Tedeschi Trucks Band/IL,USA 1.25.2020

It’s already been half a year since the wonderful performance in Japan. The latest live album from TEDESCHI TRUCKS BAND, which continues to be the “best live band of today” in 2020, is here. This work includes “January 25, 2020 Chicago Performance”. This is the best audience recording that tells the whole story. Anyway, the band has the image of performing live all year round, and as expected, they are actively touring in 2020 as well. First of all, let’s check the show’s position from their recent situation.・January 15th-29th: North America #1 (9 performances) ←★Here ・February 1st: London performance ・February 14th-29th; North American #2 (10 performances) ・June 26th-8 March 1st: North America #3 (21 performances) This is the 2020 schedule announced so far. It may seem a little unsatisfying to look at this, but they have spent most of 2019 performing live with almost no rest, and the final stage of their tour is “North America #2” in February. After that, we will take about four months off to prepare for the restart in the summer. The Chicago performance of this work is the 7th performance of “North America #1”, which is the beginning of 2020. It has been in the news that he recently appeared as a guest on Buddy Guy’s show, but this work was actually done on the same day. The location of this work, “Chicago Theater” and the club “BUDDY GUY’S LEGENDS” are about 10 minutes by car. We jumped into Buddy’s show, which started at 18:00, and performed our own stage at 19:30. This work recorded at such a show is truly exquisite. The strength of the core, the direct feeling, and the fineness of the details are sound board level. There is no sense of distance and you can vividly enjoy even the smallest details of the ensemble. But that alone is amazing. When you listen to it with headphones, the subtle hall sound is fascinating. It’s not the type that hides its subtleties, but the exquisite ringing adds exquisite depth to the exposed sound, and the fine grain of the wood gives it a smooth sweetness to the touch. This gives the simple phrases a nectar-like flavor, and creates a scorching heat in the white-hot vocals and improvisations. When you listen to it quickly, it’s as powerful as an official live album, and when you immerse yourself in it, you’ll feel the realism of the scene, and you’ll gradually feel something warm in your heart…this is a masterpiece of beauty and passion. Such a sound depicts a full show of a live band that will continue to be the strongest in 2020. Last year, the complete reproduction show of the famous album “Itoshi no Leila” became a hot topic, but this work is a regular style show. They are also a band that changes their songs drastically every night, so let’s organize them here. Original (9 songs)・REVELATOR: Until You Remember/Bound For Glory/Midnight in Harlem・MADE UP MIND: Do I Look Worried/All That I Need/The Storm・LET ME GET BY: Don’t Know What It Means・SIGNS: Strengthen What Remains/All The World Cover (11 songs)/Baby Don’t Do It (Marvin Gaye)/Down in the Flood (Bob Dylan)/Have You Ever Loved A Woman (Freddie King)/Keep Your Lamp Trimmed & Burning (Blind Willie Johnson) / Women Be Wise (Sippy Wallace) / Forty-Four (Roosevelt Sykes) / It Hurts Me Too (Tampa Red) / I Walk On Guilded Splinters (Dr. John) / More and More (Little Milton) / Whipping Post (THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND) / Space Captain (Matthew Moore)… and so on. In addition to originals, they also boast a huge repertoire of covers, and on this day they had a huge performance. More than half of the songs were covers, making it an unusually diverse show. Moreover, there are many rare songs. “Women Be Wise” by Bonnie Raitt, “Forty-Four” by Howlin’ Wolf, “Baby Don’t Do It,” “Have You Ever Loved A Woman,” “It Hurts Me Too,” etc. , a number of famous standards that have hardly been recorded until now were performed one after another, and the original “Strengthen What Remains” is also a delicious number. Skillful and passionate guitar, mellow groove, and deep vocals. And, with the ever-changing set list that no two shows are the same, and the interplay that never ends with a flash of inspiration… They say that a live show is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and each show is different. There are no bands that enjoy shows. This is a masterpiece that allows you to fully experience their latest stage with the best sound.
