I have had the pleasure of seeing Tommy Emmanuel
perform live on multiple occassions. Here are a few of the adjectives
that work... breathtaking... brilliant... outstanding... dynamic...
incredible... and those don't scratch the surface. He is widely
regarded as one of the finest guitarists to ever play. (And I
would be one of those in favor of such standing.)
Go over to You Tube... type in his name... and
then select one of the videos. "Classical Gas" tends
to be one of the favorite selections, but you can't go wrong.
"Guitar Boogie" has become a signature piece of his,
and "Angelina" is a personal masterpiece. His medley
of Beatles material will drop your jaw to the floor. The list
goes on and on, and, incredibly... as fantastic, creative and
professional as his recorded songs are... and as wonderfully as
many of the videos capture his abilities... a Tommy Emmanuel live
show is simply beyond compare. It is a rollicking, thrilling,
emotional experience that will have your heart pounding and leave
all of your senses dazzled.
