5.0 out of 5 stars Captures the Brilliance of One of the Best May 22, 2008
Format:Audio CD
I was fortunate enough to hear Tommy Emmanuel live in concert in May of this year (2008). From the opening notes to the last encore, he was one of the most brilliant musicians I have ever heard.

His technical skill is amazing, but he's about more than flash. He plays with a wide range of deep human emotion, and does it all with great wit.

This recording captures the essence of that experience. It's a live concert recording that finds him at his best, showing off his skills, and connecting and communicating with the audience. It may sound like hyperbole, but this recording has rocketed onto my list of my favorite recordings of all time.

If you haven't heard Tommy, this recording is the place to start!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Masterpiece May 22, 2008
Format:MP3 Music|Amazon Verified Purchase
This work is quite simply a masterpiece from a great master. Truly the greatest person to come from wonderful Australia, Tommy is THE best disciple of the late Chet Atkins, and I can see Chet now sitting in heaven with his MP3 player listening to this and smiling and tapping his feet along with his friend Tommy.
Sit on your evening porch just before sunset with a glass of ice tea, put on your headphones and listen to a man who makes a small room a cathedral of wondrous sound. His fingers are golden, his sound is perfect, his music is breathtaking. He makes an acoustic guitar sound like an orchestra. And if you ever get to see Tommy in a live performance, your life will be forever changed for the better.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best there is! July 15, 2008
Format:Audio CD
Another great outing for, in my opinion, the greatest guitarist on the planet. Chocked full of Tommy's inimitable personality and two discs full of his mind blowing picking and caressing his guitar to purr and growl like no other entertainer I've seen or heard. I've been fortunate enough to see him perform live in a small and intimate venue and this disc brings to mind that vivid experience. If you've never heard him, buy it, if you have, buy it. You won't be disappointed.

Emmanuel deserves fame. He sometimes sounds like he is playing multiple guitars at once! A great present for someone who does not know of him.

When he brought the harmonic player on to play, it would have been nice for a couple of songs, but he played on way too many. Read more
