I've waited for 3 years for Tommy to come to Canada. I got so busy with a new job, when I went to check the time of the concert, it had happened 2 days before. I missed it. I have to go on his site to see when he might be coming again.
However, I have no doubt that, had I made it there, I would have been amazed. Talent on the guitar? Well, anyone that might be reading this is well aware; from ballads, to classical, to the Sanitarium Shuffle. And his showmanship is right up there to. He engages and just plain has fun with his audience.
You might not be able to sense my disappointment, but it's there, and it runs deep. I'll go through 3 boxes of sticky notes to remind myself the next time. Please tell me there will be a next time.
Very Sad Fan

This is possibly the best concert I've ever been to! A guitarist's guitarist. A composer's composer. A coverer's coverer.

I've been waiting for years to see tommy live so were the friends I invited to the event. It was everything we hope for and more. For any one who's a guitarist this is a must see. Tommy is amazing. My favorite song of the night was "THE TRAILS". I just wish I could of got seats up front were we could of tried to watch dem fingers flying.

Finally, I can say I've had the pleasure of seeing Tommy's fluid mastery of the accoustic guitar in concert. I'd seen his You-Tube videos and that's what drove me to see him live, so I was thrilled to see that he'd added Toronto on his tour.
Effortless. Poignant. Percussive. Harmonic. Sublime.

The venue was small enough to seem like a cozy and intimate show. As for Tommy Emmanuel.......there are no words to describe the level of talent he posesses. One of the most amazing concerts I have ever attended. If you like fingerstyle guitar, you are in for the treat of a lifetime!
I only wished I had brought the whole family. If he ever comes to the Windsor-Detroit area, I will BE there.

Having discovered Tommy on YouTube a few years ago it then became my fantasy to watch this amazing incredible guitarist live and his performance at the Gatineau Casino made this possible.
Tommy did not disappoint and is even better in person than on YouTube. The sound and acoustics in the Casino Theater were just awesome. Tommy received several standing ovations from the very appreciative crowd who were part of History as I do not think an amazing entertainer like Tommy will come along in a long time. He is like the Elvis or Beatles of music with his guitar. His amazing Day Tripper version was classic Tommy and it was done with perfection. If you closed your eyes one would swear that there had to be at least 3 guitars on stage. Tommy even sang a few songs and he even has a good voice.
An incredible Concert running from 8 to 10:30 is what I call getting your money’s worth.

This was an amazing concert!! If you haven't seen Tommy Emmanuel live then you are missing out on an unforgettable musical experience. In my mind Tommy is the the best fingerstyle guitarist there is and his finesse and expertise along with the rapport he has with the audience makes an evening you will always remember! Go see him whenever you get the chance...you will not be disappointed! You'll soon understand what CGP stands for! The venue at Lac Leamy was also really good, there was not a bad seat in the house !

No words to describe. He is possibly one of the best guitarist out there. Whether you are a hardcore guitarist or simply enjoy music, don't miss the opportunity to go see him if he happens to perform nearby you.

Tommy was unforgettable ! Obviously a master at his craft. Never thought I'd hear a guitarist that outplayed Chet Atkins...but here he is.
Extremely creative yet technically brilliant.

I had seen a few of his Youtube videos so I had quite high expectations, but he is a consummate entertainer and took time to introduce some of the lesser known tunes and he didn't let me down.
I'll go to see him again...

A Tommy Emmanuel show is simply magical. What this guy can do with a guitar is extraordinary. A great entertainer, virtuosity at it's greatest, when you leave a Tommy show you are simply blown away.....Don't miss this !

If you visit "Guitar Mountain" Tommy resides at the very top... I`ve seen Tommy twice live, had the pleasure of meeting him.. Not only is he a most talented guitarist, he is a fine gentleman... When Chet Atkins calls you the ":Best finger picker in the world" it means something & when you see Tommy you`ll understand why he was so highly respected by Chet... Wait until you see Mombassa or initiation live... Go See Tommy Live... You`ll be talking about it for months...
