Derek Trucks solos on "Midnight In Harlem" with the Tedeschi Trucks Band at the Palace Theatre in Albany, NY on December 2, 2012.

It's honestly unbelievable that there is a person alive right now that can just do that

[musicmanxii]

Pure artistic expression, with no separation between consciousness and medium. This is what every musician/artist aspires for

[DavidRFIT]

He could well be the best slide player in history.

I've listened to this solo performance for probably 8 years now and every single fucking time I am speechless and blown away. This version of the solo must never go away. Bless whoever filmed this

[tylerm]

I heard they named a car after this guy

[bonkorcher]

so emotional and makes me never give up in this hard times

[johnaguilar]

It’s October 4 2024 needed to hear this today I come here every so often for a pick me up the soulful sound of the guitar 🎸 just lifts me up 😊

[mooncat]

That guitar has more emotion than anyone's singing I've ever heard

[TaylorJohnson]

The emotion that swells in my eyes keeps me from watching this everyday. Too much goodness.

[alexparadise]

If rapidly falling in love had a sound. It would be this. An explosion of life and color.

[SolarSailor]

I swear that his calm reverent look combined with the sounds coming forth makes it a spiritual experience.

[albertswagert]

That is the kind of solo you wish would go on for eternity.

[adultlife]

This is the best version of this solo I can find. It's always incredible, but Derek really found the lyrics in this one. Flawlessly executed. Pure soul.

[MoxieCom]

To say Derek is a masterful slide guitar player doesn't really describe this performance... He plays slide guitar with the kind of devotion, sensitivity and wisdom of an oracle. He "left it all on stage" with this soulful and inspired performance and the world seems like a better place to me now. Thank you Derek. ;)

[rolon-will]

Is this the most beautiful guitar solo of all time? It’s not my genre, I don’t play slide, but I keep coming back to this vid and my heart melts every single time. Just gorgeous!

[cavscout]

Not only The Best Slide Player but also Picker. I’ve been watching/listening to Derek since he was just a Boy and he’s the Greatest Guitarist Alive.

[DougWeaver]

EASILY one of the best guitarist in history, overall. Some of this cat’s long riffs can bring tears to your eyes!

[danordaz]

Now I too need to listen to this daily! Chills when he hits that high note near the end!!!

[zanew]

I’ve probably watched this a million times

[RobertCUlon]

This is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard.
