"Agitation Rag" Tom Brier, John Reed Torres, Steve Drivon Drums

This video was from May 2016, Oakhurst Ca, Vintage Music Festival. This and more videos were taken just a few weeks before Tom Briers debilitating accident. As far as I know it was the last public performance appearance of a Tom Brier performance. After this accident I did not post anything more from this days performances. Someone on this channel knowing I had more videos asked if I would post these. In the following days/weeks I will post videos of the other performers that were there that weekend too, plus several more with Tom Brier. I have 45 videos yet from that days performances, of almost all who performed. Will be posting them all. I am sure all that were on stage, will enjoy seeing these and remembering that Saturday afternoon and evening!!...... VBR / verybigrifle

awwww man, I thought it was recent footage.
I was absolutely shocked in the thought that he was miraculously healed.
I know it is pretty optimistic on my end but I really did think it was recent 😞
Tom is a legend, I hope he will be able to play again someday.

This is "Agitation Rag" by Robert Hampton.

Thanks. I will add title. Being so old can't remember anything and especially if they didn't announce title. Haven't looked at these files in over 6 years now. I have 45 files from that day of all the performers plus more with Brier in duet and solo. Will be posting them in time.. Thanks........VBR

Thanks VBR for the upload! We all love seeing our man... Honestly, this was one of the best venues I've seen Tom play. I love see him playing "Goldeneye Rag" as well as "Efficiency Rag" in that very same piano.
Looking forward for the next ones.
Cheers

I just stumbled across this video, and being a huge Brier fan I thought to myself, "how come I have never seen this video before?". Then I noticed that it was uploaded a few hours ago. Thank you very much Carl for uploading this video!!

I think there was a festival the following year in Oakhurst - with myself and Will Perkins on the bill along with John Reed-Torres, the Bradshaws, and Larisa Migachyov.

Thanks Vincent. If you were there, you should know (: I edited that line out. I do want to be accurate. I don't attend anymore and so old can't remember a lot of things. And thanks for the corrected info....VBR

@@verybigrifle I only remember because of how much we missed poor Tom.

[@verybigrifle]

We all miss Tom. Such a loss. Thanks Vincent
