I want someone to look at me the way John looks at Derek
😂
Best comment ever.
and he always will just wish. either have it..by now..or you mimic.
me too.
Awe man that's some funny sh*^it...I'm cryin here..
that's like albert einstein saying you're the smartest person I've ever met
Brilliant analogy ... spot on !
Kevin Agee according to Einstein it was Tesla
@@alexacosta2140 missing the point
Chris Hardin so
@@alexacosta2140 not "so". you were missing the point. period. nothing to add.
You know Derek Trucks is great at guitar when John Mayer is pulling his guitar face and he isn't even playing
Lol secondhand stank face
Never has anyone witnessed such absurd honesty expressed with so incredibly sensitivity. Then laid down so gently and peacefully
Pretty sure thats what i heard bbking say x.
Fantastic comment.
Him looking on in awe and clearly turning down BB's offer for a riff or solo says a lot about the magic Derek is putting out right here
I was right there with him and the stank face
John mayer is respected in the guitar community, he's proven that he's not just a billboard top 40 pop star, but a really talented musician who has roots in blues and jazz guitar playing. It's good to see him play next to greats like BB and Trucks and not just try to steal the show. That's respect.
When Trucks started his solo you could see mayer was more interested in listening to the actual art he was playing, than to be in the spotlight. He's a true musician, like the rest of the people on stage, that's for damn sure.
Mayer is better than a lot of mainstream people give him. I've always enjoyed his playing. He's not as cocky as he's made out to be.
He has no 'roots' in blues or jazz. His roots are as a pop star who took music and his craft as a guitar player very, very seriously after he became famous. He totally deserves major credit for that, but his 'roots' are as a pop star who composed good, pop songs and later underwent a pretty radical transformation into a highly talented musician who put in the work to develop chops.
@@LessLethal oh you know him personally?
He has no roots in jazz stop it. He is good but overrated
I swear to God, I'd buy a ticket to listen to Derek Trucks tune up.
Many people feel that way about the English guitarist Martin Simpson. Check him out!
Do it, just experiencing the natural distortion coming from his amp hits totally different than you've experienced.
saw Trucks in a bar in 2006. NO ONE but I stood before him. everyone else was just chillin at their tables. one of the coolest evenings of my life.
I first saw him playing at age 11 in a tiny club in Jacksonville, FL and never forgot him. And his wife, Susan Tedeschi, is one of the best blues vocalists alive today.
😂😂😂 Sames
I wonder if Derek ever comes back to this video to hear bb king compliment him so profoundly
flamshiz I know I would 😊
we all would. I guess he doesn't.
LOL what a great thought.
He probably brushes his teeth to that shit every morning and every night before bed
flamshiz From everything I've read about DT that doesn't seem likely. A humble man.
If Susan Tedeschi is the least accomplished guitarist on your stage, you have a good night ahead of you. Very cool.
Yea I saw Tedeschi Trucks a couple times and she's awesome! Her voice is amazing as well.
When bb says that's about as good as I've ever heard it to trucks... keep in mind bb has played with Eric Clapton, Stevie ray, Albert king, Freddie king, buddy guy and countless other legends. That's saying a lot
You say anything just to be nice we all know that's not true especially with artist like Buddy guy.
Rd4000d78. Maybe for you
Xander Mohan Clapton never really created heat with his playing
kidpoker007 there's a reason his nickname is slowhand
@@kidpoker007 You don't need speed and heat to be a great guitarist.
he made the guitar sound like aretha franklin
wellblocker underrated comment
Amazing comment!! 🙌🏼😆
LOL
Best compliment yet, wellblocker!
You said that somewhere else too.But I have to agree
"That is about as good as i ever heard it"
Even the camera got misty eyes.
Haha no doubt about it
When BB King says "That's about as good as I've ever heard" that's some damned high-ass praise.
Derek Trucks may be our greatest living blues guitarist.
Blues guitar is supposed to emulate the human voice. Derek Trucks' guitar emulates the voice of someone better than the best blues vocalist who ever lived.
If you consider John a blues guitarist, then I must disagree with Derek being the greatest living blues guitarist ... I mean, if you've watched some of the things John has been feautured on ... damn, Eric Clapton called him a master guitarist that doesnt realize how good he is, surely that must be up there on the same level .. Mechanically you can always find faster guitarists, but John has got soul and understanding of not only writing deep lyrics, but also mastering an instrument in such a niveau that I doubt anyone in the future will come close to that again .. Yes I am a Mayer fan too, Derek's solo is sick, no doubt about that!
