If there is anyone who smiles more and enjoys life more than Todd Smallie [EDIT - corrected spelling], I haven't met them. Todd mentioned that is 13 years this month that he hooked up with Derek Trucks. He sat in on at least 3 tunes and had a mile wide grin the entire time. William Greene from Susan T's band is also one who THOROUGHLY enjoys playing and it shows in his expressive performance. How gracious is of Susan to let him do his own thing and be himself. Not too many stars would let him ham it up the way he does on stage. He sounded very Billy Preston-ish for sure. Also of note is that all the extra performers in the house & others who support them (Mike Mattison, Paul Olsen, Todd Smallie, Oteil Burbridge, Dave Yokel sp? who played guitar wonderfully with Scrapomatic, Marty Wall, Derek's guitar tech who's name escapes me and others)all watched Susan's entire set from the floor on the side. You know they've all had a chance to watch her before many times but she's one you don't want to miss, so they caught every note. Yeah, there are a few more pure beautiful runway models in this world, but there is no one more sexy than Susan Tedeschi when she is taking a guitar solo. She flirts with the crowd right before she concentrates for the powerful build up in her solos. In another era, she would have been playing to 10,000 people last night. I tend to forget how good she is in between times seeing her. What Hophead said.
