Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi #1 San Francisco 6-16-07

[mykkrae]

@GaryNull Are you implying that bass is only to be played with fingers and guitar only with picks? Have you heard classical guitar? Flamenco? Lindsey Buckingham, Mark Knopfler, Chet Atkins? What about bass pickers like Carol Kaye, Chris Squire, and the occasions when John Entwistle used a pick (amongst a variety of techniques)? I feel sorry for you because your closed-mindedness only makes you a one-dimensional musician.

[musicisart2]

Go see the TTB - rarefied air - that can't last forever

[cgabler91191]

Great combo of voice and slide guitar and sax. Derek and Susan are husband-and-wife team of great talent. I saw Derek tour with Eric Clapton in 2007 - fantastic show!

[GaryNull]

This guy plays the same boring blues licks I've heard a million times.

Plus, if you don't play with a pick, you have no balls or dynamics.

Susan is cool though.

[anaturaladdiction]

@GaryNull You have 100 times more dynamics without a pick. Clearly you havent mastered finger style playing if you think you cant get dynamics with your fingers.

[lampshad3126]

@GaryNull get ur ears checked bro NOBODY plays like Derek you can listen to any Derek song a million times and always hear something new

[T103168]

@GaryNull you are a complete dumbass for that comment are you listening or just stupid have you ever tried to play w/o a pick

[GaryNull]

@T103168 lol,. . yes, I play the bass , . . an instrument that sounds good with flesh against strings. I also play guitar and without a pick, it sucks. Case closed.

[whatsitallabouthey]

@GaryNull I know what you mean. Ry Cooder and Mark Knopfler, too. Their sound too totally sucks.

[ISS5731]

@GaryNull You are a fucking fagtron for saying that. You clearly have no slide guitar experience.

[phaedrabandatlanta]

This is how I go Church

[4rainbowed]

Ron Holloway on sax!! I remember him when he played in the Washington, DC clubs --he was in Gil Scott Heron's band and then Dizzy Gillespie's band before Diz died. So now he plays with Susan Tedeschi! Nice.

There is no better slide player than Derek alive.

[craiglouis]

@4rainbowed Ron played with Gov't Mule one of the six times I've seen them. He's great. I'll miss the Derek Trucks Band & only got the chance to see them once (20 feet away). Seen Derek 4 other times with ABB & once 2007 in Soul Stew Revival @ Snowmass festival. He & Susan are the greatest at what they do & Derek is indeed a lucky man. He is a centered peaceful man that reminds me of the early seventies players and of course, Duane. No one can touch him except possibly Warren on a good night.

[4rainbowed]

@craiglouis Yes. But I felt that the DTB wouldn't last b/c essentially, Derek & Susan were competing with one another musically- sounds weird, I know- and they'd shine most on occasions like this. Truth be told about Ron though, good on the sax but a huge dissapointment as a person. I'm waiting to see what Susan and Derek have waiting for us all!

[thenut8522]

@craiglouis I love Warren... but no man. That sentence should have read "No one can touch him." Seeing Clapton, Santana, Gibbons, Trey, Warren, and Bramhall react to Derek's licks pretty much tells you everything you need to know.

Living legend.

[cisckd79]

Thanks, "I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free"

Nina Simone, i like this cover alot better, cant go wrong with Susan and Dereck....

[cisckd79]

Anyone know the name of this track?

[syncopater999]

@cisckd79

I think it is "I wish I knew how it would feel to be free" from Derek Trucks " Live at Georgia Theatre" CD

[oicsaywhat]

this is sweet sweet music to my ears

[drummertech57]

Love all of this!

[Airicology]

ah derek trucks...

because of him i bought a glass slide :)

although, to my disappointment, i cant come close to playing as good as he can.

Rock on, Derek! You're doing a great thing to music :)

[Blackoutwalkin]

Dont worry, it takes some time to get it down (slide) but it's worth it :)

[grabacarli]

zooey1223 you read my mind!

I wish MY wife sounded that good

[unknownkingdom]

I hope they never get divorced as so many celebrities do.

[Peacebabe2009]

Love this..thanks for putting it up!!

[Zappafan1980]

Susan has an amazing voice i love how she sings from 2 : 22 to 2 : 32

And Derek Trucks is the Slide Guitar Master

[Bob6stringer]

Can't get enough Susan love, can't give enough either. And Derek, long live your slide work, and the both of you.

[zooey1223]

フロントの二人がご夫婦ということで、とても素敵です。この動画­を見てファンになりました。

それにしてもいい音で撮れていますね～。

[peplreallysuck]

I wish I could give like I'm longing to give!

[jamfuss]

Why dont the people put the whole damn song on? It makes me sick to hear something incomplete.

[Souroush]

derek is all right but susan steals the show

[rightsoimben]

Seriously, they just plain belong together! His unique accompaniment with her soulful voice = powerhouse team and tears in my eyes. I am dying to see either of them live, but would die to see them together.

BTW...so pissed I missed New Years this year.

[terrytate259]

you're right, they accompany each other perfectly. i'm seeing derek tomorrow night in boston!

[mah38900]

Hopefully they'll stay together for a long time.

It must be a little rough spending so much time on the road.

[gianello1982]

ubelieveble amazing performance, I love this couple! Thanks God,save the soul, save the blues save dereck and susan

[1947Chief]

what a lovely lady with a beautiful voice

[ericaroane]

Susan's A Class "A" Vocalist/Musician/Performer!!!­!

