Tommy and Phil Emmanuel - "Town Hall Shuffle", 1999, Funny!!!

Here the Emmanuel brothers have fun clowning around playing the Joe Maphis song "Town Hall Shuffle". Filmed at the Chet Atkins convention in Nashville in 1999.

[@edfone1489]

Just Brilliant!!......RIP Phil.

[@anthonyfox1436]

Yes a loss

[@lafreeway]

Luckily, I was sitting in the room when these guys were burning up those guitars. I had a pretty girl with me who had never heard of Tommy nor Chet. She fell in love with Tommy and went to the next couple of CAAS meetings with me. Alas, as always, she drifted away but I have great memories of her and that day.

[@therealthing691]

Makes you proud to be a Aussie these brothers are legends

[@michaelcurry2000]

therealthing691 I'm a kiwi and they are great

[@dontbetonit813]

They truly had fun when they played together. RIP Phil.

[@labonte995]

Not only are they some of the best guitarists ever, they never fail to make the crowd laugh and put on a great show.

[@jimclarke1108]

Legends , greatest guitarists that ever lived, RIP Phil

[@rickpettit8903]

in tears at the loss of phil!!!

[@joycemcfee1829]

Savor these videos, folks. Phil is gone. My heart breaks for Tommy.

[@Mike383HK]

You cannot possibly watch them and NOT learn something. They were incredible together. RIP Phil. I am asthmatic also.

[@flickshelga]

Even when they're acting like they are playing bad, they're good. Wow!! What fun to see!!!

[@dougaldhendrick3497]

Proud to say I saw them early days when they played as Gold Rush, knocked the socks off every other guitarists in Australia..

[@toama376]

Love the Emmanuel Boys..RIP Phil🙏🏾👆🏾🙌🏾

[@Lidiainsa]

myyy goodness, what a family *___*

[@ozbluesman]

Thanks so much for these . It brings back so many memories. It's jaw dropping virtuosity with humour and joy. RIP Phil. So sad that these two brilliant brothers will never share another tune together. That's what makes these videos even more important. To remind us that to live each day.

[@SHEILAG70]

Just got the news today from a friend that Phil passed & he shared this video. What talented guitarists. RIP Phil....

[@traceywilliams5639]

LAWOMAN70 may his spirit forever live on, through our fingers :)

[@jamiemills4460]

Phil was a wizard. Fortunately I got to see him a few times. One of the best you'll ever get to see. We lost a true top talent with his passing.

[@dale1956ties]

"R&R Heaven" got one HELLUVA picker when Phil turned up. *RIP Phil* Rock the Pearly Gates. Deepest sympathy to Tommy.

[@theatremad9797]

The guitar Phil was using is now officially second hand.

[@MrStash12]

Fantastic to watch, will be missed. RIP Phil

[@WHChae]

R I P Phil You were a great guitar player.

[@razorray6273]

I love this so much. Just keep coming back to it.

[@shreddiestreams]

So organic. True skill, no effects just pure fun and joy.

[@thingoclien]

They are so funny!

[@MrGreglarry]

Jaw dropping amazing. thank you Phil. We miss you. Love Tommy.

[@DaveMoustache]

"You wanna count this in?" "FOUR!" Genius! :D

[@Ashgrove17]

"lets check the tuning" Lmao! What talent these two have. Just seen Phil doing his stuff at Dee Why RSL. Still got it. An amazing show.

[@cocolossal69]

That bit cracked me up completely. These two together are freaking hilarious 🤣

[@pzdipuing]

Phil is phenomenal wawwwww n sad tat he died n tommy u r amazing toooo

[@SergeUnplugged]

Burst of positive emotions !

[@noisepuppet]

This is totally crazy and impossible.

[@shashilight]

Still one of my all-time favorite vids! And stellar job at tuning!

[@jcee6886]

RIP Phil

[@mikefrench3800]

[@StevesSlideandJazz]

Phil is really good too!!

[@bulabuakn4013]

imagine them sitting and playing while no one watching them

[@thomasdailey269]

Don't get much better than that.

[@tiemanschnitzel7940]

We all know about Tommy, but that Phil was one mean guitar player too!

[@jewishgirl752]

I miss Phil.

[@spatialfrance]

Great !

[@kirklorange]

I've never heard Phil ask for his guitar to be turned down!

[@graemej2599]

Yeah that's right ! Usually its cranked up.

