catalog.<\/p>\n<p>The performance showcased many songs from TTB\u2019s ambitious four CD release from 2022 entitled I Am Moon.<\/p>\n<p>Music performed from I am Moon included, \u201cHear My Dear\u201d, \u201cFall In\u201d which featured long time collaborator and vocalist Mike Mattison, \u201cI Am Moon\u201d, \u201cCircles Around The Sun\u201d and an instrumental called

number from their 2016 release Let Me Get By during which Susan Tedeschi warmed up her sultry and powerful voice with the song \u201cAnyhow\u201d demonstrating her phenomenal vocals that only hinted at the heights she would reach this evening.<\/p>\n<p>The song \u201cLet Me Get By\u201d showcased keyboardist Gabe Dixon on organ jazzing through the song with some intense and protracted playing followed by Derek Trucks again employing some of his dazzling slide guitar work.<\/p>\n<p>Susan Tedeschi revived one of her songs from her early solo career called \u201cLittle by Little\u201d, a Junior Wells \/ Buddy Guy original that featured Tedeschi\u2019s own guitar mastery.<\/p>\n<p>Mike Mattison returned as lead vocalist with a jumping version of the Bessie Smith classic \u201cGin House
