The 2007 incarnation of the event followed a similar pattern to the first show, and features stars such as Jeff Beck, Sheryl Crow, Willie Nelson, and Buddy Guy. Many of the musicians perform guest slots with other acts on the bill, making this a truly special occasion, and Clapton also uses the event to pay a moving tribute to the recently deceased Beatle George Harrison. All the money generated by the concert goes to aid the Crossroads Center, which is a nonprofit addiction treatment facility in Antigua.   Features 2-Disc Set Region 1 Keep Case Full Frame - 1.33 Audio: 5.1 Surround Dolby Digital - English Additional Release Material: Behind-the-scens   Technical Info Release Information Studio: Rhino Release Date: 11/20/2007 Running Time: 240 minutes Original Release Date: 2007 Catalog ID: 352127 UPC: 00603497987764 Number of Discs: 2 Audio & Video Original Language: English Available Audio Tracks: English Video: Color   Cast & Crew Los Lobos John Mayer B.B.

A charity concert of many great guitarists held in Chicago during one summer day in 2007. Like many multiple performer recorded concerts the DVD must limit actual musical moments to just one or two songs per artist. However the featured guitarists are all outstanding with breathtaking abilities ranging across a wide musical spectrum. Royalties from the DVD benefit the Croosroads Centre for treament of substance abuse.
