The Derek Trucks Band will tour this spring with Santana! Derek has gotten to know Carlos over the last few years and the two share a lot of musical interests and influences. They're both excited to spend time together on the road and we can't wait for the tour!

This is one of those CDs that should be given the same treatment as a good novel. While it’s a perfect disc to spin during a gathering with your best kinfolk, it should also be heard on your lonesome at some point; take a long drive through the country with it. Only then can you really absorb all of the nuances and the story telling that made it such a great performance.

The goal of any good music film is to show what it was like to be at the venue when sparks flew from the stage, not necessarily the truth of the moments captured but the essence of the event that transpired. Most celluloid sequences just don’t get the job done—cutaway shots to insignificant visual images, show-offy camera angles that disrupt the flow of the music, short-changed artists with solos edited and brutal slices that choose not to expose the skinned-knee portions of any really good musical set.
