Paul's rendition of Joe Cocker's High Time We Went is astonishing!



Special mention of Chris Stainton, for the most unbelievable face-melting-keyboard-wizardry choruses on the blues tune Little Queen of Spades.

...and Doyle Bramhall II, for the most astounding blues solos he plays - not to mention Eric's blistering outro solo in D.

I've noticed that during the most recent shows Eric didn't sang the second verse to leave enough room for Doyle to perform his solo.

Agreed - and what a fine tuned rhythm section with Jordan/Weeks.

Willie looks very much like Marcus Miller with his hat.

The solo EC played there is very reminiscent of the performance he did during the first Crossroads Guitarfest in June 2004.

The 4th Guitarfest begins tomorrow and according to official sources Clapton is scheduled to perform an all-acoustic jam with the Allman Brothers.

I know few of his songs but I'm not his fan.

Finally the acoustic set was done with Andy Fairweather-Low and Vince Gill.



Clapton did a guest appearance with Allman Brothers. The result is a blistering rendition of the Dominoes classic Why Does Love Have To Be So Sad?



As always, the blues is still present in this 4th Guitarfest with the same bluesmen who performed at the 3rd festival three years ago - except The Thrill Is Gone has been replaced by Everyday I Have The Blues.
