Hanging In The Big Apple And Night Two of TTB At The Beacon

3/21/2026 - New York, New York - I started my day in the Big Apple early with a stop at Tim Hortons only steps from my hotel the nice Courtyard by Marriott New York Manhattan / Central Park. I hopped on the Downtown A train from Penn Station to the Brooklyn Bridge. I decided to walk the Brooklyn Bridge on this nice cool NYC morning. It allowed me to get a few miles in and offered nice views of the Manhattan skyline, Statue of Liberty and surrounding city. I headed back to Manhattan uptown to 86th Street via the subway and walked to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The museum was fantastic with vast amounts of classic works from the likes of Picasso, Van Gogh, Monet, Rembrandt and Renoir to name a few and there was also a great musical instrument exhibit. After the museum, I decided to walk thru Central Park on this gorgeous March day and I headed to Times Square and grabbed and early seafood feast at Red Lobster. I then headed back for night two of Tedeschi Trucks Band at the soldout Beacon Theatre. I headed in tonight to my seat in the first row of the balcony, an excellent seat, and was greated by several ushers who remembered me from the night prior, they provided great customer service. The band came out a little after the 7:30 start time and played two epic sets. They opened with Crazy Cryin' from their new album Future Soul and played some nice covers including Derek and the Dominoes' Bell Bottom Blues and Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad? and Sly & The Family Stone's Everyday People. Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi provided plenty of excellent guitar work. They closed set one with Bound for Glory. The band sounded tight again on this night and included Gabe Dixon on keys, Mike Mattison on vocals and guitar, Brandon Boone on bass, Tyler Greenwell and Isaac Eady on drums and a horn section with Kebbi Williams on sax, Emmanual Echem on trumpet and Elizabeth Lea on trombone. I thought the sound mix could have been better but it was still very good. The second set opened with Derek & Susan being joined by a surprising special guest, Cindy Lauper, on a nice cover of the Hambone Willie Newbern's Roll and Tumble Blues. They did a nice cover of CSNY's Ohio and played their classic Midnight In Harlem and closed the set with a cover of Dr John's I Walk On Guilded Splinters. They came out for a single encore of Show Me. Another great show and I headed down to Times Square post show to see the crazies one more time. Next day, I grabbed some lunch and hit Penn Station taking the Amtrak train back to the Roc, another successful NYC mission... Slideshow
