That's the privilege of living in Europe where they're less famous. They were hanging at the merch stand after their show and they're indeed two of the sweetest artists I've ever met. Derek even gave me his bottleneck when I told him that I started to play slide guitar because of him. One of the best shows of my life :-) Thanks for your video!
I bought a front row seat for my bday at the famous Ryman Auditorium this past February and all I wanted was to hear Susan sing Angel>Sugaree and I got my wish. I’ll never forget it. ❤️ Susan, Derek and the amazing Band! Can’t wait to see you again. I’ll be at your first show regardless of where or when.
I'd give my eye-teeth to see them. To nail a John Prine song like she does...that song was meant for her to put a voice to. What young man writes a song about life seen from an elderly woman's perspective?...John Prine, that's who...Covid, you suck. We were robbed.
Yeah I’m lucky enough to have seen them with the late great bb king, rip, like 8 years ago. They just get better. unfortunately I haven’t been able to see them since kofi left, rip. That’ll be a hard one to replace
@@TheCrowHawk @michaelpalmisano Check out this Liz Reed I shot in 2015 @ P'Cola Saenger (seating capacity 1,650). Kofi & Derek ... hell, the whole band! ... at the top of their game! Other good videos of #ttb on my channel also. th-cam.com/video/lhAGNE7HBBI/w-d-xo.html
I too absolutely love Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi (along with the rest of the Tedeschi-Trucks Band). Not only are they incredibly talented musicians, with Derek being the greatest slide guitarist on the planet IMO and Susan having a phenomenal blues vocalist whose voice oozes soul, but they are also incredibly nice people.
This is the first “reaction video” I’ve ever watched, and I didn’t have high hopes, I just clicked because I love TTB and I know Susan kills Angel of Montgomery. But it really brought me a lot of joy to see how moved you were. You looked as if you were close to tearing up. That’s the power of music! I love that. I’ve been fortunate to see them many times. Then I watched your video of Midnight in Harlem. I share your reverence for Derek Trucks. You really know your music theory. I wish I had stuck with an instrument instead of wanting to play everything. Anyway, you are the kind of person I’d love to spend time with. I’ll be checking out more videos, I’m sure. Thanks!
I feel the the same way. I was always hesitant to watch "reaction videos" but this is truly special seeing a brother get 'that gleam in his eye' and, as fellow Deadheads who seen them many many times, witness the magic in the reaction he has. Plus Sugaree, that's always been my song ever since I got on the bus long ago...it's a very special old tune and every time I hear it, I feel like I'm hearing it for the first time over and over.
Totally agree man! I came across Mike and had the exact same reaction - Mike's passion and knowledge and enjoyment of the raw emotion of a piece is just great. I agree Derek is possibly the best guitarist right now and I've seen him since he was 13 playing with BB King and Susan is so talented she sends shivers down my spine when she sings!
When Susan was a new artist I was privileged to watch her captivate an audience with just her guitar and voice and I was hooked instantly. She is a treasure
Mattson (backup singer you mentioned) was the lead singer for the Derek Trucks Band prior to the bands merging and he has co-written some of their songs.
I booked tickets for Susan tedeschi boch Wang theater Friday oct 4 Boston balcony seats I'm so in love with her bluesy rock music God Almighty hell of an amazing artist and I'm gonna melt in my shoes I'm crying listening to angel Montgomery God bless you my friend
And...That's the good stuff! I can't think of a guitar player who wouldn't be overshadowed by Derek, but she is an incredible player in her own right and obviously an apex singer. The cohesiveness of this band is stunning. Also, I must say, that was the best flute solo I've ever heard. LoL
Saw them this past weekend at the Chicago theater, she walked out on crutches because she tore her meniscus dancing at the green mill the night before and she ripped it! Your story about her being sick reminded me. Also they covered angels from Montgomery that night.
I’ve watched this Tedeschi Trucks tune over and over and over...so powerful. I don’t “know” music, just feel it, so your tutorial helps me appreciate what I’m feeling while watching it.
