Another from the Sierra Nevada Centre Stage show in early-mid 2002. Great version this one! Still amazes me what Tommy can do with just a guitar! He gets a bit pre-occupied with trying to get the monitor volume up, hehe!

Enjoy!

  • At first I was lightheartedly thinking "Guitar: You're doing it wrong" but then an additional two seconds passed and I retracted that thought. Now that I've watched the whole thing, I've gotta say, I think this is the only guy that's playing the guitar right, and that everyone else is "Playing it wrong."

  • Take your shirt off, lie down in the dirt outside, close your eyes, and listen to this on headphones. It is *that* kind of epic.

  • ....Tommy was actually inspired by *Australian Aboriginal* initiation rites....NOT African! It does "sound" like the animals and birds of the Australian Outback..The Corroboree...and the Didgeridoo, (an aboriginal instument) It is a tribute to the Dreamtime and really honours the unique sounds of the desert and bush as well as evoking the vastness and ancient space, which is our continent, Australia :) Magnificent Tommy <3

  • I play the guitar for a long time now, for like 15-20 years or so, but after I saw this I really want to throw my guitar into the fire, burn it up into ashes, buy me a new guitar and do the same as I did with the old one...

  • @AZStony so true. I don't think I've ever truly seen someone play the guitar until now.

  • Hm.. at the concert he said that wrote that song while being inspired by the mystical african ceremonies.

  • @sammyaspen hope there's no ants in the grass...

  • I make that sounds when Im hungry ;3

  • 1 guitar only.. Alien..

  • Nobody plays guitar like Tommy!! . . .

  • wait...I thought they didn't allow porn on youtube...

  • Not even gonna ask if there's a Tab for this :)

    how does one write "scratch the guitar" in musical notation.
