Absolutely. I've seen comments saying "I didnt know Tommy could play electric guitar". That's like saying, "I didnt know Mark O'Connor could play violin". Gees
Love the way Tommy is never about flash and glitter - he always shows up in plain clothes with a very worn out guitar (acoustic or electric) and then promptly proceeds to bring the house down.
he scratches the paint off the acoustic on purpose to make a percussive sound like drum brushes, it's not about esthetics. but I agree, no exaggerated guitar faces, or posing "à la malmsteen": great humble dude, despite being among the greatest guitarists alive
It's in his playing, too. He always knows when less is more, when to let the other guitarist shine, and even when to just not play any fuckin notes at all for a sec at 6:55! He's obviously an immense talent, but he also has taste.
WOW! I thought Tommy was going to cut this guy JD SIMO, that I never heard of before. Not so! Great Jam. SIMO is really good if he can keep up with Tommy.
+Stephen Sollenberger In a town filled with extraordinary guitarists, that's saying something. My niece lives there. Loves music. She must be in heaven
Tommy really should do electric more often. His acoustic is kick ass to 3rd but gosh damn that tele picking.... I really hated the look of the three pickups until I heard tommy start playing and thought to myself.... f ing a he sounds good.
It's a pity that Alvin Lee (Ten Years After) is so underrated and forgotten. He played in the same style as Tommy Emmanuel. About this clip: why do you invite a guest and then not letting him/her play, just showing everybody how lacking your own playing is. That singer guy has very heavy fingers...
Haven't seen Tommy play a tele since played with Dragon in the early 80's, soon after he stated his solo career. He looks like he's having fun !! cheers Tommy !!
@@musicisart2 I kinda doubt that. JD started playing guitar when he was 4 years old. The guy was playing gigs in Vegas when he was 15. In Nashville with the Don Kelley band at 17. Come on man. Tommy is the man but JD SIMO goes way back to when most kids were playing with gi joes and watching bugs bunny!! Lol
These guys are having entirly too much fun. Wow, wow, and doubble wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never heard Tommy play electric. I thought he was a stone cold acoustic player, but not on this gig. Great playing fellas! Marc Trainor.
Ole tommy just having a real good time, he's done things on a guitar that surprised the late great chet atkins, he gives it hell, really enjoy listening to hear him play, thank u tommy, one of the greastest!
Back in the early 60s, this tune was written by a guy named Joe Scott. At the time, it was a hit almost immediately for Bobby “Blue” Bland on the R&B charts. It was powerful enough that many white performers also recorded it. I hope that Joe got paid his royalties. This song, along with Little Latin Lupe Lu by Bill Medley (Righteous Brothers) and several others really drove the music business. 1000s of cover bands played these tunes every Saturday night all across the country. White kids ended up buying “race” records and history of rock was being written. What a time. 10 years later bands like the Grateful Dead used them to gas up their concerts. Real classic. Mitch Ryder & the Detroit Wheels made a career of playing this stuff, and doing it very well (almost like they themselves were black). It’s not only interesting, but really good that J.D. and Tommy got together. Boogie-fied rock really isn’t Tommy’s bag. But he understands the music and it’s origin. This was actually interesting. J.D. ain’t been on this planet long enough to express understanding of it, but what a talent as well. He and his band play this as part of their set regularly. And for good reason.
+tobortine Show boating? I think he just knows how to have a good time on stage. He brings enthusiasm and excitement when he plays; truly an inspiration.
Love that Gibson tone! Reminds me of Keith Richards first LesPaul sound! If JD could tell me how he gets that quacky sounds! What are the impedance on those 1960 PU's! Or it's just in is great hands?
I love it when Tommy picks up his Tele.
Tommy is special with any guitar.. JD ummm lets get out of the box
Absolutely. I've seen comments saying "I didnt know Tommy could play electric guitar". That's like saying, "I didnt know Mark O'Connor could play violin". Gees
Absolutely.
לגמרי
I love Tommy, but on this one, Jerry Garcia he is not.
The world needs more JD SIMO and Tommy... They fit like two puzzle pieces on stage!!
This is how we knew Tommy in Australia - before his international success. He mostly played with Rock Bands.
Love the way Tommy is never about flash and glitter - he always shows up in plain clothes with a very worn out guitar (acoustic or electric) and then promptly proceeds to bring the house down.
What a perfect comment
Road wear is the new bling in the guitar world, didn't you get the memo?

