Over the course of his more than 50-year career, guitar legend Eric Clapton has covered an immense amount of ground. Along with dozens of album releases and concerts worldwide, heās received three Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductions ā one for his solo career and two more as a member of both Cream and the Yardbirds. Heās also earned an unofficial spot high on the list of best rock guitarists of all time.
Though his eponymous solo debut surfaced in 1970, Claptonās solo career took off in the mid-ā70s with ā461 Ocean Boulevardā and its now-ubiquitous single, āI Shot the Sheriff.ā The English performer has since released 19 more solo sets, most recently āOld Sock.ā That 13-track collection features mostly covers, as well as guest appearances by several established musicians, including J.J. Cale, Paul McCartney, Chaka Khan and Steve Winwood.
Claptonās numerous tours - both alone and with his many projects ā have canvased the globe, with tickets selling out regularly at iconic venues like Londonās Royal Albert Hall and New York Cityās Madison Square Garden.
The venue set up inside and out was great. Entry and reentry went so smooth. The sound was great. Musicians were outstanding. My only negative was the selection and prices of the beverages, alcoholic and non-alcoholic.
what a fantastic event. The show of a lifetime. only regret was not having better seats.
Amazing 2-day event of superstars, unrecognized superior blues/rock and jazz guitarists and other instrumentalists/singers and newcomers to watch for in the future. Clapton, Santana and McLaughlin closed it out with a set I'll never forget!
Not only was the music beyond my expectations but the set-up style worked well. There are so many variables with events this size, they did a great job at set ups! KUDOS to the crew!! Some disappointments in the changes that had to happen, no Buddy Guy, but the show most certainly went on!! So much respect between all theses blessed gifted people, thank you!! Lots of baton passing is happening, so bitter sweet, yet exciting to see! The sets on the side while changes happened, perfect! Thank you for a humbling experience!! WELL DONE!!!š
It was my the best two days , ihave been seeing the cream of the best musicians inwhole word these two past days. Thank you soo much Eric ,!!!! See you in the next Crossroads guitar festivsl. God bless youš¶š
Both days epic beyond belief!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The line-up and performances were awesome, however, the sound team did not always have the mikes turned up on the correct musician that was either singing or soloing.
A once in a lifetime experience! Talent that was off the charts!
It would take too long to write about my experience! Needless to say, I was blown away by just about all the performers! From Sonny Landreth to Carlos Santana, just incredible!
I was looking forward to seeing Eric Clapton (my first time) and I was not disappointed. The line up on Sunday was "off the charts."I was beyond thrilled to see that Santana was on the list. I loved the "surprise guests"too (John Mayer, Stevie Wonder, Jon Bonamassa, Stephen Stills). The event was well organized. Bill Murray was the perfect emcee. More food vendors (with healthier choices) would have been nice. It was a perfect day, filled with the most awesome musical artists. THANK YOU ERIC CLAPTON FOR HOSTING THIS EVENT!!!!
This was my 3rd Crossroads and without a doubt it was the best. Bring it back to my home town of Chicago and the blues people will make it even greater. JIMSKI
Iām glad I got to see Eric Clapton (probably for the last time) at crypto.com arena. The show was magical, albeit a little long. I stuck around to the end and got to see Clapton perform with Stevie Wonder and Santana. Amazing!
I've wanted to attend one of these Crossroad Guitar Festival benefits for several years. I almost attended the Austin show in 2019 but something came up. I was thrilled to see the event was being held in my state this time. The show was everything and more than I expected. The live music in the outdoor festival area was excellent. The main event, which was slated to run from 4pm-10pm ended up running till after 1am. There were 4-5 song sets by the top headliners, too numerous to mention, which was just right, with a lot of surprise guests joining in on their sets. Eric Clapton came out around 11pm and played a nice long set with a couple of surprises including Stephen Stills playing with Clapton on Stills early single, "Love the One Your With". Then we got a robust set from Carlos Santana and his entire excellent band along with Clapton jamming and singing on a few songs including "Black Magic Woman". Fantastic night of music. If you ever get the opportunity...go
The event was well placed, well organized and was simply AMAZING!! Interacting with musicians during the day and watching stunning performances and collaborations AND for a good cause made the weekend a āone-of-a-kind, once-in-a-lifetimeā experience. The memories are vivid and have been shared over and over.
This event was once in a lifetime, experience and opportunity for those of us that were lucky enough to attend and watch some of the greatest guitar players on the planet. I am grateful that Eric decided to bring the crossroads festival to Los Angeles and hope that it will be there many years to come
This was an absolutely amazing experience!!! I truly wish I could have gone to both days!! The talent was insane & the entire event was incredible everything was perfectly set up!!! Thank you Eric!!
Eric Clapton, Santana, Stevie Wonder, Stephen Stills! What a concert!
Non stop blues and rock legends (Classic and new) and an absolutely amazing line up. Marcus King blew the roof off the place. Eric Gales, and H.E.R were so amazing. It just kept coming.Los Lobos, Jimmy Vaughn, Sherly Crow, Taj Mahal! EC is an absolute master,of course. And then after hours and hours, Santana and his band. Ill never forget it. Great seats too!
I expect Eric Clapton to excel on guitar and he certainly doesn't disappoint there. He's still got it. What surprised me is that he is in better voice than I've heard him in a very long time. I especially enjoyed his vocals on blues songs like Nobody Loves You When You're Down and Out. His age lends a certain legitimacy to performance. Finally, you can still see him lost in another world while he plays his guitar but the best part is how truly he delighted he in the brilliance of the other musicians around him - Andy Fairweather Low and Jimmie Vaughn, in particular. So happy to have traveled to see him. EC was here.
First time going to a festival. had an awesome time!
