February 27, 2012 | 4:36 Susan Tedeschi, Derek Trucks, & Warren Haynes perform "I'd Rather Go Blind" at In Performance at the White House: Red, White, and Blues accompanied by the White House band featuring Booker T.
I've watched this 50+ times and every time the hairs on my arms stand up during Derek Trucks solo. This is what music is about. What a performance from everyone. The performance and the audience there with every note.
@@Kenroadrunner That’s also one of my favorite duets with Beth and Joe, along with ‘I’ll Take Care of You’. Just awesome, as is this! As for them playing in the White House for the Obama’s - well, that’s another story I won’t even touch (I’m sure you can guess my thoughts on this subject)?!
How lil squeaky voice Susan can get that dirty sound out of her voice always gets to me. A nicer couple you will never meet. Susan and Derek... Great job!
+Vernon Allen I ran into them at a trader joes in emeryville ca the day of the show at the greek theater in berkeley , of course i was going , we hung out talked , and I told susan if you play angel from montgomery(my fav) they're going to have to peel me off the floor..she played it and dedicated it me !!!...6/6/2016 it's on you tube , but not the dedication...they are totally awesome and the best R&B band out there!!
This gives me cold chills!!! I have played this so many times. Susan & Warren, are so good and DEREK TRUCKS takes this song places it's never been. I wish everyone could hear this.
I think she possesses a sound that many, many women in rock can only hope to achieve. I believe there are songs that are written with a voice like hers in mind. I'm not even a fan of that kind of music but I really do like her.
MrMarkpark The Blues is a celebration of hard times , If you never had a rough time in life , you simply cannot sing with that pain in your voice ...Thhis is a fact . You gotta feel it from your heart & soul
MrMarkpark and the more you hear her, the better you like her. Derick Trucks and Warren Hays are Blues Icons but Susan has something very special, I do not know what is is but, Etta had it Elmore had it as well. If you can hear Elmore James with out tapping your feet, call the coroner, cause your dead.
@@paulmorris8762 Thank you. This was a good version but I've heard good versions all over the place. Beth Hart is definitely the leader of this category.
Etta was the great originator of this song. Didn't think anyone could sing it better than Beth Hart, until I saw this. Susan T kills it on the very same level as Beth Hart! Love Warren and Derek too! This is a five star performance hands down.
Had not seen the Beth Hart version (w. Joe Bonamassa) until I saw it referenced in some comments here. Beth and Joe definitely left it all out on the floor, but to me Beth is more Joplin than Etta, and my personal preference stays with Susan.
@@janflewelling6277 I also never thought I’d hear a great performance of this song other than the one that Beth Hart did with Joe Bonamassa, until I heard this one! But, as a comparison of Susan’s voice with that of Janis Joplin, I think Joss Stone is more similar to Janis’s, esp with her rendition of a ‘Piece of My Heart’, live in Suica concert! Joss really nails it in this one - and I personally like it better than the one by Janis! However, back to this one - ❤ it with them together, and Susan’s voice shines ✨!
This is my #1 all-time blues performance. Trucks’s AM radio-like bottleneck blues tone, Tedeschi’s vocals, and Haynes’s tasty little fills just make this thing ethereal. It gives me chills every time I listen, and I’ve watched this video dozens of times. “I was just… I was just… I was just sittin’ here thinkin’…” hits me in the feels like nothing else. I’d give my left arm to see these three in concert in a small venue like that.
Mike Rodgers sorry dude....it’s not about ranking the greats. Even Derek cites Warren as an influence. Try to enjoy the music without the petty comparisons. Peace.
This is the best live performance available on YT imo. I’ve made my wife cry too before when I let the soul flag fly high (Otis Redding-These Arms Of Mine) but Derek takes it to a higher level not attainable by us mere mortals. And Warren’s opening notes in F Maj just slay me. Politics has no business here. The White House just happened to be the venue that night...
