Tedeschi Trucks Band Keeps The Bust Outs & Collaborations Coming In St. Louis

The fourth annual Wheels Of Soul Tour made its penultimate stop at The Fabulous Fox Theatre in St. Louis on Thursday night. Once again, headliners Tedeschi Trucks Band brought out members of support acts Drive-By Truckers and The Marcus King Band for collaborations during the final performance of the evening. The TTB’s set also included the return of a long-lost song from 2013’s Made Up Mind.

Following sets from The Marcus King Band and Drive-By Truckers, guitarists Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi led their 12-piece unit through staples “Anyhow,” “Do I Look Worried” and “Laugh About It.” The Tedeschi Trucks Band then dusted off “Sweet & Low” for the first time in five years according to a @DerekAndSusan tweet. As Live For Live Music notes, the Made Up Mind track was penned by former TTB bassist Eric Krasno and his longtime Lettuce band mate Adam Smirnoff as well as Dave Gutter, Tedeschi and Trucks.

Last night’s set also featured the recently revived Bob Dylan cover “Down In The Flood” and recently debuted Ruth Brown cover “(Mama) He Treats Your Daughter Mean” among a total of 12 songs. Marcus King was the TTB’s first guest as he joined in on “The Sky Is Crying.” Later in the night, Drive-By Truckers guitarists Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley added to “Going, Going, Gone” – a Bob Dylan tune the Tedeschi Trucks Band initially started covering earlier this tour.

When the Tedeschi Trucks Band came back to the stage for an encore, they were aided by Drive-By Truckers multi-instrumentalist Jay Gonzalez. Jay played guitar on a cover of Joe Cocker’s “Space Captain” and one of the newest TTB originals – “Mr. High & Mighty.”
