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, he’s received three Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductions — one for his solo career and two more as a member of both Cream and the Yardbirds. He’s also earned an unofficial spot high on the list of best rock guitarists of all time.
Though his eponymous solo debut surfaced in 1970, Clapton’s solo career took off in the mid-‘70s with “461 Ocean Boulevard” and its now-ubiquitous single, “I Shot the Sheriff.” The English performer has since released 19 more solo sets, most recently “Old Sock.” 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.
Clapton’s numerous tours - both alone and with his many projects — have canvased the globe, with tickets selling out regularly at iconic venues like London’s Royal Albert Hall and New York City’s Madison Square Garden.
Great Sound and Great Performance from Clapton St. louis, Crossroads, Royal Albert Hall and now looking forward to Palms Springs CA
Clapton has not lost it nor will he’s a classic musician!
Overall both nights where amazing! But the sound quality was not all that good for most of the show. The Band War on Drugs had a different engineer and used a 7th mixer all the way to the back and the place JUST ROCKED!!! When they where done It was back to the old sound. That was very disappointing because it was obvious that the Sound could have been much better after seeing War on Drugs. Again over all was an awesome show both nights and the festival area outside and stage was awesome I really enjoyed it music All day and night both Saturday and Sunday
We attended the Sunday show. The outdoor acts were great, not over crowded, you could get right to the stage if so desired. The guitar collection was fantastic. The show it self was amazing. Every artist performed very well and all seemed to enjoy themselves. I personally enjoyed Eric Clapton, Santana, Robert Randolph and Marcus King. It was also a great surprise to see Stevie Wonder take the stage. Crypto arena was great. We had premier seating and could come and go to the concessions with ease. Food prices were within reason but the beer prices were way out of control. We’ve been trying to see Crossroads for years and very glad we made the trip. We look forward to hopefully seeing another show in the future.
We only had enough money for one day, so we chose Sunday. Our costs included round trip airfare and hotel for 2 nights as well as the tickets. I will be paying for it for a bit but it was so totally worth it. The artists were amazing! The sets were perfect. The surprise artists were a plus. We were blown away and are hoping Eric Clapton does this again!
I'm so glad I caught this concert, always wanted to see Clapton and I was not disappointed, Jimmie Vaughan was an amazing opener, rip SRV.
It's something you have to experience for yourself.
Another incredible show from Clapton. Great musicians with him, great song list, lots of great jams. The only complaint is one we all have for the superstars - he could have played another four hours and we still would not have heard all of his great music.
Phenomenal experience --- the best guitarists in the world united together to perform. Non-stop music. All genres represented. Fun Fun Fun. Wonder exhibits and displays of guitars by Guitar Center. Great bands performing on the Outside stage. So glad we attended and hope that there is another Crossroads Guitar Festival in the future.
I would have preferred more involvement and participation by Eric Clapton in the performances. Parking was good, the venue was good, nearly all of the artists invited to the Crossroads concert were good, very good, or amazingly good. I've been a fan of Eric Clapton since I was 16 years old, shortly after Fresh Cream was released. This was the first time that I have the opportunity and funds to go to an event featuring him and would have very much appreciated hearing and seeing him on stage much more than he was there at the concert.
