[masterpusit]

i wish i knew how it would feel to be free is the song---its on the songlines album

[Aegis90]

'I wish i knew'

[racerx3065]

sonny landreth is one of the best i believe

[Awestrom]

haha pretty much!

[DriverSpeed]

Derek is a player but check out Joanna Connor. The best female slide player in the world.

[bunkman64]

Bonnie Raitt is pretty good too. Hey check out Sue Foley! Smokin' little red head with a left hand like lightning!

[irblueyes]

Duane Allman reincarnated.

[celiamana]

The Illuminating ANGEL of the guitar world.  "SOUL DEEP"

[ebeth8030]

Derek is a God, he is the man have seen him many times live!!

[JTrain43]

The song is "I Wish I Knew How (It Would Feel to be Free)"

[ewoldt]

From the album "Songlines" which is the best to come out in the last decade. Once you get past the commercial side of the record business, Songlines is one of those albums that sends music in a whole new direction.

[MotherBorg]

Saw this pretty baby live and rocking . He was born with the slide in his hand.

[bmsloane]

Derek Trucks plays the way i would if i could !!

[bee1or]

Just caught video and Derek, all agreed to your comments,

Derek is related to Butch, correct?

Passing the torch descibes this event, I am awed by this guitar maestro, and just when I thought all was dead.

Thanks

[bmsloane]

hello to a fellow D.T. fan !! my hope is that the world remains stable so that Derek and others with such a beautiful gift of music talent can reach their full potentials.. it is also my selfish hope because i PLAN to be here to HEAR every note that i can and to help my children understand what i hear in this music and music like it !! :-)

[bmsloane]

In his playing, no trace of anger, hatred or greed just pure HUMAN beauty and the complete connection of soul and sound... the ultimate achievement for an ARTIST musician !! those who are looked over and underappreciated by our society. Ask someone on the street about Derek Trucks and then ask about P Diddy.. then think about how ridiculous it is that one is so obscure and so valuable and the other so well known and detrimental to mankind

[enewc]

Yes he's Butch's nephew, says he grew up listening to Duane

[jazzysnaps]

Man! one of the most honest comments on you tube

[blooznut]

You said it. You know that's right. I hear that. Amen to that.

[zinnington]

The DVD is Great. Eric And BB forever. McLaughlin is beyond Great. Cheryl Crow and Mayer we all could have lived nicely without they suck. A little too much Slide guitar. Guitars are played with fingers. Would like to see Eric bring on people like Coryell and some other Jazz people.

[shitflinger]

this entire festival is on dvd guys, i highly suggest picking it up. it made a great gift for my father.

[tomvayo12]

wonder it the big sreens ever wierd him out

[bluesguy33]

Best player on the fest.

[synesthesia67]

amazing what derek can do with the slide...

[yodiewan]

The song is "I Wish I Knew (How It Would Feel To Be Free)". I remember the first time I heard Derek and the band play this song. It made such an impression on me that I don't think I'll ever forget. I've seen the band 4 times since then, and every time, I've been blown away.

[Yansfeld]

Soo good. I love around 1:10 when you can see Todd's face and he's just so happy and into it.

[djeshoes]

Todd's ALWAYS smiling and for good reason. He plays with the best guitarist alive (apologies to EC).

[ozzman334]

does any one have him doing highway 61 with JOHNNY WINTER

[enewc]

Yeah unfortunately I did not get that one... Limited space on my camera's SD card. But let's hope everything will be on the DVD.

[Ehrabe]

Seen him in Denver and was the best show musicaly I've ever seen. And Susan can also get down. great post.

[boogee08]

a genuine master like eric. derek is just awesome.

i was there!!! it was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G

[mtskier05]

Derek is my hero! I was there... my 3rd time seeing DT! that was an amazing show!

[beatty101]

Anyone have a clip of that solo Derek's wife played? Seriously my jaw dropped when she wailed it out. I can't wait for the DVD to come out.

And I agree, Derek is the new up and coming guitarist.

[enewc]

No, I missed that one. I didn't see it coming, either. Last time I saw her the guitar work was not as good as it was during this concert.

[enewc]

Thanks. Derek Trucks was great, I had the impression Clapton was passing the torch to him. He gave us several great solos like this one.

[bluesguy33]

Yeah this is I Wish I Knew. You were way closer than I was.

[daitomi]

Nice!!

This song's name is "I Wish I Knew".
