Went to the Crossroads Guitar Festival yesterday. I know there are some guitar pickers here and let me tell you, this was an unbelievable event of 12+ hours of pure hair on end guitar picking. Still trying to digest/re cooperate from yesterday but must tell you guys it was awesome, well worth missing a great weather day for riding.
The day started by fighting traffic to get there of course but getting in just before noon to Sonny Landreth and with Eric Clapton joining in. Then as best I can remember in no particular order, Vince Gill with Sheryl Crow joining in on Delila, ZZ Top playing rough and tumble not the basic MTV stuff, John Mayer did the same staying away from his popular stuff showing his talents, Johny Lang, Buddy Guy and Ron Wood put on an increadable set of lead guitar performances, Jeff Beck with kind of a strange set including "somewhere on top of a rainbow" and a great version of "rollin and tumbling" with his new bass player, Stevie Windwood with Eric Clapton playing "Blind Faith, Traffic" music and then my favorite a 15 minuet version of "Voodoo Child" ,of course BB King was joined the Eric Clapton and Robert Cray to play BB Kings humorous set, then everyone of course played and sang "Sweet Home Chicago"
I know I missed a lot of what went on...........I am still in awe
