7 Sep 04

More than four hours of footage from Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival will be included in a two-disc DVD set on 9 November 2004 (moved from 19 October) for the United States by Duck / Reprise / Warner Strategic Marketing. It will also be released in the UK, Europe and Australia later in November. Release dates for the rest of the world are pending

Clapton is featured throughout in combination with such guitar luminaries as B.B. King, Jeff Beck, Hubert Sumlin, Carlos Santana and J.J. Cale. It will also include performances by Larry Carlton, Pat Metheny, Joe Walsh, Vince Gill, ZZ Top, Robert Randolph & the Family Band, Dan Tyminski, James Taylor, John Mayer and many more. The set will also feature artist interviews and a photo gallery. The three day event in Dallas, Texas culminated in a day-long all star concert in the Cotton Bowl on 6 June 2004.

The festival was a benefit for Crossroads Centre Antigua, a non-profit addiction recovery facility founded by Eric Clapton in 1997. Royalties from the sale of the DVD will benefit the Centre. Highlights from "Crossroads Festival" will air 1 December in the United States on "Great Performances" on PBS.
