I finally got all the way through this double DVD set from Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival.

Featuring:
Bill Murray as emcee
Eric Clapton playing host & guitar (with just about everybody)
Steve Winwood
Sonny Landreth
John McLaughlin
Doyle Bramhall II
Susan Tedeschi
The Derek Trucks Band
Johnny Winter
Robert Randolph & the Family Band
Robert Cray Band
Jimmie Vaughan
Hubert Sumlin
B.B. King
Vince Gill
Albert Lee
Sheryl Crow
Willie Nelson
