Guest Low Roller Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 They are playing in London tomorrow night, and I'm tempted to go, however I need that extra endorsement to make sure it's worth my while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Go, it's worth your while. (You can find loads of DTB shows here.)Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Boy 2.0 Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 FUCK YA they're worth seeing!Derek Trucks is one of my current fave bands– top quality musicians that put on a great show every time, guaranteed. The fact that they have a number of John Coltrane tunes in their repetoire is a good indicator of their pedigree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 It's a logistical pain in the ass to get to London, and then to the venue, but I'm very tempted at this point to go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 I can't speak to your logistical difficulties, Roller, but I think this is a rare chance (for you, in England) to see DTB in what I guess is a club. (I probably wouldn't travel the same amount [e.g., Ottawa to Toronto] to see him in a club, but he plays over here a lot more, so I figure I'll have more chances to see him in the future.)Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meggo Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 go!!! i saw DTB just once, and they were unbelievable. especially if you're a fan of slide guitar [but not only if] you will love this band! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 ITSGODDAMNDEREKFUCKINGTRUCKSFORFUCKSAKES!!!! His mastery over the slide is not to be missed. Fuck, his tone is about as perfect as you can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 edit: shit. I've been offered tickets for Clapton tonight, featuring Derek Trucks!!! Same logistical nightmare... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deranger Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Go Low Roller, he's one of my fav's and the boy can kick serious ass on the slide. you will not be disappointed and I guarentee you have never seen anyone play guitar like he does.

bradm Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 You know, if it was one or the other, but not both, I might choose to see DTB over Clapton with Derek Trucks in the band, especially if DTB was at a smaller (club-sized) venue. (It'd be a close call, though.)Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Well I've already seen DT live (yes. Kick ass.), but it's monetarily and logistically inconvenient... Would you spend the equivalent of $100CDN and two hours travel time each way on Derek Trucks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Well, if DTB was playing in, say Kingston or Montreal (both a two-hour train ride from me), at a club or pub (or even a small theatre), and if I could get back the same night (to avoid a hotel bill and a day off work), yes, I would. (I'd also tape the show. ) Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 How is the inter-city public transit, Roller? I know that getting back to Ottawa from Kingston or Montreal after a show without a car is pretty much impossible (e.g., the last bus from Montreal to Ottawa leaves at midnight).Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffhead77 Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 money comes and goes, but seeing DT w/ Clapton will probably be a once in a lifetime opportunity...you should go man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Boy 2.0 Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 yeah realistically you should go see Clapton and DT today, party straight through the night (you should be able to find a rave somewhere), sleep in a park during the day tomorrow and rock out again tomorrow night. one simple sick day and two trucks with one clapton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
