Eric Clapton's "Crossroads Guitar Festival"


Flash Tizzle

Recommended Posts

At Toyota Park (in Bridgeview) on July 28 is the second 'Crossroads' tour headlined by Clapton. :cheers :headbang I don't believe tickets go on sale until March 31. Several quality performers:

 

Eric Clapton

Steve Winwood

BB King

Willie Nelson

Jeff Beck

Vince Gil

Sheryl Crow

Buddy Guy

John Mayer

 

Other artists will be announced at a late day. $90 for tickets, but free for me because there's no way I'm avoiding work on this day. :D

It was phenomenal. Best concert I've ever seen.

 

Anyone else attend?

 

I did not and I'm jealous of anyone who did.

 

However because the internet rocks, I was able to watch it: http://music.msn.com/crossroads?silentchk=1&

 

 

"Sweet Home Chicago" looked ridiculous. (a) who was that guy who could barely stand and (B) how did they get all those guys to play at the same time without it sounding like garbage? I was impressed.

Are Winwood, Nelson, Gil, Crow and Mayer guitar legends?? I'm gonna go with hell no, but I guess they had to sell tix somehow.

Well, if you believe Rollling Stone magazine John Mayer is considered one of the new "Guitar Gods." :bang

 

Just for note, whomever was Jeff Beck's bass guitarist (I'm guessing his daughter) was unbelievable. She can't be more than 15 or 16 years old.

Pfft. John Mayer has a few decent tunes, but c'mon. Just because at times the guy is trying his hardest to sound like Stevie Ray Vaughn doesn't mean he's succeding.