[leanintolife]

Is Derek always using the same shirt...:)

[ericaroane]

maybe its his favorite?

[dnnsks]

It's kind of cool in a way- he's just wearing the same shit he would if he were sitting around at home. Very laid back and unpretentious.

[turbokevin]

My apologies.. trying to respond directly to Neustrias ridiculous post and it double posted in the main comments..

On a positive note, I saw Susan and Derek this summer and they were unreal.. fantastic show that was one of the musical highlights of the year for me~

[Neustria]

Susan Tedeschi and Barack Obama are both proof that black and white can come together in the same person with a beautiful result.

[MarinNovak]

She doesnt look like she has black blood or has she?

anyway it doesnt matter

shes very good looking

[JAXJINGLES]

Susan always dresses up(well at least 9 times out of 10). I like that about her.

[alstuart56]

gotta love Susan

[wileyjake]

I saw Derek play at age 11 and again at age 15. Was blown away both times.

[wileyjake]

that is to say when Derek was ages 11 and 15 -- not me.

[javanildo]

lol

verry good!!!

[SStockstill]

Soul Stew

[guinness25]

I Wish I Knew is the song. DT & ST are a truly royal blues couple...

[DriverSpeed]

If you want to hear a slide guitar. Check out Joanna Connor.

[amboshell]

yeah what's the name of this song?

[lanotwo]

what is the actual name of this song? thanks.Great performance

[TadRapidly]

Derek is the chosen one.

[TadRapidly]

I don't care about politics, just music. Derek Trucks has redefined slide virtuosity regardless of who happens to be singing.

[mpoke17]

if it wasnt for Derek, No one would know who Susan was (including me). Derek is a much better musician than Susan (even though she has an amazing voice) she doesn't come musically close to Derek. Everyone has their own opinions though

[davemustaineismyhero]

are you insane derek trucks is the one who is bringing music back to good. Music has taken a fall now a day. Susan and Derek make each other come out of the comfort zone. Derek plays some of Susans music and she rocks in Dereks music. For you to say tht Derek is holdin her back..jjust makes you sound moronic wake up

[hotlanta71]

Ron Holloway is to Derek Trucks as King Curtis was to Duane Allman (at least to some extent!)

[OceannaAurora]

Is there another king and queen of real music? Please.

No.

This is it and it needs more recognition. Tired of all the attention on bozo druggies.

[unscrupulousrane07]

Bozo druggies? I agree they need way more recognition, but now we're focused on what Britney Spears fucked up now. If anyone deserves attention, it is this band, without a doubt in my mind. Not some lip- syncing pop Hannah Montana bitch.

[OceannaAurora]

bozo druggies=Britney,etc.

King and queen of REAL music=Derek and Susan.

[davemustaineismyhero]

AMEN

[fiddlefolk]

man, listen to the band respond to derek! great players always surround themselves with a cast of players!!! just think, derek goes home from a hard tour to susan. lucky bastard....

[ih8thishit]

I loved Duane, but Derek is soooo much better it's almost impossible to comprehend. Of course he had Duane's work to learn and build from. Derek is the only guitarist since the death of SRV, talented enough to share the rare air of SRV, Duane Allman and Jeff Healey. (There's more, but those legends have all passed... Derek is the only living "god" still on the rise)

[theriffer]

so damn good!...I can hear Duanne in there tho.... :)

[krapptauer]

Derek can play real melodies with that slide. It is diffucult. Try it. Elmore James played just licks.

[dnnsks]

I love susan. and thats all I have to say about that

[michaelnikosey57]

what an amazing singer and guitar player, and derek trucks is just to much what can i say ............WOW

[DTrucksEnthusiast]

This is what keeps me goin everyday... bravo. I really hope their kids have already begun either singing or playing guitar. (despite how young they may be)

[oicsaywhat]

Oh by the way thanks for posting such great music couldnt be happier

[oicsaywhat]

These two never let me down from Wanee ,New Years Eve to wherever I see them. They give me such joy when they perform.

[amboshell]

Yes.

[burgess331]

just love the talent that they both exude!!!!

[mytheropy]

The guitar is talking like Peter Frampton.

[d21cohen]

love watchin derek and susan have music sex on stage

[jimmyjubejube]

hell yea. soooo much sex.

[alexsuperdude]

if you wanna hear sex on stage, get the soul serenade from the night before 6/15. go to archive-dot-org you'll find it. i was there. i think i might have cried. i listen to the recording daily basically

[bluesy13]

Awesome!!!!!Susan always Rocks the House!Saw her at a BluesFestival!!!!!She is already a Legend!!!!!LONG LIVE THE BLUES!!!!!!!!!!!

[daviemcf]

Magic!!!

[himasf]

What's the name of this song?

[StewPhillips]

I wish I knew how it would be to be free

It's on songlines

[himasf]

Thank you!

[ljhyahoocom]

Terrific...they`re both so great & together..wow.

Blue Laura

[sophie2392]

derek trucks makes slide look so easy....

[himasf]

amazing! you can feel every note of that guitar and susan's voice is rough and sweet at the same time (I don't know how to explain it!).

[gixxerloverletsgo21]

omg this rocks, susans awesome voice and the incredible slide playin' trucks; awesome!!!
