Don Was by Dino Perrucci // TTB by Bill Kelly
Tedeschi Trucks Band made their five-show run in Japan even more special on Friday, June 14, welcoming bassist and producer Don Was to the stage for their Tokyo encore.
The band kicked off their show at the nation's capital with their own "Signs High Times," before later treating their Japanese fans to a trio of covers - The Box Tops' "The Letter," Bob Dylan's "Down in the Flood" and Willie Nelson's "Somebody Pick Up My Pieces."
TTB were obliged to perform fan favorite "Midnight in Harlem" near the tail end of the single set, and eventually drew the show to a close with Santana's "I Want More / Soul Sacrifice."
For their encore, TTB gave Tokyo a taste of what to expect at this year's LOCKN' Festival as Wolf Bros bassist Don Was sat in for "Statesboro Blues." (Susan Tedeschi will perform an entire set with Bob Weir & Wolf Bros at the Virginia festival this year, taking the headlining spot on Sunday, Aug. 25.)
Tedeschi Trucks Band will close their Japanese outing on June 16, before heading back to the United States for their traditional summer tour.
