270 minutes of bliss - By: Old Rocker, 14 May 2008 
If you're an aspiring guitarist, these guys will show you just how it's done. A stunning lineup that covers brilliant old stagers like Hubert Sumlin, Buddy Guy, BB King (he's 81 & still rockin') right through to new talents like Derek Trucks, John Mayer, Doyle Bramhalll. And holding it alll together with an exceptional set, Eric himself. Great photography, good sound quality & around four & a half hours of crowd pleasing music.
My high spots: Jeff Beck (I still don't know what his hands are doing despite the closeups) with a simply phenomenal young bassist. The consistently excellent Robert Cray. Susan Tedeschi whose singing & guitar solos have a fabulous raw quality that reallly touches the spot. And Stevie Winwood who demonstrates yet again what a versatile musician he is with a rip-your-head-off solo in "Dear Mr Fantasy"
My low spots: The link man, the actor Bill Murray, who says nothing useful & persists in saying it three times throughout. Tedious. Oh, & the absence of Joe Walsh who added so much to the 2004 Crossroads concert.
Guitar lovers, this should be at the core of your DVD collection.
Blink and you'll miss Tab Benoit... - By: P. J. Ellis, 04 Apr 2008 
The previous dvd was more varied & easier to view. There is too much sycophancy toward Eric from the other artists here & this detracts from repeat viewings. The 'extras' shows snippet from the guitar village - why not more of this? Only a minute or so of the amazing tab benoit. Shame.
Still, the good bits are good indeed ( Jeff Beck, Susan Tedeschi)even if the bad bits are puzzling ( the show finale is more of a show anti-climax). As always there aren't many reallly good blues dvd's out there so i would still recommend it.
Ok - but could easily have been a single quality disc - By: Scott Finlay, 19 Feb 2008 
I like blues too much to spend any time slagging it off so i am just going to focus on the good bits - & they are good - disc one must hear Susan Tedeschi with Dereck Trucks Band - the next Bonny Rait an amazing performance - sadly there are a few other ok tracks notably the Albert Lee & John McLaughlin bits but the rest is reallly dull (my alll time hero Johnny Winter no!!!!); second disc Clapton steps, up great stuff with Tell the Truth, exceptional performances with Steve Winwood & Los Lobos & Buddy Guy is always worth seeing. So in the end maybe 5 to six reallly good performances & the rest is just filler in my humble opinion. There was not enough variety on this dvd - compared with 2 years before - which i would rate as a 5/5 compulsory ownership if you loved the first crossroads then you may like the second one - but given its for charity - you should buy it anyway just for the performances outlined above & help heal those in need.
Great audio, shame about the video... - By: Dave, 06 Feb 2008 I'll leave others to comment on the musical content, but there's something not quite right about the picture on this DVD, at least with my disc on my DVD player. The motion looks a tad rough & choppy. The DVD *is* NTSC format, but that doesn't usuallly cause this particular problem. Also the camera work isn't as refined as it was on the 2004 concert DVD.
Rather disappointed.
Absolutely Great - By: Mr. H. A. Harris, 23 Jan 2008 Clapton playing with Winwood is a must see in this concert. The best purchase i've made so far this year