Its a shame that grown people cannot sit and listen and watch some of the most talented and fantastic people entertaining whoever. And not get in some kind of mouthy crap about race. Whether you are black or white if you can strut it and shape it and make it happen like this. Its incredible. Obama has good taste in blues...regardless who's playing it. Its a music thing not a race thing....I am a musician and a singer and I love all genre's. But some of your comments on here are truly illiterate and should be removed.
LOL. Nah. It was more like a sign for Derek not to make turn around and prepare to get back into the song, 3:21 "Look at me, damn it, so I can give this sign to you. Here, look, I'm taking the microphone, still facing at you. We're getting back to the song! " then a head small twitch "Get back there, now... *I would rather*...!!*"
This really is a tight blues statement from peeps who love each other. The nods of the head. They know they nailed it, and they nailed it because this is where they live..in the music. 3 greats.
Wow! What power-house front line on this great tune! Heart-wrenching vocals and killer solos from both Trucks and Haynes. I love these folks more every time I hear them. The backing musicians are right on the money also. p.s. It's nice to have a Prez that appreciates and supports this music!
For this generation, you may never ever hear this song sang any greater than what you will hear here. This little lady can sing brother. She is the real deal. No hit and miss here. Boy what talent.
+Bob Cardenaz Yeah buddy..ol' Rod does some of the best arrangements and productions going...and his VOICE really rises to the occasion. I really like his cover of "This ol' heart" w/Ron Isley belting it out too!! WOW... so many GREAT choices.. :-)
Damn they all sound incredibly good together. I love Susan's vocals- puts me in mind of older Bonnie Raitt. Consummate American blues musicians right there on stage.
Check out the couple at the side of the stage at 2:56. In the presence of greatness like this and she looks like she is bored out of her mind. Probably one of those "if it isnt about me then it cant be very important" type of person. My god I would have given everything I have and then some more to have witnessed this live.
+daniel morris A lot of whites can't take the blues. They have no rhythm and no experience of that depth of emotion in real life. She looks just like one of them. Frigid, bored, and can't be bothered.
+Sam Adams +daniel morris You guys sure are making some big assumptions based on a few seconds of video shot from across the room. You know nothing about those people, but your willingness to make such judgements makes you both look worse than what you're attempting to project onto them.
+fretbuzz59 And yet by saying that you are judging us Mr Fretbuzz. Just admit we are all guilty of making assumptions and commenting on others. Even you too. I was attempting to be humourous with my comments, so just relax, please. And truthfully, I stand behind what i said. She does look bored out of her mind.
+daniel morris Yes, I made a judgment based on YOUR OWN WORDS, not something intangible. If you had simply said that she looks bored, I wouldn't have bothered to reply. It's easy for someone to LOOK bored, whether they are or not. It was the stuff that seemed unnecessarily harsh that prompted my response. Accusing someone of narcissism isn't "humorous."
Also, as a musician, i would savor and relish the opportunity to play for the President of the United Fucking States of America, be it George W, OR Obama. U see that joy on the president's face? That is him seizing the rare opportunity in the Leader of the Free World's schedule to enjoy a rare soulful thing in life outside of the day to day hollowness of american politics. Dont criticize, let him (or any other president) enjoy the moment.
Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks were one in heaven, and when they came to earth they came a little undone. But if you saw it from the stars, you'd see no space between them.
moseseseseses LOL So you think somehow that this ONE performance has 'put them on the map '? In case you didn't know, they have been on the map for quite some time. Derek has been playing professionally since around age 11 Warren Haynes has played with the Allman Bros Band for several years, He was also a founding member of Government Mule and the Warren Haynes Band. Derek Trucks has also played in the ABB with his uncle Butch on drums. He has toured with all the greats including Eric Clapton. He and his wife Susan now have the Trucks/ Tedeschi Band. So they all have been mega stars WAY LONG BEFORE this little gig at the White House The world is their map.
