That's the privilege of living in Europe where they're less famous. They were hanging at the merch stand after their show and they're indeed two of the sweetest artists I've ever met. Derek even gave me his bottleneck when I told him that I started to play slide guitar because of him. One of the best shows of my life :-) Thanks for your video!

Tedeschi Trucks and Michael Palmisano. I'm in.

RIP Kofi Burbridge on keys & flute

Two ridiculously talented singers, one with the voice, the other with fingers. And the band, so tight, no one is sitting on the wrong chair.

Kofi definitely left us too soon. He was the unsung hero of that band for so long.

I too absolutely love Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi (along with the rest of the Tedeschi-Trucks Band). Not only are they incredibly talented musicians, with Derek being the greatest slide guitarist on the planet IMO and Susan having a phenomenal blues vocalist whose voice oozes soul, but they are also incredibly nice people.

I miss Kofi Burbridge so bad every time I hear one of these, he brought so much greatness to this band.

I bought a front row seat for my bday at the famous Ryman Auditorium this past February and all I wanted was to hear Susan sing Angel>Sugaree and I got my wish. I’ll never forget it. ❤️ Susan, Derek and the amazing Band! Can’t wait to see you again. I’ll be at your first show regardless of where or when.

Best music ever. Love from the Netherlands.

Derek and Susan are simply a treasure. I can't think of a better live show you would want to see. Each performance is a masterclass in musicianship.

When Susan was a new artist I was privileged to watch her captivate an audience with just her guitar and voice and I was hooked instantly. She is a treasure

harmony is perfect each instrument in its right place

That little bit of dirt in her guitar and her gravely voice is perfect.

I've started a "when this crap is over I'm going to see them live" list. They are on it.

Susan's voice just keeps getting better and better. It's great to watch. Derek is a musician's musician and he is so keyed on Susan for dynamic changes and just super supportive of her musically speaking. As you say attentive. Attentiveness is about the best trait in a musician.

The band is simply selfless. No ego... being attentive supporting the song and each other.

They were my last show before covid hit. Seeing Derek live is something else, but seeing how he drirects that monster of a band using the most subtle of body language and music cues was probably the most impressive thing I've ever seen. It's so good.

And...That's the good stuff! I can't think of a guitar player who wouldn't be overshadowed by Derek, but she is an incredible player in her own right and obviously an apex singer. The cohesiveness of this band is stunning. Also, I must say, that was the best flute solo I've ever heard. LoL

Susan Tedeschi --- one of the greatest voices in the business and another musician who "extends the line" ...

100% on best live band now

TTB performing “Angel From Montgomery/Sugaree” is the BEST thing I have EVER seen on KZfaq!!! Nice to know someone else is as big a fan of this amazing band of musicians.

I’ve watched this Tedeschi Trucks tune over and over and over...so powerful. I don’t “know” music, just feel it, so your tutorial helps me appreciate what I’m feeling while watching it.

Best live act in the world. No doubt. Thanks for an awesome reaction video!

I was truly blessed to have seen this very band with the flautist, Kofi Burbage, on a few occasions. Such a beautiful young man taken from us far to soon. Very nice breakdown, brother. It is much appreciated.

Absolutely love this band. You have to listen to Midnight in Harlem. This is awesome too. Incredible musicianship.

Mattson (backup singer you mentioned) was the lead singer for the Derek Trucks Band prior to the bands merging and he has co-written some of their songs.

The first time I heard Susan sing and play I was on maui... sitting in my car ... andpaeked on a side street... suddenly I heard this voice ... and I just sat there staring.. like a fool .. a few minute later I nearly started crying .. the emotion was so powerful ... she reminds me of some one that I knew .. her expressions .. my mother had similar expressions and had died a few years previous.. ot was such a great song and at the same time was sadd and happy ... memories... any way .... as I watched her I thought darn I'm I'n love . she really has a wonderful vibe .. S great

This made me miss live music so much. I look forward to the day when I can see TTB in person again. Best band on the planet.

