Tedeschi Trucks Band & Marcus King Band Trade Sit-Ins In Augusta

Tedeschi Trucks Band played their second to last show of what’s been an incredibly emotional tour on Friday night at the William B. Bell Auditorium in Augusta, GA. Fans were in for a treat with the Marcus King Band on deck as opening support, which featured the debut of a brand new song and sit-ins from Derek Trucks and Kebbi Williams during a cover of Derek Trucks Band‘s “Every Good Boy”.

During the headlining set, the collaborations continued with Marcus King taking over guitar and vocal duties for a cover of Bob Dylan‘s “Don’t Think Twice” in the encore slot, trading lead vocals with Susan Tedeschi while Derek took a moment off the stage. Additional members of the Marcus King Band arrived on stage for the show-closer, including Dean Mitchell on saxophone, Justin Johnson on trumpet, Stephen Campbell on bass, and Deshawn “D’Vibes” Alexander on keys. With everyone packed onto the stage, the two bands tore through a cover of Joe Tex‘s “Show Me”. The collaboration recalled the many times the members of the two bands performed together during many of the shows on TTB’s “Wheels of Soul Summer Tour” in 2018. Like any great performance, however, Friday’s sit-in featured a unique musical journey of its own, one which everyone in the audience was surely thrilled to be a part of.

Bought these tickets long ago. Wasn’t sure how I would do making it through this show, but it was really beautiful. We ended up eating at a restaurant near the venue before the show and a few of the band members happened to be eating there too. We spoke with them for a while and they were very, very kind and humble and lovely. They’re giving it everything they’ve got – like they always do, but with a whole lot extra for Kofi. The Idle Wind to close the set was beautiful but damn, there’s a notable instrument missing. To end the night Marcus and Susan did a beautiful rendition of ‘Don’t Think Twice It’s Alright’. Then almost the whole MKB came out for a massive jam during ‘Show Me’ to end the show. Was sweet. Bittersweet. But, sweet.
