Oh no!
A haitus is sad news for me, DTB has been a huge part of my life for a 10 years now..... Hopefully everyone will come back even stronger when the hiatus is over and I am anxious to see what projects (if any) everyone does during the break.

Much Deserved but we will miss them!
I will miss the band in 2010 but look forward to Susan and Derek's collaboration during the coming year...hoping for a bowl of Soul Stew! Enjoy your children while they are still children! Peace, BB

But hopefully most of the band will still be part of the highly anticipated Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi Band tour! Can't wait to hear more about it. Lisa
What every one else said....
......and hurry back!!!!
Ditto.....
On all of the above!
Already Free is so good...
...they could take two years off and surpass what most bands do in that time.
This means the next effort will be that much better as well!

Not going to be able to withstand the withdrawal from the DTB concerts we attend -- about 2 or 3 per month! Looking forward to New material...God Speed to the bad and YES they Deserve a rest!
Montreal fan
I'm glad I read this before tonight's show in Montreal ..
It's going to be extra special .. anything they play will be music to my ears .. although I'm really hoping for This Sky.
I'll miss you DTB.
good for these guys, bad for us!
Will Derek even know what to do with himself with close to a year off?
I'm a absolutely hoping that any incarnation of the DTB will continue to include Mike Mattison.....

Well Deserved...Honor Rule #7 - "Recharge Your Battery"
Having seen DT in has various incarnations 6 times over the last 18 months, I have to say that they all keep getting better and better and better. Which is real hard when you're the BEST!!! I will also see you at the final '09 stop at the Egg. Very much looking forward to absorbing every note of what I'm sure will be another super fine show. Also looking forward to all of the other fine gifts you'll be bringing us all in 2010. Keep on Truckin' DTB!!! We'll leave the light on for ya...
2009/2010
Wish all of you from dTb a joyful rest at 2010 with your family`s

during the already free tour!
It was an unforgetable time and musicaly
the deepest impression and most emotional
experience in my life...and I`m shure...
...I`m not the only one!!
The upcoming live-release will be a
great memory of a period,
which is like a stamp in the hearts
of a lot of people who really loves
this wonderful music!
Be shure...we`re holding the candle..
..if you come back on stage!!

They`re so close...and sooo far away
Hiatus
Best wishes during the greatly deserved hiatus! I would like to recommend putting out a DVD of your performances! We love to watch the video of Clapton's Blues Festival in Chicago. A whole DVD of DTB and Susan would be so cool!!!
I would also like to share a story about this awesome band. I'm an oncology nurse who works with patients who have Grade 4 brain tumors (the worst prognosis). One patient was a young man of 20 who had had several treatments and the tumor continued to grow. We always shared our love of music - he was a great guitar player himself, loving blues the most. He told me that DTB was coming to town and we should check them out. I knew who they were, but had not seen them live. We got tickets with some friends and over the next couple of months, his condition started deteriorating. I contacted the venue and the band hoping for maybe a T-shirt. I was told that we could come for the sound check before the concert and meet the band (band suggested this knowing how hard it would be for the young man in a wheelchair to sit through the concert!). The venue also pulled out the stops. When we got there, we listened to the sound check (so amazing!) and then the band came and spent quite a bit of time with the patient, his dad and sister, his friends and their families, his oncologist (65 yrs old!) and other nurses/friends/familes. They took pictures of him holding Derek's guitar and Derek gave him the slide he was using. Albums/CD's/Shirts were signed by all band members. Derek kneeled by his wheelchair and talked to him for a while, too... Not a dry eye among us... The patient was not able to stay for the concert, but Derek told him he was going to get the Allmans to sign a guitar and have it sent to him. He received it less than a week later.... and passed away about 2 weeks after the concert., a few days before his 21st birthday. At the service, the guitar was displayed up front.... Thank you all again and again...
Take Care and enjoy the time off
We'll miss you out here in Northern California. We'll look forward to hearing and seeing you again in 2011. And I agree, a DVD would be fantastic. Thanks for all the wonderful music!
Enjoy the time off
I will miss my New Years Eve ritual at the Fox, but am looking forward to the Variety Playhouse shows!

We never know how far the ripples will flow when a pebble is dropped into the pond!
Thank you to 'khunter' for the beautiful post above about the young man with Stage 4 cancer. On this Thanksgiving morning I am sitting here with tears of joy and gratitude pouring non-stop for so many things in my life, and really missing my Dad and my brother. I just shared your story with my 86 yr old Mom, Kathryn Miller. My brother, Chip and I grew up in Jax. Chip was a Southern Rock drummer, extraordinaire! He passed in 2005 from liver cancer. My father was very active with both Jax Sheriff's Dept and Florida Highway Patrol. One day, back in or around 1986, I think, my parents went to a Police Auction. They bought a beautiful red guitar, for $30. Even though my brother was a drummer they knew Chip would know someone to give it to and felt it was worth the money! In those days, $30 was a lot! That guitar was recently, along with many others, in The Folio newspaper in Jax, which featured Derek on the cover, with an awesome story about who he is and his music. I loved the article and seeing that red guitar among his treasures and so did Mom.
Four days after Chip passed Derek was in our home, with his children and his father. Mom shared the Police Auction story with Derek-which he said didn't remember hearing how Chip had gotten the guitar originally. Chip's memorial was scheduled for the next day and Derek was to leave for Nashville to do some recording. He turned to his Dad, and gently said, 'we need to change my flight' and then looked back at me and said, "I'll be there", and he was.
I cherish the memories of the days when my own son, Brian, now a touring Systems Engineer with Clair Brothers, and Derek were running around Ward's Landing, Jax Beach, and Sloppy Joe's when Chip's bands were playing..... just being kids.
Today, mother and I are grateful to know that those 'kids' have turned into loving, caring human beings who do more than make great music. They make a difference in the world through the light in their hearts! Happy Thanksgiving Derek, Susan and the entire Trucks clan. This was an amazing way to start my Thanksgiving morning.
When I read this post to Mom I could barely get through it. She softly said how wonderful it was Derek and that young man's nurse were able to do that for that for him. Then in a voice that was barely audible she said, 'I guess in some way, your brother had a part in that too I suppose since he gave Derek one of his first guitars'. I gently reminded her...."Mom, so did you". After a moment of silence she said, 'yes, I guess I did'. Touching lives, changing the world, making a difference one human being at a time. We are all connected, heart to heart.....with much love, and Happy Thanksgiving to you all! Treasure the moments that truly matter. I am always..........

I understand. You need some time with the fam, touring is hard - I know. I'll forgive you for not hitting Rochester or Buffalo this season, but when you come back, you need to hit us up with at least....3 shows. We love you here. Play at UB and Waterstreet, those are the best spots for DTB. The music is the most moving thing that's happened in years, and you've inspired a new generation of rock and blues guitarists to search out new music that they wouldn't naturally listen to. You set a great example, so don't stop, and we'll see you out in a years time.
It saddens me, but I'll get over it. Make sure the live CD has a version of These Days and I Wish I Knew.
Cheers,
SW
Thanks Again
Thanks for playing some of the most original, soulful and enjoying music out there today. With so much CRAP being thrown out there in the "music" business today, it is very refreshing to hear true musicians who really care about what they play and how they play it. Thanks for a great show last night at the Egg. That was my 4th DTB show in a row there and it just gets better every year. Enjoy the time off with your loved ones and we'll be anxiously awaiting the bands return in whatever form. Thanks again--Upstategitpicker
Thanks
