Tedeschi Trucks Band Closes Out Four Night Stand At The Warner Theatre

On Saturday night Tedeschi Trucks Band brought their four-night, split-weekend run at the Warner Theatre in Washington, D.C. to an end. The Southern rock and soul act presented “An Evening With…” format for their finale, which saw them dust off a David Bowie cover and offer up a double-dose of Sly & The Family Stone tunes during their encore.

Tedeschi Trucks Band kicked off their first of two sets at the historic 1,800-plus capacity venue with what has become of their signature songs “Midnight In Harlem,” following it with the relatively new one – “Shame.” Next, they offered up their take on David Bowie’s “All You Pretty Things” busting out the Honky Dory track for the first time since February of 2015. The old folk-blues tune “Chevrolet” followed as they dipped back into their own catalog for “Until You Remember” from 2011’s Revelator. A cover of “Loving You Is Sweeter Than Ever” from The Four Tops gave the multi-piece act a chance to show off their soulful side on the Motown tune. “Don’t Know What It Means” and “I Want More” from their most recent studio album brought their fourth set of the run to a close.

The band’s final frame in our nation’s capital got underway “Let Me Get By” and “Drift Away.” Neil Young’s “Alabama” and a take on “I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free,” which was originally recorded by Bily Taylor and later became an anthem for the Civil Rights movement followed. The back end of the set saw them look to their cover of Johnny Moore’s Three Blazer “How Blue Can You Get?” as they closed out the night by pairing the traditional song “Will The Circle Be Unbroken?” and their other signature song “Bound For Glory.”

Tedeschi Trucks Band brought the quartet of shows to an end with a two-song encore of Sly & The Family Stone classics from their 1969 album Stand!. The meaty ensemble offered up “Sing A Simple Song” for the first time since November of last year, with “I Want To Take You Higher” putting the exclamation point on the evening.
