One legend filming two legends is priceless and beautiful.

[@ronfreeman5857]

Agree!

[@PoliTicMusic4u]

lol... yeah. amazing.

[@steven_scattergood]

Whenever I see Tommy play live I think of his brother Phil who played with him sometimes and was sadly called home too young. Tommy is a great guy and does a lot for people and still calls Australia home and is very loved. So great to watch him play and thank you Lee for this little slice of paradise. 👍☮️

[@steve--smith]

When you are connected to your instrument, your music, and have an antenna to a higher spirit... you play like TE. It's improvised and it is honest. And such skill.

[@bradlyscotunes9156]

Nicely stated!

[@fretfix1]

...and Jerry Douglas!?

[@randyschiffer3265]

Tommy always comes across as friendly and just plain loves what he does. Love this Leland, thank you.

[@davidotness6199]

Tommy is scary good. It was a long road for him to get to this space, and we are all soo glad he did! Playing with Jerry---mighty finest!

[@andrewlisenby9693]

What a pleasure this is, Leland! Thank you, Leland, Tommy, and Jerry!

[@dianel222]

I can never get enough of Tommy. Jerry is fantastic as usual. 💜💜💜

[@mathumphreys]

These two together are just amazing. Can't help smiling when I watch this.

[@mykehutchings]

Good morning Leland! Thank you for sharing - what a wonderful surprise on a Monday morning!

[@seamus6149]

Two legends together , awesome

[@dckmusic]

Two masters of their craft being filmed by another master of his craft.

[@rudiblankenburg5746]

Thank you Lee for letting me be there. Unique for me. Greetings from Tangermünde / Germany.👍 🙏☮

[@DaxLLM]

Yes, Tommy is one of those rare high altitude birds that can fly at 20 thousand feet like it was nothin! He has the technical ability to do just about anything on a guitar. Kinda reminds me of Les Paul and Mary Ford of course. :-) Thank you Lee for this peek at a live performance of Tommy!

[@JamesGuitarPowell-wx2xh]

Very satisfying to see Tommy has read my pamphlet on the guitar 🎸 🤠🌶️

[@brachialmusiker]

Tommy is for sure one of the really great ones ! Thanks Lee !!!

[@robpatterson9576]

Tommy doesn't sing much, so that's a treat. Just saw him in Canada a few weeks ago. Most awesome player and performer!

[@Gina-ly5bp]

😎 Oh this is COOL! Is this the Telluride Bluegrass Festival? Yay!!!

[@FreedomRock44]

Have seen Tommy on PBS a lot..... sick guitarist. Jerry is AWESOME!!!!!

[@jonvanhouten8369]

Wow, this guy is incredible, love it!

[@toneman501]

Exceptional.... I just watched it through Bluetooth into my little Yamaha...it sounds awesome...

[@marygiuranna6817]

Hello Lee. It's great to see the Large Band back on the road.

[@m1nn1s]

Morning Leland 💖🧙🏼‍♂️ Beautiful sound, beautiful people, Beautiful place... Thankyou for a.. 'Solstice Telluride' with the very best! (Jerry 'Jezebel' Douglas! 💖) (Tommy E. too!) Healing energy ⚡ to Maureen ✨ and the boys 💖 🐾 🐾 🐾

[@ronnyskaar3737]

Look forward to hearing Tommy with Mike here in Bergen, Norway, this November. Wish you were coming too, dearest Lee.

[@Vito_Tuxedo]

Tommy and Jerry *_each_* peg the Awesome Meter™ hard into the red on their own, but together...well, there really are no words I can conjure up that do justice to the musical sorcery they create. And on toppa that, the fact that this miraculous event was captured by Lee...wuh! This video creates something like a sacred space for those who get it. 😎

[@JumpingJesusMurphy]

Tommy Emmanuel alone is pure joy, Tommy and Jerry Douglas together is nothing short of ecstacy!

[@jeffbangkok]

Good evening from the mango farm Thailand

[@larrymiller4]

Everybody's got their "favorite" guitarist -- if there is such a thing, it's all very subjective -- but TE edges out all the other pickers and players I have loved to listen to as my own favorite. Aside from mastery of his instrument, and an astonishing melodic sense, this guy I think has more fun making music for people's enjoyment than anyone else I can think of. And Jerry Douglas? Just blows me away -- incredible, incredible, incredible...what a performance.

[@fernandoperezsousa3779]

Pure genious. Both.

[@suecorrigan]

Hiya Leeeeee!!! 😂❤🥰 Sorry I'm so late! It's been a crazy, busy week for getting things done. ✔️ What a great duo these guys are! 🎸🎶 Thank you so much for this treat! Love you very much!! ❤🎶😎🥰🤗

[@lavatar3562]

Brilliant! TE started off as a drummer in his brother’s group but great time is just the start of his musical prowess. Certainly an inspiring performance and kudos to Leland for holding the phone so steady for so long!

