TTB -- 11 October, 2017, New York, NY (Beacon Theatre) with Nels Cline

[Sun Caught Fire]

Great Tedeschi Trucks Band show last night at the Beacon Theatre as part of a six night run and last night celebrating their 25th show at the Beacon. Not announced but a few different special guests and Nels joined and just ripped it up (no surprise) on Miles Davis' Ali. TTB tune Let Me Get By" and then the Allman Brothers' Ain't Wastin' Time No More. Video of the latter and for those in a hurry the Nels' solo starts at 5:20:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTI5mek6xVg&feature=youtu.be

Here's a couple of different video versions from the usual video tapers, starting with Ali (the first has Susan introducing Nels):

I wouldn't say I'm ever in a hurry for a Nels solo. I dig his playing, but more so the tasty licks and soundscapes than the elongated IG solos. That being said, the IG I heard last month in Kansas City featured probably the best Nels solo I've ever heard. I usually skip it on live shows.

"Ali" is nice, interesting choice. Didn't realized that the Tedeschi Trucks Band performed that tune.
