The Tedeschi Trucks Band have resumed its extensive summer tour and is now making its way across the Golden State. On Wednesday the group appeared at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley. Last night, TTB was at the Santa Barbara Bowl. Then, it’s on to Rady Shell at Jacobs Park in San Diego on Sunday, followed by an appearance at the Hollywood Bowl on Monday.
The Berkeley show opened with three songs from the group’s new album Future Soul: “Crazy Cryin’” “I Got You” and “What in the World.” The extended set also offered a memorable version of “Let Me Get By,” which was preceded by a jam that featured saxophone player Kebbi Williams and drummers Issac Eady and Tyler Greenwell. Given the Bay Area locale, a later version of the Grateful Dead’s “Sugaree” also was fitting, as paired with John Prine’s “Angel from Montgomery.” Midway through the set, Alam Khan, Head of Indian Classical Instrumental Studies at the Ali Akbar College of Music, joined in on sarod for a soaring take on the TTB original “Hold That Line,” which appears on I Am The Moon: II. The group had last performed the tune on 11/15/24. Lukas Nelson opened the show with his band and later guested on Leon Russell’s “A Song For You.”…
