Derek Trucks at Wanee 2006

In honor of the upcoming 5th annual Wanee Festival, it’s only fitting that this month’s DOTM be one of the greatest sets in the festival’s brief but exhilarating history. To close out the 2nd year of Wanee, the Derek Trucks Band promptly took the stage mere minutes after the Allman Brothers had just finished their epic set and proceeded to rock everyone’s socks off with what would eventually become one of the most infamous sets in Wanee history. With tons of guest appearances, ming-shattering jams and sing-along covers, the crowd was uproarious from start to finish, closing out the festival in a way only Derek Trucks and his trusty slide guitar could. Here’s what transpired…

Highlights from the show include the always-electrifying Indian-instrumental Sahib Teri Bandi, which Derek took to exotic extremes, a whaling rendition of The Weight with Susan channeling her inner Aretha, and Feel So Bad, with Floyd and Susan’s back-and-forth bluesy vocals taking over. See you at Wanee 2009!
