"'Cause your soul’s sweet song’s still singin’,” Susan Tedeschi sang in the Tedeschi Trucks Band set opener on May 31, a heartwarming song of hope and a tribute to the late band keyboardist Kofi Burbridge, who passed away five years back. The 12-piece ensemble’s performance was musically elegant, dazzling, and exciting. Myriad layers and complexities of melodies, rhythms, and extended jams merged and blossomed during each song.

“Easy come, easy go / Easy left me a long time ago,” Eddie Vedder sang, shrouded in shadows on a dark stage during Pearl Jam’s opening selection of “Pendulum.” The Dark Matter World Tour touched down in Sacramento on May 13 and Vedder and the band displayed the musical muscle that has kept them at or near the top of the rock world for more than 30 years.