This is the first “reaction video” I’ve ever watched, and I didn’t have high hopes, I just clicked because I love TTB and I know Susan kills Angel of Montgomery. But it really brought me a lot of joy to see how moved you were. You looked as if you were close to tearing up. That’s the power of music! I love that. I’ve been fortunate to see them many times. Then I watched your video of Midnight in Harlem. I share your reverence for Derek Trucks. You really know your music theory. I wish I had stuck with an instrument instead of wanting to play everything. Anyway, you are the kind of person I’d love to spend time with. I’ll be checking out more videos, I’m sure. Thanks!

I booked tickets for Susan tedeschi boch Wang theater Friday oct 4 Boston balcony seats I'm so in love with her bluesy rock music God Almighty hell of an amazing artist and I'm gonna melt in my shoes I'm crying listening to angel Montgomery God bless you my friend

I've seen them do this song live 4 times and it delivers the shivers everytime

I love your love for just great music and musicianship

I just recently saw TTB in Red Bank, NJ in March of this year. completely, totally blown away. one of the comments below on how Derek directs the band with the slightest of movements, nods, turns, etc. He broke a string on stage, one of the roadies brought out another guitar but Derek had him bring a string. Derek had the keyboad player take on a solo while he changed his guitar string right on stage and the band just kept on playing a very complex rythym. crazy. Susan's voice is so far past 4 dimensions hearing her live will make you cry if you have a heartbeat. just looking at other tour dates now. Beacon theater NY in OCT!

I'm glad we agree about the essence in this band. I followed their Swamp Family shows all through the Spring and Summer. Beautiful, all of it. Such emotion.

Saw them this past weekend at the Chicago theater, she walked out on crutches because she tore her meniscus dancing at the green mill the night before and she ripped it! Your story about her being sick reminded me. Also they covered angels from Montgomery that night.

"Things just start to click if you don't quit on you..." - LIFE LESSON - for free no less. At 49 I can attest that this accounts for 87% of the good shit in my life. Maybe 89%, maybe :-)

There are two bands, in my opinion , that are the greatest on this planet at this moment. TTB and Snarky Puppy. Both bands contains musicians that play in favour of the band (besides the fact that they are individually outstanding musicians). It’s absolutely a joy to listen to them.

my wife and I planned our family vacation around their tour this year. Saw them in Chicago two nights, Milwaukee BMO and then at Red Rocks. We love their energy so much!

The first time I heard Susan singing I realised I will never be the kind of singer or musician I want to be because she exists! Angel/sugaree was the first song I heard her sing

Thanks so much for yet another amazing REACT video, Michael. And Susan Tedeschi...wow. Absolutely incredible. What a musician, performer, singer, guitarist...everything.

I decided that I'm going to sign up for your lessons, as a Christmas gift from my wife. I've been playing about twelve years and know the most important basic things about keys and the proper chord, knowing how to embellish just a little bit. Your playing style is superb, and I want to learn as much from you as possible. Keep doing this, please!!

I just saw them for the second time in Toronto, and as a Deadhead, i was pumped to get this combo at our show!

All of there background singer are great !!! Alicia is my favorite watch her solo on bound for glory!

Absolutely the best band in the land these days! Seen em several times and they NEVER disappoint, so powerful are they and so TOGETHER, each having the others’ musical backs! Thanks for doing this one Michael it is one of my faves. ✌️

RIP Kofi! You are sorely missed, my friend! Big part of the soul of the Derek Trucks Band and TTB. They were the last band I saw live before the lockdown as well. With so many moving parts, it would be easy for that to turn into a muddy mess, but they handle it so well! I would probably agree with best live band around now (or Widespread Panic!). Always fun to see how bands react to adversity, because they all have it! Jerry was famous for flubbing lyrics, I saw Greggory flub more than one verse too, JB, hell no telling where he's going sometimes, but they never fall off of that tightrope! I saw Susan open for the ABB sometime in the late 90s, maybe 2000, and had never heard of her. Well, I certainly left that show knowing who she is!

