After five incredible shows, Tedeschi Trucks Band brought it all home last night with one grand finale at the Beacon Theatre in New York. The band wrapped up a six night run in style, riffing heavily on the music of The Beatles throughout the night.
The show started on a high note with “Anyday,” and kept rolling with a number of TTB classics, as well as covers of Taj Mahal and Bobby “Blue” Bland. The band dove into the Beatles extended catalog during their second set, playing George Harrison’s “Wah Wah,” “I’ve Got A Feelin’,” Paul McCartney’s “Eleanor Rigby,” as well as the encore of “With A Little Help From My Friends.”
The band also welcomed out guitarist Doyle Bramhall II, a regular collaborator during their Wheels of Soul tour this summer. Bramhall sat in for three songs, “Honest I Do,” “Simple Song” and “Higher.” Bramhall accompanied on vocals and harmonica for the first song, then picked up a guitar and traded licks with Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks to the delight of fans in attendance.