@@flyingnipple6156 * yes, John is a good player, he can copy the best of them!!! He can match their tone, play their licks & fool many people that he is great, but the truth is that ain't great!!! The greats carve out their own tone & licks which is what Trucks has done, especially with so much history of guitar already done, that ain't easy by any means!!! It's easy 2 copy someone, which is what john does!!!
Exactly you nailed it..as they say the blues speaks to the soul..and trucks just defined our human soul
B.B. was always diplomatic to who ever was on stage with him. Heard him give high praise to numerous guitarists on stage with him.
You're entitled to your opinion but Derek is far from being the modern day torch bearer of blues guitar. Hell him and Warren weren't even a good fill in for Dickey Betts when Greg fired him from the band. Not that the Allman brothers was a straight blues band.
There are several guitarists that backed Muddy who still tour. I'd put them above derek anyday.
Nobody can sing that good 😂
Even the camera started to tear up at 5:07 after BB gave that compliment
underrated comment
It's a bunmer to see all the negative comments beating up Mayer. I understand people love seeing the hot shot look bad but make no mistake, the dude is one sharp player. John sat back like a true gentleman and just listened. He's just unrated because he's overrated.... aaand Mr Trucks is just a juggernaut.
Agreed, John can really play
John has chops. He's actually a pretty funny dude on top of it all. People are too macho to respect someone who writes sappy love songs and shreds the guitar over them
u just can't compete with that tone
right on...
Spot on
4.24 - the "I accidentally just played the best guitar solo ever" face
That half-second look up... yep.
4:24 *
Holy shit this man is a king
The “is BB King going to hike his dress up for me” look
Accidentally my ass 😂
god, hearing B.B. tell Derek "that's about the best i ever heard it" made me want to cry. you can tell that Derek is really humble and that he's worked his ass off to be as good as he is. such a talented group of musicians in this video.
@@kaboom6157 0j
He actually didn't. He bought his first guitar at a rummage sale for $5 at 9 years old. Had his first paying gig at 11. He's a savant. Dude was born to play.
@@jasonadair3389 Also he comes from a music family, I mean he is the nephew of Butch Trucks
I had the same reaction. This man has played with THE BEST! He did a whole album and tour with Eric Clapton!
Derek literally grew up with the allman brothers. He was playing on Skydogs guitars at an early age as well.
That solo at 3:25 is one of the best sounds any human has produced on this planet.
I still come back to listen to that so a few times a year. So perfect.
It's truly divine. Out of our atmosphere
3:26 I love how John Mayer is just watching Trucks face as he's playing his solo, he loves getting into it and seeing others doing the same, truly a great artist despite whatever beef people may have against him
KevinHamProductions1 John Mayer is cool!
Really? I thought he was looking at Trucks condescending at times and into it at other times
S. California King why would it be condescending
@@s.californiaking2802 Nah, he was looking to see what he was playing
Life to short for hate, guitar is an expression of the player and all I see is John in the moment and nothing wrong with that
The moment Derek was crowed by The King. I'm in tears.
I'll admit...that kinda choked me up hearing BB say that to DT....can you imagine getting a complement like that from a LEGEND?!?
I come back to this video once every year or so to just soak in the gravity of that statement. It makes me cry every time.
You know our boy had a good night through and through
I love Derek's face at 4:24 when he ends the solo
He doesn't know himself how he did that
That's the beauty of playing music.. although Derek absolutely knows what he's doing , when you enter that "zone", you just let it flow and let it control you. It's amazing
what if his secret is that he has this condition where his hands operate by themselves and every time the hands finishes a solo he's like "damn thanks for bailing me out of this one"
He surprised himself with how well that worked out…and it worked out fine, very fine…
When will people realize music isn't a damn competition? They're all excellent players making great music.
Trevor Rick Awesome comment!
* disagree completely!!! Blues & Jazz music is extremely competitive!!! No, not in the loving of music, but best believe, eventho they humble in public, they def trying 2 out do each other!!!
When you play your instrument alone, if there are two of you playing the same instrument, there will be some people think about which one is better, even both are the same you lol.
Not in any comment section you will see in your lifetime buddy, strap in for the ride 🤪 . Trucks rules!
100%
what Derek does at like 3:37 or 3:38, one of the most beautiful sounds i have ever heard come out of a guitar, no question
If you haven't heard his "Midnight in Harlem" solo, its amazing as well.
