Movie Reviews of Crossroads: Eric Clapton Guitar Festival 2007
Movie Review: Wish I was there!
Summary: 5 Stars
Watched the whole thing last night. Over 4 hours long and I wish they could have added another 2 DVD's. The actual concert lasted 12 hours. Winwood & Clapton back togather! Hello Blind Faith - perfect.
Wide screen, great audio and video - I sure like modern tech!
The concert starts out at pretty mello and picks up steam & kicks some serious ass on the second DVD. Jazz, Blues, Country & Rock. It's all there, by a bunch of great peeps. I rate Crossroads 2007 as high as David Gilmour's new DVD. Two of the best in 2007.
I just wish as many others have complained, Jeff Beck's entire set should have been included on the DVD.
What a set list.
Movie Review: A VIEW OF THE MASTER AND FRIENDS
Summary: 5 Stars
this is a wonderful, rare glimpse at the undisputed living master of the electric blues with his friends and fellow musicians. watch clapton's face as some of the young phenoms (like derrick trucks) play. the air of self-confidence born of years of playing is unmistakeable. he has no need to one-up them, and gives them plenty of space on his stage. how often can you see this kind of assemblage on stage, all playing in one day? this is a gem. sure, some slow spots and faults, but i defy anybody to come up with a better compilation of modern blues musicians. and the sound quality is terrific. if you have a good sound system with your t.v., turn it up and enjoy. it doesn't get any better than this.Movie Review: ENJOY THE CONCERT, BUT DON'T FIGHT THE CROWD
Summary: 5 Stars
One thing that I enjoy most in my life is listening to and watching musical artists, but I also hate concert crowds. Without dwelling on this any further I'll sum up my situation as I don't go to musical concerts because I hate the crowds but I still love the music (my taste in music is varied: it can be classical, bluegrass, blues, folk, rock, flamenco. . . ).
This set of DVDs: "Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival" is the best of both worlds for me. I can now watch and listen to hours of guitar masters without having to put up with the crowd BS.
If Eric Clapton has a Crossroads Guitar Festival 2008 this summer I'll buy the DVDs from it when they become available.
Movie Review: I Wasn't Disappointed
Summary: 5 Stars
Ok guys. Unlike a lot of these reviewers, I wasn't there. I didn't know anything about Jeff Beck and the Beatles "A Day In The Life". But I do know that Cheryl Crow was probably there because she and Clapton had a thing going on a few years ago. Other than that, this is a great DVD.
To me there are two performances worth the cost of admission. The brief glimpse of Tal Wilkenfeld, Jeff Beck's bassist on "Cause We've Ended As Lovers" and Steve Winwood doing anything, but especially "Dear Mr. Fantasy" and with Clapton on "Had To Cry Today".
If you love to watch great guitarists doing what they do best, buy this DVD. You won't be disappointed
Movie Review: Why Complain
Summary: 5 Stars
While some complain that this isn't the best concert ever, I agree, and it wasn't meant to be. It is something that should have been done years ago with all of the talent involved. Not much is made of the Derek Trucks play and if you want to see the reincarnation of Duane Allman, Derek Trucks is as close as you are going to get. Being raised in Macon, Ga and getting to listen to Duane early on, Derek is playing slide about as good as anyone can. As for the other performers, I only wish they had gotten on the stage together 20 years ago. If you love watching guitarists and how they play, this is as good as it gets. The closeups are absolutely phenomenal.
