If I had only one video to show a person who has never seen Tommy, this would be it. It really shows what he's about. Who is is filming this and where can I get the DVD? Was it for his PBS video?

[BillehBobBob]

This medley is awesome apart from that bloody cello player, shes fucking useless XD plus that section from 5:30 to 5:32 failed :/

[darrian80]

[Mikiezilla]

What song does he start playing at 1:05 ? Can anybody tell me?

[dann3th3manni3]

@Mikiezilla Venezuelan Watlz - Antonio Lauro

[Qwinkly3]

So..... does the cellist have any skills at all? Wakey wakey !

[biggerbigd]

@Qwinkly3 I guess some schooled musicians have to have it all written out. If I couldn't improvise musically I wouldn't go near a stage and Tommy. Sheesh.

[EricClaptonFan24]

Wich song does he play from 06:08 till 06:23?

[yellowpostbox]

@EricClaptonFan24 "Walk Don't Run", like the Ventures did it, who were inspired by Chet Atkins for this song.

[EricClaptonFan24]

@yellowpostbox Thanks!

[TheGuitarMartin]

That song is it 6:07 - 6:20

[Wolliman1970]

Hes just awsome, got ticket's to his concert in Stockholm (SWE) in March =)) gonna be my third time @ a Tommy E concert...

[TheTrueNicki]

This shows his pure awesomeness and love for improvisation. And I am going to see him in March. :D

Yes you are right, Tommy does these Jokes everytime he playes with the girls. But they never know before, what he will play, because he doesn't it before himself. I work for him as his alternate Sound Technician and he never can give me a Setlist for the upcoming show, because he plays the songs which match withnthe mood of the audience (and so: his mood!-). Sometimes he tells me"I will start the show with "Fingerlakes" but 5 minutes later he wlks on stage and plays another song. That's Tommy:-)

U N B E L I E V A B L E !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jerrysekCZ]

Tommy is such a funny guy. I just love him! His jokes are great as well as his concerts. The best guitar player ever! Can't be human...yes, I got it - God playing the guitar! Hope to see him soon again. Btw Johnny B. Goode - great!

[LemonJelly360]

Sensational..!!! The tone from his guitar when playing James Bond was amazing.

[Grockle1345]

Not sure who is having most fun: the audience or Tommy and the Girls...

man this is the way to present popular music...

fun fun fun bucket loads!!!

Thanks for uploading this...

absolutely brilliant

[7792leyenda]

and then he just plays classical gas with a flat pick, instead of the thumb pick, which he normally uses... awesome.

[marmur82]

actually I had seen similar Tommy's "musical jokes" with strings quartet somewhere recorded here on youtube.it wasn't the same, but I guess he does it a lot when he performs with the girls.

[yellowpostbox]

@marmur82 Sure, he frequently does it, when playing with the string quartet, but they rarely play together. There's another, very popular video with a great medley here on Youtube. In this Rietberg performance, though, Tommy really ROCKS out and challenges and chases the quartet like in no other version, I think. That's why: ultimate.

[MemeNatorius]

Amazing :D

[MrBasGitaar]

Awesome! Thanks!
