What's expressvu? All I get is over the air HD broadcasts here in SF Bay Area.

Derek is awesome. He also allows free downloads of his shows via archive.org on the live music archive. I've downloaded a few shows and they are all great.

Im not sure what channel he's talking about Dartanion, but on Direct TV, these shows were on HDNET channel yesterday. As was Satriani, and John Cougar Mellonhead.......Steve

expressvu is the canadian = to directv/dishnetwork and the concerts were on HDNET, although i don't think i will bother to watch betts again, after trucks show, betts just seems sloppy uninspired and lackluster:(

I saw Derek when he was about 13, I think. It was at "The Supper Club" in Auburn, Al. His tone was great even then. He sounded and played just like Duane Allman. It was one of those jaw-dropping experiences you never forget. This shy kid just gets up there and destroys you with his command of the instrument. Saw him again a few years ago and he had come into his own style and his playing was so soulfull. His tone was amazing.

I love Derek's tone too. The only thing I don't like is the noise he makes between slides. For some reason that irritates me. I saw him with the Allman Bros and he was awesome.
