Mike Dawes & Tommy Emmanuel - Live in Catania, March 23, 2023

[@Nikkes02]

It is a great joy to listen these masters play. Thank you!

[@logicfuzzy9854]

Thanks for the video! Possibly the two best acoustic guitar players on the planet right now. The ultimate summit meeting!

[@IvayloNikolov]

Don Ross, Calum Graham, Michael Watts, Antoine Dufour, Erik Mongrain, Andy McKee, Dylan Ryche, Jon Gomm, Matt Thomas, Stuart Ryan, Will McNicol, Dustin Furlow, Travis Bowman, Tony McManus ... just to mention a few, pretty much at the same level or at least not far away 🙂

[@vyvynylification]

This is so true. People are quick to give popular KZbin names who do play well but these 2 are on a unique level. It's more than just raw skill. It's musicality too. And then there's getting the crowd going. I've seen plenty of great guitarists that don't even look into the crowd. These guys makes non-guitarists excited even

[@bahusofriends5467]

​@@vyvynylificationto be honest with you, i do not give much of a fuck about the crowd. I know i might should but when i'm doing my thing i'm fully submerged into the stuff i'm doing and i lack any capacity to do something else. Due to a disability i had to switch my playing from lefthanded to righthanded and thist fact ate my capacity for other stuff totally. I can't feel fuck all in my right hand, arm, ellbow, to hold the pick i use superglue and glue the thing into place. Works for me and gettin the crowd going i usually leave up to my bandmates. What's being delivered here is almost outerworldy. It is rhytmically, compository and last not least also technically superb, it must be adored and loved. At least i do. Wow, stunning! Amazing! Lovely and he's a gentle, a nice, lovely and mellow Fellow. And Tommy.......also just wow! The two of them teamed up, live on stage, what an event! This is far apart from the fretboardwankingstuff one finds on yt. ❤❤❤ Thank you for doing that!

Thank you for the fantastic concert🎉

[@84DavidM777]

One of the few shows that I would pay to watch. Thanks for sharing.

[@vyvynylification]

Seeing Mike and Tommy play together gives me so much joy! It's just obvious how much they enjoy that...

[@stefanforslund7124]

Seen Mr. Emmanuel live twice! Always a treat!

[@johna8947]

I've never heard someone emit so much emotion out of the guitar so fluidly like Tommy Emanuel. He's a once-in-a-lifetime talent. :)

[@maplebones]

Reminds me of Liberace

[@landseer18]

Saw these two recently in San Diego area. Tiny venue. Amazing performances. Already signed up for next visit.

[@chonacabrera5040]

As usual , Tommy let the beast out of the cage . It climbed up into the rafters , then the roof and tore down the house ! What an amazing performance again ! Everyone, it's own masterpiece . He is forever out doing himself and I'm pretty sure he's the best !👍👍

[@maplebones]

It's not a competition. The best is always yet to come.

Mike you is good 😊 you is great guitar picker player

[@ilbulga]

Nice to see the concert again !

[@joelronningen9930]

What a difference in styles - Tommy comes out and with no bombast just proceeds to use his musical skills to do all the speaking. Such maturity and joy, bravo!

[@tripcave420]

Vocals ruining it lol

[@TrevorWilliams-fq8mg]

@tripcave420 it's true Tommy can't sing , neither can Mike. But nobody can do everything. You can draw up a list of every great superstar and none of them can do everything. That's what makes showbusiness what it is. These two happen to be the best of the best when it comes to musicianship and playing guitar.

[@DustinLaffertyTV]

Acoustic music is in good hands. Well done Gentlemen.

[@AndyBarbosa96]

Love these 2❤

[@lavinchi6709]

Super ❤️

MIke Dawes for me is kind of caricatural British. In all the best meanings. Great music! Great artists!

[@gdfggggg]

You mean he’s nice?

2:09:53 Ear candy. The whole thing is ear candy. Thank you for uploading.

[@user-yz6hr7hv8c]

Smells Like Teen Spirit 🤘

[@00708046]

Tommy and Mike were having fun more than anything. Their reactions to each other led them down new paths in directions they've not viewed yet . Their talents are only as limited as their imaginations so by playing together the limits open up exponentially and and leave them limitless...

[@8sat_]

anyone know where I could look to find that lick at 22:58. so cool

[@taffmanetothyme7]

It's difficult to imagine following on from a performance after *Tommy's* done his set. The only comparable artist I think who has sufficient *chops* and catalogue, is *Martin Taylor.* After that frankly, I'm at a loss. *Tommy* is right at the top of his game imo. 👏👏👏👌

[@MsKitty-st1yv]

(Acoustic guitar (Logicfuzzy) is one that is not 'enhanced electronically).

[@maplebones]

An acoustic guitar, like a human voice, is capable of making sound without being enhanced electronically. Any sound may be enhanced if desired.

[@Dennistcb78]

Oh so nice 😎 can i find the Tabs???

[@user-kh7uw3ui2o]

where is a difference between the mastery and the genius? idk, its just magic, i think. the magic, that save us in 2023. peaceful sky above all of us

[@wienczysawnieszczegolny7850]

"Where is "Somewhere over the rainbow"🤔

[@enricobrik3074]

Oh the way they complement each, across the continents and the generations. Tommy E is heir to Chet Atkins as Mike D is to Tommy. You must hear Tommy's short Accomplice series, no 3 being with Mike Dawes. Tommy plays vocals and rhythm to Mike's lead and percussion. The last three here are among the five tracks of genius.

[@ricomusap614]

Please pause after deep river blues so the audience can clap and appreciate it and swallow before the next course thanks

What's going around the 27 plus mark when Mike shouts "Shut the fuck up?"

[@paulmarchant7418]

What was the second Maton Tommy played ?? A 808 jumbo ??

737 supermax

What guitars is tommy using here?

Australian brand. Maton.
