Susan Tedeschi concert was fantastic. I could not believe how she played the guitar and engaged the whole audience with her mesmerizing talent. I would go again & again to see her in concert.

She is an amazing musician. We love her & her music!!

Susan is one of my favorites and we enjoyed the concert. The music was excellent. But because the opening band had such charisma and showmanship, it was more noticeable that Susan's band seemed disconnected from one another. It is more fun for the audience when the band is having FUN PLAYING TOGETHER and off of one another. Only Susan connected with us. The band seemed to be doing their own individual thing. They were excellent musicians but didn't appear to be team mates if that makes sense.

Great music and a great voice. I also saw the Derek Trucks Band at another venue this summer. Tedeschi and her significant other, Derek Trucks, are wonderful performers with top rate bands. It's a treat to listen to Tedeschi's beautiful guitar playing and that great sounding voice of hers. Three great concerts this year (at various venues) have been Tedeschi, Trucks, the Allman Brothers featuring Derek Trucks & Warren Haynes, and a concert with Johnny Lang. You can't miss with any of these. -- And of course, Eric Clapton and Steve(ie) Winwood.

Nice summer.

My wife and I had seen Susan perform at the Crystal Ballroom, with her husband Derek Trucks, as they toured the Soul Stew Revival show last year. Based on that stellar lead vocal and lead guitar performance by Susan and her recent CD "Back To The River", I bought tickets to this gig at the Oregon Zoo, with the understanding that it would likely be a very different show. But I did not expect to come away more or less disappointed. We even left before her "last" song and the obligatory encore were finished, just so we could beat the crowds out of the parking lot. I don't typically do that, when I attend a concert by a musician/singer/songwriter or artist whom I respect, recommend (nay, gush about) to my closest friends, and actively support through CD purchases. The musicians in her backup group were all talented to varying degrees. The saxophonist was without a doubt the best player in the quintet, with the lead guitarist a close second, followed in orders of magnitude less by bassist, drummer and keyboard player. The drummer lacked dynamic restraint. Much of the time, he was overplaying and too loud, and subsequently detracted from Susan's performance as a result. That fact may have been more a function of the person(s) operating the sound system, but from where I sat, which was fairly close to the band, it sounded as though he often dominated the stage sound, as well. As a group, they were not particularly tight nor professional. In fact, the opening act, JJ Grey and Mofro, was far tighter and more professional. Susan's voice was in good form, but she didn't come through enough, on top of the band's overall mix, to suit my taste. Additionally, there was very little if any harmony vocals accompanying her. I realize that a lot of musicians don't sing and one must economize in the current financial atmosphere, but the show would've benefited enormously from the inclusion of even just one decent backup singer. Lastly, Susan's lead guitar sound was far thinner than what I heard from her at the Crystal Ballroom. Granted, this show was outside, and again some of the blame can be spread to the sound crew, but she also just did not perform the searing, climatic leads, with which I grew so enamored during the Soul Stew Revival. Maybe it was that she was not feeding off her husband Derek's unfathomable talent and indefatigable energy. I don't know. I gave this show a 3 out of 5, but only because I couldn't give it a 7 out of 10. It was better than a 3, but uninspired and forgettable enough to be less than a 4. (Sorry, Susan. I love your music.)

We had heard that Susan would be performing on the Blues Cruise this year...so we expected a blues singer. Boy - were we wrong...she is more reminiscent of Janice Joplin...very husky, rough voice. Great music but a little too rock and roll-ish for what we had expected. Also, very little connection with the audience...lots of time spent changing guitars every song or so with no patter as one would expect from a more experienced musician.

Awesome! Tedeschi simply has no peer. Second time I saw her this year. She is is reighing champ of Rock/Blues guitar + vocals.

Trever Hall was a great surprise. Very unique sound. A kind of Raggae-Rap-Rock fusion with a sprinkle of Swiss Alps mountaineer yodeling.

this was my first Zoo concert series event, so i wasn't prepared for the venue, in that i didn't bring a chair or a blanket, but, the mood there was charged as the music more than made up for any short comings on my part. I discovered Susan about 4 months ago and have enjoyed her music very much, so when i foun d she was coming to town i jumped on the chance to get tickets, i took my 15 year old daughter and she enjoyed it as well, although she is probably a few years from really enjoying the genre to the fullest, i will see her again next time through town and i will go to another Zoo event very soon.

My wife and I being "Huge" fans of Susan and going to every concert she has had in Portland, Or., found this appearance to be very lacking in her normal high energy shows.
To start, her opening band was extremely disappointing and should have stayed home. They were no better than our local garage bands and did not prepare the crowd for Susan at all. Her last opener at the Alladin Theater, "James Hunter" was extremely talented and got the crowd excited and ready for Susan, and she followed with a very exciting and inter-active show with the audience.
This time her show dragged and she seemed to be disconnected with the audience, repeating herself several times when she did try to talk to us.
As an entertainer myself, I know that when you give an encore, you "Never" close with a very maudelin slow song, which is what she did this time. You want the people bouncing out with rhythm and style. Her actual comment to us was "We are going to play this number because WE like it. Hope you do!" and then she buried herself into the band and pretty much ignored us. Not very cool.
We were sitting on top of the hill and saw many people leave about the half way mark of the show, and by the three quarter mark it was a steady flow to the gates.
Being die hearts, we stayed to the end, but many around us were not happy with the over-all appearance this time.
The one good thing we noticed is that Susan's guitar playing has "Greatly" improved and I applaud her much on her work there.
On a final note, we personally feel Susan is a solid artist in her own right, but she kept refering to her husband, "Derek Trucks & Eric Clapton" as if she needed to mention their connection to help carry her show. Though it is a great show when she and Derek are together, we go to her concerts because we believe in her talents and skill. It is her sound we want and she needs to know that she has "Made It" as far as we are concerned and she doesn't need anybody's shoulders to stand on to be accepted.

Susan Tedeshi has a voice that reminds me of Janis Joplin and Bonni Raitt mixed but she is her own woman all the way. She is a fantastic performer that gives it her all. With her sometimes raspy, sometimes sweet voice and amazing guitar playing she keeps your attention and the crowd moving, dancing, swaying. This is the third time I've seen her and some of the band members have changed but she always has an excellent band. My favorite song of hers that she sang was HURT SO BAD. The Portland zoo is an awesome venue with great sound. Couldn't have asked for a better night.
