Tommy Emmanuel/Pedro Javier González -SULTANS OF SWING- (Barcelona, Sala BARTS, 2016/3/16)

[@Tootiefly]

Tommy and Pedro have such amazing chemistry when playing together. I see two boys just hanging out and just having the time of their lives. Truly fills my heart with joy listening and watching their performances!

[@AJGreen-cn8kk]

I just stopped this and thanked the world for giving us this media. We are so lucky to be able to watch and hear these great people anytime we want. I for one remember the not to distant past when only a veritable handful of people in any one place would have the honor of seeing performers of this caliber. For many, including me, it was a once in a lifetime experience. Like seeing Chet live or Jim Croce just before his tragic accident. Now I only need to punch a few buttons and presto, I'm enjoying things like this. Just how damn lucky are we?

[@christopherrois]

A.J. Green I totally agree with your point of view.

[@croozin2]

Well said!

[@IainHC1]

Indeed :-)

[@alanmumford8806]

Hell yeah! I saw Tommy in Prague in 2 thousand something. It was an incredible experience that I didn't even know was on my bucket list!

[@GeorgeSmith-np2hw]

A.J. Green, this is a treat. I have always wondered if a master of one genre, finding himself as a young man again, couldn’t have become a wonderful artist in another genre. Imagine Jimi, Eric, or SRV as a classical or flamenco artist. Imagine Segovia or Bream playing blues or rock guitar. This video is about as close as we will ever get to answering those questions.

[@mahkhyecheng5675]

This is a completely different version, presentation, interpretation from the other video, with three Sultans, and the Bassist, and percussionist. Tommy brings out the best from whoever he plays with. He’s God’s gift to the world.

[@nellatrab]

I love the fact that Tommy has so much fun when he plays....you can see it in his face and feel it in his vibe...!

[@russellmcdonald1964]

Mark if you ever doubted that your tongue in cheek piece was a classic, I think this performance confirms it!

[@francoisthevenon]

C' est irréel... C'est...je ne trouve pas les mots, c' est tellement beau !

[@TheEnglishLoungeLizard]

These chaps embody talent, enthusiasm and fun. Bravo!

[@LutherAmosHouse]

Gonzalez, is one of those rare guitar players man. Legendary. I guess in the central USA he it seems more known among other pro and amateur guitar players more than the general public.

[@nickellion3657]

Making that song look easy or effortless and full of fun......Best thing I've ever seen!

[@parkingfortheweekend6305]

Ben listening to Tommy for over 25 years… always amazed. Helluva showman!

[@francisjones42]

I have recently discovered Tommy E and my world has become much brighter. If anyone knows Tommy E tell him this. I think it would make his day also. He plays to bring joy to people i read. Its worked on me. Keep up the good work Tommy E.

[@abc456f]

How I never heard of him until today...I have no idea. Found him through a finger picking teen, Kent Nikimura, who i discovered yesterday. Real music still lives!

[@scrotrot1595]

He's considered the finest acoustic guitarist of all time 😳🎸👍. Uses a Maton (Australian) guitar. Check him out covering Classical Gas.....his guitar went to rehab after that one!!!

[@olivereverything2776]

That song never gets old. Knopfler the genius who wrote it. Dare i say it, these two take it to the next level.

[@basalemshakib8994]

What magical raw talent and skills 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽...Hats off to these legends. Still watching in 2023😎🤙🏽

[@joeburton1232]

Tommy is the best musician/ entertainer on the planet. !!!..He brings joy to the world.!!! AWESOME!!!!!!!

[@SamuelHigginsleaping]

That was incredible. Their rhythm, I articulation, creativity, and pure joy is just legendary

[@MrToscani]

Absolutely mastering and enjoing!

[@WindyWarm]

I was here that night !!

[@danielsharon524]

Who could possibly downvote this? Amazing talent right there.

[@Rangoslap8]

Biggest music find for me in 2019. Emmanuel is for real .

[@michaelbentley4182]

Pedro is a total master of his art as is Tommy.

[@chrisehrlich3514]

Two maestros,two styles,weaving,bending,bringing it to a crescendo,and backing out,gently. I would think Mark would have a smile,on his face. Masterclass.

[@MercedezMorales-z2i]

Toca de bello la guitarra Javier madre mía ❤

[@richardberke4539]

They are having so much fun! Wonderful to see. Great to hear!

[@julianPM2024]

Thank you for sharing, it is such a blessing to hear such mastery encapsulated in sound and rhythm!

[@lemmypayet6465]

sheer guitar genius...so refreshing to watch skillful people

[@josemanueldominguezcabrera6077]

Buenos días. Grandiosa canción. en las guitarras de estos dos Maestros. Antológico, Sublime.

[@danielsharon524]

Two of the greatest right there and they look to be having so much fun. So glad I found this gem on here.

[@gabehorno]

I think Tommy Emmanuel is my favourite person in the world

[@66tas95]

Tommy's brother Phil was cut from the same cloth check him out

[@cocolossal69]

I think Tommy is made from magic 💕

[@khekutokiho771]

This 2 are perfect

[@JoergWeissbrodt]

Muchas Grazias! Thank you! Tommy Pedro! Amazing!

[@michaelbentley4182]

Pedro is absolutely brilliant - as is Tommy...