Great comment about the mastery of this Band. They play with incredible dynamics. Know when to be subtle and when to blow ya face off! 😂❤

If you like these guys, maybe you should do some Govt Mule beautifully broken but the version has when doves cry mixed in it’s amazing

It's definitely a real band! It's ALL ABOUT the song...everyone (the band) listens to each other!

Palmisano: watch how attentive Derek is to Susan. Derek: I was so attentive I didn’t even take the stage. Lol....I’m playing, Michael. I’ve been to so many shows I get them mixed up sometimes too. Love your reactions, keep em’ coming. RIP Kofi❤️✌🏼

Im a fan of your reaction to Susan tedeschi awesome job dude

As a Jax native, I can’t tell you how proud I am of them! Never met them, but they seem like down to earth folks...who happen to be loaded to the hilt with talent!! ✌🏻🎸

The first time I found Derek and Susan, it was in a video of an all-star jam session with Clapton, BB King, and I believe Mark Knopfler. It seemed the producer wanted to focus on Clapton and King, and thought "Forget these other guys" whenever someone else played. I was like "Hey, I want to see more of that slide guy!!!" LOL But of course, Clapton and King handled it like they professionals they are and tried to share the spotlight with everyone.

I came here from that fabulous rehearsal video of Them with Taj Mahal and Leaving Trunk and everything you said about them is spot on. Even in their rehearsals its a must watch. All of this reminds me of good days when I was young.

No fight from me. 100% the best band in the land!!!! And RIP Kofi.

I have seen TTB 3 times. They are the best out there right now!

Saw TTB at the Ryman right before shutdown. Got to talk briefly to Derek and Sue after the show. Just a magical experience all around!!

Your passion is palpable. Thank you!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 ❤️❤️❤️Tedeschi Trucks!!

I'm with you on the passion level for this band....GOAT out there now...🎙🎤🎸🎺

You have impeccable tastes my friend. In my heaven the angels sing like Susan and the harps sound like Derek's guitar.

The music and tune when the singer sings "Make me an angel" is so simple, and so achingly beautiful. John Prine (who wrote the song) was a genius.

I’ve discovered soooooooo much great music from this channel. Love you Michael keep bringing the goodness

Just occurred to me how cool it is. Derek didn’t play, maybe because that was a song when Susan was solo. And yes, this is by far my favorite band!!!

Michael...glad I ran into the post. I have been drawn to the Tedeschi Trucks band for many years, and for obvious reason. I love how you break down the entire song, on behalf of the band. You're refreshing to watch and to pick up on maybe the "not so obvious" things in music" keep up the great content...Much appreciated!

Michael.....first...i don't play music...I'm a listener..as I watch your expressions I listen just like that hearing all that is going on as it's going on ... I need to learn how to play befor I die ... wish I tried sooner ...pushing 65 ....love what you do

Saw them last month at their NYC residency 2021. Awesome at always!!!!. Good luck bumping into them.

Welcome to Jax! We have lived in Fernandina Beach for 18 years. Tedeschi Trucks is the best band on the planet!!!!

Bonnie Raitt covering this early in her career is another sonic gem. Wonderland video. So smooth and melodic.

Saw her perform Sugaree for the First Time ever live with The Other Ones in 2002. You should have seen the standing ovation and cheers. I told her that I remembered when I first met her.

Not just tones but they define clear lanes of frequency that they pretty much stay in. When mixing it's obviously one of their most important tasks.

World class musicianship ! Nice comments and well done reactions in your video ....

Thank you Mr Palmisano for a perfect break to the work day and giving us all some space! That little run you play at 8:04 is beautiful!

Love love love Derek and Susan ❤

Saw Bonnie play this at Magfest and it left me a crying mess in the middle of that SOSMP field. Susan pays respect and plays those characters so well.

