Finally my Kalahari order has arrived and I collected it from the post office on Monday. Was super excited as I really enjoy the Crossroads concerts and now I own all 4!
I haven't watched it enough to really give a full review, but my thoughts after watching it once are as follows.
All the the other venues where outside/stadium type of concerts but the 2013 concert is in New York’s Madison Square Garden, which looks to be an awesome venue, it was kind of weird for me to see everybody was sitting, it didn't look like there was any "standing tickets" as at the previous concerts and this kinda gave it a more formal feeling.
2013 has a lot more acoustic guitar playing, Clapton opens the Concert/dvd with an acoustic. There are some new names on the line up, and some interesting combinations of people sharing the stage.
I really enjoyed this dvd as it has gotten a totally different feel from the previous one's, with new artist and new songs. When I have watched it a bit more and can give a better review, I will do so.

My favorite "set" at the moment is the "The Needle And The Damage Done" and "Midnight Rider" by Allman, Haynes, Trucks. Also Kurt Rosenwinkel made me want to learn how to play jazz, really liked his playing.
Have anyone else seen this? Please share your thoughts.

I bought the double CD version from Guitar Center and have found it very different in content when compared to the earlier DVD concerts...seems to lack the performance power of the previous concerts and with lesser known songs, but I enjoy the Clapton closing songs.
