Crossroads: Eric Clapton Guitar Festival 2007

FABULOUS!! This DVD gets played at least once a week at my house. The second DVD is loaded with Jeff Beck, Eric, John Mayer, and the incomparable Steve Winwood. A must have for all true rock and roll fans. Play it loud and enjoy!

What a great video! From Sonny Landreth's opening set this concert was fantastic. Highlights for my wife and I were Landreth, Jeff Beck, Johnny Winter, Buddy Guy and Derek Trucks. Doyle Bramhall, Vince Gill and John McLaughlin also had excellent sets. Eric's rendition of "Isn't It A Pity" was very good and a fitting tribute to George Harrison. The biggest problem was for me was that John McLaughlin only had one song and Jeff Beck only had two on the DVD. Those are two of the greatest guitar players of all time, I would have thought they would get more time on a DVD of a guitar festival.

While they weren't bad, Sheryl Crow, Steve Winwood and Willie Nelson suffered in comparison. They just weren't quite at the same level as most of the other artists, IMO.

Sound and video quality were both excellent, I believe it was recorded in HD. If so, I hope it is eventually released on Blu-Ray, I would definitely double dip for this one.

People talk about sequels not measuring up but that certainly isn't the case here. Clapton has once again managed to put together an amazing collection of artists doing what they do best. Granted I am a Clapton fan, but this isn't about Eric. This is about what he put together. What a treat watching some of the classics like Jeff Beck and John Maclaughlin playing live. And, in case some of you may not have noticed Beck's bass player is absolutely AMAZING....cute too. This is an extremely worthwhile investment if you like good music, not just the blues.

This DVD portrays the best of the best in guitar talent. Relive the past, enjoy the present, and check out some of the greats of the future. You will not be dissapointed. If you're at a crossroad whether to buy this,definitely take this one for a a ride.

Crossroads: Eric Clapton Guitar Festival 2007 -
What an amazing concert. I would recommend everyone who loves music to buy this DVD because it's a real treasure, and as such it's also a great collectors item, or indeed a great gift to give to anyone who appreciates good music.

The young girl who played awesome bass guitar when accompanying the great guitar legend-Jeff Beck was absolutely brilliant. For someone so young and talented to be able to stand on a stage and play with Jeff Beck as well as keep up with him and lead him, just shows how great she really is as a bass guitarist. Sadly
however, I saw no mention of her name on the DVD box to refer to, as I would certainly like to learn more about her, as she has an exciting future ahead of her for sure.

This is certainly one of the best concerts I have enjoyed in my lifetime and believe me I have seen many. Eric Clapton and Stevie Winwood were fantastic together too. This concert definitely gets a 5 star rating from me.
