we all know that Derek Trucks is literally the best guitar player in the world at this time. Great concert!

The show was truly amazing. I not been to a live show before. I haven't seen a show where it looked like everyone was having a great time on stage. Execellent show.

after buying tickets for the concert I learned that they were playing new materials and covers. I was prepared to be disappointed. I was wrong. I am 61 yrs old and have seen many many concerts,this one was one of the best. Halfway through I turned to my wife and said, this might be the best band I ever heard. My wife is not a big music fan, but she will go to concerts with me because she enjoys the atmosphere, she looked at me and said Derek and Susan are incredable. The gentleman sitting next to me leaned over said " this is really special. I agree.It was a special night. about

Excellent show period. Together these two IMO are music royalty. Can't wait to see them again!!
