Warren Haynes has an outstanding blues voice, and Susan can wail. Warren and Derek are simply amazing. Enough said
I've watched this 50+ times and every time the hairs on my arms stand up during Derek Trucks solo. This is what music is about. What a performance from everyone. The performance and the audience there with every note.

Here, look, I'm taking the microphone, still facing at you. We're getting back to the song! " then a head small twitch "Get back there, now... *I would rather*...!!*"

First of all, I am so proud of a President of the United States that would offer his home for an in home concert by 3 of the greatest current blues players in the country and you knew he was digging it. I can never get enough of these three together. They play off of each other so well.
Susan is a fantastic blues singer! - Love it.
i have heard a lot of great versions of this beautiful song and this is one of the best
Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks were one in heaven, and when they came to earth they came a little undone. But if you saw it from the stars, you'd see no space between them.
WoW!! What a moment. So lucky to be there with them during this 'most excellent' show!!!! Bless y'all! 😍
Warren Haynes...................THE MAN
3 legends leaving it all out there for us to enjoy! Thank you Thank you Thank you, Derek, Susan, and Warren!!!
Etta was the great originator of this song. Didn't think anyone could sing it better than Beth Hart, until I saw this. Susan T kills it on the very same level as Beth Hart! Love Warren and Derek too! This is a five star performance hands down.

Had not seen the Beth Hart version (w. Joe Bonamassa) until I saw it referenced in some comments here. Beth and Joe definitely left it all out on the floor, but to me Beth is more Joplin than Etta, and my personal preference stays with Susan.

@@janflewelling6277 I also never thought I’d hear a great performance of this song other than the one that Beth Hart did with Joe Bonamassa, until I heard this one! But, as a comparison of Susan’s voice with that of Janis Joplin, I think Joss Stone is more similar to Janis’s, esp with her rendition of a ‘Piece of My Heart’, live in Suica concert! Joss really nails it in this one - and I personally like it better than the one by Janis! However, back to this one - ❤ it with them together, and Susan’s voice shines ✨!

This is my #1 all-time blues performance. Trucks’s AM radio-like bottleneck blues tone, Tedeschi’s vocals, and Haynes’s tasty little fills just make this thing ethereal. It gives me chills every time I listen, and I’ve watched this video dozens of times. “I was just… I was just… I was just sittin’ here thinkin’…” hits me in the feels like nothing else. I’d give my left arm to see these three in concert in a small venue like that.

@@elainemeyer5062 To clarify, my comparison to Janis was Beth's version, Susan is closer to Etta in my opinion.
I drove 16 + hours round trip to see TTB in Richmond VA 3/14/ 24 I drove to the concert and back ❤ wish Warren was a special guest but best concert I needed for my soul❤.
Something I always come back to with this is how Derek’s solo feels so integral to the song, it’s not a solo they threw in just because. And it’s because Derek doesn’t just play the guitar in the solo - he makes it sing
This is it folks! It's the spirit of Duane, of Jerry and of Janis. The talent pours out on to the floor...simply stunning!

This gives me cold chills!!! I have played this so many times. Susan & Warren, are so good and DEREK TRUCKS takes this song places it's never been. I wish everyone could hear this.
This is the best live performance available on YT imo. I’ve made my wife cry too before when I let the soul flag fly high (Otis Redding-These Arms Of Mine) but Derek takes it to a higher level not attainable by us mere mortals. And Warren’s opening notes in F Maj just slay me. Politics has no business here. The White House just happened to be the venue that night...
