Title: Claptons Guitar Festival
Post by: Lizard3 on January 17, 2005, 04:51:05 PM
Any of you lucky Fellers living in Texas get to see that? Dallas June 04?

Just picked up the double DVD and it's just way to cool. Clapton, Jimmie Vaughn, Robert Cray, Buddy Guy, BB King, James Taylor, Joe Walsh, VInce Gill, JJ Cale, Carlos Santana, John Mayer, John McLaughlin, Larry CarltonJohnny Lang, David Hidalgo, Steve Vai, Eric Johnson, and ZZ Top.

Unreal!

Believe me, I wanted to be there badly.  Work told me otherwise.  Too bad SRV (no MrBlack comments, please) wasn't there.

No SRV but his brother was there as was Joe walsh John Mayer
Buddy Guy BB King God the list goes on .
Yea was there it was the schiztt man.
But the best part was the guitar show before the concert.

Got to see Clapton's Blackie and SRV's Lenny.
It was an event and for a great cause Eric Clapton Is a class act.

I've met and seen Jimmie many many times.  I never get sick of his playing.  I bet that was a great few days to be in Dallas.

Just about every guitar god alive today. Blue's Rock Speed and Jazz.

Steve Vai was good, but he had 3 guys backing him up so it was kinda hard to pick him out of the crowd till the other 2 stopped.

Eric Johnson and John McLaughlin were two of the technically best IMHO and FAST.

That dude from India, Vishwa Mohan Bhatt put on a pretty good show as well.

Lotsa groovey slide shows as well.

I heard allot of good things about young Lang, and actually bought one of his albums, but didn't hear it on that nor really on this. He had a couple a good licks but I just don't see the hoopla.

John McLaughlin bores the heck outta me. He sounds like a synthesizer.... all speed no heart.

Yeah, Dick Dale is pretty good. I always like that sound. Looks like he's grooming the next generation.

first time Eric Clapton heard SRV he was in his car on the highway...

he just couldn't believe what he was hearing...

so he stopped and listened...

SRV was a one of a kind, like Hendrix, only a few come along in time...
