The GOAT of slide guitar Derek Trucks, - Midnight in Harlem "Live" | String Slinger Reacts 

I love how Derek just stands there and plays like he isn’t the greatest- no drama, no histrionics.

“Derek is the player my brother would have become “ ~ Greg Allman

#1, her name is Susan Tedeschi, ok? Show proper respect please. OK, so I was lucky enough to see TTB 3 weeks ago and it was one of the best shows I've seen in 51 years of concert going. You are correct, Derek Trucks is on a level of one. Seeing them do Midnight in Harlem was almost more than I could handle. Susan Tedeschi is absolutely fantastic. So, A couple of things about the band you should know. This version of the band does not exist. Sadly, the keyboard player you briefly mentioned, Kofi Burbidge, passed away 5 years ago. The bass player in your video is his brother, Otiel Burbidge, who currently is the bass master in the Dead+Co...Also, that was from a festival, not just a Tedeschi Trucks Band show. Unfortunately, they aren't at the level of filling stadiums, even if they should be. This song was written by current and long time Derek Trucks Band member, Mike Mattison. 22 years now they have made music together. Maybe a little more research in the future, eh? But I did enjoy it.

It's Susan TEDESCHI

Derek’s most physically expressive moments, to me anyway, are when he’s comping for whoever has the spotlight at the moment, especially when Susan’s going off or trading licks. Hope you keep reacting to TTB…best live band around! I’ve been stuck on their 50th show at the Beacon…fire start to finish!

Love you Kofi..❤

Derek has taken slide guitar where Duane Allman was heading before his untimely death, perhaps even farther. Susan, besides being a wonderful vocalist, is no slouch on guitar, either.

2 drummers...Allman Bros,...Dead..depth of the beat of the song...they know what they are doing 😊...they can go any direction off their beat.

I believe this was at a eric clapton crossroads festival 2005 to 2008? maybe?

I saw Derek with Eric Clapton with Doyle Bramhall all on stage together had to be 12 or 13 years ago I thought then he was probably the best guitarist that night on stage I’ve seen Clapton like 7 times

Susan Tedeschi. She kept her own name.

Caught this on cable tv randomly years ago. The solo brought tears to my eyes. I’ve been a fan ever since. This is one of my favorite performances of all time. Pretty cool that this performance was actually them filling in for the ABB (I believe) which of course Trucks was a member of at the time as Greg was ill. Cool review. Thanks for sharing

HIs uncle was Butch Trucks, one of the original drummers for the Allman Brothers band. I'm not sure that I believe in reincarnation, but I almost believe Duane Allman chose this man to inhabit his talent. Before Derrick, Duane was the best slide guitarist.

As much as I love Derek on the slide, you should go back and listen to some of Ry Cooder's work on the slide, probably in the 80's, maybe 90's. There's a show where he played with David Lindley and did a version of Vigilante Man (The Woody Guthrie classic) that's got a lead in that's unbelievable.

Her name is Susan Tedeschi not Trucks. Hence the name of the band 😉 Tedeschi Trucks Band

Solo de guitarra interrompido QUATRO vezes? Não se interrompe solo de guitarra! Fala demais!

Love DT and he may be the greatest slide soloist but Ry Cooder is the GOAT IMHO. Look at his body of work with and without slide. It’s incredible.

A correction. . Derek leads the band and cues them for changes etc. They do not signal him what to do or when to crescendo or pull back. They follow him at all times..

This isn't even close to the best solos I have heard him play. The solo in Dreams in St Augustine Fl this year is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better than this. And that is just one among the shows I was at. I'm sure anybody who has seen them recently will agree with me that Derek is pushing much further on his solos over the last few years. While I love this song, this is not a good example of how good he actually is.

WHY? Does every dude have to hide behind a beard? I think Joni Mitchell rips on slide

Best band in the land!!!!

Susan Tedeschi pronounced Ta dê ski

Dude you need to get your facts right before you start saying things that aren't true

The Alman brothers also had two drummers.

trucks

Isn't that Clapton's Crossroads festival?

I really wish people would quit qualifying the statement Best "slide" Guitarist playing today. Hes one of if not THE best guitarists playing today period. No qualifier necessary.

Dude um David Gilmore…….

John Mayer is underrated- he is good but he’s no Derek.

There is a reason this kid grew up so fast and knew so much. Butch Trucks, his father, was one of the original Allman Brothers (drummer). Derek has been in this world since birth.

ETown version is the best, react to that one
