On Feb. 29, Tedeschi Trucks Band performed at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium, which was the band’s final performance for four months. The show was highlighted by an extended sit-in by Jerry Douglas, which included a Trucks/Douglas duo performance of The Allman Brothers Band’s “Little Martha” to open set two.
The first set began with “Learn How to Love,” followed by “Don’t Know What It Means.” During the set, TTB played a slew of covers: The Box Tops’ “The Letter,” Bob Dylan’s “Down in the Flood,” “Somebody Pick Up My Pieces” by Willie Nelson and Charles Segar’s “Key to the Highway.” The set closed with “Idle Wind.”
The second set began with Trucks taking the stage with Jerry Douglas. The two performed “Little Martha” before the rest of the band took the stage. Douglas stuck around for the first half of the set, during which he played on “Strengthen What Remains,” a cover of Derek and the Dominos’ “I Am Yours” and much more.
After Douglas left the stage, Tedeschi Trucks Band dropped into “Midnight in Harlem,” which featured a typically stirring solo from Trucks. The set closed with a trio of covers: B.B. King’s “How Blue Can You Get,” “I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free” by Billy Taylor and, finally, another Allman Brothers cover, this time “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed.” For the encore, TTB chose Funkadelic’s “Good to Your Earhole.”