Mother Night I particularly enjoy 3:56
Mother Night He turns the volume all the way down on his guitar plays the note and then turns the volume back up. This is a common technique used to eliminate the "attack" of a note.
sabianhhxevolution whatever it is, it gave me goosebumps.
Jacob Duenas Derek's solos are nothing but class and raw talent regardless of what song he's playing.
"That's about as good as I've ever heard it"
why did that make me so emotional!?
Because that's the word of The King
BB been around since electric blues guitar started, he's heard em all. It got to me too!
When the torch is passed, it is one generation handing off to another. That shit is powerful.
Same here...lol
Man....
3:37 I've never in my life heard an instrument sing before. It sounded stunning. Plus he got the highest praise from the masters of the craft. Once in a lifetime moment.
listen to the violin, thats exactly what it does
Mayer didn't look jealous; Mayer looked like any curious guitarist analyzing another's technique. I'm sure he internalized a lot of Trucks' phrasing.
Mayer is jealous. He is always been jealous. He is that type of guy. Now when he's got world famous, even birds knows who he is, he's little less jealous, but still very jealous when someone plays like this. His only wish is to be the best guitar player in the world. We all know that :) But I like him he wrote very nice songs and still writing
3:57 Mayer snorts a line of Trucks' liquid blues melody and is like "DAT'S SOME GOOD SHIT RIGHT THERE"
Best comment ever :D
underrated comment :D
😂😂😂Hahahahahahaha
lmao good one
Fantastic comment
Derek Trucks in now in Duane Allman land for slide solos. He's become legendary.
Derek Trucks is better imo.
If only Duane lived a little longer, both are legends, comparing them is insolent.
raffan1 Everything is a comparison. If you think that way.
Phillip Hutcheson yes sir...you live in the macon ga. area
Never heard anyone play quite like Derek. and like someone said couple comments back, he's singing cryim, laughing. its like going to church, a true spiritual experience...on a SG and he makes it work. and that Coricidin bottle neck slide? didn't even know that was thing. he doesn't use monitors. he uses the space of the venue and adjusts accordingly. that's why he's constantly adjusting the tone and volume. The SOB will give you your money's worth. and him and Susan and that fantastic band are professionals
3:25 to 4:22 is just bliss, cleared my sockets. What a solo. What a man. God I love music.
John Mayer is fuckin amazing stop hating him!! Just because you like derek more you don't have to hate the other!
0:35 Did anyone else notice when BB King said "hot dog" and then looked over to Trucks, laughing, and said, "I meant to say hot damn.." Haha that's some funny shit
Good catch
Derek's playing + John Mayer's reactions = priceless
John Mayer is an outstanding guitar player by any measure. And he was in such awe of Derek.
No Mayer is not. He is a teenage guitar hero but in the real world of musicians he is nothing more than a debutante, if even that
To get that apraisal from B.B King for your playing, while John Mayer just shakes his head, like he does'nt belive his own ears, wow. I don't think my feet would touch the ground for å whole week. You can see that Susan Tedeschi is many kinds of proud, also. Wonderful
I mean, that was BB King asking if John wanted to solo after, and he said no, but the sentiment stands, he was definitely blown away.
@@p1an0hands I wouldn't want to try to knock out a solo after that either
@@p1an0hands it wasn't just a no thank you either, it was a straight-up hell no.
music doesn't make me cry. Dereck Truck's solo just made me cry.
Josh Perlette my face leaks every time I get to 3:24,
For real man
John Mayer is a brilliant guitar player and he looked like a little kid watching his heroes. Just loving being there. That's humility. Being as good as he is but giving space to another great like Derek Trucks. Greatness. And that compliment by BB. Derek looked like he was about to cry. What a great moment.
Uh oh buddy bad news cuz mayer is as good as anybody.
@@sujalgautam9761 mayer is one of the greats
@@sujalgautam9761 He's decent and copying great players, but that's about it. Not a bad songwriter though.
@@sujalgautam9761 as good as anybody who isn't Derek Trucks...
“That’s about as good as I’ve ever heard”… That’s about as emotional I’ve felt over something that was the best thing I’ve ever heard. R.I.P King, Derek is keeping things sweet for ya down here! 🙌🏻
When a legend puts his hand on your shoulder and says" that's about as good as I've ever heard it...I mean it", brought tears to my eyes. That was 80+ years of experience talking. Wow, what a compliment.
