Leon Russell & The Tedeschi Trucks Band - With A Little Help From My Friends (revisited)

This is from my neighbour Diamond Dave! He’s a Diamond!


Watch Tedeschi Trucks Band perform “With A Little Help From My Friends” live with Leon Russell [Feat. Chris Robinson, Susan Tedeschi, Dave Mason, Doyle Bramhall II], recorded in 2015 at LOCKN’ during Mad Dogs & Englishmen Revisited.


Sunday morning play . . . . . now Dave won’t mind my saying but I was slightly sceptical when he said to try this . . . . . not the biggest Derek Trucks fan (I like Susan mind you!) and yet of course the fact that the Guvnor was here in Our Leon . . . . I HAD to try it!



PLAY IT LOUD! You won’t be disappointed!


This is dedicated to my friends everywhere in the blogosphere but especially The Daves (Sealyman and Diamond ) . . . . .can you dig it? I think you CAN!

For my pal Leon and the boys over at FBS and VW you gotta get by with a little help from your friends!

Now look Andy we ALL know your thoughts on Derek, that was why I was a bit reluctant to mention this, but it is sooooooooo good (Chris Robinson is awesome on this IMHO), I had to bite the bullet!!!! In fact, I'll agree with you - worse part of this is when Delboy plays his slide piece. Keep up the great work. All the best neighbour. DD
