Yes, Ronnie's looking good, there.

Is that carpet they're performing on? The stage area looks a little too tidy, as well. Could be someone's living room!

Rolling Stone has posted their review of the Festival, including some comments from Ronnie.

Coupla excerpts:

The Crossroads Guitar Festival is known for epic collaborations, and this year's event was no exception: Early Saturday afternoon, a relentless sun scorched more than 28,000 fans at Chicago's Toyota Stadium as Ronnie Wood, Buddy Guy and Jonny Lang kicked into the Rolling Stones classic "Miss You." The loose blues unit — an unannounced addition to the lineup — rode the tight, slinky groove for eight minutes, flawlessly weaving twangy notes. After the monumental jam, which included an impromptu verse from Guy about breaking a string, he basked in the crowd's love, and sighed, "Man, I'm in heaven."

... Next up was Guy, joined by Wood and Lang. The trio's loose set took shape the day before the show, Guy told Rolling Stone, but they sounded like familiar collaborators tearing through the scorching 12-bar blues of "Five Long Years." Including the 1978 Stones classic "was Buddy's idea," Wood told Rolling Stone while picking up an iced coffee post-set. The sober Stone ("I'm 90 days clean and serene today!") added, "It came naturally. I normally play it when I jam with Prince." Wood said he flew in from London at the last minute, drawn to the prospect of rocking alongside other greats. "We get attracted like bees around a honey pot," he said. "One guitarist melds another one, and the line increases and increases. All the guys who influenced people like me, Jeff and Eric are here. People like Buddy Guy and James Burton and B.B. King — they're all here. It's wonderful." After a pause, he added, "Where's Chuck Berry?" and broke into laughter. "He must be hiding."
