Music: Re: [Classic_Rock_Forever] Performance of the Week

some smokin guitar playing there... its funny if you look at the equipment the two guys are using. Carlos has a pedalboard the size of an airport and two half stacks of amps. Claptons got a Strat plugged straight into a Fender amp and thats it.

Performance of the Week

Thursday August 26, 2010

By Dave White, Classic Rock Guide

Carlos Santana and Eric Clapton - "Jingo" - Live, 2004

Pick any list you can find of the top rock guitarists of all time, and near the top you'll invariably find the names of Carlos Santana and Eric Clapton. Even with vastly different cultural and geographic roots, the two share many characteristics. Both have been actively performing since the '60s and are still touring and recording today. Each has his own distinctive style, but both have had equal impact on rock.

What would it be like if you put them both on the same stage at the same time? That happened in 2004 at Clapton's first Crossroads Guitar Festival. Fasten your seat belts, secure your tray tables, and prepare yourself for some full tilt boogie, as Clapton and Santana cut loose on "Jingo".
