Guitar Heroics Captured On Clapton's 'Crossroads' DVD

Comments

Eric Clapton's second Crossroads Guitar Festival will be immortalized on DVD Nov. 20 via Rhino, Billboard.com has learned. The double-DVD set features 38 tracks from the July 28, 2007, show outside Chicago, with performances from Clapton, Jeff Beck, Sheryl Crow, Buddy Guy, B.B. King, Steve Winwood and Willie Nelson, among many others.

Among the highlights of "Crossroads" are a rare on-stage collaboration between former Blind Faith mates Clapton and Winwood, Clapton dusting off material from Derek and the Dominos plus covering George Harrison's "Isn't It a Pity" and an uncommon live appearance from the Band's Robbie Robertson with Clapton on Bo Diddley's "Who Do You Love."

The package wraps with Buddy Guy's "Sweet Home Chicago," featuring guest turns from Clapton, Robert Cray, John Mayer, Hubert Sumlin, Jimmie Vaughan and Johnny Winter.

Clapton is gearing up for the Oct. 9 release of his autobiography, atply titled "Clapton -- The Autobiography," and the two-CD retrospective "Complete Clapton" (Warner Bros.). The artist will appear during release week on NBC's "Today," CNN's "Larry King Live" and NPR's "All Things Considered."
