The second staging of guitar hero and rock legend Eric Clapton's CROSSROADS GUITAR FESTIVAL found a sweet home in the Second City on July 28, 2007 when many of the world's greatest guitarists convened for a concert benefiting Clapton's Crossroads Centre rehabilitation facility in Antigua. Filmed live at Chicago's Toyota Park, the 2-DVD set CROSSROADS GUITAR FESTIVAL 2007 FROM CHICAGO presents four hours of world-class guitar masters, spanning multiple genre boundaries, performing incendiary solo sets and jamming in unison.   

 Shot in HD, the double-DVD set features 38 tracks, and also gives viewers an all-access pass with extraordinary behind-the-scenes footage captured backstage at this all-star, six-string summit. The audio is presented in 5.1 Surround Sound. 

  

 Clapton's original vision for the event - which was first staged at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas in 2004 - was to invite some friends around so they could have fun playing together for a good cause. “The Crossroads Festival,” he says, is the realization of a dream for me, to gather a group of amazingly talented musicians to perform onstage. The Crossroads performers are all musicians I admire and respect.” 

  

 The 2007 festival, which Rolling Stone called “a marathon of solos and joy,” no doubt was the stuff of dreams for the fans in attendance as well as for Clapton and friends. The Festival featured a multi-generational array of talent spanning John Mayer to Jeff Beck to B.B. King that Modern Guitars Magazine dubbed an “incredible nexus of old-school electric guitar titans and younger upstarts.” 

  

 Highlights of the CROSSROADS GUITAR FESTIVAL 2007 FROM CHICAGO include Clapton playing onstage with former Blind Faith band mate Steve Winwood for the first time in 25 years. They rip through classics including “Presence Of The Lord,” “Had To Cry Today” and “Crossroads,” totally transcending their quarter century apart. Another Clapton highpoint was his dedication of “Isn't It A Pity” to George Harrison, noting, “This is for someone I wish was here.” The Allman Brothers Band's Derek Trucks joined in on a solo, and David Fricke noted in Rolling Stone that, “on a day full of extraordinary solos, this was true rapture.” When later describing rock icon Jeff Beck's virtuoso, take-no-prisoners set, the veteran rock journalist called it, “a near-hour of instrumental fusion napalm.” 

  

 Other peak moments include a rare concert appearance by Robbie Robertson - performing “Who Do You Love” with Clapton - B.B. King cooking with The Robert Cray Band with Jimmie Vaughan & Hubert Sumlin on numbers including “Paying The Cost To Be The Boss,” Albert Lee and Vince Gill's dual warp-speed picking and numbers with Willie Nelson and Sheryl Crow, and Chicago blues icon Buddy Guy leading a show-closing all-star jam on “Sweet Home Chicago.” 

  

 CROSSROADS' wealth of music also showcases great moments with a wide range of artists including John Mayer, Sonny Landreth, John McLaughlin, Los Lobos, Johnny Winters, Susan Tedeschi and more. 

  

 CROSSROADS GUITAR FESTIVAL 2007 FROM CHICAGO follows up the 2-DVD set Crossroads Guitar Festival, filmed at the inaugural '04 concert. That title has been certified platinum eight times and is on its way to becoming one of the world's all-time top-selling music DVDs. It continues to raise generous funds for the Crossroads Centre. Royalties from the sale of CROSSROADS GUITAR FESTIVAL 2007 FROM CHICAGO will also benefit Crossroads Centre, Antigua.