"Things just start to click if you don't quit on you..." - LIFE LESSON - for free no less. At 49 I can attest that this accounts for 87% of the good shit in my life. Maybe 89%, maybe :-)
They were my last show before covid hit. Seeing Derek live is something else, but seeing how he drirects that monster of a band using the most subtle of body language and music cues was probably the most impressive thing I've ever seen. It's so good.
my wife and I planned our family vacation around their tour this year. Saw them in Chicago two nights, Milwaukee BMO and then at Red Rocks. We love their energy so much!
I just recently saw TTB in Red Bank, NJ in March of this year. completely, totally blown away. one of the comments below on how Derek directs the band with the slightest of movements, nods, turns, etc. He broke a string on stage, one of the roadies brought out another guitar but Derek had him bring a string. Derek had the keyboad player take on a solo while he changed his guitar string right on stage and the band just kept on playing a very complex rythym. crazy. Susan's voice is so far past 4 dimensions hearing her live will make you cry if you have a heartbeat. just looking at other tour dates now. Beacon theater NY in OCT!
I was truly blessed to have seen this very band with the flautist, Kofi Burbage, on a few occasions. Such a beautiful young man taken from us far to soon. Very nice breakdown, brother. It is much appreciated.
Susan's voice just keeps getting better and better. It's great to watch. Derek is a musician's musician and he is so keyed on Susan for dynamic changes and just super supportive of her musically speaking. As you say attentive. Attentiveness is about the best trait in a musician.
TTB performing “Angel From Montgomery/Sugaree” is the BEST thing I have EVER seen on TH-cam!!! Nice to know someone else is as big a fan of this amazing band of musicians.
The first time I heard Susan sing and play I was on maui... sitting in my car ... andpaeked on a side street... suddenly I heard this voice ... and I just sat there staring.. like a fool .. a few minute later I nearly started crying .. the emotion was so powerful ... she reminds me of some one that I knew .. her expressions .. my mother had similar expressions and had died a few years previous.. ot was such a great song and at the same time was sadd and happy ... memories... any way .... as I watched her I thought darn I'm I'n love . she really has a wonderful vibe .. S great
I decided that I'm going to sign up for your lessons, as a Christmas gift from my wife. I've been playing about twelve years and know the most important basic things about keys and the proper chord, knowing how to embellish just a little bit. Your playing style is superb, and I want to learn as much from you as possible. Keep doing this, please!!
Thanks so much for yet another amazing REACT video, Michael. And Susan Tedeschi...wow. Absolutely incredible. What a musician, performer, singer, guitarist...everything.
There are two bands, in my opinion , that are the greatest on this planet at this moment. TTB and Snarky Puppy. Both bands contains musicians that play in favour of the band (besides the fact that they are individually outstanding musicians). It’s absolutely a joy to listen to them.
I'm glad we agree about the essence in this band. I followed their Swamp Family shows all through the Spring and Summer. Beautiful, all of it. Such emotion.
I came here from that fabulous rehearsal video of Them with Taj Mahal and Leaving Trunk and everything you said about them is spot on. Even in their rehearsals its a must watch. All of this reminds me of good days when I was young.
Absolutely the best band in the land these days! Seen em several times and they NEVER disappoint, so powerful are they and so TOGETHER, each having the others’ musical backs! Thanks for doing this one Michael it is one of my faves. ✌️
Saw her perform Sugaree for the First Time ever live with The Other Ones in 2002. You should have seen the standing ovation and cheers. I told her that I remembered when I first met her.
RIP Kofi! You are sorely missed, my friend! Big part of the soul of the Derek Trucks Band and TTB. They were the last band I saw live before the lockdown as well. With so many moving parts, it would be easy for that to turn into a muddy mess, but they handle it so well! I would probably agree with best live band around now (or Widespread Panic!). Always fun to see how bands react to adversity, because they all have it! Jerry was famous for flubbing lyrics, I saw Greggory flub more than one verse too, JB, hell no telling where he's going sometimes, but they never fall off of that tightrope! I saw Susan open for the ABB sometime in the late 90s, maybe 2000, and had never heard of her. Well, I certainly left that show knowing who she is!
