Welcome to Vol. 7 of Face-Melting Kids, our semi-regular series on child prodigies who rock.
Well he's not a kid any more, but Derek Trucks was just 13 years old and opening for the Allman Brothers Band when this video was shot.
Now I'm no guitar expert, but I'm pretty sure he rips his SG a new one as he covers Layla then opens it up for a really nice jam here at Walnut Creek on July 4, 1993.
Happy to say he's still melting faces today, with a full Summer of appearances including a just-announced spot on the opening night lineup for this year's All Good Music Festival July 8-11 in West Virgina.

Phish Rock Bonnaroo with the Boss!
Hit “play” above to watch Phish with Bruce Springsteen.
The 8th annual Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Machester, TN has just wrapped up. And though the festival was inspired by Phish's off-the-beaten-path-festivals, this year is the first time Phish played the festival.
On Friday Phish played three-hour set featuring a Highway to Hell bustout (first since 2/26/97) and later a YEM > Wilson > YEM sandwich to close the 2nd set at 2:15 am.
The band had Saturday off, but Fishman (in a suit) and David Grisman joined the Del McCoury Band at Bonaroo for three songs including Beauty of My Dreams.
On Sunday Phish closed the festival with a two set show. The obvious highlight — a sit-in by Bruce Springsteen during the 1st set for Mustang Sally (first since 8/05/88), Bobby Jean, and Glory Days.
My boyhood hero and still hero.
— Trey Anastasio introducing Bruce Springsteen
Overall the whole experience looked like a blast, and with the help of PhishTube, Joephus and Bonnaboobs, once again I almost feel like I was at the show. Thank you intrepid streamers. Total game-changer.

My only gripe is that it's a little cumbersome to have to select each song individually, and the video was incredibly choppy on my connection, but it's hard to complain when the price is so right. If nothing else you're getting a free soundboard stream from each band.
The site says the videos will be up for a limited time only so get your fix while the gettin's good.

Hot on the heels of the first (and very well received) Trey Anstasio & Classic TAB show in Brooklyn, the band was back together again on Sunday for one set at the first All Points West Music & Arts Festival at Liberty State Park in Jersey City, NJ.
As expected, the show didn't match the energy or intimacy of Classic TAB's warm-up show in Brooklyn, but Trey still managed to deliver some “dirty wah” and “nasty solos” at the APW Fest according to the fine folks @glidemag.
An all killer no filler affair where the band didn’t take many chances, but allowed Trey to rip some incredibly fast and melodic solos.
— Scott Bernstein

P.S. Sorry for the boring headline. It was really all I could muster. If you have better ideas, drop a comment.
Update (11:49 PM): Word is that Trey sat in with Jack Johnson on Mudfootball. More details as they come.
Update (August 14, 2008): I've just added a bunch of pictures of Trey at All Points West thanks to Matt Simpson of WNEW FM in New York.
Update (September 11, 2008): Trey's going on an eight show Fall Tour with Classic TAB band mates Russ Lawton, Tony Markellis and Ray Paczkowski.

Less than a month after Trey's triumphant return at ROTHBURY and in the midst of all sorts of Phish reunion speculation, Big Red returned to the stage again today for a solo acoustic set at the legendary Newport Folk Festival.
Trey's Newport setlist was filled with plenty of Phish tunes and included a bunch of songs that weren't played at ROTHBURY — namely Bouncing Around the Room, Heavy Things, Shine, Bathtub Gin, and Wilson.
Trey also debuted two songs at Newport: Peggy and If I Could Be a Sailor. The latter was written 10 years ago with, and dedicated to, Tom Marshall. It was described on Glide Magazine's Twitter stream as sounding like Dan Hill's 1977 ballad Sometimes When We Touch.
Scroll down for audio and videos from the show. And be sure to to check back once in a while as I'll be adding more audio sources and videos from Trey's Newport set as soon as I find them.
Phish’s Trey Anastasio, one of the day’s least folky performers in theory, was the only act to play unplugged and solo. He sounded as gentle as a mountain dulcimer.