I am a Republican, in theory anyway, but this has to be the best president (musically) we ever had! Great taste in music! So glad to see such talent given their due! Kudos to you, President & Mrs. Obama!
He has good taste in music. Americans just as a point make great music it is the only time we are every deeply in love with our neighbor is when we sing.
JJJZANESVILLE2 sje os a hreat singer and one. helluva musicin ferek is also agtrat slid gutarist takrs after jis fad who. eas in the abb band he was yhe dtummer also swesome
I agree Britt. Music is the ONLY universal language of LOVE. If more people lived with the passion to appreciate that fact, it would seem the world wouldn't seem as mean and cruel as it to often does.
First of all, I am so proud of a President of the United States that would offer his home for an in home concert by 3 of the greatest current blues players in the country and you knew he was digging it. I can never get enough of these three together. They play off of each other so well.
Wow. Just wow. Warren sings, and it's pretty good. Susan takes over and blows my mind. Then Derek lets loose an amazing-as-always soul-o. So many fantastic covers of this song, but this one is my favourite... so far.
Good God the woman can sing. Dereks a slidin' genius. And Warren's the icing on the cake. WOW! The only thing that would make it better is if the Obamas were back in the White House.
Just enjoy the blues, forget politics for this brief moment. All of us, yeah you too, even if we are opposite, come here, sit down and enjoy the blues with us.
I had never heard of Warren Haynes until just now. If I could sing like that, I would die happy. Wow! Of course Susan (I discovered her yesterday) is excellent.
@@hankrango105 Well, i came here to hear a blues band, then i saw divisive Obama who gave all that money to Iran, sitting there with his hard-done-by-victim wife.
I was enjoying this greatly then I saw disingenuous political figures trying to feign interest. Then I had to sign in and make this stupid comment. Do you know Thomas Campbell? Look it up ...My-Big-Toe. Time to begin learning again. Great song here but what is important?
Gd. Can you imagine that the Obama WH convened such a gathering of musicians all celebrating the American born and refined tradition? This is what a leader of a country celebrating its history is. Doubtless the successor had no idea who these people are, which is why the WH went into artistic oblivion. There is more to being president that politics.
Charles you must have nodded off mid sentence. You were saying white people are good at imitating...imitating what? Answer carefully unless you want to come across as a bigot.
charles blaisdell I believe they say it's the greatest form of flattery. But if you really get into the mind, heart and soul you may find that it's far more than imitation. Sometimes for various reasons we can tap into a field of knowledge or even past events that takes us into another aspect or level of ourselves. It gives credence to the fact that humanity is truly one. Sometimes we can truly become one with another and when that happens it's magic.
I was listening to some great music, and then , all of a sudden, the camera pans to the biggest traitor in the history of the USA. I couldn't continue.
Warren Haynes has an outstanding blues voice, and Susan can wail. Warren and Derek are simply amazing. Enough said
Her voice is just stunning and Trucks solo is just superb. Thanks so much for sharing this.
The vocals are so awesome! and THEN.....that moment when Derek plays that solo. Wow.
I've watched this 50+ times and every time the hairs on my arms stand up during Derek Trucks solo. This is what music is about. What a performance from everyone. The performance and the audience there with every note.
agree
You need to see the Joe Bonnamassa version with Beth Hart
Incredible performance
@@Kenroadrunner That’s also one of my favorite duets with Beth and Joe, along with ‘I’ll Take Care of You’. Just awesome, as is this! As for them playing in the White House for the Obama’s - well, that’s another story I won’t even touch (I’m sure you can guess my thoughts on this subject)?!
3:15 When your wife almost cries at your solo
Shit. I almost cried :P
Shit...you, me, Susan, Warren, and everyone who's ever played guitar cries every time he blasts into one of those solos. :-)
I cried...52 yo 6' 4" hammer swingin' street fighter...it kills me.
I have...I cried
Perform with your wife... What a wonderful thing to be able to do. Peace and love from England.
