Summary: banner showcase of talent
Comment: -somebody (eric clapton?)get bill murray (sp)in a rehab center! as much as i like bill murray his annoying m.c. prattle is supremley bothersome!!
murray needs to lay off the sauce and concentrate on being the great artist he can be...
as for the performances, this collection is worth owning just for the vince gill performances and the derek trucks/susan tedschi performances. (shes' so great! she made a fan of me!!!)there are many other high spots (steve winwood is typically fabulous!) and some low, but, BUY IT! you won't be sorry!! some of the performances may be the 'swan song/s' for some of the older artists. the 2007 is probably better than the 2004 but the 2004 is worth having too...(vince gill)

Summary: I was there - Bridgeview, Illinois
Comment: As far as concert videos goes, this one's a gem; although, much of the good stuff from an eleven-hour program was left on the cutting room floor. This release really needed to be a triple. Some of my favorites on the released discs were JohnnyWinter's contribution, SusanT's and hubby DerekT's, AlbertLee's. The entire 1-hr JeffBeck set was superb with amazing and HOT-bassist TalWilkenfeld; it was a pity that only 3 of the songs played from that set made it to the release. Clapton and Winwood were magic together. One of the most magical moments of the entire day was when E cozied right up next to DerekT during "Why Does Love Got to be so Sad" to play double leads - two separate, yet, complimenting leads. DT played slide and E bent notes so rigorously as to simulate a slide guitar. The song appears on the BonusDisc, but the sound mix on that disc was flawed. If you can get a copy of the MSN-feed video discs, do it. The video won't be digital quality but still similar to a good VHS. At least the sound is right! In summary, the product is excellent, and we could all quibble about what selections made it to disc and which would be cut, but I'd argue that a third disc was warranted. I hope that the next CGF is on the West Coast and includes Roy Rogers.

Summary: Eric Clapton does it again!
Comment: If you liked the previous Crossroads, you will love this one! It is amazing how many great guitarists are still playing into their 70's and 80's.
