You could easily make a case that this is the best band in the world. Just incredible playing !! Thank you ! 😂💥✌🙏💪🎸

The wave of incredible music from this band is both a visual and auditory slice of Heaven.

[@deanwishart9981]

Beautifully said, it really is transformative sonic art

[@soonstrgzr]

I feel sad for those people who say there is no new music! Another stellar song!

[@ajschroetlin2196]

It's funny you should say that. Anytime someone says that, this is the band that I introduced them to. 👍

[@keeponkeepinonstudio]

I mention Tedeschi-Trucks too but also add Marcus King. And Kenny Wayne Sheppard. And Ray Lamontagne. Jason Isbell. JJ Mofro. Zack Bryan. Blackberry Smoke. Eric Lindell. The Greyhounds. Honey Island Swamp Band. And so many others. And I’m old (61) and a musician. There’s lots of good new music out there. You just need to know where to look and want to look. The people who complain the most about “no good new music” are stuck in the past. Probably don’t even stream music. $10 a month and I have 50 million tunes on my iPhone. The idea that there’s no good music is ridiculous. And KZbin there’s crazy good talent there too doing original stuff. It’s too bad. Their loss not ours…

[@bradgurley4854]

Gabe has stepped into that keyboard role with class and style. Great song and I'm sure Kofi is nodding his head in approval with that sweet smile across his face. Great bust out of a cool song. What a long strange trip it has been. From 43 years ago when my cousin Debbie & her husband Chris in Florida let the family know they had a boy and named him Derek. Then he was really into Yoda (still is) and baseball (still is) and then came the guitar. Fast forward to now, and I can't be more proud of this touring juggernaut known as the TTB that he and Sue have put together. Keep it up derek & Sue, keep it up!!

[@benink5690]

Gabe could have his own band. First time hearing him. He's the keyboardist singing right?

So Derek's is it 2nd cousin? Susan Thedesci must be you cousin in law or something! OK! This music is transcendent.

[@frozencanuck6764]

Its amazing that Derek has remained so humble and kind in light of the life he's had. Seems like a genuinely good man. Susan seems just as good a person, and is likely a great Mom. This band is easily the best touring anywhere on earth.

[@dbwagner0]

That guitar is not crying, it's SCREAMING..... Amazing.

[@chrisrichards9528]

I have had the pleasure and luck to watch Derek play since he was like 15 playing with the Brothers sitting in on songs to becoming the leader on guitar. Every year event until it was over. With well over 200 brothers shows under my belt with all kinds of lineups and I will have to say Derek has now got that s*** figured out. I was always a huge Warren fan, and still am. I used to argue with people that raved about Derek. I used to think his story building capability just didn't grab me or relate to me. I don't know if he changed or I changed but my God that man can put some notes together to bring out all kinds of emotions. And I don't know what kind of sounds he's got going on in this one. Those double note intro slides where the harmonics are bouncing back and forth that's crazy. Well Derek if you read this brother you have reached the Pinnacle. I've never been a big he's better or she's better because they're a lot of great players and a lot of styles that I enjoy. I sure can say thank you from the bottom of my heart for keeping the spirit of the Allman Brothers alive. It's like church to see you play. When all things in life are gloomy I throw this song on and man it changes my day. Thank you for the years of music, you have truly touched my life. I've been privileged to watch you blossom into the guitar player that you are. Your band is top-notch you're arrangements are absolutely incredible. I hope you reach everything you're looking for in your musical career because you deserve it. You've got to play with the All-Stars the brothers, Clapton, the blues Legends like BB King etc. Now it's your turn to be the legend for the next generation. Thank you for putting such a great band together and thank you for all the smiles you'll put on my face. See you soon

[@jasonpitts8395]

Best band ever. No auto tune. No bs. Just pure talent on display.

[@whitemaleoprah]

It always blows my mind Derek uses no pedals at all

[@Rocketmanrun]

@@whitemaleoprahhow does he get that crazy effect sound in some of the solo parts without pedals?? Sounds like an octave pedal. He’s amazing

[@jp_gervs7855]

OK I bought an SG, I bought a Coricidin bottle slide but I can’t do this yet…what gives? Seriously though, this tune is just unreal. Gabe and the whole band just crush. Derek’s very first run (6 notes) sets the tone for this song immediately, punching you right in the gut. It’s just so mean right outta the gate, unexpected after the calm descending intro. And forget about that final solo. I only recently got into Derek/TTB. Derek is the only guitarist I’ve found that makes me roll my eyes and shake my head in disbelief/amazement.

[@joshstevens2194]

I said the same thing I have seen countless musicians who blow me away but Derek is the only person I've seen live that stopped me dead in my tracks

[@christophernoble289]

It's fun to count the musicians who played with Jeff Beck. He played like nobody else. Imagine just laying down one bar of rhythm as Jeff solos or plays a lead melody over it. I would die a happy man just to experience this once.

[@tammyandersen9852]

@@christophernoble289 I’m confused, are you saying that You would love to hear Jeff & Derek playing off each other? I hope that is it or are saying Jeff is needed here? Because that would be sad 😔 Jeff is I loved and appreciated how ever he’s not better or more unique than Derek. Just saying 🥰

[@zachkieri1185]

The fact that this might be one of their best songs is a testament to why they might be one of the best bands out there right now, live and on record

[@danleftwich5911]

I was there at Red Rocks for this incredible performance. When Derek's slide reached that multi-note scream tone, it blew me back a few rows. I have heard him play many times over about 19 years and I had never experienced such a rush. Gabe adds such a funk vibe to this group along with his first class keyboards and songwriting. Chicago awaits in March -- I can't wait!

[@davidmccoy3174]

We were there that night as well. This band will raise the hair on your body they are so good. And the feeling in the music will get you on your feet. Where does the multi- note scream tone come from? I heard it that night and watched to see how it was made. It is something new he has profected. I went back to listen to older stuff, not there. Derek is the Master of Guitar.

[@rishabhghosh155]

Oh man lucky you! That must have been something else

[@danleftwich5911]

@@davidmccoy3174 When this Gravity video was produced, Derek sent a challenge to a guitarist who teaches online (Michael Palmisano of GuitarGate) to see if he could learn the song, and this multi-note slide scream tone blew him away. He asked for slide players to chime in with comments and someone said it is created by Derek tilting the slide at an angle across several strings.

This is his voice

[@glennjones6100]

Ok Derek, wtf is that tone on the solo!? It's insane!

[@bradgurley4854]

He's using his fingernails to get that odd tone. Derek's done it in the past with his band and the ABB at times. Not that many but I've heard him do it a few times and I asked him afterwards how was he getting that almost scratchy tone without any effects. That's when he said it was his fingernails,not the fingertips. And a little let up on the dampening hand behind the slide to let the strings bounce ever so slightly against the slide and the whole tone just changes. And some scraping of the wound strings with the fingernails. I watched the webcast and when they caught the close ups I could really see how his right hand would change to go from the cleaner sound to that scratch sound. And don't forget the amps volume setting. It's at a minimum of 8.5 and up to the full 10 doesn't hurt either. In Derek's words,"They're tube amps and those tubes need to hurt a bit to really work and get that fat sound. That's why I just crank 'em up and let it fly." He & I have logged many a hours talking gear and stuff like how our families are doing and baseball.
