@goosehd I’m a huge fan of The Brothers and especially Derek Trucks. My accountant works for the company that does the bookkeeping for the ABB and he would always get me tickets(Not for free),but they’d be first 10 rows. I’ve seen them countless times and have a pretty great live tape collection from the shows. The solo in that song was off the charts.

I'll stick around this Allmans family tree for a minute.
Tedeschi Trucks Band is good, but I really miss Derek Trucks Band. Yonrico Scott, their amazing drummer, and Kofi Burbridge, their amazing flutist/keyboardist/brother of bass great Otiel Burbridge, have prematurely and tragically died since the band broke up and was partially merged with Tedeschi's band to form Tedeschi Trucks Band, but they were so adventurous and free, playing all sorts of genres, from classical Indian to blues to jazz to funk. Tedeschi Trucks Band by comparison stays in their blues rock/R&B lane, and while entertaining, is just not as interesting IMO.
Here is DTB covering "Freddie's Dead" by Curtis Mayfield from the legendary soundtrack to "Superfly." Mike Mattison, their vocalist, does an amazing job paying tribute to Curtis' falsetto. He's been relegated to backing vocals in Tedeschi Trucks, with an occasional lead thrown his way. Seems like a waste of a helluva vocalist.

@mclaincausey As much as I like Derek Trucks,and as much as I enjoyed it whenever Susan Tedechi would jam with the Brothers,I flat out,for the life of me,can’t get into the DTB. Probably because I’ve never been fan of horn sections in rock bands.