Yes, Kofi was so talented and it was a major blow when he passed and will forever be missed. They are, IMHO, the best band around and as you described so tight and professional. I saw the same tour back then and discovered Susan myself and she blew me away! When ABB reformed after DB they were back to playing great shows with Derek and Warren on guitar and Oteil on bass. Those Beacon Theater runs were are real joy to see!
Right there with you! Mike has reignited my passion for playing and he's the best at running through a tune and explaining the intricacies of the melodies - love it!!
One point of order. As a drummer, we call that snare sound in Sugaree crossstick.. A rimshot is when hit the head and the rim at the same time which makes a sound that is a mixture of the two sounds. Also, I swear there was a little Jethro Tull playsinging right at the end of that flute solo.
First time I seen Derek Truck was in 2001 at the Beacon with Butch Trucks, as well Blues Traveler. Always a big Allman brothers fan( and i think they always play the best shows at the Beacon NYC, as i seen them over10 times, 6 times @ Beacon)big Warren Haynes, but after that show Derek became my guitar hero. What an amazing show. Here this young kid is playing with one of the best and oldest jam bands still rocking at what age 20 21yrs when I seen him. Just wow.
The first time I found Derek and Susan, it was in a video of an all-star jam session with Clapton, BB King, and I believe Mark Knopfler. It seemed the producer wanted to focus on Clapton and King, and thought "Forget these other guys" whenever someone else played. I was like "Hey, I want to see more of that slide guy!!!" LOL But of course, Clapton and King handled it like they professionals they are and tried to share the spotlight with everyone.
Surgaree - turned my Wife into a Jerry fan 30 or so years ago. A fourteen minute live Jerry Garcia Band boot legged off the radio. I think there is a BW video out there... great song great version... Love it! Probably my favorite Dead tune. Thanks for the video.
Michael...glad I ran into the post. I have been drawn to the Tedeschi Trucks band for many years, and for obvious reason. I love how you break down the entire song, on behalf of the band. You're refreshing to watch and to pick up on maybe the "not so obvious" things in music" keep up the great content...Much appreciated!
As a Jax native, I can’t tell you how proud I am of them! Never met them, but they seem like down to earth folks...who happen to be loaded to the hilt with talent!! ✌🏻🎸
Everything else you said about this band is correct. I've marveled about how a 12 piece band can be so together. Especially, when half the audience are picky Deadheads!
Palmisano: watch how attentive Derek is to Susan. Derek: I was so attentive I didn’t even take the stage. Lol....I’m playing, Michael. I’ve been to so many shows I get them mixed up sometimes too. Love your reactions, keep em’ coming. RIP Kofi❤️✌🏼
When you walk me through it, some times just by your facial expression, I learn why this band is my favorite. I am not musician. There are just some things that stay with me, and until I found your channel, I did not know why. I may not understand some of the things you explain but It doesn't matter, because now I am noticing those little things and learning.
Michael.....first...i don't play music...I'm a listener..as I watch your expressions I listen just like that hearing all that is going on as it's going on ... I need to learn how to play befor I die ... wish I tried sooner ...pushing 65 ....love what you do
I discovered Tedeschi Trucks band on the Chevy Commercial. !! LOL..Susan's voice , Derek the guitar prodigy...I picked em out. "That is NO jingle babe...that girls voice , who is that playing, the tune...AMAZING VIBE...Now they are my favorite band of all time !! SOUL IS BACK IN !!!! Like discovering plutonium, Ha!
Dude I fucking love you I saw Derek and the band a few years ago at the blues festival in Australia and Derek played with a broken finger!!!! The gig was so sick!!! Best band!!!
I have seen these folks twice live and Susan knocked it out of the park both times. Seems like she doesn't have many bad nights. Also the only flute solo I've ever enjoyed in my life so far. Thanks for posting this Michael. Hopefully you'll somehow get to meet them.
