El Crossroads Guitar Festival son una serie de festivales de música y conciertos benéficos organizados por Eric Clapton. Los festivales se celebran a beneficio del Crossroads Centre, un centro de tratamiento de drogas en Antigua, Antigua y Barbuda fundado por el propio Clapton. Estos conciertos cuentan cada año con una gran variedad de guitarristas, seleccionados por Clapton personalmente entre algunos de los guitarristas más importantes de los últimos años como Steve Vai, Jeff Beck, B.B. King, Keith Richards, etc.
Crossroads Guitar Festival
El festival en 2007, con Eric Clapton (izquierda) y Bill Murray (derecha)
En 2004 los hitos del festival fueron las interpretaciones de “Sweet Home Chicago”, de Robert Johnson, interpretada por Robert Cray, Hubert Sumlin, Eric Clapton, Jimmie Vaughan y Buddy Guy,[2] en la que los cinco bluesman se implicaron plenamente. “Rock Me Baby”, en el que Clapton, B. B. King, Buddy Guy y Jimmie Vaughan comparten escenario como si hubieran tocado juntos toda la vida. “I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow“ y “Road To Nash Vegas” temas acústicos de Dan Tyminski y Ron Block. Eric Clapton y J.J. Cale, tocaron con gran complicidad “After Midnight” y “Call Me The Breeze”. “I Shot The Sheriff”. Y para cerrar el telón, “La Grange" de los tejanos ZZ Top.
Cotton Bowl stadium en Dallas, Texas, del 4 al 6 de junio de 2004. Se grabó un doble DVD con 250 minutos de los conciertos.[1]
