On Sunday, August 11, 2024, Tedeschi Trucks Band took their Deuces Wild tour to Michigan Lottery Amphitheatre at Freedom Hill in Sterling Heights, Mich. During the summer stop, the band provided takes on self-scribed classics, pulls from lauded repertoires of The Allman Brothers Band, Aretha Franklin, Bobby “Blue” Bland, Billy Taylor and Leon Russell, in order to achieve a set which amalgamated their appreciation for artist that came before them, and modern focus, with added help from opener, Margo Price, who opened the show, and returned during its final moments.
After concluding the main frame with Derek Truck Band’s version of Taylor’s “I Wish I Knew,” Tedeschi Trucks Band took a momentary pause before returning to The Great Lakes stage and ensuing rendition of “Signs, High Times.” On the other side of the group’s fourth studio album pick was the 2024 dust-off, “Stranger in a Strange Land,” a Leon Russell original, which entered TTB’s archive in 2019 before ultimately being shelved in 2020. This year, the husband and wife duo returned to the borrowed number, practicing it nightly, with initial help from Price during Aug. 9’s Milwaukee appearance.
With help assigned, Price and her own band joined their hosts for Russell’s 1971 release, which originated from Leon Russell and the Shelter People. For last night’s take, the packed stage bubbled with instrumentals and tossed lines, shared by Price and Tedeschi. The addition of horns, tambourines, and complimentary guitar riffs excelled the delivery. Previously, Price’s presence was called the night prior, Saturday, Aug. 10, during the band’s cover of Bob Dylan’s “Don’t Think Twice.”