Their version from Austin posted here on TH-cam I have watched over a thousand times. The part where Derek finally comes back on stage for Sugaree gives me shivers every.single.time. TTB is an absolutely brilliant band.
This is the version that should have made an appearance here. It's so good. The way she looks at him as he just spreads his wings and takes off is the stuff of real, bonafide true love.
Just now found this channel when searching for other Tyler Childers- related videos. I first saw your Nose On The Grindstone reaction, and it made me wish you had a video for every single one of his songs. Talking about his voice and the meaning if the song interests me a lot, so thank you for that aspect of your videos, as I don’t play guitar myself. If you return to Tyler, our family favorite is “Follow You to Virgie”, with the POEM that is “Lady May” as a close second. Also, “Messed Up Kid” (only on youtube) is a light-hearted fun song of his.
I found this channel through TC videos too. All great recommendations, I second them all. I can't stop watching the Messed Up Kid video, its awesome :)
such a good jam. I was in the mountains on lsd the first time I heard it. It was a beautiful day. Been listening to Susan and Tedeschi Trucks Band since. they're wonderful.
Saw this band in a smallish theater in San Diego a few years ago. Killer horn section, dynamite rhythm section. Trucks slide was explosive and sublime. But Susan Tesdeschi OMG she’s the angel. Sounds like Bonnie Raitt and plays a mean Strat. Unforgettable show.
Such a beautiful lesson Michael. You really made me appreciate this band even more than I already do. A little context for you: Seen ttb 30+ times all over the country. Some times I go days upon days listening to TTB. So it's high praise. Thanks 🙏
Great video Michael! I saw all 3 Nashville shows shortly after you saw them in D.C. They are definitely the best band out there today for so many reasons. The way they feed off each other on stage and communicate with a look, a smile, or a laugh is incredible! They played Angel/Sugaree as well and I got goosebumps when the whole room is singing Sugaree. Very powerful moment! Can't wait to see TTB again... Keep up the good work!
Best band in the world - I am down in Australia and we can’t get enough of these guys. Kudos to you Michael as you find the the needles in the global haystack and share them with us.
TTB is without a doubt the best live band around these days. Every member is a badass playing their instrument and each vocalist could front their own bands. As for the "space" when they play, they do what all great musicians do - they listen to what is being played. It's such a simple concept yet many players can't seem to grasp it. I never thought I'd hear power coming from the stage after The Brothers called it quits but TTB thankfully proved me wrong! As for them getting no airplay or so many people being unaware of them - they're too damn good and the masses settle for way less.
Wanted you to react to this for so long! Classic tune from some of the best in the game right now, Trucks is next level. Scarily good. Hope you and the fam are all safe and well, have a good one man!
Tedeschi Trucks and Michael Palmisano. I'm in.
Me too.

RIP Kofi Burbridge on keys & flute
Kofi definitely left us too soon. He was the unsung hero of that band for so long.
I can’t watch these videos without getting a little emotional about him. I feel privileged that I got to see him live a handful of times.
I miss the flute
@@G_String Same here. I was a huge fan of DTB and Kofi just killed it.
@@paulwarren8936 a musical genius
Kofi died? What the fuck :(
I miss Kofi Burbridge so bad every time I hear one of these, he brought so much greatness to this band.
DrasticBread Kofi is few and far between. There will only be one
To me Kofi took this to upper echelon of bands
Derek said that guy was always the best musician on the stage.
Y e s s . . . 🙌
Two ridiculously talented singers, one with the voice, the other with fingers.
And the band, so tight, no one is sitting on the wrong chair.
That's the privilege of living in Europe where they're less famous. They were hanging at the merch stand after their show and they're indeed two of the sweetest artists I've ever met. Derek even gave me his bottleneck when I told him that I started to play slide guitar because of him. One of the best shows of my life :-) Thanks for your video!
Dude that's a great story, treasure that slide forever!
@@chaz32 Oh I will, I only play it at home, I don't want to break it haha
Wow. Great story
When and where was that show? I'm waiting to see them in Europe for quite a while now. But I will keep on waiting.

