Eric Clapton - Crossroads Guitar Festival 2010 (Blu-ray)
DVD release of this year's Crossroads Guitar Festival. Loaded with great performances and backstage footage.
As you know, I am crazy mad in love with The Bombastic Meatbats. I want a live show of theirs to be in my possession. We differ on Moby Dick. It's ok.
Gary Husband's album is killer as well. I've only heard it once so far. Fantastic. What's up with the 40 second Robin Trower tease? Funny.
