I got great seats for all three DC shows. For the last night I've been blessed with front row center Pit.

I'll be getting a hotel and staying in DC for the entire run.

This is gonna be fun!

Sweet, give us a post show update. We saw them at the Beacon and they are un equaled live.

Have not been on the TTB website for a few days.
I missed the presale.

Sounds like TTB's next album will be live, and is already to go. Let Me Get By is one of my favorite albums by anyone, really solid.

Two things:
- I didn't realize "Let Me Get By" was about leaving the Allmans, I can appreciate that even more now.
- Holy crap, Derek and Susan have a 14-year old! Wasn't Derek playing "Layla" at that age?

Derek Trucks talks about latest recording before Mohegan Sun Arena show

Derek Trucks is juggling.

The guitarist is fulfilling a few interview requests, monitoring his 14-year-old son's baseball injury, and getting ready to mix a live album from the Tedeschi Trucks Band's last tour.

All this while waiting for singer Mike Mattison to arrive at Trucks' home studio to begin the process of recording songs for a new record.

The Tedeschi Trucks Band, a 12-piece monster that would be considered a "supergroup" based solely on namesakes Trucks and his wife Susan Tedeschi, is less than a year into touring to support the brilliant "Let Me Get By," and still has upcoming dates at Mohegan Sun Arena (Oct. 30) and The Orpheum in Boston (Dec. 2, 3, 4).

"We want to keep it moving forward," said Trucks. "The last one we really hit our stride as far as writing as a group. Everyone is chomping at the bit to do the next one."

The "next one" will have a lot to live up to.

"Let Me Get By" is a showcase for a group of musicians who have committed to the singular cause of being the Tedeschi Trucks Band.

"The recording and the song (title track) is very much about that," said Trucks. "Sometimes a song is about a vague idea. This was very specific. It is about us as a band, about me leaving the Allman Brothers. This is us writing to people with their faces in mind."

The song, as personal as it was during the creative process, presents universal truths that are relatable to anyone who has struck out on their own.

"Well, that is the litmus test," said Trucks. "That is the high art of it. Can you write a personal story that resonates with others? The greats, like Dylan and Leonard Cohen, there stuff is loaded with that. The rest of us don't often get a sniff at that."

Trucks said the recording was the result of "what happens when no adults are in the room." It is an authentic work with a vintage sound that wraps gospel and pop with funk and blues. It is the sound of collaboration that happens when the creation of the music takes precedent over who might eventually listen to it or where it might be heard.

"Where would you even go to buy music today," laughed Trucks. "It is such a different world now. I feel lucky that even after 20 years on the road I've never seen a check from selling a record. It's always been about touring. So in that sense I don't feel like I've lost something. But still, it is nice to make records. It's a snapshot in time of where the band was."
