there are some extraordinarily bizarre and depressing corners of KZread, but dang, when you stumble across the diamond in the rough like this, its fantastic....

Holy Shit! Literally. This is no mere throwaway jam. This is as real as it gets. Taj takes the lead, TTB lays down the irresistible groove, and Jerry puts the icing on the cake. You can find other stuff this good, but you can't find anything better.

I started my day watching this. What a GREAT way to get going ! Taj and Tedeshi Trucks. Dosen't get much better

I swear I've listened to this 20 times today. Love the trucks. But this is extra special.

Bloody oath mate .

What a freaking clinic! Taj Mahal teaching Jerry Douglas, Susan Tedeschi, Derek Trucks and company how it's done. My guitar teacher lamented to me once that talent is the cheapest commodity in the industry, which I can agree with to a point. But still, there are masters in the game and that room is filled with them. I mean come on, when's the last time you saw Jerry Douglas smiling from ear to ear? I can't get enough of this.

For Gods sake, this is “just” a back stage jam…..and Taj Mahal is working a sweat up! Jerry Douglas is a star here…..l.l.see him in the UK in Celtic Connections..pure genius. This is just pure gold.

This could never be reproduced .... stage or tape.....blows me away

What an experience for all you young folks!! Duane Allman said, He ain't just a man ya'll, he's a lesson in how to live!!!" So true!! He made me paint my mailbox blue!!

Blues is not gonna get better than this. Discovered Taj Mahal today and blues got me sloppy drunk, listened to this 20 times in the last 24 hours

The fact that he got Derek to smile as soon as started singing tell you everything you need to know☺️

Haven't watched this in about a year. Still one of the most joyous videos on the internet. Just the pleasure they all take in the process - GENIUS Derek Trucks completely happy to give way to Taj. Love it.

I am in my fifties and my first musical memory is Taj Mahal packing his leaving trunk. I feel privileged to be alive at the same time as Taj Mahal.

the dude playing the soda can and table is keeping it all together

I love the smile from Derek the whole playing. 😁

Taj Mahal is a national treasure... lord that man is BAD!

To me, this is pure gold. I would pay money money money to sit in that room. Damn!!!!!!

HUGE THANK YOU to the person that recorded this and POSTED IT for US Music Lovers and Fans !!!!!!!! this kinda behind the Seans song perp an ABSOLUTELY Fascinating

could you imagine ever in your life stumbling in on a session like this. holy moly.....

You cannot teach vocal "tone" quality or a true passion for the music. Taj has both in spades.

Year 2022, ageless! I wiil never be the same!!!!

One of the best jams I've ever heard. Amazing.

It is an absolute blessing to be able to see the process of this band learning songs like this. It's a look behind the scenes of what makes that band so damn good. I would honestly pay for a stream just to watch the band totally stripped down to basics like in this vid. For whatever reason, I feel like they can reach even higher highs/peaks just by using a simple backstage green room setup just like this. Because of that, their pre-show rehearsal vids like this one on youtube show them being able to completely harness the innate, raw musical power that they all possess, and be able to turn that into incredible music in any situation, whether the drummers are playing the coffee table and maracas, the vocals not amplified at all (but still cut through amazingly), or even derek playing through a really small combo amp, this music is still 100% as effective for communicating the feeling or message of a song like this, and can reach down to an even deeper part of your soul. When this band is stripped back just like this, you can guarantee that magic will totally happen.

Whoever is filming... please keep doing these fly on the wall videos of rehearsal.

I saw Taj the first time years ago when he was pulling out his fender amp and guitar out of his car. Amazing show! Simply the best.

Holy shit ..if you can stay still and dislike this .your soul is dead my friends. ..amazing ..

WAS THE MOST AMAZING SHIT THAT I HAD EVER SEEN FROM ANYONE!!! I love Taj Mahal, but please keep in mind that Taj is in the room with some true A-LIST PLAYERS...and mr. TRUCKS tops that list

Taj Mahal was a standout sensation back when sensations were a weekly occurrence. The 70's. Dressed now like the "Orange Hawaiian Punch Man". Soul. I miss it.

I have died and gone to Heaven. Amazing. Play it over and over for an hour now. So much talent in one room. I must be dead. We will meet on the Isle of Avalon. Peace.

Absolutely love the looks and smiles on Derek's face ! We are so very lucky!!

When the Master commands you to drop that beat you’d better be ready! This is amazing ❤

Taj Mahal is an alien from another planet.

Once he gets deep into that groove ,there ain't no stopping him.

Love how Derek just smiles at Taj he's a legend

Must have watched this a thousand times! Just doesn't get any better.

What kind of messed up world do we live in where this doesn't have more views?

This is one of the coolest , REALEST, videos Ive ever seen! My hat is off to all of you!

Jerry Douglas one of the biggest session dobro musicians ever. it's probably played on over 2000 country recordings from the 80s 90s and 2000's

This makes my soul happy!

I'm old 72 , and crippled up with arthritis, but when I play this, I still get up off my walker ..gotta shimmy and shake. This kind of music keeps you young!!!!

watching Taj and Tedeschi Trucks from the land of Taj Mahal. amazing musicians. love em

I love how Taj describes the energy and feeling of music.. I could never put into words but completely relate.. chase and make the feeling! Spread great cheer!😁☝️✨🎤📯

Amazing!!!! TTB and Taj together. It doesn't get any better than that!!

I just stumbled onto this little pot of gold baby.... and it's perfect.

I have watched this 150 times and Taj gets left hangin every time.

There is no way not to grin, ear to ear, at this performance. And they are all in the groove with the Big Man on this one!

Susan's face when he starts singing says it all!!!

So much to love about this, but today it's the sheer joy of Derek Trucks in getting to be a sideman.
