Susan Tedeschi, Derek Trucks, Eric Clapton and Others – The Sky Is Crying – Live at Jeff Beck Tribute Concert, London, 2023.
Susan dresses like a suburban mom taking her kids to a pool party, but plays like Hendrix and Band of Gypsys blowing the doors out of the Fillmore East. Awesome!
Susan Tedeschi’s appearance and attire make her touching performance even more convincing. A musical family all gathered together in memory of a legendary family member. So plainly real. It’s remarkable how a simple dress can contribute more depth and emotion to this piece of marvel than elaborate light shows or fireworks ever could.
Lyrics:
The sky is crying,
Can you see the tears roll down the street.
The sky is crying,
Can you see the tears roll down the street.
I’ve been looking for my baby
And I’ve been wondering where can she be
I my baby early one morning
She was walking on down the street
I my baby early one morning
She was walking on down the street
You know it hurt me, hurt me so bad
It made my poor heart skip a beat
I got a real, real fine feeling
That my baby she don’t love me no more
I got a real, real fine feeling
That my baby she don’t love me no more
You know the sky’s been crying
Can see you see the tears roll down my door
