This
double-DVD set effectively captures
over four hours from one of
the most comprehensive and diverse collection of
guitarists
ever assembled for a single event. Recorded over
three days in June of 2004 to benefit Eric Clapton's
Crossroads Center in Antigua (as do the sales of
this set), the show is not surprisingly heavy on
the rootsy blues and country that comprise Clapton's
primary inspirations. But it also includes folk
(James
Taylor), gospel (Robert Randolph & the Family
Band), fret-shredding rockers (Steve Vai who delivers
a dazzling performance), jazz (John McLaughlin),
and, most interestingly, Indian classical music
(a stunning piece from Vishwa Mohan Bhatt).
Most compelling are the rare and sometimes unusual
collaborations. Joe Walsh and Taylor clown around
on "Steamroller
Blues," and Booker T. & the M.G.'s back both
Joe Walsh on a rollicking "Rocky Mountain Way" and
Los Lobos' David Hidalgo tearing into a sizzling "The
Neighborhood." Clapton and J.J. Cale share the
stage as do Clapton and Carlos Santana, and a show-stopping
blues summit with Robert Cray, Jimmie Vaughan, Hubert
Sumlin, B.B. King, Buddy Guy, and Clapton is a treat
for all involved.
Description
In June 2004, some of the greatest living guitar
players and their bands gathered at the Cotton
Bowl in Dallas, Texas, for a three-day festival

was the ultimate concert for any music lover, featuring
one legend after the other: Eric Clapton, BB King,
Buddy Guy, Eric Johnson, James Taylor, Jimmie Vaughan,
Joe Walsh, John Mayer, Robert Cray, Robert Randolph,
Santana, ZZ Top, and many more. This 2-DVD set
beautifully documents the event and contains over
4 hours of content. Planned extras include in-depth
