Show Notes:
This concert served as a fundraiser for Crossroads Centre Antigua, a drugs / alchohol rehabilitation clinic founded by Eric Clapton. It took place 6 days after Eric Clapton’s first guitar auction with Christie’s (24 June 1999).
The concert ran a little over three hours. Eric Clapton & His Band served as the “house band” throughout. Filmed for home video release and for television broadcast. For television, it was edited to 1 hour 40 minutes prior to airing. It aired on VH1 in America for the first time on 17 July 1999. "Eric Clapton & Friends In Concert: A Benefit For The Crossroads Centre At Antigua" was released later in 1999 on VHS and in subsequent years on DVD. The home release version runs 108 minutes. A recording of the concert was not officially issued on CD.
