Pat Donnelly Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 In the summer of 2004, a spectacular gathering of musicians from across the guitar world performed together on one concert stage, as the culminating event of Eric Clapton's three-day Crossroads Guitar Festival in Dallas. GREAT PERFORMANCES presents highlights from the all-day concert at the Cotton Bowl featuring a once-in-a-lifetime showcase of guitar luminaries performing rock anthems, blues classics, and jazz improvisations. Joining Clapton are fellow axe legends Carlos Santana, Joe Walsh, and J. J. Cale; bluesmen Robert Cray, Buddy Guy, B. B. King, Hubert Sumlin, and Jimmie Vaughan; Pat Metheny and John McLaughlin from the jazz world; as well as James Taylor, country superstar Vince Gill, bluegrass player Dan Tyminski from Allison Krauss' band Union Station, and young star John Mayer. Highlights include renditions of classics like "After Midnight" and "Layla," as well as recent hits like Mayer's "City Love." Watch for the launch of the Web companion on Monday, November 29, 2004.