Best working Band in the business IMO!
When I saw them last Aug, she started, the crowd helped her sing Angel from Montgomery. It was amazing too
I've started a "when this crap is over I'm going to see them live" list. They are on it.
Where have you been? They've been on top of their game for damn near 10 years!
Yeah I’m lucky enough to have seen them with the late great bb king, rip, like 8 years ago. They just get better. unfortunately I haven’t been able to see them since kofi left, rip. That’ll be a hard one to replace

Thanks so much for yet another amazing REACT video, Michael. And Susan Tedeschi...wow. Absolutely incredible. What a musician, performer, singer, guitarist...everything.
Best music ever. Love from the Netherlands.
This made me miss live music so much. I look forward to the day when I can see TTB in person again. Best band on the planet.
Saw TTB at the Ryman right before shutdown. Got to talk briefly to Derek and Sue after the show. Just a magical experience all around!!

Everything else you said about this band is correct. I've marveled about how a 12 piece band can be so together. Especially, when half the audience are picky Deadheads!
How did I miss this reaction?... I'm still working now to back then I suppose... slays me every time I hear them play. Every. Time.
You have impeccable tastes my friend. In my heaven the angels sing like Susan and the harps sound like Derek's guitar.
Palmisano: watch how attentive Derek is to Susan.
Derek: I was so attentive I didn’t even take the stage. Lol....I’m playing, Michael. I’ve been to so many shows I get them mixed up sometimes too. Love your reactions, keep em’ coming. RIP Kofi❤️✌🏼
Welcome to Jax! We have lived in Fernandina Beach for 18 years. Tedeschi Trucks is the best band on the planet!!!!
We were at the last show Kofi played with the band, in Boston. 12/18
The music and tune when the singer sings "Make me an angel" is so simple, and so achingly beautiful. John Prine (who wrote the song) was a genius.
Your point about "leave some space" landed perfectly. These guys make it feel like voice fits and fills perfectly every time.
All of there background singer are great !!! Alicia is my favorite watch her solo on bound for glory!
When you walk me through it, some times just by your facial expression, I learn why this band is my favorite. I am not musician. There are just some things that stay with me, and until I found your channel, I did not know why. I may not understand some of the things you explain but It doesn't matter, because now I am noticing those little things and learning.
Michael.....first...i don't play music...I'm a listener..as I watch your expressions I listen just like that hearing all that is going on as it's going on ... I need to learn how to play befor I die ... wish I tried sooner ...pushing 65 ....love what you do
Thank you Mr Palmisano for a perfect break to the work day and giving us all some space! That little run you play at 8:04 is beautiful!
I discovered Tedeschi Trucks band on the Chevy Commercial. !! LOL..Susan's voice , Derek the guitar prodigy...I picked em out. "That is NO jingle babe...that girls voice , who is that playing, the tune...AMAZING VIBE...Now they are my favorite band of all time !! SOUL IS BACK IN !!!! Like discovering plutonium, Ha!
I'm going to see Susan tedeschi boch Wang theater Friday oct 4 Boston I'm looking forward to seeing her Im a huge fan
Dude I fucking love you
I saw Derek and the band a few years ago at the blues festival in Australia and Derek played with a broken finger!!!! The gig was so sick!!!
Best band!!!
I have seen these folks twice live and Susan knocked it out of the park both times. Seems like she doesn't have many bad nights. Also the only flute solo I've ever enjoyed in my life so far. Thanks for posting this Michael. Hopefully you'll somehow get to meet them.
Saw the Tedeschi Trucks band last year with my Dad - simply the best show I've ever been to. And love your analysis and insight as ever MP!
It's definitely a real band! It's ALL ABOUT the song...everyone (the band) listens to each other!
They are a group beyond ... I tour with these guys & JRAD on a fulltime basis of course I see D&C & mini tours /Wolf Bros is in there some where.
Your urge to share your deep feelings about this music is very touching. Bless you, Michael.
