After three nights at the Warner Theater in Washington D.C., Tedeschi Trucks Band wheeled through to the Municipal Auditorium last night in Charleston, West Virginia. Husband and wife duo Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi led their 12-piece powerhouse through originals and covers to the delight of their fans.
Opening with Derek & The Dominoes‘ “Anyday,” the band charged through to Made Up My Mind’s “Do I Look Worried” and followed their 2013 original with a more recent classic “Don’t Know What It Means” to get the energy high and lead straight into Joe Cocker‘s “The Letter.” The band continued with originals “Right On Time” and “Crying Over You” before introducing “Color of the Blues,” a song by John Prine that features Susan Tedeschi on vocals.
Mavis Staples’ “Freedom Highway” led into another powerful “Let Me Get By” and “How Blue Can You Get” before beautifully closing with “I Wish I Knew” and “Idle Wind.” The band returned to the stage for a “Bound For Glory” encore.