[@leftoverhippie2397]

Michael Bentley I agree, Tommy was very aggressive in his leads. Stuffing to many notes in...both have the right to say they are excellent guitar players

[@daveyponderosa9549]

Love this so much it’s my 3rd viewing of the day. Just……WOW!! 🙌❤️

[@masiosare42]

Estos dos genios REFRESCAN EL ALMA!

[@Pedraforta]

No tinc paraules! Tommy és una persona única i genial. Gràcies, gràcies!

[@STEAMBOLTANNIE]

two great guitarists having fun...very entertaining and pleasing to the ear...thank you

[@mafi8360]

Amazing. Thanks for taking this recording and sharing it - awesome.

[@hanafihsb7520]

Legends of two continents. Salute...❤

[@xzyza2000]

Magnifico!!!

[@stephenedwards1737]

Like finding a large Gold nugget in a stream you thought you had already explored. Fabulous

[@maheshhr4657]

I'm totally floored by their talent. Marvelous! How can 16 people not like this?

[@mclovin215]

mahesh hr have no clue what music really is. that's how 16 people got it wrong. 27 years behind the strings and I can assure anyone this is what talent looks like

[@paulfinkleman6775]

Of the thousands of us who loved this masterful performance of a great song, there could easily have been a dozen or so who were either so bedazzled by the brilliance or just high on something that they accidentally or unknowingly pressed the dislike icon.

[@erepsekahs]

The genius is in the man who wrote it.

[@erepsekahs]

@riplstrip I do not agree at all. I guess you do not play the guitar. You do realize, I hope, that for most of this it is taking 2 of them to do what he alone does......that is why it sounds so empty. There is some rhythm guitar fill but mostly it is the two of them trying to do what he alone accomplishes. I hope you also realize that he composed it and sang it.....copyists are a dime a dozen. People would pay millions to see Mozart perform.....people will pay 20 bucks to hear a copyist PLAY it just as well.

[@erepsekahs]

@riplstrip HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA what a wonderful joke. As you know KNOPFLER wrote THIS that these 2 turkeys can COPY. and neither one of then can play it fluidly and clearly as he does and did..they have to share the task. Knopfler WROTE this and sang it both on record and live. You are a complete joke. I thank you for showing the IGNORANCE of a clown who cannot play the guitar....and probably any other instrument than the Pink Trombone.

[@frederiqueleduc184]

Marvellous ! In french " un vrai bonheur" !!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@francoiscosta2472]

Still the same feeling listening this great song from Mark Knopfler ! ♥️♥️♥️ Thank you guys for this terrific play !

[@mila9381]

That rythym change is so freaking awesome 2:35

[@garyjohn6766]

They Defo know "All the Chords" ✌️

[@BarkerT]

And know how to make it cry and sing!

[@Knight14649]

So pleasing to listen to.. thank you both...

[@GiuseppeGuidacantautore]

[@danyquintero6534]

Gracias Tommy muy linda tu música.

[@ZZMJo]

[@alecfed]

WOW, JUST WOW!!!!!!

[@ayokay123]

Tommy's too humble to play both parts all by himself.

[@Ezunglora]

Totally blew my mind

[@betisfs]

Cuanto arte!!!

[@nevilledarman8n21]

Two of the best

[@ZZMJo]

3, NEVER EVER forget MK, who wrote this fantastic masterpiece! 👍👍👍🎶🎶🎶

[@ulanarni8804]

Ultra; both !

[@chazspleen]

Knopfler must be pleased. His song is good enough for these two cats to play

[@woomi177]

Isnt this technally stealing his song

[@chazspleen]

@@woomi177 Nope. Its called respect. Something many talented musicians and composers will never get. Saw Tommy Emanuel in 2009. He opened the show with a scorching version of Mason Williams' Classical Gas. I've seen Mason do it live before, too, but Tommy took it to the stratosphere. That's love and that's respect. Tommy is a humble musician who takes pieces from great composers and spins them into tapestries of his own ferocious playing. Its a type of collaboration. Not stealing. Stealing, is vanilla ice biting off a riff written by Queen's Bassist John Deakon and claiming that he wrote it himself.

[@svendbosanvovski4241]

Mark is pretty special, too.

[@canuckteach4315]

@@chazspleen Agreed.. Really a tribute to Knopfler, who came up with those classic riffs 40 years ago. Meantime, I am still playing the same dumb blues stuff.. Ah well: back to the practice room for me. I can dream there all alone. (--: )--:

[@yasmiiineee]

@@canuckteach4315 hey hey what's with the self-doubt and the negative thinking? the mere fact of playing is already something sooo many people struggle with! You're good. Keep on playing and getting better. And above everything else, keep on dreaming and working towards your dreams!!!

[@GuitSiva]

Good show folks..👌👏🎶🎸😊

[@zeeshankhan-yy6sf]

22 dislikes for this masterpiece? I'm living in a wrong age, I guess!

[@jameschan1791]

Wow! That was like Bird and Magic playing on the same team!

[@kenhawkins1033]

I often times suspect Tommy enjoys his job.

[@landseer18]

Just a tiny bit.

[@j.mshrader2347]

Ken Hawkins,you might be on to something there brother lol I’ve often wondered how many of those OO/OM Matons Tommy has worn out over the years lol when I seen him with billy strings a couple years back the little Maton Tommy was playing had quite a bit of pick wear on the top,and I know he has to go thru some frets too lol

[@Hank-ds8pc]

That's some Funny Fucking shit!!!!!

[@JoergWeissbrodt]

Super Pedro i Tommy!

[@robb3652]

two like minded players in style and creativity making it happen.