I love the quick smile on Warren Haynes face when Trucks finishes his solo. They all knew the solo was just killer.
I think the same !!!
They are both such humble people.
Even George Washington in the background was like damn that was good
stevevr1965 lmao
Amazing!!
How lil squeaky voice Susan can get that dirty sound out of her voice always gets to me. A nicer couple you will never meet. Susan and Derek... Great job!
+Vernon Allen I ran into them at a trader joes in emeryville ca the day of the show at the greek theater in berkeley , of course i was going , we hung out talked , and I told susan if you play angel from montgomery(my fav) they're going to have to peel me off the floor..she played it and dedicated it me !!!...6/6/2016 it's on you tube , but not the dedication...they are totally awesome and the best R&B band out there!!
+mongobanger 6/6/2016 hasn't happened yet
+Jake Rittlinger +Jake Rittlinger i meant 2015, please forgive me..:) too bad you can't post pict , i got a pict of us 3 at the trader joe's yes!!
I actually got the chills thanks Tedeski Trucks. Etta would be proud
precision- if this performance gave you the chills, catch Beth Hart's rendition with Joe Bonamassa's- goosebumps all over again!
Love her and Derek. Beautiful voice
And warren ?
@@seabrookthemagnificent9580 for me this one is better ... just for derek and warren
Tears. I cry for beauty and joy-never for death. PEACE
This gives me cold chills!!! I have played this so many times. Susan & Warren, are so good and DEREK TRUCKS takes this song places it's never been. I wish everyone could hear this.
Two of the absolute greatest guitarists you will ever see playing in the same song....
That's no lie..
allman brothers
@@guillermorodriguez8488 Susan's a pretty mean guitarist in her own right - I am so into the Tedeschi Trucks band right now!!
@@brendav7 yep! She must have said.... "OK... OK... since it's both you guys, I guess I'll just sing like an angel on this one."
Oh to be president and get to have Warren Haynes play your living room.
right..... must be Nice
no kidding huh
Don't get much better than that.
Charlie Mopps Since we paid for it, we should have been invited!!
+Charlie Mopps omg! that would be tits, If I was Obama i would have jumped up on the stage and kissed Susan hard and hugged the rest!
Rarely does a performance get me choked up simply because it is so damn good. This one did just that.
+grenadeserenade CHECK OUT , PLAYING FOR CHANGE COVER ITS SMOKIN
Don't feel bad it was so good i kicked a baby...
👍agreed! Three enormous talents for sure
amazing!!
Artistry and chemistry overflowing
I think she possesses a sound that many, many women in rock can only hope to achieve. I believe there are songs that are written with a voice like hers in mind. I'm not even a fan of that kind of music but I really do like her.
Listen to "Id Rather Go Blind" by Joe Bonamassa and Beth Hart. She's amazing!
MrMarkpark you do not have to be a fan to enjoy blues. You only need a ear.
MrMarkpark The Blues is a celebration of hard times , If you never had a rough time in life , you simply cannot sing with that pain in your voice ...Thhis is a fact . You gotta feel it from your heart & soul
MrMarkpark Well said sir, well said.
MrMarkpark and the more you hear her, the better you like her. Derick Trucks and Warren Hays are Blues Icons but Susan has something very special, I do not know what is is but, Etta had it Elmore had it as well. If you can hear Elmore James with out tapping your feet, call the coroner, cause your dead.
Thats one thing about the Obama's they sure did bring some great musical performances to the white house...
THATS BECAUSE THE MAN HAS SOUL!
Yes he does and Michelle is the coolest first lady!
Haha... unlike some of his predecessors? :p
Token Whitey's
What are you trying to say? You're not looking forward to the next Secretary of State Ted Nugent playing there next year? #Trump2016 ... ;)
Tedeschi belts it out of the park every frealkin' time...
Nobody sings like Susan, regardless of era. She is an all-time great.
