Layla Revisited: Tedeschi Trucks Band; 3LP/2CD sets

On Amazon HD I am getting some songs at 24/96 but most are at 24/192. No complaints either way.

 

Wow just ordered 2CD version off Amazon.

Saw DT Band in Sacramento in 2009, amazing. Susan was playing in the SF Bay Area and came out to sing Anyday as an encore. Bliss.

 

I am too, to support the artist and have more stuff like this released. Also lots of stuff I love sometimes disappears from the streaming services, and having the Cd of stuff I don't want to live without has been a godsend a few times.

 

Wouldn't (or couldn't) this be where Netflix, Prime or some other steaming service comes in? Couldn't it be sold or leased to one of the big services and combined with sales they make a profit? I wouldn't buy a video but I'd certainly watch the show one night before going to sleep.

 

you and me both. I have streamed it about a half dozen times today already though!

 

Great post. They are an outstanding band with a really broad palate in sound, groove, songs, cover choices, set pacing, etc.

I hear you on their songs but after catching 5 of the first 7 shows I was reminded of how joyous and positive they are, which was really nice to return to after a really long slog for most of us over the last 18 months.

There’s just something about this band that really grabs me. It starts with Derek for me for sure, but it’s not just about him. They’re a team in the purest sense of the word. Derek’s just the otherworldly point guard around which it all revolves.

 

A couple of quick comments:

1. I’ve listened 6 times today on Spotify. I was born deaf in my right ear so I’m not a huge sound quality guy but damn if EVERYTHING Derek puts out just sounds outstanding to me. I notice this live too btw. Really looking forward to my vinyl arriving.

2. Derek is just wonderful here, and it’s great to hear Trey and also Doyle serve as a Clapton-esque foil. It sounds really good, all original but completely in the spirit of the song.

3. It’s nice to have Derek’s “Blue Sky” tease in “Anyday” make a recording. And I think the bird call at the end of “Layla” was the first I ever heard Derek do that in 28 years of listening! I remember how happy it made me when I heard it on the webcast.

4. I found this an is outstanding read Derek Trucks Interview: Eric Clapton, Allman Brothers, Bob Dylan, & More

 

Takes courage to say something this bold, and I tend to agree with you. Derek long ago surpassed Duane, he started earlier and has lived much longer.

He’s not Duane reincarnated, he’s 100% Derek Trucks. But there’s a lotta Duane in him…he and Duane draw from very much the same well.

I love Duane like no other and feel like he’d graciously say the same thing about Derek.

 

Great played, top album for sure.

 

too niche for those probably, but there are other music-centric services it could appear on.

 

You reckon? Much of what I watch on there are pretty niche. I thought they were always looking for new content and a contemporary live concert would seem to work. Maybe they need to rethink that if so. Honestly I don't go to steaming services for music but if I'm searching for a movie to watch and that pops up I'm pretty likely to watch it, especially after I've go through a bunch suspense movie possibilities going, "seen that, seen that". I'm too boring to be a unique viewer, there are bound to be plenty more like me.

 

Is there any interview with Derek talking about how this Layla concert came to be? Curious to know how Trey got involved.

 

This was the second set of a two set show. The entire show was a live webcast. I have a FLAC rip of the first set that wasn't included in this release. PM me if you'd like to hear it.

 

Bobby Whitlock would went down well on a few tracks at this show.

 

Listened to the cd on my headphone system and it sounded great to me, not mastered loud, very crankable!

 

This just might be the perfect thing to listen to on a Saturday morning.

 

Streamed it a few times yesterday. I think the sound via stream was great. Really looking forward to the vinyl which is scheduled to arrive next week now. @Jerry yes, there are details about the recording via member and co-producer @Vinylanswer.net up-thread and a statement about the production via co-producer bobby tis quoted above.

here is another shot from the show i took:

 

I'm always surprised Netflix's music selection isn't more robust, but they seem to stick mostly with actual "film" films, or official releases. Whereas Qello has a lot of "X band live from some festival" type things.

The footage exists and I feel like it will emerge at some point, somewhere.

 

Yep. Stereogum.com

 

Trey and Derek are friends and Trey headlined the night before this show, with Derek guesting, with his own band at Lockn. So he was scheduled to be there. Also, Trey and TTB go back a bit...he has guested with TTB i believe on a few occasions...i was lucky enough to be in the house at the Beacon one year when Trey came on for Delta Lady and then a half hour mountain jam.

 

Just listened to it today and I am very pleased with what I heard. If someone can pull off a true Layla-Hommage, it's those guys. They nailed it. True enough to the original to please even the mostr hardcore Clapton-Withlock-Allman-Gordon-Fan, but with enough spice added to give it it's own flavour. As usual, I expecially love the added "Soul", hharmony singing and Horns they bring to the show. Susan sings like there is no tomorrow, Derek is one of the best bluesrock-guitarists alive today and Tray adds more than just a few lines. And then of course there is the whole band, which is so tight right now, it could sell virginity online.

 

I'm about 1/2 of the way through disc two. This is an astonishing performance.

 

Just watched Layla again on youtube for the umpteenth time today. absolutely stunning ..

 

Went to my local record store this morning for record store day and came home with this instead on vinyl. I just finished the first of the three LPs and it’s fantastic. The pressing is perfect and Bellman’s mastering is excellent. It’s respectful to the original while bringing it’s own flair and energy. The cover art ain’t the greatest but everything else so far is superb.