I'm with you on the passion level for this band....GOAT out there now...🎙🎤🎸🎺
Their version from Austin posted here on TH-cam I have watched over a thousand times. The part where Derek finally comes back on stage for Sugaree gives me shivers every.single.time. TTB is an absolutely brilliant band.
This is the version that should have made an appearance here. It's so good. The way she looks at him as he just spreads his wings and takes off is the stuff of real, bonafide true love.
Saw those eyes water up a couple of times. Thanks for bringing this to our attention, Michael.
Just now found this channel when searching for other Tyler Childers- related videos. I first saw your Nose On The Grindstone reaction, and it made me wish you had a video for every single one of his songs. Talking about his voice and the meaning if the song interests me a lot, so thank you for that aspect of your videos, as I don’t play guitar myself. If you return to Tyler, our family favorite is “Follow You to Virgie”, with the POEM that is “Lady May” as a close second. Also, “Messed Up Kid” (only on youtube) is a light-hearted fun song of his.
I found this channel through TC videos too. All great recommendations, I second them all. I can't stop watching the Messed Up Kid video, its awesome :)
Not just tones but they define clear lanes of frequency that they pretty much stay in. When mixing it's obviously one of their most important tasks.
Saw Bonnie play this at Magfest and it left me a crying mess in the middle of that SOSMP field. Susan pays respect and plays those characters so well.
such a good jam. I was in the mountains on lsd the first time I heard it. It was a beautiful day. Been listening to Susan and Tedeschi Trucks Band since. they're wonderful.
They did a private show at my store once and they just blew the place away
Im a fan of your reaction to Susan tedeschi awesome job dude
Saw this band in a smallish theater in San Diego a few years ago. Killer horn section, dynamite rhythm section. Trucks slide was explosive and sublime. But Susan Tesdeschi OMG she’s the angel. Sounds like Bonnie Raitt and plays a mean Strat. Unforgettable show.
Hot damn, I got chills from that man. I love tedeshi trucks band
100% love your passion man!
I'm going to see Susan tedeschi boch Wang theater Friday oct 4 Boston I'm a huge fan of her bluesy rock music
My last show was ttb at the ryman in February right before the shutdown. I think it was the fourth time seeing them. Great live band! So much talent.
Such a beautiful lesson Michael. You really made me appreciate this band even more than I already do. A little context for you: Seen ttb 30+ times all over the country. Some times I go days upon days listening to TTB. So it's high praise. Thanks 🙏
Great video Michael! I saw all 3 Nashville shows shortly after you saw them in D.C. They are definitely the best band out there today for so many reasons. The way they feed off each other on stage and communicate with a look, a smile, or a laugh is incredible! They played Angel/Sugaree as well and I got goosebumps when the whole room is singing Sugaree. Very powerful moment! Can't wait to see TTB again...
Keep up the good work!
Bonnie Raitt covering this early in her career is another sonic gem. Wonderland video. So smooth and melodic.
Saw them Wed nite. Very tight. One of my top 5 concerts. Best guitarist i’ve seen live. Pros all around.
Saw them 7-18 (Tuesday) Cincinnati..badass!!..first band that I've attached to since Jerry Garcia and Paul Barrer have died. Thnx.
Best band in the world - I am down in Australia and we can’t get enough of these guys. Kudos to you Michael as you find the the needles in the global haystack and share them with us.
Yeah man!! Thx!!
TTB is without a doubt the best live band around these days. Every member is a badass playing their instrument and each vocalist could front their own bands. As for the "space" when they play, they do what all great musicians do - they listen to what is being played. It's such a simple concept yet many players can't seem to grasp it. I never thought I'd hear power coming from the stage after The Brothers called it quits but TTB thankfully proved me wrong! As for them getting no airplay or so many people being unaware of them - they're too damn good and the masses settle for way less.
Wanted you to react to this for so long! Classic tune from some of the best in the game right now, Trucks is next level. Scarily good. Hope you and the fam are all safe and well, have a good one man!
