I met someone last night who is doing a trip to Croatia and Greece and catching Gizz in Athens. I could hardly contain my envy.

Great rendition of Soul Shine. Derek/Warren trading licks at the end is as good as it gets. Someone posted...Derek is finally out of Tedeschi-Trucks jail.

@Jett129 I like Tedeschi Trucks but Derek Trucks band was on another level. And now half of them are dead so there will never be a true reunion.

To wit, this one with my friend Bill McKay on the keys and vocals:

@mclaincausey The clip you posted was pretty cool. I really want to like Tedeschi-Trucks,but I just can’t get into them. Maybe it’s the horns. I also can’t,for the life of me,get in to Govt. Mule,but put Derek and Warren in the Allman Brothers or a band playing the music of The Brothers and ,for me,it’s magic. They look like they genuinely enjoy playing together.

@Jett129 Derek Trucks band had a wildly talented lineup. Todd Smallie on bass (he and the aforementioned Bill McKay live here and play with a lot of my friends--nice fellas). Mike Mattison on vocals--gravelly, husky, great voice (and he went to Harvard!). Yonrico Scott (RIP) was a monster drummer. Kofi Burbridge (RIP--his brother Oteil played for ABB and is in The Brothers clip you posted--I hope they tour) was extremely talented on multiple instruments and vocals. And others.

Susan Tedeschi Band and Derek Trucks Band effectively merged some members and a few were left out in the cold.

But what was lost was unique jazz and world music influenced experimental blues and soul. It's a damn shame. It feels like he was following his muse, and now he's following their muse.

Songlines Live is a highly recommended audio or video release to hear what the sounded like live, and they have Live at Georgia Theater and Roadsongs too.

@mclaincausey that's painful.....I can definitely enjoy a drummer sitting just behind the beat but this is something different altogether

[GraemeE]

....that or dilla time

@mclaincausey In light of the fact that he’s playing with such conviction and confidence,is it possible were missing something because the mix is so drum heavy. Only thing I can think of.
