Tedeschi/Trucks Band at Red Rocks a couple of weeks ago. First time seeing a show there and it was a good one. I didn’t do a head count but they have at least 10 or 12 people in the band and they put on a great show. Derek has matured beautifully as a guitar player since his days as a child prodigy and then with the ABB. And I didn’t realize before just how good a singer and guitar player Susan is.
My wife and I were supposed to see Lucinda Williams opening for Big Thief a couple of days later at RR. The show was delayed a couple of hours due to rain and lightning in the area (quite a light show!). We were soaked and cold after waiting in line for well over an hour and finally decided to leave before they eventually let everyone in. Big time bummer.
Up next is Iris Dement at the tiny Kate Theater in Old Saybrook CT in a couple of weeks. Have seen Iris five or six times, including one (or two maybe?) with John Prine. She’s an all-timer.
