This, to me, is a pretty close definition of having "soul". That dude Loves and probably even lives to play that guitar, and he's one of the lucky few to "master" it. We're quite lucky when folks lime him decide to share their gift with us.

He "left it all on stage" with this soulful and inspired performance and the world seems like a better place to me now. Thank you Derek. ;)

I love the pure look of contentment on his face. He isn't making crazy faces, he isn't drawing attention to himself, all the focus is on the love and joy of the tone. He loves what he is doing and he is just having fun. The guy is such a humble beast. I wish more people had the passion about the music that he does, he is one of the true greats both for his talent, and for his attitude.

Man, where have I been under a rock. I never even heard of this guy before just happen to come across “DEREK TRUCKS” on the Internet, this solo just took me on a trip out of this world. This guy knows how to take your soul and take it on a ride, take you somewhere else and then bring you right back. He feels what he is playing on that guitar and has mastered the connection to slowly immerse you in the solo and then bring you back to reality. I AM A NEW FAN.

Same. Carlos Santana introduced me to Derek & Susan and truth be told, I've had "Midnight at Harlem" playing, 'DJ Loop' for over five/six consecutive days now including a week of graveyard shift (45 hours). i'm addicted badd, and don't desire to listen to anything/anyone else. Something wrong with me? A much needed soul cleansing for me each time. I admit/confess I've become a sappy old bat. I feel forgiven. Who cares about forgotten, i've got "Midnight at Harlem"....be kind all, 🧑🦳💚💜.

Don't feel bad. I had never heard of the band before and was given free tickets to see them at the Paramount Theater in Seattle. They started out with "Everybody's Talkin' " and I thought great, this is fun. Then, without a break, they morphed into this song and I sat there for the rest of the concert crying. I could not stop. They are one of those rare bands that sound better live than they do in the studio. I have only seen two concerts in my life that had as much impact and one of those was Queen doing "Night at the Opera" album while I was tripping. :) The other was Genesis doing "Lamb Lies Down on Broadway".
