Deshawn ‘D’Vibes’ Alexander Joins Tedeschi Trucks Band For Sly Stone Medley At The Beacon

Tedeschi Trucks Band held the sixth and final show of their 2025 run at The Beacon Theatre on Saturday night. The band’s 64th sellout at The Beacon featured a nod to Bob Dylan on his birthday and the emergence of guest keyboardist Deshawn “D’Vibes” Alexander during the encore.

TTB went without an opener for the final pair of two-set “Evening With” shows at The Beacon. “Signs, High Times” served as Saturday’s set one opener. After stacking up “Part Of Me,” “Do I Look Worried and “Little By Little,” the setlist turned to two songs by Bob Dylan, whose 84th birthday was on Saturday. Susan Tedeschi led a heartfelt rendering of “Lord Protect My Child” before keyboardist Gabe Dixon sang “Tangled Up In Blue.”

The first set continued with a sequence built out of “Crying Over You” into “Leavin’ Trunk” into “Volunteered Slavery.” The ensemble then offered “All The Love” and ended the first half with “I Want More” going into Santana’s “Soul Sacrifice.”

Set two highlights included the first “Tell The Truth” in over a year, the newly debuted original “Moon,” and guitarist Derek Trucks steering jammed-out expressions of “Shame” and “Bound For Glory.”

The encore on Saturday began with the TTB horns and Dixon the occasion of their 64th Beacon sell-out by playing a bit of The Beatles’ “When I’m Sixty-Four.” The finale began in earnest with “Soul Sweet Song.” D’Vibes then joined Dixon on keys for a medley of Sly & the Family Stone songs, “Sing A Simple Song” and “I Want To Take You Higher.”
