I was so enamoured with the 2006 festival that I couldn't wait for the release of Crossroads 2007. After having watched it twice in the first 5 days I've owned it, here are my thoughts:
A couple of clunkers:
- Bill Murray's introduction and MC work, and Willie Nelson with Cheryl Crow come to mind.
Also, B.B. King could stay home next year and no one would miss him - "father time" has finally caught up to him
A couple of standouts:
- Winwood and Clapton together again revisiting five classics
- Jeff Beck was terrific, but his 22 year old female Aussie bassist steals the show
If 2006 was a "10" this one is a "8.5 - 9" for me, but it obviously will depend on your taste in music.
