Two of the very best live acts anywhere co-headlined this absolute clinic of a show at Saratoga Performing Arts Center, with the Tedeschi Trucks Band and Gov’t Mule both playing two-hour sets. Singer-songwriter Nolan Taylor ably got things started for the co-headliners.

Then “Key to the Highway,” famously covered by Eric Clapton and Duane Allman on Derek and the Dominos’ Layla album, with verses sung by Tedeschi, Haynes, Mattison, and an instrumental “verse” sung through Trucks’ screaming slide guitar. It was a  perfect ending to a full moon night. It was a pleasure to see these former Allman Brothers bandmates playing together and showing their legendary ability to express themselves and communicate with the guitar.
