I read about this today. Sounds like a great event. I have the 2004 edition on DVD and the show was incredible. This will surely be another outstanding show. Plus Steve Winwood will be there...perhaps a Blind Faith reunion??

I just saw this in the paper. HOLY CRAP!!! I got to see this. Is it a bunch of short sets or do they group some of them up together?

Also saw the video from the Cotton Bowl. Awesome!! Too many great BIG TICKET concerts this summer. The pocket book be hurtin' with Billy Joel tix, Police tix and 2 JB shows already in the fold. And that's not counting if JB heads back to THE KNOB!!!! Would like to see Genesis and Asia also but..........I know I'll want to see some other "smaller" shows and the Doctor is not a real Doctor (i.e. not rolling in cash).

Doyle Bramhall II tore it up with "Green Light Girl" in the first Cross Roads DVD. Robert Randloph and The Family Band were also really good. Wish they would do another Texas stop....and then 5 weeks later Bubba, George, and Allan can do it again too.
