Maybe it was the warmup band that set me in a poor frame of reference. Concert was generally disappointing. Too much Tedeschi, not enough Trucks. And wassup with putting Mike Mattison in the backup vocals category? That's just wrong! The double drumset seemed superfluous. It was like a corporate merger and they couldn't decide which middle manager to cut. I miss Todd Smallie. New bass player is over the top, though I enjoyed his Bensonesque guitar work as featured soloist.

Brilliant solo by Kofi Burbridge, especially on flute.

Tedeschi may be a competent blues guitarist, but really...doesn't compare to Trucks on guitar. Her rhythm playing drowned out his soloes in the beginning, and the guitar sound was poor. With all the beauty and many colors that both the guitar and human voice can offer, I find her singing really one-dimensional, like a loud Texas country singer. Can we dig anything that's not Szforzando? Well yeah, if allowed.

The audience seemed enthusiastic, but suffering from ADD. They kept getting up and down, going out for more beer. Some were having shouting matches during Trucks soloes. What th...??

I'm going to save my money and skip the Cockeysville, Maryland show.
