Review:
Tedeschi Trucks Band, B.B. King at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, 8/30/12
By Jason Blevins | September 4th, 2012

If ever dueling electric guitars can sound romantic, Derek Trucks and his wife Susan Tedeschi can make it happen. 

Trucksí raging fingerpicking slide melded with Tedeschiís soulful tone Thursday at Red Rocks, swelling the 
swollen venue with their swooning sound. Backed by a nine-piece band ñ including two drummers, three brass 
blasters and two back-up singers ñ the six-stringing couple shredded through a nearly two-hour set that saw 
echoes of Stevie Wonder and Bill Withers swirl with Professor Longhair and Bonnie Raitt, all backdropped 
with Trucksí masterful old-school blues riffs.

Trucks was barely a teenager when he began fronting the Allman Brothers Band, his back turned to the audience 
as he faced his uncle Butch on drums. Today the still bashful, baby-faced yet bearded 33-year-old blues 
legend turns halfway to the crowd, facing his wife as he rips his signature Gibson SG. Trucks lays low 
when Tedeschi sings ñ like in the early ìEchoes Of My Mindî ñ but cranks up the wattage with succulent 
jamming in tunes like ìBound For Gloryî and ìShelter.î Joined briefly by his longtime cohort on bass, 
Todd Smallie, in ìGet What You Deserve,î Trucks flourished in an intricately assembled moment of improvisation. 
For ìMidnight in Harlem,î Trucks led his betrothed in a winding jam that revealed just how far singer-songwriter 
Tedeschi has come on the six string since marrying her guitar hero. 

Truly both can carry their own bands, but the merger of their two formerly independent outfits has obviously 
smoothed their rambling lives ñ they often tour with their two kids ñ and provided fans a chance to marvel at 
the double-barreled virtuosity that is the Tedeschi Trucks Band.
 
The band is touring with blues king B.B. King, who opened the nearly sold-out show fronting an eight-piece band. 
Cradling his Gibson ìLucille,î the 86-year-old swaggered through a moving set, stopping only to remove his 
necklace and rings, which his helpers distributed to wheelchaired rockers in the front row as he crooned 
ìSomeone Really Loves You.î
 
At 86, King sings with passion and plays with fire, but the ever-touring guitar giantís days at Red Rocks 
are likely numbered. In ìKey To The Highway,î King rumbled ìI wonít be back no moreî asking for ìone more kiss, 
darling, just before I go.î
 
And, as the full moon peaked from behind a pocket of cloud, more than 9,000 stomped and hollered in an 
ecstatic, moving embrace of the greatest blues guitarist of all time.
