Review/Download: Derek Trucks Band at Krannert


Derek Trucks completely owned Krannert last Thursday. There's no other way to put it. Displaying a huge range of styles, from slide guitar ("Meet Me at the Bottom") to eastern ragas ("Sahib Teri Bandi") to full-on jazz ("My Favorite Things"), his performance was, in every sense of the word, a tour-de-force, even in the cramped and sweaty Krannert Lobby (which really doesn't seem like it was designed for several thousand people).

Additionally, Derek is kind enough to allow recording/trading of his live shows, and we've recorded/uploaded it for you!

Because of a loud clapper in the left channel, I couldn't amplify the recording without clipping. So, you'll need to turn your speakers up a bit. Also, this is best enjoyed on a decent stereo/with headphones. If you download this, please support Derek Trucks by attending his shows (he's on tour almost constantly, you really don't have an excuse to miss this) and purchasing his albums/merch.
