The Crossroads Guitar Fest was broadcast on MSN http://music.msn.com/crossroads, it was re-broadcast all of yesterday and I think it still is going on now.

i've been watchin some of it here and there... some good performers

that was post 5000 in The Fender Lounge guys.... keep it going!

I've been catching some of it. Maybe I'll catch a re-broadcast of the whole thing eventually.

I have been watching it here and there as I get the time. I hope they put this one out on DVE too. There have been some amazing performances.

The 4th CGF will take place at MSG NYC in April 12/13, 2013.

Ok, cool! I went to the very first one in Dallas, and I really feel the others could not compare to that first one.

Which one is it? Our local Hastings has all three on DVD. I have 2010 on DVD but it is starting to develope some weird kind of laser groove in it from being played so much.

The one from 2004, Eric Clapton: Crossroads Guitar Festivalhttp://tinyurl.com/9lshdgt. I don't mean that the DVD content itself is better, but that I attended the first one in person at Dallas.

The Dallas guitar show was held at the same time, this was really an event.


Me and Shane Nicholas, Fender's Sr Marketing Mgr at Dallas.

Of course. They waited until I moved out of New York City to do that. Wonder if playing havoc with the summer heat for 3 events had anything to do with it?

No, I think his idea was to stage it in different areas. Buddy asked him about using the the new soccer arena in Chicago to help with the blues museum.

The Dallas show was two years in the planning. I found out about it and booked our room a year in advance. We were right downtown and had breakfast at the Main St Cafe





It was only $5!

Camera's weren't allowed, but I got a few from the first night


Honeyboy!
