5.0 out of 5 stars WOW! A lot of you missed the point., August 19, 2010

This review is from: CROSSROADS GUITAR FESTIVAL 2010 (DVD)

I was at the Crossroads 2010 show and eagerly awaited the theatrical release. The first thing you have to realize is that nothing, not a 2 hour movie or a 4 hour DVD will capture what it was like to have actually seen some of the brilliant performances of that day. The editing was shaky at best but the sound was quite good (I'm sure the sound varied greatly depending on the theater). Although I was dissapointed in the movie, I'd see it again and here's why. The movie missed a lot of the high points of the 11 hour show, but it caught enough to remind me of how great the entire experience had been, and that's all I asked for. I was pleasently surprised at the applause in the theater after some of the better performances. The most dissapointing thing about the movie was the performances that weren't included. John Mayer, Buddy Guy, and Jeff Beck all played sets that deserved complete coverage (and I would pay money to buy a DVD). "Going Down", "Killing Floor", "La Grange", "Mystery Train", and "Comin' Home" were all songs I was sad didn't make the cut. And although he didn't add a whole lot musically, Bill Murray's intro's were hysterical. Addressing a negative critism: I don't know what a "I-IV-V progression in G with a capo" is, but I could watch Robert Randolph, Jimmie Vaughn, and Hubert Sumlin play it all day!(I've seen a lot of pictures of Muddy Waters with a capo and I heard he's pretty good!). I'm quite sure the DVD will capture more of the esscence of the complete concert, but, as we all know, that's impossible.

5.0 out of 5 stars This review is to counterbalance angry idiots like the first reviewer, who gave the DVD he hasn't seen 1 star, July 30, 2010

I love when people rate a DVD that they haven't seen because it hasn't been released it yet. I especially like it when they are actually just getting some anger out and venting to the unwitting amazonian world. And I love it when they sound pretentious about guitar playing and don't seem to like or appreciate the blues (which Clapton and many of his invitees seem to love). But best of all about this person's emotional outburst: they watched only 30 minutes of a 2 hour theatrical release (which I would give 3.5 stars because the second half was very good), which is only 1/8 of the four-hour (as yet unreleased) DVD/Blu-ray of the film. I love people that do this SO much that I decided I had to get into the action--at the very least to offset the maroon (as Bugs Bunny would say) that fits the aforementioned descriptions.

A lot of people seemed to think the film was pretty good--so I'm interested to see the other 87.5% of the performances when the DVD actually comes out.

I have both of the previous DVDs of the Crossroads festivals, 2004 and 2007, I have played guitar for almost 15 years, I have been in the music business in one way or another for over 40 years. These are some of the best live music videos I have ever seen, especially the 2007 one, the songs Jeff Beck does are worth the price of admission alone. His technique is unmatched. I have pre-ordered the 2010 DVD just to see Jeff Beck again, but I know there will be more jems inside waiting to be enjoyed. The guy who gave it a one star is probably a guitar snob, I've had to deal with them over the years, not everybody who's good gets famous and makes a lot of money, in fact almost nobody gets famous and makes a lot money, especially people who are only trying to do just that. So buy this DVD, enjoy it, buy a guitar, practice and have fun, there is nothing wrong with playing a 1,4,5 progression 'till the day you die! It's a blast!
