In a weekend full of unexpected collaborations, LOCKN’ had a few more surprises in store for music lovers on Saturday night, as Tedeschi Trucks Band and Trey Anastasio used their scheduled performance to recreate Derek and the Dominos’ Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs.
As per the LOCKN’ Times, “This is the second time TTB performed a full album at LOCKN’. In 2015 the band recreated Joe Cocker’s Mad Dogs & Englishmen, along with the help of original members, including Leon Russell and Rita Coolidge and friends such as Chris Robinson and John Bell.”
Doyle Bramhall II – who, like Trucks, served time in Eric Clapton’s touring band – also added guitar to the Layla set, but it was the interplay between Anastasio and Trucks that most mirrored the album’s 1970 collaboration between Duane Allman and Eric Clapton.
The LOCKN Times adds, “Anastasio handled vocals on ‘Bell Bottom Blues’ and shared lead with Alecia Chakour on a stirring ‘Little Wing.’ Mike Mattison traded verses with [Susan] Tedeschi on ‘Anyday’ and sang ‘I Am Yours’ with keyboardist Gabe Dixon. Bramhall moved to the front on vocals and guitar during ‘Key to the Highway.'”
The set ended with TTB’s first-ever version of “Layla,” skipping the LP’s closer “Thorn Tree in the Garden.”

August 26, 2019 at 12:36 pmI don’t know what show the good reviewers were watching. LOVE Phish. Over 100 shows for 25 plus years but that was weak sauce. Trey looked like an idiot for the first half. Barely playing. Holding back. Staring at Derrick like a confused puppy. Ick. Was embarrassing. Like most of his sit ins. TAB and Phish. 5 star. Trey sitting in 1 star. EVERY time.
