John B Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 (edited) Has anyone here heard this set yet? It is two discs, recorded live at the Georgia Theatre last year. The setlist looks great: Disc 1 1 Kam-ma-lay 2 Gonna Move 3 Volunteered Slavery 4 Sahib Teri Bandi - Maki Madni 5 Leaving Trunk 6 I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free 7 Angola 8 Feel So Bad Disc 2 1 For My Brother 2 Sonido Alegre 3 Joyful Noise 4 So Close, So Far Away 5 Freddie's Dead I'm curious how their takes on Volunteered Slavery and Angola turned out. I saw the DTB live back in '97 or '98 and they did a great version of Afro Blue, so I have high hopes for these performances. The set is only available online, either on itunes or through Derek's website. I already ordered a copy, as the set was on sale for $9.50. I haven't really followed the DTB but, for less than $10, I'll take a chance on this release. Any reviews or opinions on this one?

GregK Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 funny, i just ordered this last night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walker Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 I bought it from iTunes the other day. I am really enjoying this disc. Lots of great playing from all of the band, especially Derek. I think he's becoming a great player. I was surprised about how the disc is being sold, only on iTunes and from his site. Is this the future of music selling?

WD45 Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 AMG mentioned the manner in which this is being sold. They put it in the context of the Allman Brother's Live at Fillmore--this could be the album that everyone gets behind, but the dopes at Sony are making it only somewhat available to the public. Those poops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John B Posted July 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 I received my copy (no autograph) and these discs smoke! Great musicianship, great energy, and I really like the RRK and Wayne Shorter covers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzypaul Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 The vocalist's timing is off. Sorry, I'm a drummer, I notice these things. Damn hippies, can't go anywhere without being high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregK Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 I got mine last week, also no signatures. Great music though. I like the timing being off -sounds more improvisational! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILLYQ Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 I went to derektrucks.com, and that leads you directly to the Sony website. So I went there, ordered, got my package-and I got 'Soul Serenade'?! My first thought was that these dopes at Sony, etc. I checked my order, and lo and behold, I clicked on the wrong thing! So I went back and ordered the live discs. 'Soul Serenade' is very good, and D. Trucks has a great sense of adventure- he seems willing to try different things musically.

WD45 Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 My copy came today. It feels like he has so much music in him just waiting to bust out. And that TONE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WD45 Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Finally got to see the DTB on July 1st, as a birthday present. Here is a clip of it, shot from my spot as I leaned against the stage: DTB Sahib Teri Bandi The show smoked, and that man was on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe G Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Good footage - thanks for posting. We tried to get into that festival, too. Wish we could have been there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van Basten II Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 (edited) Saw the band a few days ago, very impressive. What i enjoyed from that gig was that his guitar work was done in the context of the song. Instead of going in a long masturbating jam he simply tried to improve the pieces on the setlist. What could have been a parody of the Allman Brothers turned out to be good original solid music.
