A lot of good (and some great) music for a worthy cause takes center stage once again as Eric Clapton hosts the second edition of his Crossroads Guitar Festival, a benefit for his Crossroads Centre rehab facility in Antigua and a near embarrassment of six-string riches occupying two discs. Staged in suburban Chicago in July, 2007, it features several of the same players who were at the first concert (2004, in Dallas), including Robert Cray, Buddy Guy, B.B. King, John Mayer, Vince Gill, John McLaughlin, and Robert Randolph. They're all in fine form, but it's those appearing for the first time who make the biggest impressions. Derek Trucks, who performs on his own, with his wife (Susan Tedeschi, herself an excellent blues guitarist), and backing several other artists (including a frighteningly decrepit-looking Johnny Winter), is a strikingly versatile young player. On the other end of the generational spectrum, the veteran Albert Lee spins out a series of stupefyingly swift licks on "Country Boy," while Jeff Beck is, well, Jeff Beck, at age 63 still inarguably one of the most original musicians to ever strap on a Stratocaster. While most of the others are content to play straight blues or blues-derived rock, Beck sounds as if he's riding a spaceship with strings, wringing sounds out of his instrument that defy understanding, let alone imitation; backed by ace drummer Vinnie Colaiuta and 22-year-old Tal Wilkenfeld, who may be the most exciting electric bassist to emerge since Jaco Pastorius, Beck delivers versions of "'Cause We've Ended as Lovers" and "Big Block" that are the highlights of the show. Elsewhere, Clapton, as is his wont, rises to the occasion in the presence of his peers and plays with considerable passion, even if his "reunion" with Steve Winwood lacks fire (mostly due to the lackluster nature of their Blind Faith-era material, other than the lovely "Can't Find My Way Home"). In the end, one might wish for more good songs, as opposed to opportunities for extended soloing, but even diehard axe-heads will surely be satiated after some four hours of hot licks. As for everyone else, well, that's why God invented the fast forward button. --Sam Graham

Customer Reviews of Crossroads: Eric Clapton Guitar Festival 2007

Beck with Wilkenfeld was the high point for me
This set is full of blues celebrities, including some I had never seen before, such as Hubert Sumlin, the great ex-Howling Wolf guitarist. There's lots of great guitar playing of course, and all the old-timers (and the youngsters too) give a good account of themselves. B.B. King, over 80 years old, is in surprisingly robust voice and plays as well as ever, though he is very overweight and played his set sitting down. But the highlight for me was Jeff Beck's incredibly imaginative and dramatic guitar playing. Though over 60 Beck has retained his youthful figure and shock of black hair, and continues to sound like a visitor from the future. Following Jeff's every twist and turn and taking her own extended solo was young Tal Wilkenfeld, an amazing talent on bass. Her solo blew me away, and it doesn't hurt that she's cute and radiates enthusiasm. It's nice to see musicians smiling instead of trying to look mean and alienated.


AWESOME
You can tell Eric is really enjoying preforming with everyone. Saw Johnny Winter the next month in Duluth. Being straight myself those 2 really out did themselves. Great Concert worth it. DEL


Good, but not quite up to previous standard
I've watched and listened quite a few times before writing my brief review. Overall, not quite up to the quality of the previous DVD. I find disc 1 has some really nice moments (B.B. King, Sonny Landreth, Albert Lee), but I find it a little weak on guitar star power. Hence, the inclusion of Willie Nelson and Sheryl Crow to try and make up for that shortcoming? I tend to hit the skip button more often on this disc. <
> <
>Disc 2 is where things really get interesting. No need to hit the skip button anymore. From John Mayer to Jeff Beck to EC himself to the incredible Steve Winwood this is a real winner. Song selection is really inspired especially the Blind Faith stuff Clapton and Winwood play together. The Clapton performance of George Harrison's Isn't It A Pity is also excellent. Winwood's Dear Mr. Fantasy might be the best ever live performance of that song and substantially improves upon the version from the Last Great Traffic Jam DVD. <
> <
>I probably would have bought the DVD for Jeff Beck alone (very hard to find any JB video performances), but it was really great seeing Clapton and Winwood playing together again and doing justice to some old material neither of them have played frequently throughout the years. As much as Blind Faith was overhyped and dissolved very quickly back in 69, truth be told the songs have endured very nicely.
