My two cents on Derek - In the last couple of years he has been white hot! Seems like more and more, I am coming away from shows saying "the kid keeps getting better and better." He's also starting to play more straight lead and has really shinned with his rhythm playing. Watching him pick with all five of his fingers is amazing as well. You can't ask for a better pair of guitarists than Young Trucks and Warren.
Speaking of Mr. Haynes, I think Warren being the bandleader is the best thing that could've happened to the band. The ABB has been much more of a "band" than it ever has since the original line up (which is why I think this IS the best lineup since the Fillmore days). Not only is Warren giving Derek room, but I can hear the whole band better these days. Everyone is playing real well off one another.
Summer can't get here soon enough. I'm in ABB withdrawal!
