This became the first official Crossroads Guitar Festival even though the 1999 concert had a different title. A two-disc DVD containing 250 minutes of footage of the 2004 concert was released in the same year. Held at Cotton Bowl stadium in Dallas, Texas, from June 4, 2004, to June 6, 2004. Back-up vocals were by Tessa Niles and Katie Kissoon. Backup musicians included Nathan East (bass), Steve Gadd (drums) Andy Fairweather Low (guitars), Tim Carmon (keyboards) and Dave Delhomme (keyboards). Some performers at the 1999 Concert were David Sanborn, Sheryl Crow, Bob Dylan and Mary J Blige. The first official Crossroads Guitar Festival did not happen until 2004. It was held under a different title which was Eric Clapton & Friends In Concert: A Benefit For The Crossroads Centre At Antigua. The first Crossroads Benefit concert was held at Madison Square Garden, New York on June 30, 1999. The festival returned to Dallas in 2019 at the American Airlines Center. The 2004 concert was held at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, while the 20 festivals were held at Toyota Park, Bridgeview, Illinois, just outside Chicago. The first concert was held on June 30, 1999, at Madison Square Garden in New York City, and there again in 2013. To the 2007 audience, Clapton declared that each performer was one of the very best, and had earned his personal respect. The concerts showcase a variety of guitarists, selected by Eric Clapton personally. The festivals benefit the Crossroads Centre founded by Eric Clapton, a drug treatment center in Antigua.
