this is quite simply one of the best bands out there today. they are captured here on tour in the most recent iteration of the group showcasing their current studio release, ‘let me get by’. recorded last year at the venerable old fox theater in oakland, it has a healthy mix of their originals plus a diverse offering of covers from artists such as clapton, dylan, beatles, miles davis, leonard cohen, santana, and others. the eleven piece band is a well oiled machine and can tackle all of the genres that derek and susan incorporate into their overall sound. accompanying the two cd set is a dvd of most of the whole show, with vignettes between songs introducing the main characters and the venue. of special note is derek and special guest alam khan dueting with derek on his gibson and alam on the sarode. i can think of no other guitarist alive today who could have pulled this off this beautifully. well worth your time.
