A bit interesting but unfortunately it has the horrible 'follow the guitar' mixing that the horrible movie has.

I did too. At first.
If the director would've kept his parts out of it...

I always thought it could have been better if MS just put a camera in a seat with a wide angle. Just let happen what happens. There was way to much mugging for the shoot

I saw them a few weeks back.. Yes great show and they did Sweet Virgina.
Derek Trucks is great and fun to watch.
Just seemed to me there should have been MORE TRUCKS and less Tedeschi.

Sounds like you should have gone to see the Derek Trucks Band as opposed to the Tedeschi Trucks Band. Except, even then you may have come away disappointed as the Derek Trucks Band could be quite the different beast than the TTB is at this point.
I think I'm actually in much the same boat as you are... If there were Trucks solos between every verse and chorus as well as in the intros and outros, I might be able to get my fill. However, I'm not sure that would lead to a musically satisfying night for the rest of the audience and band.
From my point of view, if there is one thing about Derek that I like more than his playing, it's his apparent lack of ego. Or his ability to hide his ego hidden if he does have one. From where I sit, it doesn't seem to matter to him that his name is part of the band name or that he's the most talented musician on stage. Sure I'd like to hear him play more. But when someone THAT talented chooses to be "a band member" who's sole goal is to serve the song more than serving himself, I've got to accept his judgment and be glad that I'm fortunate enough to hear him play.
Peace,

Just saw them at Red Rocks a couple weeks ago.
Susan definitely put the Tedeschi in the TTB. Her guitar playing has improved every year significantly since her and Derek hooked up. She stole the show from every guitar player up on stage that night, including Derek, Wood Bros and Hot Tuna players. Great rendition of Sweet Virginia, but the night belonged to Susan.

The only changes I would make to the above would be to add "possibly" before each occurrence of "the best". As a buddy of mine used to say: "He may not be in a class by himself, but I can assure you it doesn't take long to call the role."
The one person who pops into my mind that would keep Trucks out of the "teacher's pet" spot might be Sonny Landreth. I'd have to seriously consider other options before I'd put anyone else of a similar genre up above them. As I brainstorm, I'm getting more and more "No's" and, thus far, the only one maybe might be Brian Setzer. I'm thinking he'd be a classmate though as opposed to valedictorian.

Yeah Sonny. Good call!!! That guy is awesome and I mostly never use the A word.
