really wish i was still in my home state when this happened... my brother met Derek that night and got a hilarious picture taken with him. It was probably the worst possible picture taken of DT ever. My brother said he was super down to earth and great to chat with, which I've heard from everyone I know who has had the privilege of meeting him. I love Derek Trucks!! Thank you mainesnowrider.
this crowd was very bad....so much talking and making noise during the performance...musicians from some cultures find this to be disrespectful and applause should only be given only after the performance.
After seeing so many great players in my lifetime i'm not easily impressed .( i don't wish to sound smug , i'm just bored with the predictable pentatonics) Most guitarists sound very similar, from that Clapton/Hendrix school. THIS young man has my vote every time. Derek T & Sonny Landreth are like a cool, fresh, inspiring breeze. I wish Derek a very long and fruitful career. Thank you mainsnowrider.
I get ya !! Sonny Landreth is the devil!! Derek Trucks is always slipping in a different twist to his playing also! I am glad someone else has heard of Landreth too!!
There is a bootleg tape out of Duane Allman and the ABB practicing this. Duane was introduced to jazz and loved miles davis etc. he and the other members recorded this at a practice. i have that and many other rare Duane stuff.
I agree that it is not much on the Allman side, except for a few lines where it shows the Southern feel in the background. It sounds a lot more like Frank Zappa where the band holds it together while Frank goes off doing his usual guitar thing.
Derek sounds like Coltrane from 3:40 to 3:48 and from 4:49 to 4:51. He uses a legato technique that enables him to imitate the sound of a horn. If you check out his live recordings from 2003, especially Oct. of 2003, he plays huge chunks of solos in that style. Apart from his slide playing, its probably his most impressive contribution to guitar technique.
Although I don't particularly like his playing, Allan Holdsworth has been doing that for years and so have many other guitarists! However I do think that his slide technique is pretty original (although Jeff Beck may have done it first, I'm not sure)
no i dont. the allmans have been a fav band of mine for a long time. but this coltrane masterpiece that trucks is going off of, sounds nothing like allman. i can agree in the sense it goes to the i and ii chord back and forth but the whippin post goes to the III chord in the sense too. and whipping post is in 12/8 as opposed to this song in 3/4.
This is wonderful, thanks for posting. Listening to this makes think of what Duane Allman & Jimi Hendrix might have gotten into had they lived. Rave on, Derek.
Is he one to meet with the fans after the show? I have tickets to see him here in Jax, Fl on 12/27/08 and would like to be able to just say hey (who would'nt?). I have had the chance to chat with members of the "Destroyers" at this venue (Fla Theatre) and hope I get the same opportunity with the DTB.
since camden is such a small town the band just kinda walked around town and enjoyed themselves and didnt get hassled. i talked to derek for about an hour the day before the show cuz i was playing guitar on the sidewalk and he just walked up, very very nice guy and very down to earth

This is basically the exact head of My Favorite Things by Contrane (of course except for Trucks flare). They sound fantastic, holy crap.

Why do people talk so much at shows?even this one. all i hear is the low rumble of people talking, happens at every show. its rude and annoying.

agreed. The intro is in 11/8, and it's really cool how it just changes for the verse, chorus, and solo sections.
