Tedeschi Trucks Band/WA, USA 2020

One year has passed since Kofi Burbridge suddenly passed away. The latest live album held on the anniversary of his death is now available. What is recorded in this work is “February 15, 2020 Washington performance”. It is a transcendental audience recording that conveys the whole story. Speaking of TEDESCHI TRUCKS BAND, their performance in Japan last June is a memorable one, and we will continue to report on their live albums in real time from time to time. Since the beginning of 2020, we have been conveying the current state of TEDESCHI TRUCKS BAND with the masterpiece “CHICAGO 2020 2ND NIGHT” and the original recording “WEMBLEY 2020”. This work is also the latest in such sound reports. First of all, let’s check the show’s position from their recent situation.・January 15th-29th: North America #1 (9 performances) ・February 1st: London performance ・February 14th-29th; North American #2 (10 performances) ←★This work★ -4 months later-・June 26th – August 1st: North America #3 (21 performances) This is the 2020 schedule announced so far. The world tour that has been going on since last year with “North America #2” has come to an end, and we will be off for the next four months. It is scheduled to restart in June. Under such circumstances, the Washington performance of this work is the second concert of the final album “North America #2”. If the aforementioned “CHICAGO 2020 2ND NIGHT” is “North America #1” and “WEMBLEY 2020” is a report on the UK performance, this work is a representative work of “North America #2”. In fact, this work has an outstanding sound. The famous machine “Schoeps mk41″ used by master tapers is used, but that alone cannot explain it. The extremely thick core, the close contact with zero distance, and the vividness of the details are completely beyond the audience’s standards. It’s the kind of thing that surprises you, “Isn’t this a soundboard?!” Moreover, the sound is at a level that you can barely notice through headphones, giving it a gorgeous feel, and it has the elegance of a finely polished official work. The sound is official quality, and the natural sense of reality is even better. It is truly a superb audience recording with “super”. The show drawn with such a transcendental sound is more colorful and varied than ever. There are significantly more songs than “CHICAGO 2020 2ND NIGHT” and “WEMBLEY 2020” which have been repeated for a while. Let’s organize the contents here. Original (10 songs)・REVELATOR: Midnight in Harlem/Bound For Glory・MADE UP MIND: Do I Look Worried/Idle Wind/Made Up Mind・LET ME GET BY: Let Me Get By/Just As Strange・SIGNS: Hard Case /Still Your Mind・Others: Back Where I Started Cover (12 songs)・DEREK AND THE DOMINOS: Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad?/I Am Yours・Standard: Amazing Grace/Will The Circle Be Unbroken?・Others: Life Is Crazy (Mike Mattison) / Somebody Pick Up My Pieces (Willie Nelson) / More and More (Little Milton) / Forty-Four (Roosevelt Sykes) / Women Be Wise (Sippy Wallace) / Done Somebody Wrong (Elmore James) / I Pity The Fool (Bobby Bland) / Let’s Go Get Stoned (THE COASTERS)… and so on. There are 10 original songs as usual, but there are a lot of 12 cover songs. Moreover, it’s not just a large volume, it’s rare. DEREK AND THE DOMINOS’ “I Am Yours” was a written response, and “Life Is Crazy”, “Somebody Pick Up My Pieces”, “Done Somebody Wrong”, “Back Where I Started”, etc. were also featured in “CHICAGO 2020 2ND NIGHT” and “WEMBLEY 2020” The repertoire that I couldn’t listen to is being played in large numbers. Trad’s “Amazing Grace” and “Will The Circle Be Unbroken?” are also very valuable (why Christmas songs even though it’s a February show?). This show is also the anniversary of Kofi Burbridge who passed away suddenly last year, and you can also listen to “I Pity The Fool” dedicated to him. And a performance that spells out such a group of famous songs. This is already TEDESCHI TRUCKS BAND, so there’s no way it could be bad. After about two weeks off since the last London performance, he was in perfect condition and was in perfect condition, with no signs of tour fatigue. It seems like the enthusiasm for the final touches of the world tour is overflowing from the speakers. Given the large number of songs, I get the impression that many of the interplays are short, but that doesn’t mean they’re cold. Rather, it is also a show that blows a blazing heat without having to gradually accumulate phrases. TEDESCHI TRUCKS BAND’s set changes all the time, and you won’t want to miss even one performance. Even in light of their standards, the sound of this work is by far the best, and the variety of the set is exceptionally colorful. It’s too early to say it’s the best of 2020 since summer’s “North America #3” hasn’t been held yet, but from a emotional standpoint, I’d like to say it’s a masterpiece. A collection of fun masterpieces, beautiful sounds, passionate performances…all of which make this an absolutely wonderful piece. Warner Theatre, Washington, D.C.
