    Folks if you have the opportunity to see TTB in concert don't think twice, buy your ticket and go. I saw them in Jacksonville Fl, A three hour drive from my home. It was worth every minute of travel time and worth every dime for admission. Susan is beautiful and her voice makes angles cry. Her hubby has a little talent on slide guitar. 👍 The entire band is just a wonder to hear and also to see. It is quite the party. GO SEE THIS BAND IN CONCERT! Your soul with thank you.

    Story is they used to tour together but as separate bands, and saw the Mad Dogs and Englishmen tour organized by Leon Russell and saw how much fun they were having playing with a big big band on stage. They got a horn section and backup singers and started touring as the TTB. I for one am glad they did this. Their sound is so much richer now and they're also able to play more music that requires a big band, rather than the 4 piece bands they used to have when they were separate bands.
    This version of the Letter has such a Joe Cocker, Leon Russell feeling to it.

    Although DT played for years with ABB, he said he had never seen Mad Dogs & Englishmen, the movie with Joe Cocker, Leon Russell, et al traveling around with loved ones and kids in a large ensemble. When he finally saw it, he determined that's how he wanted to do it with TTB. The results are simply astounding. You can feel the love!

      imo Derek is a once in a generation player that is lost on the masses because of who he is (humble and quiet) and the kind of music of he plays. Their loss. Ive never seen a single performance of his that at some point doesnt give me a "holy shit" chicken skin moment. And like you said - he's always in service of the song or the jam, never just showboating - even though he could melt everyone's face at any moment

      @ozzypieozzypie9136 9 лет назад +1

      +Roseanne Salyer To each his or her own, but Derek is THE talent in the band and Susan and the size of the band reduces Derek's role unlike with the DTB. The music is very different as well, no offense to Susan but some of us who preferred the DTB miss it greatly and the TTB just doesn't fill the void.

    • @crazyhawk59
      @crazyhawk59 8 лет назад +1

      Maybe that's the way he likes it. And to be clear, I haven't heard much of his music. A couple of songs and I don't even remember which ones. He came to my attention through watching ABB videos. I will have to give DTB a harder listen.

    • @ozzypieozzypie9136
      @ozzypieozzypie9136 8 лет назад +1

      TTB was formed so Derek and Susan could be together on the road to raise their children and is pretty much a merger of what was their former bands. Their musical styles merged somewhat but more towards Susan's end because she's the vocalist. This eliminated Derek's jazz improvisations almost completely and reduced his playing overall. While the reason for the bands formation is certainly admirable, and with the end of the ABB, watching Derek only playing with the TTB in his musical prime is a little disappointing. Hopefully when the kids grow up he'll move in another direction. I hope you like the DTB stuff.

    Love it when Classic songs are revealed/Revived. So many great songs could be jump started again from groups like The Beau Brummell’s , Rascals, Quick Silver to name just a few

    Super tight band. As a drummer for 53 years, it takes a REAL drummer to share the stage with another drummer on easy songs such as these. Solid work.

    Great rendition of a golden oldie. Loved Joe Cocker, but Susan can sing the hell out of any song.

      I didn't think it was possible, but Susan has more soul than Joe Coker on this version.

    This is a really nice mix, and the gal with the tambourine had the good sense to keep it away from a mic.