The back round singer is easy on the eyes...she beautiful

First time I seen Derek Truck was in 2001 at the Beacon with Butch Trucks, as well Blues Traveler. Always a big Allman brothers fan( and i think they always play the best shows at the Beacon NYC, as i seen them over10 times, 6 times @ Beacon)big Warren Haynes, but after that show Derek became my guitar hero. What an amazing show. Here this young kid is playing with one of the best and oldest jam bands still rocking at what age 20 21yrs when I seen him. Just wow.

Hot damn, I got chills from that man. I love tedeshi trucks band

They are a group beyond ... I tour with these guys & JRAD on a fulltime basis of course I see D&C & mini tours /Wolf Bros is in there some where.

Miss Kofi so much. What a brilliant musician ..................

Your urge to share your deep feelings about this music is very touching. Bless you, Michael.

Surgaree - turned my Wife into a Jerry fan 30 or so years ago. A fourteen minute live Jerry Garcia Band boot legged off the radio. I think there is a BW video out there... great song great version... Love it! Probably my favorite Dead tune. Thanks for the video.

TTB is without a doubt the best live band around these days. Every member is a badass playing their instrument and each vocalist could front their own bands. As for the "space" when they play, they do what all great musicians do - they listen to what is being played. It's such a simple concept yet many players can't seem to grasp it. I never thought I'd hear power coming from the stage after The Brothers called it quits but TTB thankfully proved me wrong! As for them getting no airplay or so many people being unaware of them - they're too damn good and the masses settle for way less.

Yes, I agree. They are so good.

Your point about "leave some space" landed perfectly. These guys make it feel like voice fits and fills perfectly every time.

They did a private show at my store once and they just blew the place away

Susan’s voice is brilliant!!

Wow..space. room. Yup. You nailed it...sorry....they CRUSH it 😊😊😊..their entourage is top talent...eloquently said. Love all their works...

They are right up there for sure...

When you walk me through it, some times just by your facial expression, I learn why this band is my favorite. I am not musician. There are just some things that stay with me, and until I found your channel, I did not know why. I may not understand some of the things you explain but It doesn't matter, because now I am noticing those little things and learning.

How did I miss this reaction?... I'm still working now to back then I suppose... slays me every time I hear them play. Every. Time.

Saw the Tedeschi Trucks band last year with my Dad - simply the best show I've ever been to. And love your analysis and insight as ever MP!

Their version from Austin posted here on KZfaq I have watched over a thousand times. The part where Derek finally comes back on stage for Sugaree gives me shivers every.single.time. TTB is an absolutely brilliant band.

Sugaree is the Dead song I "love to hate," but this version makes me realize it's a pretty damn good song!

I'm going to see Susan tedeschi boch Wang theater Friday oct 4 Boston I'm a huge fan of her bluesy rock music

I love your videos Micheal! You have a really outstanding way of expressing yourself and the way you approach things is consistently fascinating!

I'm going to see Susan tedeschi boch Wang theater Friday oct 4 Boston I'm looking forward to seeing her Im a huge fan

Wanted you to react to this for so long! Classic tune from some of the best in the game right now, Trucks is next level. Scarily good. Hope you and the fam are all safe and well, have a good one man!

Dude! You are cool as hell. Your vids kick ass. Thanks for what you do.

I discovered Tedeschi Trucks band on the Chevy Commercial. !! LOL..Susan's voice , Derek the guitar prodigy...I picked em out. "That is NO jingle babe...that girls voice , who is that playing, the tune...AMAZING VIBE...Now they are my favorite band of all time !! SOUL IS BACK IN !!!! Like discovering plutonium, Ha!

Dude I fucking love you I saw Derek and the band a few years ago at the blues festival in Australia and Derek played with a broken finger!!!! The gig was so sick!!! Best band!!!

Saving this video for later - you have killer insight and I love everything TTB and everything guitar so I know I'll dig this video.
