MoMack Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 I think thats wishful thinking...10 to 1 says the only "co-headliner" aspect of teh tour would be giving the two bands equal time. ABB would have to close (not that I want them too - but they just draw a lot more people don't they?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Still' date=' Trucks "more than holds his own" with one of the great white blues guitarists is high praise indeed.[/quote']I'm not sure what you meant by that. Watching the two side by side, trading solos, it seemed obvious to me that Derek Trucks has become one of the better guitarists playing the instrument today. On par with his elder contemporaries, those on the stage at the time, and others. I meant that if "Clapton is God," then Derek holding his own with God is pretty impressive.

bouche Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 clapton has always been on the leaderboard, but when you put the cards on the table, Derek is going to take them all before the game is over.too many idioms in one sentence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esau. Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Personally I've been enjoying the AUDs a lot more then those SBDs. I haven't ran any tests as I don't have the programs to do so anymore, but I've read (although unconfirmed) that they were mp3 > FLAC. Unfortunately, the uploader didn't provide any lineage.I know it probally doesn't matter much to a lot of folks since they still somewhat sound good (the two I grabbed anyway sound ok, although massively compressed), but I'm still a stickler for lineage when it comes to recordings I plan to keep on disc or trade.

I wouldn't call him more laid back, but he certainly plays many different styles that aren't normally associated with slide. I think they're worlds apart. Landreth is more of a traditional slide player, pinkie finger, lots of different open tunings, uses other 3 fingers to fret chords behind the slide and generally balances more rhythm/lead in his playing. Check out some of his work with John Hiatt and the Goners. I saw Landreth at the Montreal jazz festival with his band and wasn't particularly impressed, and that was compared to Trucks. I also saw him play with John Hiatt at the Toronto Blues fest and his playing was decent, filling a lead guitar role rather than band leader role seemed to suit him. Whereas, I feel Derek has carved out a much more unique approach modeled on Duane who revolutionized the approach to slide guitar. Ring finger, mostly open E, mostly single note playing, no fretting behind the slide and laser like intensity in a mostly lead role. More like traditional jazz players. I never heard anything in Landreth's playing that made me feel he had the same intensity under his control as Derek does. Anyway, lets not forget Warren, and Billy Gibbons on stage, possibly all at once, making it FOUR of the top slide players around.slide guitar heaven. Can't wait until tomorrow.

deranger Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 was an ok show. I thought Billy would have played some slide but I guess not. I've never seen ZZ Top or Billy Gibbons live before, so maybe I made an incorrect assumption he would play some slide. Anyway, Sonny Landreth wasn't really all that special and it was actually kinda strange seeing him play next to Warren and Derek whose styles, though very different, were far more technically sophisticated.Not to mention I wasn't sure why I thought they might all play at once, which didn't happen. One standout jam ending the 1st set was Southbound with Sonny Landreth and John Popper guesting.Coming out the play the 2nd set with Billy Gibbons, they entire band had the wigs and glasses on, which was absolutely amazing and demonstrated an incredibly good sense of humour. They kept them on throughout the first song, Jesus Just Left Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
