Crossroads Guitar Festival 07 on PBS

Amazing concert footage of many great guitar players at a live benefit put on by Clapton.
Anyone else see the show?

my favorite was Jeff Beck. His bass player does an amazing duet on this song:

1. I saw it on our local PBS last week

I've always loved Jeff Beck :-). I wonder if the bass player was his daughter! Thanks for the link, too.

It made me cry to see Johnny Winter.....but he still rocks.

2. Tal Wilkenfeld - not Beck's daughter, but she ROCKS!

She's from Australia, age 21, and plays the shite outta the bass!!

3. The bass player is Tal Wilkenfeld, she is a 21 year old phenom from Australia

not hard on the eyes, either. Amazing player.

5. Phenom is right!

It would be great if they were touring. I'd go in a minute :-). One of my best concerts of all time was Jeff Beck playing in a little theater in downtown Pgh in 1972. I was in the front row :-).

6. I had a brain fart on her name.

Wilkenfeld, not Wilkenborn. DUH!

She's pretty damn amazing.

8. You Tube has a bunch of clips from Crossroads 07. I was saddened to see Johnny Winter too

Here's that clip. Still love him and he still plays a mean guitar!

9. They all get old, don't they? The show was great, though

Certain excellent players were new to me, like Sonny Landreth.

I still haven't seen the last half hour; I couldn't stay awake that long!
