The Derek Trucks Band - I Wish I Knew (How It Would Be Free)

[MrJbutner]

5:01 to 5:23 is just unbelievable!

[hankacyou]

最高や～

[megajames3000]

i wish i could play this slide is so hard

[neonick90]

5:01! Get in me! Fuck yeah!

[goldenchopsticks]

Derek at 2:01. How?!?!

[leozingy]

@goldenchopsticks He's tapping octaves on the fretboard with his right hand so he can reach for the slide with his left; the double stop lick is already played with behind the slide fretting. Can't get enough of this video!

[hembre7210]

derek trucks..my soul is freed by your music, i can honestly say i would not be the guitar player i am today if your music hadn't touched my ears

[sneakyhippoify]

Not playing slide???? WTF.

[dtoonzip]

He's shredding so hard that even the hippies have to stop dancing to watch.

[sterblau]

<3

[bfgallag]

someone slipped and hit the wrong button.

[guitarbobp11]

Mike Mattison= 90% soul and 10% affro

[diddymies]

I want that affro and that SG

[Cliffs0fDover]

This is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ShinySmack]

God, the drumming on this song is just sick. What an amazing bunch of musicians.

[madalfred87]

@ShinySmack they're really amazing!

[grunner9009]

Damn look at all those guys in the audience just standing there! I'm sitting here rocking out to this jam, its so full of energy and pure soul I don't know how those people couldnt show a little more life.

[waldo2384]

Where do you go to find an entire audience full of zombies who can't dance?

[alexsuperdude]

@waldo2384 theres all kinds of people who like to listen to music or attend concerts in different ways. some dance, sing along, some just listen closely, etc. I've found the only group who can't seem to understand how or why others wouldnt do exactly the same as them is the ones who dance at concerts. theyre always like pulling people to dance with them. idiots if you ask me. cant you see i prefer to just listen closely to the music i paid so much to see? especially when the music is so good

[theatlantisrise]

@waldo2384 I am a horrible dancer...but Ive been playing guitar for 9 years and keys for 10 years. I feel Derek's playing as raw energy and virtuosity in its purest form. And I believe he is the greatest to ever pick up an electric guitar, maybe behind Hendrix and Allman. So lots of us with musical talent, feel, and taste simply cant dance.

[Cliffs0fDover]

Best slide guitar player - hands down.

[mbrode08]

I dislike how everyone in the crowd is just standing there

[flugplatz21]

@mbrode08 You want the white people to dance? Really? JK. I know what you mean. I feel bad myself sometimes, just standing there, but that's what we do! I feel it, though! Don't doubt that!

[eduardoobregon]

i think that singer is a tragedy! id prefer the band to be entirely instrumental, someones got to know what im talking about? isnt just an excuse between the godlike solos?

[777mrmusicman]

@eduardoobregon have you ever seen them live? i thought the same thing. they would go on 20-30 minute jam sessions and the singer would just sit there. i do like his voice though.

[eduardoobregon]

@777mrmusicman no i havent, i dont live in the us, lucky you, seen them live and like his voice!

[ryanmooney92]

@eduardoobregon Mike is a fantastic singer, the band wouldn't be the same without him!

[eduardoobregon]

@ryanmooney92 yeah id rather have an instrumental band

[19Und1sputed06]

I think John Legend/Roots did a better job, but this guy really KNOWS this songs,takes a new groove too....dig it.

[ryebread1331]

the 3rd chord is a Cm7/F

[Hope6sic6]

any1 knows chords to this song ?? Espetially 3rd chord

[raresneagoe]

what is the name of these DVD?

[deltabi66]

@raresneagoe - it's in the title: Songlines Live DVD

[RGBLackson]

@deltabi66 thanks for that~! was just planning on asking the same question

[wingseclipsed]

@raresneagoe I "think" this is a bonus track from the Derek Trucks Band album called "Songlines", from 2006. The Derek Trucks Band performed this song on NPR-- (in the USA it's "National Public Radio") -- I was trying to get a Canadian friend of mine to go see Derek in concert. He heard this, passed on it, and then when he heard the exceptionally clear version on NPR, he was cursing himself for missing the opportunity to see him play in Quebec, I think it was. He's the greatest slide player!

[JimiHendrix574]

The one guy who disliked this. Fuck you.

[zaksen7]

@JimiHendrix574

cant believe someone could dislike this .... i assume he missclicked ^^

[MrSirDel]

@JimiHendrix574 But strong Bro...LOL...But I agree with you...Wow!! The Derek Trucks Band are just so good...it should be a criminal offence LOL

[nlandess]

@JimiHendrix574 Best. Comment. Evar.

[deaddan112]

I am a huge dead head obviously, but one thing i must admit the dead are my favorite band, and jerry is my favorite guitarist, but derek trucks is the best musician ever period.

[thenut8522]

@deaddan112 I love hearing Jerry too, and he still may be the most instantly recognizable... but I have never seen anyone play like DT. The guy instantly brings chills to my spine, I am DYING to see him

[deaddan112]

@thenut8522

Ive seen him live multiple time both wth the DTB and with the Allmans, and no matter who he's playing with its always a fantastic show.

[bluesboy25000]

The only version that beats this version is Nina's and you can quote me on that.

[ckpitt55]

only 4,200 views? are you fucking kidding me? thats a damn shame. these guys are phenomenal.

[jmkucerik]

@ckpitt55 ...and only 24 likes???

[Katiepoosful]

Love it, love it, love it. Derek rules. Shit this is so fab. Play it at my funeral guys.

[sabrehagen]

I've never seen so much expression in Derek's face as in 5:05 and 5:15. He must be really REALLY feeling it - you can certainly hear it in his playing!

[sabrehagen]

The thing is, they're all "Already Free" :)

[yheoi]

cooooool!!

[333joemc]

@rockstar2192 too true, the guy is a stone cold genius! Nobody comes near him when it comes to electric slide.

[BlewEyedSoul]

@333joemc Duane Allman?

[333joemc]

@BlewEyedSoul For straight bottleneck blues Duane was probably as good as Derek, but on the slide Derek does far more than Duane did such as Jazz, Indian classical music, Soul and Quali music. Not to discredit Duane's huge talent but for the above reasons on slide guitar I reckon Derek was a better player, but who knows if Skydog had lived beyond 24 I'm sure things could be different.

[trm10111]

@333joemc wow, I don't think anyone has ever voiced my exact opinion on the two quite that well. I agree 100%.

[333joemc]

@rockstar2192 Yeah I was thinking that too, there are a few seventh and minor seventh chords in there tho, can be quite awkward in open E.

[333joemc]

Does anyone know is Derek in standard or open E here? i'm trying to figure out what he's at, its not easy!