Wow, I've heard the term, make the guitar sing, I've just never really witnessed it being done!
You nailed it Tara that slide was emotive to the human voice
Tara Strong Agreed!
+Tara Strong Yep, that is the Duane Allman influence. That is its genesis
+Tara Strong You should listen to Jimi Hendrix. You won't be able to stop listening.
Technically, he made it cry :)
Mayer just looks like he's studying when Trucks is playing. kinda cool.
All great artists are great copy cats..... nothing is original. Always remember that. You should look up the book "Steal Like an Artist"
From what I've seen, pretty much every guitar player is just mesmerized by his playing. Undoubtedly, one of the most fantastic slide players in the world
Tanner Foulk I
I like Mayer. He's very much a student of the game like all the Greats. Derek has studied all the Legends he's been on stage with as well. BB loved both these guys.
Mayer is a great player 👌🏼 but Derek is necwt level epic player , reminds me of what Miles could do just spot on with the music
John Mayer's reactions are priceless xD
I’m with BB.... idk if I’ve ever heard a better slide solo than that.
lol John just falling in love with Derek.
I see why John reacted the way he de at 3:40. One of the best slide licks I've ever heard.
That fade in gets me every time. God damn the guy can PLAY
Johns face during that swell in phrase perfectly captures the emotion I feel during Derek's solo. Honestly might be my favorite solo of all time
It's sublime.
It's perfection - I'm responsible for about a million views.
Mayer is one of the best guitarists ever... along with trucks ... but I believe this is the moment John went soul searching to cure his ego after sitting beside Derek
Love this
Derek is on another level altogether. When B.B. gave him that compliment, tears filled my eyes. That volume knob swell into that phrase was just gorgeous.
I love that moment at 4:58, when BB compliments Derek Trucks on his guitar work.
That would have been a very high point for many musicians.
Derek will always have that. Mighty cool.
3:23. Might be the most sublime and soulful 1 minute of guitar playing I’ve ever heard. Beautiful.
At 3:42 John says “lord have mercy, I can’t even look.”
👏❤️👏 Thank you B.B. King for giving Derek Trucks such praise. He is the blues. ✌️❤️🌼
That slide solo was the most amazing thing I've ever seen played on a guitar. Wow
4:23 that little 'wooh' from John was recognition of greatness, and i mean, John Mayer is great guitarist.
Mayer is a beast player, but Derek is just on another level!
derek is a one dimensional player.i swear this is all he does.. it's amazing no doubt.. but one trick pony
Oh C´mon....
Somebody had to say it man! I fallen in love while listening to Midnight Harlem. Kept playing it 200 times a day for a month. Then went to other songs and... damn :/
That's one hell of a fucking dimension though.
Yep me too. And I'm a drummer not a guitar player. But Trucks takes it beyond. And with Susan's singing, I wet myself.
This actually brings a tear to my eye, its just crazy beautiful.
3:24 for one of the most beautiful guitar solos of all time
Perfect phrasing in that last solo from Derek. Don’t think I’ve ever heard a solo come out so perfectly. Truly amazing. I can’t stop listening!
Dereck plays like John sings
kinda remind me of each other
0:15 BB king was like hot damn this kid is dope
John Mayer just appreciates the instrument. He’s mesmerized watching Derek lol 🙌🏽
Derek Trucks IS one of the finest guitar players to ever exist.
I saw Bb King at 83 years old and it was amazing. I’m so happy I got to see him. He was such a great guy and I love his music. The Blues!
John stopped playing to enjoy Trucks.
It takes a master to recognize the genius of another master. At 3:48 Derek starts a build up. At 3:55 John can't even help himself from making one of his stupid faces. He's just diggin' the music so much.
Thank God he did
BB King tells you it’s the best guitar playing he ever heard !!? - Derek you’re a Legend 🙌🏼
Man i used to see B.B. every year. Legend. Thank for the memories
This is simply amazing. Derek is a monster.
I love it when great musicians admire other great musicians!
John Mayer's face when Derek hits that stanktastic note above the frets at 3:56 is my favorite part of this video because it's literally the same face I made when I heard it for the first time. Derek making it sing again. Beautiful.
Susan Tedeski, Derek Tedeski, John Mayer, BB THE KING ... Damn!
❤️
This is the only time I've ever genuinely felt a man make a guitar SING especially from 3:30 to 4:30
What a beautiful set of four people. Impossible not to smile watching/hearing this video.
