Tommy Emmanuel " Initiation" St. Luis concert, 2000

[69Bloodsucker]

I can't find word to describe what I feel when I'm listening to this song... It's outstanding.

[georgeledon]

awsome, just plain old awsome.

[tichaboyfr]

wow, that is one powerful music...

[hughc023]

I don't believe I could afford to see him live any more, so will always treasure those 'up close and personal' concerts of the early 90's . . .

[hughc023]

Brilliant stuff . . . I've had the very great pleasure on seeing Tommy perform live a number of times. All back when his well deserved rise to fame started. In venues of just a few hundred people, like the Tivoli in Brisbane. One concert, my partner and I had 2nd row middle two seats (petty sure that was at the Tivoli Theatre). Tommy, right there in front of us less than 3m away . . . 'king awesome . . .

[HorvathSteve]

[ballaststoffel2]

WOW, only WOW!

[bushbasher85]

The greatest compliment a performer could receive is for the audience to be silent even when its not mandatory, and thats what should have and did happen here.

[krnjulac]

THE most exiting guitarist ever! in a league of his own.

[jeewfake]

[12asyrja]

The only word needed: WOW

[Thurzotron]

Saw him a couple years ago in Jacksonville, he played this and it was incredible. You can feel the bass inside your chest, it helped that we were gone out of our minds but still, absolutely unbelievable

[LiteracyLabyrinth2]

At 8:30 - dead silence - the audience are stunned!

[LiteracyLabyrinth2]

When he plays this live I have the chills - its atmospheric and beautiful

[chrishuart]

It would be great in a tropical forest zone in a RPG, I'm thinking about FF VIII for example.

[Norbancs]

[1962andrewb]

i have had the privilage of seeing Tommy live an a few occassions. for his style of playing they don't come any better. Initiation is amazing live as is all his songs. and to top it all off he is such a nice guy.

[7OLGA7]

I haven't heard anything like this! It's incredible!

[monroe1285]

@7OLGA7 BETTER YET...........YOU SHOULD SEE IT LIVE AS HE PERFORMS IT, NOT JUST IN A VIDEO. HE IS NOTHING SHORT OF AMAZING LIVE!

[Alohapoisons]

@monroe1285 totaly agree. i was thinking that he is not a human then i so him live

[bakibejbe]

[italiaguitarest95]

[thebearujb]

@bakibejbe You should watch "funk joint" by "Marcus miller"

[parallelogramammoth]

pretty damn good. Some of the noises he makes are actually what you would hear coming from certain Aboriginal instruments.

[nagya1000]

He is God （´・ω・｀）

[BeiyanStw]
