Rock Gods at Goodwood

The 2010 Festival of Speed’s Cars, Stars & Guitars theme has proved a huge hit, Sunday witnessing ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons joining fellow guitar heroes Jeff Beck and Jimmie Vaughan to rock the [Goodwood] house. Playing Foxy Lady made famous by Jimmy Hendrix, the luxuriantly bearded Gibbons said later: “We changed the lyric from ‘I wanna take you home’ to ‘I wanna take all the cars home’. Man, you can’t describe [the Festival]. You have to see it for yourself.” A view backed up by Vaughan. “I’m like a kid in a candy store here,” he laughed. “You walk around thinking, ‘I want that one, and that one, and… It’s brilliant. I’m a total car nut – I love street rods, race cars – and to be here is just fantastic.”