[@eddiethek]

Well, that was simply incredible.

[@andrewfindlay9099]

Brings back good memories from both of them at the 'Sage' Newcastle U.K

[@annirvin6555]

I had no idea that they had appeared at The Sage. I only live six miles from there. Definitely would have gone to see them.

[@andrewfindlay9099]

@@annirvin6555 It was delayed due to covid and rescheduled really enjoyed , but a long way to travel for me my son lives in bishop so spent a few day there prior to the show

[@grant50]

What a duo! Astonishing!

[@paulpryde1]

Thank you Leland for posting, saw these two in Bury St Edmunds, U.K last year and they we're as wonderful as they are here. The sheer joy they effuse is so refreshing.

[@bernardh9994]

[@garydungar2874]

Think how good a bass player Tommy would be though @paulpryde1 😉

[@andysmith6156]

Someone should arrest these 2 for being that fricking good.

[@janthomas2896]

Awesome!!!! I saw Tommy in concert several years ago and, of course, have liked Jerry for decades!!!!❤❤ Thanks for posting this!!!❤

[@dhulbert855]

Beautiful job capturing this Leland! I listened live on KOTO, but this let's us actually see it, with great sound, from a primo seat, too! Thanks so much for this and the behind the scenes view of Molly too!

[@stevenalbertwood9090]

Perfect duo. So good.

[@elimakowski1469]

Thank You Leland! You keep dropping these lovely jewels upon us, and WE love you for it! Both of these guys are at the very top of the food chain, and emphasis the importance of spontaneous playing, listening, and tasteful interaction.

[@JochenVogel]

Thank You for sharing this gem, Leland!

[@peterlister1856]

Dear Lord, make me a quartet: Tommy Emmanuel, Jerry Douglas, Leland Sklar and.... Joe Craven ❤

[@toneman501]

OK...third listen ...this time at full volume...absolutely mind blowing musicianship....and the sound quality of the video is really good too.... You've really captured some magic here Lee... ...and you should definitely jam with them...❤

[@abnerlook3869]

'Tom and Jerry' got a nice ring to it. Mama Knows 25.19 what a beautiful song thanks Lee🖕

[@steven_scattergood]

Hello Artemis.☮️

[@goodun2974]

I love Jerry's playing ---- Slide Rule, and Skip Hop & Wobble are two of my favorite records ---- but I've never really warned up to Tommy's playing; he's very proficient and polished, great technique, but it's a bit stiff for my taste. I prefer Martin Simpson, who ought to be at least as well known as Tommy is. I've also seen Richard Thompson about 20 times, and Leo Kottke almost as many, although sadly his talent has dimmed with age.

[@artemisXsidecross]

[@user-ub3ud7rj7q]

Thanks for posting this! Have seen Tommy a few times live and is always off the charts amazing! Saw him with Jerry Douglas last year and Molly Tuttle this year. Definitely worth checking out Molly if anyone has not heard her.

[@gliderpilot449]

Love Telluride. It’s my favorite venue in my favorite place!

[@steveslate3601]

Two Legends on stage and another one recording!! Awesome Lee!! I'd love to hear you up there playing with them!! Jerry is amazing and Tommy is phenomenal!! Thanks for sharing this!!

[@sidtone1]

This is why they make guitar strings on earth. Thanks Lee for a beautiful recording.

[@robosledger5158]

Wow! What a treat. I knew of Jerry, but not Tommy. I have yet another great artist to follow. Thanks Lee!

[@PhilipReid-rm6bb]

I’ve seen both Tommy and Jerry preform on stage but never together. Telluride is the greatest setting on Earth. Thank you for posting. Signed Truly Grateful

[@guitar_player_bernie]

Dude!! thanks for the share. Two of my favorite players. Your playing doesn't go unnoticed either. :)

[@luvbasses5487]

I watched Tommy’s concert on PBS a couple months back. His internal clock is beyond SPOT ON! Even a bass hack like myself can recognize how other worldly this guy is. Thanks for this treat Lee…and I know as you were recording this your mind was thinking of how you could apply some bass to his incredible compositions. In fact I hear him playing bass on that guitar as he goes! Like James does.

[@jesusislukeskywalker4294]

☝️ Godly good 🔥🚬🐨

[@bigtone667]

He used to be the drummer in a band with his brother Phil.

[@luvbasses5487]

Jerry Douglas was a member of Alison Krauss & Union Station

[@slipperynoodle20]

Jerry has an extensive, Sklar-like history in the studio. The list of musicians he's worked with would read like a Who's Who. And yes, Lee and Jerry have shared sessions.
