love that song!! thank you for sharing☔

I remember seeing Phil Emmanual at the El Rancho in North Ryde during the 90's, he was a regular there. I was always hoping to be there to see Tommy and Phil play together. I ended up diagnosed with Leukemia and never got to see them play together, I did get to meet Nathan Cavelleri while in hospital he passed through and said hi to everyone.

Oh my god . I was 23 South Australia . Traveling around Australia in a buss . Byron bay railway station . Never heard of them . Wow . Listening to the Broz play while looking at the sea . Stoned Memory

Hey, thank u! hope u got some stuff from Tommy's "Determination" tour! Love that album

I love Tommy Emmanuel. Beautiful person, incredible musician.

I'm delighted that this video was recommended to me and placed in my feed within 2 hours of it being uploaded. I actually remember watching this on TV back in the day about 40 years ago in the mid-1980s on the Ray Martin show. Tommy was doing duet gigs with his brother Phil in local pubs back then and he would do part of his solo act in the middle bracket.

Tommy always was and is the real Guitarist ❤ 🎸

Awesome great sounds. Many thumbs up.

thank you for sharing! where did you find all this early Tommy's videos?

Unbelievably talented brothers and family.

I remember watching this back in the early 1980s before Ray Martin started hosting the Midday Show. And Tommy and Phil back then were doing pub gigs.

They look so much alike, I can't tell which is which.

I'm comment number 2

Traveling musician at six years. Can you imagine pulling over rest stop to eat, instead having to box with kangaroos

Thanks for sharing these great clips

I’ve somehow found this within 10 minutes of it being uploaded

Very nice. Tommy just strumming?! Where is Phil's telecaster now?

❤️❤️❤️

Tommy Emmanuel is a genius.

Tommy this is your day & your life and well deserved I might add, your the best good buddy,❤ maybe one day we will see Billy Strings in the same light! Be safe and many more years of picking & grinning,,,😂😊

A great tribute to a global superstar of such modesty, humility and gentle kindness. Very much enjoyed watching

🤗❤

It is alot like a TV show surprise party starting @ 1:42!

Is there a mustache in Mexico?

Chet Atkins was Fred Astaire. Tommy Emmanuel is Donald O’Connor

I have had the privilege to watch him play (in the real) as I worked at the basement. Oh those early days and days at the Basement were magic!! I also got to see him with his brother playing with him in those tough years mentioned in this video. Those years for musso's and the temptations were real. To come out the other end of it all and to still be touring is absolutely a tribute to the spiritual healing and power of music. But through it all he has held strong to his way of beating the guitar. Well done - never forget your Australian roots and your heritage- love sharing this as a teacher with those young music teachers.

I had the immense thrill to see Tommy play live just once, at the Cambridge Folk Festival several years ago. He was simply stunning.

love TE But it is stretchin a,long bow to say he is near best ya now take Mark Knophler, best writer composer, player but a misery TE a happy player

Makes me wish my brother wasn't a liar who was lying about me without my knowledge for decades.

Chet would be proud.

YOUR GREATEST GIFTS ARE YOU, YOU CAN NOT BE JUST IN A BOOK, PLEASE JUST CONTINUE PLEASING YOU AND ALL OUT HERE LOVE STAY TRUE.

I have to say how Tommy exudes humanity. What a pleasure to watch and listen.

Best in the world?!!!! I'd buy that!

I've had the privilege to play with Tommy at Adelaide Festival Theatre and I still have the DVD today

Such a nice guy!

Such an absolutely wonderful & genuine person . A truly generous & kind performer. Great interview & beautiful family too !!! ❤🎶👍☀️

Please pray for Tommy Emmanuel........Due to all the unnecessary head bopping he is in extreme pain whilst playing guitar! Get well Tommy...we love you!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Just insane man!

He's a great inspiration to musicians like myself. But people also need to know this career choice and frequency of performances led to him three times divorced. It's not a life for the average person and the price to be the best is astronomical

When the aliens land and say 'What is this thing you call music?', Tommy will show them.

Я отримав задоволення. Дякую всім, хто брав участь! Томмі найкращий! 👍✊✋

God botherers can never keep their religious crap out of it.

Have only just come across tommy his ability and love of music just speaks for its self , i love that his a family man and as in life we have our ups and downs , some people though just have a glow and this man just has that in abundance . And its so true that you can tell a person in there way they play as it hits a cord .

Just think that’s almost 20 years ago… and now Tommy is more famous than ever!!!!!!

I've never seen any player more wonderfully joyous with every tune, every note, than Tommy.

Wonderful, Thanks and well done from South Africa. You're amazing. God Bless

Absolutely awesome I have seen a lot of this is your life shows but nuttin has/can top this one! It caused my screen to get really blurry, Thanks Tommy and all your wonderful family and friends!!!