[@gregbrechelt2295]

I know this comment is a long time after you posted it, I was just reminiscing captured Phil clips and read your comment, only someone who knows Phil or had played with him would know how he loved to be loud god bless him. Phil was a good mate of mine and I had a laugh when I saw this comment, thanks for memory and the laugh.

[@kirklorange]

@@gregbrechelt2295 He was loud because he was deaf; he was deaf because he was loud. I miss him ...

[@frombaerum]

did anybody notice Phils pointing- and longfinger tecnique at 1:22 ? :D

[@guycollishaw1957]

I wondered where those random E/G notes were coming from! Couldn't work out how they fit it in there but what a great added touch.

[@adamxlr2010hotmail]

fuuuuuuuuuck! phil has still got the tag on the headstock of his guitars

[@marcussegura395]

Because he gets bitches of how much of a pimp he is

[@graemej2599]

He probably just borrowed the guitar from one of the dealers at CAAS, for the show.

[@moscubagrum5027]

RIP Phil.

[@christophflock1921]

i miss Phil

[@SEngelsg]

At 2:30, when Phil goes into overdrive and Tommy cracks a smile and obviously are thinking "damn, that's fast" you know how impressive Phil's performance really is!

[@roadie3124]

More likely thinking "You didn't get me this time!" They were playing together since Tommy was 5 or 6 years old. Phil was the big brother. I've been told that, like many close and loving brothers, they played tricks on each other. I've also been told that Phil, being the older brother, always played tricks that it was easy for Tommy to handle.

[@Arrena-rc2yo]

Epic funny at 0:57 !

[@Manxcatstales]

@jerrysekCZ Thank you! I was just reviewing footage from this concert but could not remember the name of the song. Would you like to see it posted?

[@peterjongsma2754]

Vale Phil.

[@clivemorwood164]

Jeez......

[@geajka]

Watch Tommy....playing like that and chewing gum at the same time!

[@shreddykreuger]

Anyone know what guitar Phil is playing here?

[@anthonyfox1436]

4

[@tobiastheblueman]

Speaking from the perspective you currently find yourself when reading this, who's better in your opinion, folks, Tommy or Phil?!

[@graemej2599]

Can't say.. It's like comparing apples to oranges. Phil then would have been one of the best flat-pickers in the world. While Tommy has turned his skills into finger-picking, and is now one of the best in the world in the Chet Atkins style .....and taken it beyond ! When neither of the brothers can read music you realise what true musical geniuses they are.

[@66tas95]

Having met both men numerous times as a duo and solo artists Phil was easier to talk to and an absolute easy going down to earth guy, one minute snakes and lizards and the next fast V8 Fords

[@Endlessroad865]

Just after their performance at CAAS, Phil came up and stayed with us for a few days in Knoxville. Tommy came a couple of days later and the two of them did a show. Phil was still on Aussie time and couldn't sleep at night. We put a big jar of Oreo cookies in his room, along with some other snacks just in case he wanted something to munch on. Overnight, the guy ate the entire jar of Oreos! The funny part was that he had taken my daughters Sesame Street Cookie monster and put it in the jar and sealed the top! The next morning he went wandering about in the woods in search of "Tennessee" snakes. (damn glad he didn't find any) What a great player, hilarious comedian and overall great guy! I can NOT believe that he's gone.

[@jysmtl]

Will Holman thanks for sharing this story. When was that?

[@giumia76]

😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

[@grantrogers1858]

[@jeffersonjcoat]

The Story of The Emmanuel family and Tommy Emmanuel Watch for the documentary..... coming soon

[@jeffersonjcoat]

@@cocolossal69 that was just a suggestion. I've met Tommy briefly and he's super nice and generous with his information on guitar

[@cocolossal69]

Oh, I hope it happens. From everything I've seen and heard about Tommy, he really does seem like a lovely man. I hope to see him live one day 💕

[@Night_devill]

Miss u Phil 😢

Wow - is there anything Mike Myers cannot do?

[@MrTommyemmanuel]

Its called the Town Hall shuffle

[@huffpapi3597]

The camera can’t even accurately keep up with the speed of their fingers

[@DodoRai]

Massive respect to Phil but am sure he knew deep down that his brother Tommy is better than him...

From years of playing together and putting entertainment up there with good music.

[@jysmtl]

It’s not like they never played together before

[@marcussegura395]

[@LukeJF89]

Marcus Segura No they don't. That's like comparing an apple to a shoe.