Dude I can't tell you how many times I've watched this video or seen it referenced in other videos/places online. You captured a moment that is immortalized in the culture now.
I'm not crying! you're crying! when BB said "that's about as good as I've ever heard" I teared up.
What I love most about Trucks is his unlevelled respect whilst playing within a set of musicians. He plays out front only when he needs to, to many musicians fight for dominance in a jam/composition of musicians. Trucks is one of those rare few lead guitarist (not that I even think I could even decide whether to call him a lead or rhythm guitarist) that just perfectly know their place and when to move up or down the (food chain) as it were. Its true respect within a band and a brilliant example is when he's playing with billy gibbons and joe bonamassa at the Freddie king memorial, dereks solo completely blows joes and even billys solo out of the water but when hes not soloing he is calm collected and perfectly capable of just stepping back out of the limelight to play his piece of the puzzle and to be fair even when he does solo he does shun away the focus on him, he's said in an interview he likes the music to be at the front not him................I have major respect for Derek and he is so inspirational.
RQBassist I believe DT to be the epitome of admirable humility both on stage and in person!
I think he's the king of humble understated virtuosity because he seems as though he could less about the spotlight. He absolutely slays on slide guitar and can make most players shy away from following him. But he doesn't want that. I think Derek just loves the sound of playing with all his friends.
Pretty much the opposite of his wife here! Haha
I get goosebumps every time I hear that solo it is beautiful.
Trucks is one of the few modern blues players to have his own unique voice on the guitar. So many blues guitarists sound the same or like clones of someone else. I like players that you recognize after a single note. Prime BB King, Buddy Guy, Jimmy Vaughn...they stand out to me more than a lot of the more popular names.
Trucks is like an unknown God of the guitar, he overshadows any star that he backs up.... no lie!!!!
Derek Trucks is arguably the best living guitar player. Dead has to be Duane Allman
Joe "Best living guitar player"? Not as long as the likes of Jeff Beck, John McLaughlin, Al di Meola, Eric Johnson, Steve Vai, Guthrie Govan, Paul Gilbert, George Benson, Allan Holdsworth, Tommy Emmanuel or a shit ton of other guitarists are alive. Even in the hypothetical afterlife, you'd still have guys like Django Reinhardt, Wes Montgomery, Paco de Lucia, Terry Kath, SRV, Gary Moore and , ofc, Jimi. It's not even close. Most Blues guitarists are at the bottom of the food chain, and yes, I am serious, since Blues has been stagnant for decades and has no innovators anymore. Playing the same tired pentatonic licks that millions of other guitarists (literally) have played already does not make you the "best living guitar player".
Incog2k6 Derek Trucks plays jazz too. You speak ignorantly. He's a great guitarist. So are many of the guys you named but some of the names you dropped are like comparing apples to oranges. Trucks is unique and one of a kind. He mastered the slide and took it further than ever. He isn't just another school of theory player. Yeah there are lots of greats but he is one of them. Jimi is my favorite, Eddie was the man, Trucks is another innovator. I'm sorry if you don't like it
Incog2k6 Trucks took slide and done something new with it, just like Jimi took his gear and done something new. He's an innovator and has a fucking amazing sense for musical playing, unlike A LOT of people at his level who make boring sounding music, sometimes even Guthrie bores me despite him being arguably the most well rounded modern guitar virtuoso (or at least well known). I'm positive if Trucks were to play other genres you would be satisfied, it's just that he chose the blues, I'm sure he could easily play neo-soul or Rock very well.
Joe Simply the best with Charlie starr and Warren haynes
To all the Mayer Haters, First, this wasn't a competition between Trucks and Mayer. Second, the man is an incredible master of the guitar. Eric Clapton doesn't just call anybody a "masterful guitarist." BB King didn't just let anyone play on stage with him. Watch BB King & John Mayer "King of Blues" video and you'll see him let loose a little more. Yeah, he can be a prick in "celebrity land" and the media can portray him however they want, but his ability as a guitarist simply cannot be questioned; and the knowledge he has and the respect he shows for the legendary guitarists, is something that's always apparent with John Mayer. He pays his respects. You can hear it in a lot of his music, but he also has his own unique sound and style of playing that's not necessarily a shredding, Duane Allman or Jimi Hendrix, flying around the fret board, hitting a thousand notes, type of playing. He makes every note count if that makes sense. Every note he plays is an expressive sound that just goes with whatever style or song he's playing.
