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)?!
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.
@@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.
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*...!!*"
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.
Something I always come back to with this is how Derek’s solo feels so integral to the song, it’s not a solo they threw in just because. And it’s because Derek doesn’t just play the guitar in the solo - he makes it sing
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.
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.
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.
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.
+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.. :-)
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.
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!
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...
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.
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.
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.
I drove 16 + hours round trip to see TTB in Richmond VA 3/14/ 24 I drove to the concert and back ❤ wish Warren was a special guest but best concert I needed for my soul❤.
What a great performance for the President and First Lady by such talented and authentic artists in the White House. Susan's voice is perfect for this song. Blew everybody away. Go Susan Tedeschi!
RIP Christine P McVie, who did a beautiful version of this song in the late 60's. That brought me to this sweet version. Thanks to the great Etta James for making it worthy to be sang forever !
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.
There are not words known to man to describe how beautiful this is....the things that you can say through music....beyond all language, yet it speaks to our soul.
a lovely moment in time...Camelot, all over again. The grace and beauty of the blues, as presented by it's finest purveyors, the brilliant Derek Trucks, Susan Tedeschi, and Warren Haynes...thanks, Barack and our first black First Lady, for making history, in so many ways...
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.
This performance is as great as it could ever be. Phenomenal vocals and Derek spreading his goodness over everyone. Still captivates me every time. Award winning on levels of epic proportions.
Warren Haynes has an outstanding blues voice, and Susan can wail. Warren and Derek are simply amazing. Enough said
Yeah absolutely true. But the look on Big Mike's face is one of someone who has just shit themself
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)?!
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."
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.
Her voice is just stunning and Trucks solo is just superb. Thanks so much for sharing this.
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.
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
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.
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
The vocals are so awesome! and THEN.....that moment when Derek plays that solo. Wow.
Warren's vocal was really strong here and his guitar licks are so delicious.. much respect.
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 ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Tedeschi belts it out of the park every frealkin' time...
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.
Susan is a fantastic blues singer! - Love it.
Derek is an "old soul", his style and his sound are so passionate and powerful and mature...
Something I always come back to with this is how Derek’s solo feels so integral to the song, it’s not a solo they threw in just because. And it’s because Derek doesn’t just play the guitar in the solo - he makes it sing
3 legends leaving it all out there for us to enjoy! Thank you Thank you Thank you, Derek, Susan, and Warren!!!
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.

@@elainemeyer5062 To clarify, my comparison to Janis was Beth's version, Susan is closer to Etta in my opinion.
i have heard a lot of great versions of this beautiful song and this is one of the best
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
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
Who the hell would 'thumbs down' this performance?? Looossseeeerrrrsssss who don't know great music!!
Hello Colleen,
how're you doing
Comments like this are priceless, Thank you❤️
it's nice meeting you here
Wow! Susan knows how to sing with her soul!
I'm amazed once again!
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.
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.. :-)
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 is one of my favorites....man I love to hear these three together
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.

Pure Magic ! I just can't stop watching this piece of Heaven.

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.
Man this was REALLY GOOD and I loved EVERY minute of it , the singing and the Guitar Playing were so so good !!!!!!
Susan is amazing great blues singer this is the best I've seen this song performed
Outstanding ! Kudos to our (Susan Tedeschi ) from South Shore , MA :-)
Norwell
Born and raised!
Jacksonville, Fl now!
WoW!! What a moment. So lucky to be there with them during this 'most excellent' show!!!!
Bless y'all! 😍
Susan T. Is such a soulful emotional singer that she often brings a tear to my eyes. She inspires those that perform with her
How can you not love Susan Tedeshi? She rips my heart out
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.
Such a stellar combination of two of the greatest living Southern rock guitar players and Susan’s powerful vocals.
👏👏👏
Warren Haynes...................THE MAN
That was Greatness they just witnessed
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.
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...
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.

2021, this still rocks, music at its best
Awesome guitarsolo from Derek. Love it.
Beautiful people , Susan Tedeschi, Derek Trucks, God Bless America !!
What a great performance for the President and First Lady by such talented and authentic artists in the White House. Susan's voice is perfect for this song. Blew everybody away. Go Susan Tedeschi!
If I could, I'd give about 10,000 likes to this. Just a fantastic performance!!!
Susan can sing like an angel and definitely hold her own on the guitar. With Warren and Derek
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..
REal music recharges me, makes me high, takes me anywhere I wanna go. This is REAL when so much in the world is not.
RIP Christine P McVie, who did a beautiful version of this song in the late 60's. That brought me to this sweet version. Thanks to the great Etta James for making it worthy to be sang forever !
double thanks to etta james
Saw them last night and they are the real deal. Guitarist is not from this planet. Real musicians playing real music. Just phenomenal
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.
She is one of the best voices in the business. I love her!
Wonderful song.. great version..
There are not words known to man to describe how beautiful this is....the things that you can say through music....beyond all language, yet it speaks to our soul.
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.
When your so classic it never changes
Great song great musicians. The confidence that Susan has that she will hit the note every time at 50% effort is just incredible
Playin this & Etta James back to back & over n over. Hell of a match.
Even George Washington in the background was like damn that was good
stevevr1965 lmao
Amazing!!
Killed it girl.. you guys RULE!!!!!!!!
Beautiful rendition of a classic.
Beautiful true feeling of the Blues.
wow1 2 of my favs playing for the PREZ! LOVE IT! You go girl!
Saw Susan and Derek in Oregon last night. Amazing and I have been a long time fan of hers for about 30 years! Derek is phenomenal too!!
What a classy solo
I mean the way Susan always knows she’ll nail it. Especially at the end, she’s perfect
I don't think any guitar playing has ever moved me like Derek's
This is a beautiful performance and it's absolutely amazing 🎉🎉. Timeless classic music and definitely a priceless experience 🎉🎉
a lovely moment in time...Camelot, all over again. The grace and beauty of the blues, as presented by it's finest purveyors, the brilliant Derek Trucks, Susan Tedeschi, and Warren Haynes...thanks, Barack and our first black First Lady, for making history, in so many ways...
Keep on returning to this masterpiece it is the definition of flawless and just pure class !
awsome lyrical modifications.the best cover ever.honestly, priceless perfomance
Wow the hair on my head is tingling. So good!!!!!
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.
Jesus. This is world class blues.
Wow, the talent of these artsts is just amazing!
Fantastic!
Hello Susan,
how're you doing
Comments like this are priceless, Thank you❤️
it's nice meeting you here
Man!! she has a fantastic voice.
What a lineup!
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.
What a room full of brilliance!
Wow. That was amazing.
That Solo speaks from the heart. One of the best I've heard. love this performance.
Some of Derek's best ever!
So much talent on that stage...
Susan, just found you! I'll be listing to you for quit a while straight. I love what you do!!!
I just can't get enough of this!
That was awesome! God speaks to man through art.
+Walter Holokai really? I must not have the volume up loud enough cause after 40 years, I ain't heard or seen nothing from him
+Michael Killen Have you been listening?
my ears are wide open. still...nada. I see children get raped by priests and have cancer though. That's a nice little gift from your god.
Derek's solos just give me goose bumps and he makes you melt! Just so good.
O olhar da Susan para o solo do seu amado diz tudo: Isso sim é música!!
This performance is as great as it could ever be. Phenomenal vocals and Derek spreading his goodness over everyone. Still captivates me every time. Award winning on levels of epic proportions.
