QuoteMore Hot Rocks Butch Trucks said of Derek. "Derek is what Duane could of become". What a compliment! I have heard that which makes me wonder about Clapton supposedly removing Derek from his tour?
Forum: Tell Me

trucks is the greatest player on the planet. i vote you off the planet. you and derek cannot co-exist on this one. The hype didn't get past Clapton who dismissed him from his tour, still touting Derek's greatness as EC is a master of the b.s. game. What more can you tell us abot Clapton booting Trucks from his tour? I never heard this before.

I catch an Allmans show every year and they are always great. I have never seen them reading music and playing incompetently. Trucks and Haynes are great guitarists who rarely have a bad night.

Yes there are people here and eleswhere speculating over who did it. The smart bet is on Bin laden inspired 'fellow travelers.' Yet we still need facts. Mathijis' statisitcs are misleading and oddly enough failed to mention non 'right wing' groups who have been historically active in the USA.

Quotewhitem8 The article, while sad and hard to read, also had some very poignant truths. It is a sad legacy for the end of their touring career to be charging so much for tickets. It is unnecessary.
