Product Description
Feature nearly five hours of music across 45 tracks, plus conversations with the artists and other behind-the-scenes footage from this all-star concert. In addition to rousing performances of blues classics and renowned hit songs, many of the most memorable performances saw artists coming together for some stirring collaborations. Among the highlights were the surprise pairing of John Mayer and Keith Urban for the Beatles' "Don't Let Me Down," Vince Gill and Clapton taking on "Lay Down Sally," Keb Mo and Taj Mahal covering the Sleepy John Estes' song, "Diving Duck Blues," Gill performing "Tumbling Dice" with Urban and Albert Lee and members of the Allman Brothers - Gregg Allman, Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks joined forces for a haunting acoustic cover of Neil Young's "The Needle and the Damage Done".

The second disc of this 2 day event actually runs about 2 ½ hours and has some of some of the best guitar based blues-rock you will ever hear. Many of the musicians that are on the first disc reappear here and from what I can tell, are still part of the set list suggested in disc 1. I think the creators of the discs just wanted to keep the song selections short and create more interest in who's coming on next. It works, and I don't care but I sure am glad there is this second disc. For example, Gary Clark, Jr. returns with Doyle Bramhall II for "When My Train Pulls In," a blistering piece of music with both guitarists hard at work. Taj Mahal shows up for the first time with Keb' Mo'. Los Lobos also appear for the first time and get a little help from Robert Cray and Clapton. And if you are wondering if Clapton gets in on some real action rather than just some guest pickin', the answer is hell yes. He is featured on the 6 songs beginning with a duet with Keith Richards, and yes he's still got it. Even the closing number which features the ensemble and seemingly hundreds of guitars comes off well, with each of the featured artists getting a few riffs in on "High Time We Went." What a great package this is.
The Blu ray package comes with a 1080p resolution and has a 1.78:1 aspect ratio. The detail looks fine along with color and contrast. Skin tones are very good and there are numerous close-ups where blemishes and hair are easily distinguishable. I did notice several shots seemed to go in and out of focus. I suspect this is more a problem with the cameramen or editing than the quality of the transfer. A minor annoyance. The audio has a couple options. One is a linear PCM stereo track and the other is a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1. I stuck with the surround option for most of the concert, but did listen a bit to the stereo as well. Both sounded great, but for me the surround offered a more spacious feel. This concert should be played loud and everything worked and sounded as I expected. There are no extras.
First, to get one thing out of the way: The sync between the audio and video was way off, something like 125 ms. It took me about 20 minutes to get it fixed, came very close to sending it back. That is my only complaint.
Things I loved:
-The production values (audio and video) were at the highest level, probably one of the best shot and edited live concerts. The camera angles, composition and editing were incredibly good at capturing the what was going on on stage, in particular the interaction between these great musicians. The quality of the video was flawless. WOW! The sound mix was also very well done. The 5.1 DTS gave the mixers plenty of soundstage to place the players without it sounding like a gimmick.
- Derek Trucks just keeps getting better. Clapton is a great bandmate to all who share his stage, but you can see his jaw drop several times when he was watching Trucks play
-Very nice to see Clapton give Andy Fairweather Low some spotlight
-Booker T looked like he was having the time of his life. The band sounded great.
-Mayer and Urban were great together. They have staying power, maybe they'll be hosting this 20 years from now?
-The Almann Bros Band sounded as good as ever. Very good version of Why Does Love Got to Be So Sad and Greg seems to be in good health and fine voice. (Needle and Damage Done and Midnight Rider)
-Robert Cray singing was over the top. His best ever
-Vince Gill, Albert Lee and Keith Urban ++++++, impressive to see Urban keep up with these guys on guitar
-Keb Mo and Taj Mahal, classy acoustic blues. A great segment that added depth and variety to the concert

The Blu-ray will not provide every minute of both nights. I wish it would. But we did attend the one night movie theater performance and found that the editors caught the very best performances from Saturday night. I'm sure the same was true from Friday. While the Blu-ray can't be as good as being there, it is the next best thing. Check out the list of performers. We have found that Crossroads has opened our appreciation of music and artists from styles of music that we had previously ignored. As a music lover, I can say that this should be on your shelf -- in fact, you really ought to buy the Blu-rays/dvd's from the prior concerts to have a complete collection. I pre-ordered this as soon as it became available and can't wait to receive it.
Don't miss this. Plus, proceeds from this help support Crossroads in the fight against chemical addiction.

とても良いです。! !
Dieses Konzert musste sich mit einer hohen Messlatte anlegen. Dazu gehören alle vorherigen Crossroads Festivals und aber auch Konzerte z.B. von den Eagles.
ZUM INHALT
Ich kann dieses Konzert sowie die Aufnahmen von allen vorherigen uneingeschränkt empfehlen die auf "richtige Musik" stehen. Nicht jeder Auftritt trifft 100 % mein Geschmack, aber durch die vielseitige Playlist ist fast für jeden was dabei. Durch diese Konzerte (auch auch dieses hier aus 2013) bin ich wieder auf viele Künstler aufmerksam geworden, von denen ich mir zukünftig die ein oder anderen Alben anhören werde. Die Performance der Künstler steht hier außer Frage. Von alt eingesessenen Hasen bis zu jungen Nachkömmlinge ist hier auch alles vertreten. Zum nebenbei laufen lassen und auch intensiv ansehen ist es ein Genuss. Man erkennt auch denn tatsächlichen Spaß an der Musik von den Künstlern selbst, hier ist nichts aufgesetzt oder gespielt. Wer Gitarren, Blues, Rock, Jazz oder irgendwas in der Richtung mag wird dieses Festival lieben.
ZUR TECHNIK
Erschrocken las ich, dass andere Kunden Probleme mit dem Abspielen der Discs haben. Dazu gehöre ich nicht. Die Betroffenen sollten sich über die Gewährleistung Ersatz beschaffen. Das Bild ist so gut wie ich es von einer Live-Aufnahme hallen kann. Absolut scharf und ruckelfrei. Natürlich kann ich das hier nicht mit einem Film vergleichen, wo die Szene 10 Mal gedreht worden ist. Das ist hier ja auch live. Und der Schnitt ist auch wirklich gut, keine komischen Ausschnitte oder unangenehme Wechsel. Ganz im Gegenteil.
Audio-technisch kann ich hier ebenfalls nur volle Punktzahl geben, alle Tonspuren sind angenehm abgemischt und absolut synchron. Am meisten Spaß macht natürlich die DTS lossless auf entsprechenden Geräten. Technisch ebenfalls ein Genuss, wo man auch gerne mal etwas lauter macht :)
Allgemein möchte ich noch erinnern, dass die Gewinne durch den Kauf an einen "guten Zweck" gehen. Es handelt sich um die Crossroads Stiftung von Eric Clapton von Alkohol- und Drogenabhängigen. Nähres ist hier zu finden [...]
Das einzige was von zu verbessern Wäre: Es liegen keine Eintrittskarten für das nächste Festival bei ;) ... beim nächsten werde ich hoffentlich richtig live dabei sein!
