Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Very satisfied Comment: Fast shipping and item was in great condition. I would buy from this seller again. Customer Rating: Summary: A Must-Buy for Blues Fans and Wannabe Guitar Heros Comment: If you're looking for a grassroots feel to a truely spontaneous concert, this collection of performances over a day-long concert in suburban Chicago is well worth the coin you'll spend. The line-up is spactacular and the emotion created on-stage will spill out of your flat-screen and onto the livingroom floor. The two-dvd set will feature some of the greatest guitarists of all time on stage from various genre' and comes to a turmultuous finale' when 7 guitarist hit the stage to play Clapton's favorites. The shear force of this segment must have put-out a brilliant shockwave that must have been felt in far-away Des Moines. If you've grown bored by a sucession of live shows that are overly-produced to the point of yawn-dom, this is a refreshing time-out from all of the hype. You'll see the human side of these artists with backstage interviews and short edits of legends coming-on and off of their performances. One of the notable high-points was the 15 year-old bassist of Jeff Beck. She is a genius and the facial expressions and body language that emanates from her as she leans-into the tunage will give you goose-bumps. The fact that the entire 2007 concert was a fundraiser for Clapton's Crossroads Centre, a very successful detoxification facility, makes the performances just that much more compelling. PBS offered this set duirng one of their fundraising telecasts. You can get it here for far less. Enjoy! And when it's done, you look at your axe and say, "I've got some new chops to learn!" or "It's hopeless...I'm selling my Strat on eBay." Customer Rating: Summary: Crossroads - Eric Clapton Comment: I love any video concerts of Eric Clapton's ... this video makes 4 in our library ... my husband & I saw him in Vancouver, BC last year and he was awesome in concert ... we are big fans. Thanks very much! Customer Rating: Summary: "Say Bob, this is how we do Highway 61" - J. Winter Comment: This terrific show features Johnny Winter (still alive and well) doing a sensational "Highway 61". This song alone is worth the price of admission. It's like when Hendrix showed Bob how to play "All along the Watchtower". Customer Rating: Summary: NOT TOO GREAT Comment: I WAS SORT OF DISAPPOINTED WITH THE CUTS THAT MADE THE DVD AS THERE WAS NO JEFF BECK. J.J. CALE DIDN'T NEED TO BE THERE SO MUCH EITHER. I THINK ERIC SHOULD LET SOMEONE ELSE PUT ON THIS SHOW AS HIS CHOICES OF MUSICIANS WERE SOMEWHAT QUESTIONABLE. SHERYL CROW? CROSSROADS GUITAR FEST MEANS GUITAR PLAYERS. THE BUDDY GUY SET WAS DAM GOOD. I WOULD MAYBE RENT THIS FIRST BEFORE YOU BUY IT AS I WAS MOSTLY DISAPPOINTED WITH IT. THAT GUITAR CLAPTON PLAYS IS ONE OF THE MOST CHEESIEST LOOKING GUITARS I HAVE EVER SEEN. THE NEXT TIME, ERIC, RELEASE THE WHOLE SHOW, JUST NOT YOUR INFLUENCES. AND IF YOU HAVE ANOTHER GUITAR FESTIVAL, INVITE SOME GUNSLINGERS, NOT A BUNCH OF WORN OUT BLUES PLAYERS. More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: The second Crossroads Guitar Festival - a day-long concert featuring legendary music & collaborations - was held on July 28, 2007 to benefit the Crossroads Centre in Antigua. Filmed in HD, this two disc DVD features over four hours of historic performances from that day. Since it's inception, Eric Clapton's vision for the festival has been to create an event where his friends & contemporaries can have fun & jam together for the benefit of a good cause.