Etta, is smiling!
maybe but the Joe Bonamassa / Beth Hart version of this knocks the song out of the park
@@paulmorris8762 Thank you. This was a good version but I've heard good versions all over the place. Beth Hart is definitely the leader of this category.
@@paulmorris8762 Bonamassa is a blues robot. Derek blows him out of the water any day.
Derek´s SG does.
3:19 Derek hits Warren right in the soul.
Either that or Susan ripped a silent one...
Derek and Warren have a LONG History together.
Etta was the great originator of this song. Didn't think anyone could sing it better than Beth Hart, until I saw this. Susan T kills it on the very same level as Beth Hart! Love Warren and Derek too! This is a five star performance hands down.
Amazing!!

@@elainemeyer5062 To clarify, my comparison to Janis was Beth's version, Susan is closer to Etta in my opinion.
I can see why The Allman Brothers chose Warren Haynes. He’s a beast at guitar and singing
Haynes is very good but he's not in the same class as Derek trucks
Mike Rodgers sorry dude....it’s not about ranking the greats. Even Derek cites Warren as an influence. Try to enjoy the music without the petty comparisons. Peace.
@@mikerodgers167 And of course Derek would be the better singer if ... ;-)
Yep & Derek growing up with His uncle Butch Trucks drumming for the Allman Brothers....
@@randylahey5456 well said sir.

And Warren’s opening notes in F Maj just slay me. Politics has no business here. The White House just happened to be the venue that night...
Because we had a president that appreciated art, not just the art of the deal.
I don't think any guitar playing has ever moved me like Derek's
Warren's vocal was really strong here and his guitar licks are so delicious.. much respect.
Derek is an "old soul", his style and his sound are so passionate and powerful and mature...
Its a shame that grown people cannot sit and listen and watch some of the most talented and fantastic people entertaining whoever. And not get in some kind of mouthy crap about race. Whether you are black or white if you can strut it and shape it and make it happen like this. Its incredible. Obama has good taste in blues...regardless who's playing it.

Amen brother. This music is about the heart and soul. It has nothing to do with politics. Just sit back and enjot!
3 legends leaving it all out there for us to enjoy! Thank you Thank you Thank you, Derek, Susan, and Warren!!!
The way Susan looks at Derek at 3:18 just melts your heart. Have you ever seen someone so proud of their love?
LOL.
Nah. It was more like a sign for Derek not to make turn around and prepare to get back into the song,
3:21 "Look at me, damn it, so I can give this sign to you. Here, look, I'm taking the microphone, still facing at you. We're getting back to the song! " then a head small twitch "Get back there, now... *I would rather*...!!*"
+Lica Metal musician
Looks more like shes wants that D
It’s one of the best solos of his (IMO) I’d be staring the same way lol (like “god dammmmn man!!! Woooo”)
My favorite thing about his solos is its not about shredding it’s about the emotive sound, and melody ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Man this was REALLY GOOD and I loved EVERY minute of it , the singing and the Guitar Playing were so so good !!!!!!
This is it folks! It's the spirit of Duane, of Jerry and of Janis. The talent pours out on to the floor...simply stunning!
And Etta
Susan is a fantastic blues singer! - Love it.
Powerful rendition by three of the most talented musicians on earth. Enjoy their music while they play. Truly modern day masters of tier craft.
No doubt!
This really is a tight blues statement from peeps who love each other. The nods of the head. They know they nailed it, and they nailed it because this is where they live..in the music. 3 greats.
yes
Wow! What power-house front line on this great tune! Heart-wrenching vocals and killer solos from both Trucks and Haynes. I love these folks more every time I hear them. The backing musicians are right on the money also.

For this generation, you may never ever hear this song sang any greater than what you will hear here. This little lady can sing brother. She is the real deal. No hit and miss here. Boy what talent.
Miss Etta and Doc John. Never matched.
Hell, Warren sings it better than her!
That's for sure,we are not being deprived of a truly great blues singer. Comparable to any any generation.
