Clapton invited old friends and new for the Crossroads Guitar Festival in Chicago. Rhino Entertainment captured every angle with a two-DVD set chronicling that scorching summer day in Chicago with CROSSROADS GUITAR FESTIVAL 2007 FROM CHICAGO..

Filmed in HD, the DVDs contain four hours of legendary musicians performing alone and jamming together, along with remarkable footage taken backstage at this six-string summit. Clapton says he created the event so his friends and contemporaries could have fun and play together for a good cause. "The Crossroads Festival is the realization of a dream for me, to gather a group of amazingly talented musicians to perform onstage," he explains. "The Crossroads performers are all musicians I admire and respect."

With 38 tracks, CROSSROADS showcases a wide range of artists from rock, country, jazz, and blues including performances by jazz fusionist John McLaughlin, roots rocker Albert Lee, Chicago blues legend Hubert Sumlin, hit-making singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow, Texas bluesman Jimmie Vaughan, slide guitarist Sonny Landreth, Latin rockers Los Lobos, and country star Vince Gill.

A seminar for guitar fanatics, Clapton's set paid tribute to his close friend George Harrison with Isn't It A Pity and revisited Derek & The Dominos with Tell The Truth. Jeff Beck delivered a mind-blowing instrumental set with Big Block. The Robert Cray Band was joined by Vaughn, Sumlin and B.B. King for Sitting On Top Of The World, Rock Me Baby, and Paying The Cost To Be The Boss; while young gun John Mayer flexed his skills with Belief and Gravity.

The concert provided plenty of impressive guitar heroics with some of the world's best guitarists jamming together. Young phenom and member of The Allman Brothers Band, Derek Trucks, battled legendary bluesman Johnny Winters on slide guitar during a rollicking version of Bob Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited. Robbie Robertson made a rare stage appearance playing with Clapton on Bo Diddley's Who Do You Love. Performing together live for the first time in 25 years, Blind Faith band mates Steve Winwood and Clapton soared through a set that included Presence Of The Lord, Dear Mr. Fantasy, Had To Cry Today and Crossroads. The Chicago show ended on a fitting note with Chicago-blues icon Buddy Guy playing a set featuring him solo and leading an all-star jam on Sweet Home Chicago that included Clapton, Cray, Mayer, Sumlin, Vaughan, and Winter.
