    Susan has been mentioned several times in this forum under various threads, so to keep the moderator happy I’m starting a new topic.

    One observation I would like to make about this Q & A is Lu’s admiration for Susan Tedeschi, specifically her performance at the Joplin tribute. Lu said almost exactly the same thing the night of the tribute where she was impressed with Susan. The more I think about it, the more I think she would be a perfect opening choice for Lu.
    End QUOTE:

    Susan opened in Philly for Lucinda back in 2005.
    This next link is a very recently posted video of a concert ( from where ? ) by the husband/wife team in high quality.

    And if it looks anything like the above video I’m in for a real treat to see Susan at a free outdoor concert in Lewiston, NY on Tuesday July 13th at Artpark. My first Lu concert was here 3 years ago when Charlie Louvin opened.
    Honestly, because I live in the Niagara region of Ontario, I can drive no more than 4 country blocks to the Niagara River and see Artpark.
    So I’m ready to bring my lawn chair, arrive early and try to secure a front row spot.
    Here is the link to Artpark and a brief article on Derek and Susan.

    I would love to see Derek and Susan together! I never realized she had opened for Lu !

    Susan opened for Mellencamp in ’99, and from what I understand, JM was a courting Lucinda to open for him in ’99, however, she wasn’t available at the time. 😉

    As a side note, in 2007, Derek joined JM and band on stage at FA to fill in for guitarist Mike Wanchic, sidelined by the birth of his son. AMAZING! Susan came out to sing “Pink Houses” with JM and Derek on guitar. JM told the story about how his “girlfriend” Susan was playing and Derek was in the wings many times on that ’99 tour as they were dating at the time. A few bloggers/writers picked up on that line and wrote JM’s former girlfriend joined him to sing PH. 😆

    You have a banner show week going for you, lwj!

    Awesome photo! From the Janis Joplin tribute, backstage, I assume.

    Not worth a new thread. DT is mentioned in this article about one of his “uncles”…

    That’s nice LWjetta. Your observation about the Derek Trucks & Susan Tedeschi Band is really a valid one. I really enjoyed reading your review about Susan and the Joplin tribute. Please keep sharing such informative thoughts. Good work.