EDCarolina thank you, someone that speaks sense here
Thanks man
True enuff. Its just a shame that a few of the best musicians just happen to be arrogant assholes; and for some it is hard to separate the art from the artist. So, basically just like rest of humanity.
Derek is miles ahead better than John. It’s God giving talent, no hard feelings for Mayer fans, it’s just truth.
I cant stop coming back and listening to this masterpiece!
BB's compliment even made the camera tear up.
i don't think people realise how legendary this is. this will never ever happen again rip BB KING abd rock on Derek!
Sometimes, you know something, but you don't realize you do. At 0:32 Derek stops and looks at BB because, as this whole get together is a bit of an homage to him, this is the perfect spot to put in the signature BB note. Which I alwayyyys heard, but never understood or noticed until I began to learn minor blues guitar. So, having heard this many times, and not thinking anything of it, and then going back and watching, and seeing Derek silently acknowledge it and BB snap along with him, I feel privileged to have lived at the time of guys like this.
the king's reply afterwards :))
"top dawg"
Damn I wish BB was still hear breaks my Heart!
BB saying "that's about as good as I've ever heard it", had to be a high point; a high compliment from a blues legend. That had to feel pretty good, especially since he absolutely earned it!
So nice to read all the comments on this thread from so many who acknowledge the incredible gift that Derek Trucks has been blessed with - which he shares so freely with such endearing humility. He is as great a human being as he is a musician. May he live a long and happy life, just like BB ! 😊
You know it's real, when you feel it. I get teary eyed every time I listen to that solo. Amazing
That's just incredible. The blues has been done over and over, but that's just unbelievable.
When the King of Blues tells you it's, "the best I've ever heard it", you know you're doing something right. BB King giving trucks that affirmation was incredible. The man knows a gifted musician when he sees one. It was like watching a proud father enjoying his son's work paying off. Trucks is the absolute best at slide guitar today, hands down. John Mayer is an absolute legend at rhythm and blues as well. Just fabulous all around.
John Mayer has more than earned a spot on that stage. Trucks is like a musical freak of nature on slide and it's something that just out shines everything because it's a rare treat to find someone who not only plays slide but so unbelievably awesome as well. But Mayer has shown he is legitimate top shelf as blues and rock.
Please never take this down.
There's so much Mississippi farm in that sound Trucks. It feels good to listen to. Wish I coulda been there.
"That's as good as I've ever heard"
If BB King said that to me I'd melt into an absolute emotional wreck on the floor. That weight of that statement coming from the legend that is BB is beyond description.
Wonderful Blues exhibition by some of the best that ever loved and played it! Hats off to John Mayer's modest humility that is so characteristic of his demeanor towards fellow musicians. You can see genuine appreciation for Derek's talent as he defers up close and personal to him. BB is a gas in this video! Love them all, great masters they all be. What a blessing ❣❣❣
Almost 4 years later and I STILL feel bad for John Mayer.
John Doe For having more money than you and I could ever dream of? With the ability to get any girl on the planet? And being a tremendous musician? Yeah he's had it rough since he shared the stage with 2 of the best in the game.
Fuck John Mayer.
ErichWilliam If he was smart, he would have simply unplugged his guitar, and walked off stage. Mayer is beyond over-rated....
Fuck right off. John Mayer did show respect. You want him to walk off the stage? This isn't some competition where someone quits out of respect or shame. Music is about expression, JM's music has succeeded in expressing something to a lot of people. You may hate his music and think he's a dumbass in interviews but he made it to that stage on his own.
If Eric Clapton, BB King and Buddy Guy think he's great, he's not "overrated" and he doesn't need to walk off the stage.
Rice amen to that
I love how this is pretty much just a jam session to them everyone’s just enjoying each others playing and be in each others presence
I watch this video a few times a week and get chills every single time. Derek is something else, man. So inspiring...
Always gives me goosebumps. What better compliment to receive - what an amazing moment for Derek
This was the best 6 minutes of my day. BB's genuine appreciation for the monster talent that is Trucks was a reminder of what music is all about. He wanted to stay all night and just jam. I'd stay to watch too. Take nothing away from Mayer though. He is a supreme talent and wasn't trying to take center stage here. A humble JM was clearly blown away and inspired by Trucks' playing. *hits repeat*
What a moment they shared! Mayer self-composed, King gushing over Derek, both Mr. and Ms Trucks humbled to be there🥲
A gathering of legends with king as king
