5 out of 5 stars Sessions For Robert Johnson.......2007-03-11

Eric Clapton displays his ability to play and the influence that Robert Johnson has had on him. It is a great balance of interviews and blues music.

5 out of 5 stars Clapton is THE Blues Man .......2007-03-10

Great DVD. Clapton was one of the first to bring Robert Johnson to attention with "Ramblin" and now gives his major tribute to R.Johnson.
Also get The Crossroads Festival it's killer.

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic!.......2007-01-11

This DVD and CD collection is perfect for the Blues fan. Eric Clapton is an amazing musician and recreates Robert Johnsons' music perfectly. Well directed and filmed.

5 out of 5 stars A terrific tribute to Robert Johnson.......2006-03-31

Loved the "session" format. Much better than the "concert" format where they spend half the time panning the audience. I'm wondering how the hell he played that riff, and the screen is showing the cute chick in the 7th row.

I agree with all the glowing comments below, and only find one thing that keeps this offering from being perfect... the songs are 20 dB louder than the dialog. I probably spent a total of 10 minutes pressing the volume buttons on my remote, and I still missed some of the off-camera remarks.

Still, the guitar work is awsome!!!

5 out of 5 stars Wow. Just. Wow........2006-03-20

If you are a Clapton fan, especially a fan of his Blues stuff or Unplugged DVD, this is a must have. Very personal, fun, and the music is fantastic.
