August is almost here and that means that another Wheels of Soul tour has come to a close. Tedeschi Trucks Band, Drive-By Truckers and the Marcus King Band made their last stop in Morrison, CO at Red Rocks Amphitheatre for their final two shows.
As with all the shows this summer, TTB invited up members from both Drive-By Truckers and the Marcus King Band for some killer covers. The first came about halfway through their set with Todd Smallie, former Derek Trucks bassist, on “Yield Not to Temptation > Turn on Your Love Light.” Marcus King and his crew were the next to come on stage. Check out his smokin’ sit-in on the set closing “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed.”
Finally, Drive-By Truckers’ Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley sat-in for the final encore of the evening, Neil Young’s classic anthem “Rockin’ in the Free World.”
