2006 video by The Derek Trucks Band

Reception

In a review for All About Jazz Doug Collette stated that, on the DVD, the band "demonstrates what a wide vocabulary they possess, musically and intellectually, and how articulate they are in its use." He commented: "their stage presence is the natural theatre of serious musicians, intent on playing together in a way that maximizes the rapport they've built up over the years... it's clear they love to listen and watch one another, feeding ideas back and forth to enliven they playing."^[3]
