Derek Trucks Band & Susan Tedeschi

Derek Trucks Band with Susan Tedeschi play "The Weight" in Toronto at Luminato Arts and Creativity Festival, 2009!
Unfortunately Derek and Susan are positioned waaaaaaay back on the stage and are obstructed by a semi-see-through sign.
My apologies for this, the poor video quality and shaky hands!

i didn't even realize it was susan T when i saw the show! - i wish someone would post the song they did right before this - now that was amazing - great version of this song too

I totally agree! They played "Anyday" and did an extremely awesome job!

Great playing....AND some important added significance -- this is the Aretha version, which was recorded in Muscle Shoals, with Duane Allman playing slide guitar on the track - same signature line that Derek plays here...ALSO, this stage is about 100 yards from the stage of Friars Tavern, which is now the Hard Rock Cafe. This was the stage that Levon and the Hawks played when Bob Dylan saw them in 1965. He hired them, and they became The Band, and in a couple of years, created this song.

DTB was incredible!!....the whole weekend was amazing...it's too bad you didn't know that it was Susan Tedeschi, when she came out on stage for the first time, many people were screaming her name
