I'm surprised there aren't any comments about the hugely impressive switch of guitars at the beginning for Derek? talk about smooth, the man don't lose a lick...he is just SO damn amazing. it makes me want to be a better man seeing him get better and better since Woodstock 94...can I get an Amen ?

Shawn Sherman Derek did not play at Woodstock ‘94.

[@marlenel.6738]

Derek Trucks is one of the very best guitarists of my generation. Yet, he didn't join ABB til '99.

This is incredible; sounds like a Dickey tune, in a way. I actually heard a bit of Dickey from Warren on his last solo. Great job, Less than Face. Thanks.

So, is there a name for what Warren is doing when he seems to kind of push up on some of the guitar strings but on others he merely presses down. It is interesting to see how much pressure he puts on the strings to push up. You would think the strings are kind of loose but they couldn't be too loose. I also just read in Alan Paul's book about how Derek first learned to play slide because his fingers were so small and that it was easier for him to learn slide first. The book says he learned some sort of unique style and method and he still plays guitar like that because he learned young. I also wonder if different races like different types of music. I know the ABB is very full of pride in their history of having black members in the band. I know Gregg, Warren and others just love blues artists and I know Gregg's buddy was Chank Middleton, a black guy. I know all about Mama Louise and the HH. I mean, I know all about the band supporting Carter and Obama and on and on, and ON, but still how many black people do you think were grooving out watching this band. I mean, I KNOW "some" black people can relate but in general it would seem that most wouldn't care. Maybe black musicians are the type that care about this sort of guitar music. I mean, there is the artistically musically inclined black audience and all of the rest of that audience. Wouldn't most of the black audience just consider this weird white music? And wouldn't most black people just think these people don't relate to them. The ABB is meanwhile feeling their connections to the black community but did the black community EVER connect to the Allman Brothers Band. Surely you don't see lots of black people as ABB shows. I mean, for all of these bands covering songs like I'd Rather Go Blind, Gregg with his albums of Blues covers, Midnight in Harlem and all the ABB covers of black rooted songs, did this even matter to most black people? I would say NO. The black artists and writers who the band covered were probably grateful but I still don't think this means the band gains in audience numbers of black people. ABB shows were pretty much thing for older white people. That's all I am saying. I guess those white people were way more sophisticated than the average older Lynyrd Skynyrd fan though. The older ABB fan base can REVEL in the glory of that sort of idea. No rebel flags or boisterous redneck behavior at an ABB show. The ABB fans were like wine tasters and cigar afficianodos. I mean, I've seen the fans at Susan Tedeschi shows. They kind of made me uncomfortable. Kind of an uptight crowd. And this is my take that I think a lot of black people would think that the white people who like this sort of music are just what I said they seem to be, just artsty, fartsy types. Now contrast these fans with the fans of a rap band. Do you think fans of rap are sophisticated or are they nodding their heads and mumbling rap lyrics to themselves. Maybe to reach out to modern blacks there needs to be more people like Eminen. To that I say, YIKES.