😉 maybe u never listened 2 this: th-cam.com/video/UEHwO_UEp7A/w-d-xo.html
Beth Hart. Kennedy Center Honors is pretty damn good, too.
The look on Warren's face at about 3:20 when Derek is soloing suggests he's on stage with a guitar GOD.
Just human...
Warren Haynes...................THE MAN
i have heard a lot of great versions of this beautiful song and this is one of the best
Wow! Susan knows how to sing with her soul!
I'm amazed once again!
Does Etta proudly!!! OUTSTANDING!! Best cover I know of....
+Jerry Sullivan Beth Hart does this very well.
+Jerry Sullivan Amy Winehouse as well. I think Beth Hart is the best.
Too bad Ms Amy had to self destruct... she was remarkable!! As is Beth Hart. So many good choices...
+Jerry Sullivan Rod Steward/Faces did a great cover back in the day. studio and live. aks Classic Bob
+Bob Cardenaz Yeah buddy..ol' Rod does some of the best arrangements and productions going...and his VOICE really rises to the occasion. I really like his cover of "This ol' heart" w/Ron Isley belting it out too!! WOW... so many GREAT choices.. :-)

What a classy solo
Black, white, Republican, Democrat.... can we just agree that this was just beautiful!
I am a Republican, in theory anyway, but this has to be the best president (musically) we ever had! Great taste in music! So glad to see such talent given their due! Kudos to you, President & Mrs. Obama!
bchlovr pssst newsflash for all intensive purposes Obama is a republican.
I think, maybe, maybe, we are all closer together than we realize. We are human.
He has good taste in music. Americans just as a point make great music it is the only time we are every deeply in love with our neighbor is when we sing.

I hope those Gibson guitars have their legal immigration documents. I'd hate to see the tonewood feds confiscate them.
I think those Gibson guitars have since been granted a legal path to citizenship. I hope no more rainforest trees were harmed in filming this video.
Endo Alley The sad thing is, most wont even know what you're talking about
I don't care who you are - having a class act like this in the White House is amazing. Very cool!!!
First of all, I am so proud of a President of the United States that would offer his home for an in home concert by 3 of the greatest current blues players in the country and you knew he was digging it.
I can never get enough of these three together. They play off of each other so well.
All these musicians won't play at the white house as long as Trump is in it. :D
Outstanding ! Kudos to our (Susan Tedeschi ) from South Shore , MA :-)
Norwell
Born and raised!
Jacksonville, Fl now!
Trump would be asking why isn't Kid Rock playing? Obama, nothing but class.
Some of those people don't know what they are seeing there......superb!!!
Wow. Just wow. Warren sings, and it's pretty good. Susan takes over and blows my mind. Then Derek lets loose an amazing-as-always soul-o. So many fantastic covers of this song, but this one is my favourite... so far.
Good God the woman can sing. Dereks a slidin' genius. And Warren's the icing on the cake. WOW! The only thing that would make it better is if the Obamas were back in the White House.
@GreatWhiteBuckwheat Thank you for all the replies to the wingnuts.👍
@GreatWhiteBuckwheat No you didn't. Your were classy and didn't drop to the level of those basement dwellers. 🤟
Not sure if Donny T rump would get this, Hilary might, gotta have a soul.
Damn, it just doesn't get any better than this !
Pure Magic ! I just can't stop watching this piece of Heaven.
Derek can barely move and still break my fucking heart
You know Obama is just dying to wail on his air guitar .
Just enjoy the blues, forget politics for this brief moment. All of us, yeah you too, even if we are opposite, come here, sit down and enjoy the blues with us.
Amen.
Beth played the Kennedy Center Awards. Heard Donald is having Marie Osmond and local organ grinder bands from Hungary.
I love their voices..........too bad I had to see the obamas.......eeeekkk
Warren's face at 3:20 says it all
I had never heard of Warren Haynes until just now. If I could sing like that, I would die happy.
Wow! Of course Susan (I discovered her yesterday) is excellent.
