This weekend, Tedeschi Trucks Band wrapped up their successful 2017 with their final run of shows of the year at Boston, MA’s Orpheum Theatre. The shows, as usual, featured an array of original favorites, staple covers, and a handful of surprises highlighted by stellar musicianship from Derek Trucks, Susan Tedeschi, and the rest of their band.

The band used their encore on Friday to pay tribute to legends we lost this year, including Tom Petty and Gregg Allman and Butch Trucks of the Allman Brothers Band. On Friday, night two, the band began their encore with a rendition of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers’ “You Don’t Know How It Feels”, before running through their own “I Want More” and, finally, the Allmans’ “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed”.
