Since you all've been such good boys and girls, you can watch some television! Check your local PBS listing for details. Premier Wednesday, November 28, 7:00pm Grammy Award®-winning guitar superstar Eric Clapton once again teams up with fellow "guitar gods" to present another Crossroads Guitar Festival, this time from Chicago, America's blues capital. Like its predecessor, the concert was a benefit for Clapton's Crossroads Centre in Antigua, a drug and alcohol education and treatment facility. "The Crossroads Festival is the realization of a dream for me, to gather a group of amazingly talented musicians to perform on one stage," says Clapton, who remains on stage virtually throughout the entire concert. "The Crossroads performers are all musicians I admire and respect." Hosted by comedian and actor Bill Murray, the program features a once-in-a-lifetime gathering of guitar superstars, including Jeff Beck, Robert Cray, Sheryl Crow, Vince Gill, Buddy Guy, B.B. King, Los Lobos, John Mayer, Willie Nelson, Robbie Robertson, Hubert Sumlin, Jimmie Vaughan, Johnny Winter, Steve Winwood, and more. http://www.pbs.org/wnet/gperf/shows/crossroads2/
I can't seem to find this on my Dish...not sure what channel PBS is and it doesn't come up on a search...I'd love to record it.

I only saw the second half of it since the first half conflicted with "Shrek the Halls", and the kids got priority. But I was able to catch the Jeff Beck session, and boy, that was awesome, especially the girl playing bass. Man, she has some great hands. In case anyone's interested, here's a link to her space: http://www.myspace.com/talwilkenfeld
