All those bad apples out there trying to ruin it for everybody else really make my skin boil. Some selfish heartless bastard stole most of Derek Trucks Bands’ gear in Georgia last Thursday while Trucks was playing a show in New York with the Allman Brothers Band. Here is the official statement from derektrucks.com:
| DTB Gear Stolen | |
| As many of you already know, the band’s trailer was stolen last Thursday night with all of our stage gear. We really appreciate everyone’s concern and support. The gear was insured so we’re not looking for donations, just asking for everyone to keep an eye out for the gear in their local communities and online since many items were unique and irreplaceable. Since the trailer was stolen in Atlanta it would be helpful if fans/friends in the southeast would contact their local music stores that buy used gear and give them the list below to keep an eye out. Everyone else should keep an eye on websites that deal in vintage gear. Thanks again for your concern.Key items to keep an eye out for:Pearl 5-piece Drum Kit (Black) (SN# 652623, 642341, 83233, 6526231, 652163)Fender Super Reverb Combo Amp (blackface) with Weber speakers by Jenson (SN# A13225)Fender Super Reverb Combo Amp (SN# A06896) (blackface) with Pile Driver speakersHammond B-3 (SN# pending) Custom foot switch Hammond Leslie amp – 147 model (SN# H25474) Hohner Clavinet E7 (SN# 3447 410) Yamaha Motif keyboard (SN# IHO1189) Ampeg SVT Bass Head (1974) (SN# 112149) Matchless Chieftain 2X10 combo amp (’96) |
