Vince Gill’s performance at Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival in April 2013 was a highlight of an unforgettable weekend filled with musical magic. On the first night, he joined forces with Clapton and Andy Fairweather-Low to bring their own twist to classics like Lay Down Sally and Wonderful Tonight.
The following evening, things got even more exciting when Gill teamed up with guitar greats Albert Lee and Keith Urban for an electric set that included tracks like Ain’t Living Long Like This, Leave My Woman Alone, Tumbling Dice, and Set Me Up. Their dynamic collaboration was a masterclass in guitar talent, and the audience couldn’t get enough.
One of the standout moments was their rendition of Ain’t Living Long Like This, a Rodney Crowell song that’s been covered by many, but never quite like this. The synergy between Gill and Lee was palpable, their guitar playing a seamless blend of skill and passion.
The trio also nailed a powerful version of Tumbling Dice, originally by The Rolling Stones. Keith Urban took the lead vocals, while Vince Gill and Albert Lee added their instrumental magic, creating an unforgettable rendition of the song.
Beyond the incredible music, the festival serves a noble cause. All proceeds go to the Crossroads Centre in Antigua, Clapton’s rehabilitation facility for those battling addiction. The festival is a true celebration of music, charity, and the incredible talents that Clapton personally selects for the event. Vince Gill, a longtime fixture of the festival, continues to wow audiences every time.
