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.
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.
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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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 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.
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!
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
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'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 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.
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.
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.
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!
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. ✌️
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.
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!!
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.
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!! ✌🏻🎸
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❤️✌🏼
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 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.
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!
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.
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!
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!
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!!!
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.
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 🙏
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.
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.
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.
Between your knowledge of actual scale and how emotionally invested you are...man! New sub. Watched your Chris Stapleton, Rain when I die, DRH jam, and this one all right in a row. You're great man.
I just came across this video Michael. I completely share your enthusiasm for TTB. You articulated some of the exact same thoughts/feelings which I have, but have struggled to put into words myself. I hear some of that same magic in your playing/teaching too!
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.
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!
Excellent breakdown of probably my most favourite band of the moment. Its clear we have very similar tastes. Great stuff Michael; Your videos, as well as being super informative are an absolute joy to watch.
Call it what you want, but music like this is prayer. It reaches out and opens us up. It is an honor to the universe and the universe feels it and we get to see and feel that moment of floating, transcendental bliss.
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 :)
I signed up a couple of weeks ago but I have been massively busy and havent been able to get on much but I gotta tell ya as someone who can't read music and has never had any theory I can say I have vastly improved by just watching these videos and applying it.
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 :(
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.

Best live act in the world. No doubt. Thanks for an awesome reaction video!
Couldn't agree more!
Ditto
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 . . . 🙌
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

Saw them live in 2019 and they were amazing! The size of the band and the incredible talent makes them so versatile and amazing.

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.
I love your love for just great music and musicianship
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.

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!

Great comment about the mastery of this Band. They play with incredible dynamics. Know when to be subtle and when to blow ya face off! 😂❤
Yes! You get it. Thanks.
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!!
Saving this video for later - you have killer insight and I love everything TTB and everything guitar so I know I'll dig this video.
World class musicianship ! Nice comments and well done reactions in your video ....
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.
I'm with you on the passion level for this band....GOAT out there now...🎙🎤🎸🎺
Your point about "leave some space" landed perfectly. These guys make it feel like voice fits and fills perfectly every time.
First time I seen Derek Truck was in 2001 at the Beacon with Butch Trucks, as well Blues Traveler.

I just saw them for the second time in Toronto, and as a Deadhead, i was pumped to get this combo at our show!

Hot damn, I got chills from that man. I love tedeshi trucks band
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.
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!!!

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.
It's definitely a real band! It's ALL ABOUT the song...everyone (the band) listens to each other!
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.
Between your knowledge of actual scale and how emotionally invested you are...man! New sub. Watched your Chris Stapleton, Rain when I die, DRH jam, and this one all right in a row. You're great man.
Your faces during that flute solo bring me pure joy!
I got to see Tedeschi Trucks live and it was amazing.
Me too .)
Excellent reaction and I completely agree that they are the best band touring today!!!
You help me understand why music moves me so...especially this tune...
The crispness of those snare strikes is phenomenal!
Love your reaction and most of all as a intermediate guitar player i Love your talent on guitar. Underated for sure. Thanks Michael.
I just came across this video Michael. I completely share your enthusiasm for TTB. You articulated some of the exact same thoughts/feelings which I have, but have struggled to put into words myself. I hear some of that same magic in your playing/teaching too!
Thank you for keeping the jam bands going. This is absolutely amazing bro
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.
I commented before watching all the way through, you are so right with how powerful the ending of this song is.... Superb! Sugareee....
I agree with all your comments about the greatness of this band.
I have seen them 4 times. ❤️✌🏼
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!
You are cool as hell. Your vids kick ass.
Thanks for what you do.
Excellent breakdown of probably my most favourite band of the moment. Its clear we have very similar tastes. Great stuff Michael; Your videos, as well as being super informative are an absolute joy to watch.
Been fortunate enough to see them 3 times. The band.
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.
100% love your passion man!
I agree with every word you said! 🥰🥰🥰🥰 Love Susan and the prodigy Dereck Trucks💞💞💞💞💞
Call it what you want, but music like this is prayer. It reaches out and opens us up. It is an honor to the universe and the universe feels it and we get to see and feel that moment of floating, transcendental bliss.
Just occurred to me how cool it is. Derek didn’t play, maybe because that was a song when Susan was solo. And yes, this is by far my favorite band!!!
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 :)
I signed up a couple of weeks ago but I have been massively busy and havent been able to get on much but I gotta tell ya as someone who can't read music and has never had any theory I can say I have vastly improved by just watching these videos and applying it.