If you don’t like this there’s something wrong with you.
That was Greatness they just witnessed
This is the best cover I have ever heard I’m pretty sure most of those 3million views came from me
This is the best music to me. It hits my heart and I love it.
Of course: If the president is black, the blues singers have to be white! ;-) It is great that this can happen, after all!
But he's half white. Why is he then black because he's half black. Just to check some boxes?
If I could, I'd give about 10,000 likes to this. Just a fantastic performance!!!
this is how everything needs to be done.
Wow. That was amazing.
this is one of my favorites....man I love to hear these three together
That solo was epic. :0
I'm glad to see everybody's having a FUCKING GOOD TIME!!! can we get you anything with our tax dollars? just let us know!
Susan, just found you! I'll be listing to you for quit a while straight. I love what you do!!!
Some of Derek's best ever!
Most of the politician stiffs don't deserve to hear music like this.
Booker T. Jones on the Hammond organ.....that would be enough. But Warren, Derek, and Susan just knock it out of the park.
I liked it till i saw the POTUS and his "wife"-then i turned it off.
I liked Kevin's quote!
Oh,and Snake sucks.
This was back when we had a President who actually had respect for others. Best President and first lady, ever!!
Stupid is as Stupid does.
@@johngibbs9505 Lol, nice response, that took a lot of thinking and intelligence. You're so smart!
@@JimmyWhite1967 even weirder, how did some knuckle-dragging ted nugent groupie like gibbs end up here in the first place?
@@hankrango105 Well, i came here to hear a blues band, then i saw divisive Obama who gave all that money to Iran, sitting there with his hard-done-by-victim wife.
I was enjoying this greatly then I saw disingenuous political figures trying to feign interest. Then I had to sign in and make this stupid comment. Do you know Thomas Campbell? Look it up ...My-Big-Toe. Time to begin learning again. Great song here but what is important?
Govt mule, always fucking rekt the shit out of whatever he does !!!!!
Govt mule lol
gov mule gives him self up with the facial expression
john howards.....Govt Mule.... mates with them guys Led and Pink isn't he?
Susan is amazing great blues singer this is the best I've seen this song performed
Great song great musicians. The confidence that Susan has that she will hit the note every time at 50% effort is just incredible
2021, this still rocks, music at its best
luv how she looks at derek :>
@2:40 that solo is so good . That solo is so good.
awsome lyrical modifications.the best cover ever.honestly, priceless perfomance
Gd. Can you imagine that the Obama WH convened such a gathering of musicians all celebrating the American born and refined tradition? This is what a leader of a country celebrating its history is. Doubtless the successor had no idea who these people are, which is why the WH went into artistic oblivion. There is more to being president that politics.
amazing how good some white people are at imitating
Charles you must have nodded off mid sentence. You were saying white people are good at imitating...imitating what? Answer carefully unless you want to come across as a bigot.
charles blaisdell I believe they say it's the greatest form of flattery. But if you really get into the mind, heart and soul you may find that it's far more than imitation. Sometimes for various reasons we can tap into a field of knowledge or even past events that takes us into another aspect or level of ourselves. It gives credence to the fact that humanity is truly one. Sometimes we can truly become one with another and when that happens it's magic.
Too bad Susan didn't sing that, Derek didn't play that, and Warren didn't sing and play that.......
Its amazing how they can make love to their music like that and let everyone see it live! I have got to see this band live..
Beautiful people , Susan Tedeschi, Derek Trucks, God Bless America !!
I love all these performers, but I think Susan overcooked her part a bit. Still, I would have given anything to be in that room.
Overcooked? Oh wait, that's called burnt, and I agree, she was burning! That gal
can really raise the roof.
S more than overcooked she sang it like a happy song It’s not All to please the MAster of the drones It’s unworthy of a gd band
I was listening to some great music, and then , all of a sudden, the camera pans to the biggest traitor in the history of the USA. I couldn't continue.
