Gathering of the Vibes is a festival that will forever live in our hearts, and the memories still remain as some of the best ever. Back in 2008, Derek Trucks & Susan Tedeschi were billed to play, showcasing the fine combination of the Derek Trucks Band and Susan Tedeschi’s Soul Stew Revival. The couple, who had been married for seven years, played in their respective bands, but eventually merged in 2011 after years of joint performances.
The magic from the early days in the couple’s collaborations are responsible for what would become the famed and glorified, multi-Grammy Award-winning 12-piece Tedeschi Trucks Band ensemble. While always welcoming original songs, the two have never been shy to throw in some invigorating covers, like “Get Out Of My Life, Woman” and “Hey Jude”. The 2008 set was nothing short of spectacular, and a fun moment to step back in time with.
