Eric Clapton's "Crossroads Guitar Festival"

Featured Replies

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 is.

 

Tickets go on sale beginning 10am at Tickermaster.

 

Vanilla Ice and Chicago are performing here this week. :crying

Wow, this would be an awesome show to go see. Its kinda weird that I broke out the Traveling Wilbury's CD this weekend...

Curious, what part of that goes with Wilburys?

Didn't Clapton play with them? Or am I losing it?

You lost it a long time ago.

 

/door slams in background

Jeff Lynne

Bob Dylan

Tom Petty

Roy Orbison

 

Nevermind... I don't know where I got Clapton from :bang

Roy Orbison thought it was Clapton as well, they never told him the truth . . . :ph34r:

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.

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.