I wish there was a photo of him onstage with a giant Elton John cake-wig hat.
The rare moments Tommy plays electric, cherish them!
I really wish Tommy would play more Tele stuff. I mean, I absolutely love his acoustic stuff, but I his Tele stuff is just so wonderfully different.
+Jack Woods Jack, you are so right
This is how we knew him in Australia - before his international success. He mostly played with Rock Bands.
Starting at 3:15, the ghost of Duane Allman kicks in!
I think more like Dickey Betts
I'll give you Dickey till about the 4:07 mark, then it's definitely some Duane.
Holy fuck simo on the slide is crazy. And tommy on that tele is just mean pickin.
🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘heey from 🇺🇦
JD Simo nailed that extended solo!
this video rocks, i dont know who that is playin with tommy but hes a rippin guitar player, he executed that tune very well🤘
There is not one thing in this world I love more than music
Tommy is brilliant, as always :D
Never heard TE play electric. He's got game.
That les paul sound is terrific
them damn PAFS are nutty good, that V he plays in this show is also insane
I don't think anyone ever doubted Tommy could tear it up on the telly like that my word he can burn I wish he played a little bit more electric now...
These 2 guys light this old Granny right up!!!!! Damn now thats some good music!!! LOVE
Tommy’s energy is amazing. You can tell he still loves playing the guitar. Beautiful.
man this must've been an awesome night
WOW! I thought Tommy was going to cut this guy JD SIMO, that I never heard of before. Not so!
Great Jam. SIMO is really good if he can keep up with Tommy.
ursafan40 he’s one of the better guitarist in Nashville
+Stephen Sollenberger In a town filled with extraordinary guitarists, that's saying something. My niece lives there. Loves music. She must be in heaven
JD IS A BEAST ALSO
Tommy really should do electric more often. His acoustic is kick ass to 3rd but gosh damn that tele picking.... I really hated the look of the three pickups until I heard tommy start playing and thought to myself.... f ing a he sounds good.
Hidden gem this video..
If Tommy would always play electric stuff, he would be the best Rockabilly guitar player ever!
woooowwwwww
tommy is the best guitar player in the world.IMAO
It's a pity that Alvin Lee (Ten Years After) is so underrated and forgotten. He played in the same style as Tommy Emmanuel.
About this clip: why do you invite a guest and then not letting him/her play, just showing everybody how lacking your own playing is. That singer guy has very heavy fingers...
@@kjelleriksson5122 What exactly are you talking about? Good grief enjoy the music
I was there. They covered ‘lick my love pump’ after this one. Great night.
Haven't seen Tommy play a tele since played with Dragon in the early 80's, soon after he stated his solo career. He looks like he's having fun !! cheers Tommy !!
Glad to see this video getting this much recognition after just a single day!
A real piece of Rock n roll..............

Tommy is always shining, I love it!
OMG I wish I could've been at this show!!

@@musicisart2 I kinda doubt that. JD started playing guitar when he was 4 years old. The guy was playing gigs in Vegas when he was 15. In Nashville with the Don Kelley band at 17. Come on man.

The Rock'n'roll never die!! Unbelievable!!!
I love the bassist's "oh damn" face at 0:31
Absolutely amazing. I sometimes get a bit tired of Tommy's show boating but this is just perfect - soul, timing, feel, everything was just spot on.
+tobortine
Show boating? I think he just knows how to have a good time on stage. He brings enthusiasm and excitement when he plays; truly an inspiration.
Really happy right now. This was great.
Gold!!! Tommy needs to play more Electric!!!
niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOooooo!!!
This is awesome. Dare I say kudos to the bassist? *ducks*
