[JamesChia]

incredible performance!

was shocked when he told that person sitting in front off though.
but that guy deserved it. was playing with his phone all along. gotta learn to show some respect.

 

[nitrovo]

Was he serious though? I found it funny

 

[Stillborn]

Amazing performance!!!

yep he was pissed, can see it on his face. i was near.

 

[MadWerewolfBoy]

i thought he was just being funny...

initiation... ouch...

 

[8fingermadness]

Initiation, mombasa and somewhere over the rainbow was worth all the money...but I was hoping he would play The Hunt though. Thoroughly enjoyable performance. I feel that it was even better then the steve vai concert (although totally different style). He's really friendly, but he thinks we're damn china or something.

I think the sound mixing was fantastic, it really brought out every bit from TE's guitars. What was that AER model behind him?

Still blown away by his performance...8O
can't get to sleep now...8O
simply amazing...8O

Amazing performance honestly. Such a great entertainer aswell with the jokes and all.

Was surprised when he told the person off aswell but you could already see that he was very emotionally attached to that song as he explained it before playing so I can see why he got ticked off, gotta show some respect.

Thank you, Nik, Tommy, Lizzie (did i get the spelling correct?) & the rest of the crew that brought such a fantastic show.

Please do come back next year. Singapore wants more of Tommy Emmanuel!

[nitrovo]

Great performance last night man ! I think the guy should learn a lesson, don't play with your phone during concerts,especially when you are sitting in front of one of the world's best guitarists , why the heck would you want to be playing with your phone ?!!

I love his jokes the bassist/drummer jokes , oh man those were real good !!

 

[ahkiatt]

care to share a few bassist/drummer jokes for those who didn't go?

 

[nitrovo]

what do you call a drummer whose GF jsut left him?


homeless.


What do you call a person who hangs out with musicians?



A drummer.

Bass one is too long to type out

 

[nocturnaldekadence]

Aaah, it was great. Thanks to Nik and co for bringing Tommy in and we certainly hope to see him again last year. Was extremely glad when he ended the show with "Since We Met". I love that song to death. After show, meeting him and sharing a couple of jokes with him was really really good too. Ending the drought I've had since 1995 of never getting a chance to meet him. Managed to get him to sign my "Only" CD album cover and the Live in Ballarat DVD cover. The sound and everything else from where I was sitting was extremely good, I can barely complain, except for that dude playing with his cell. Seriously, as all the rest have said, if you're sitting RIGHT IN FRONT of the man, show some respect - particularly during a song for a man he was so emotional about.

I managed a couple of photos during the show, but I'm goin back to KL soon - so as soon as I upload em, I'll post em up.

Nitrovo: Dude, I think you were sitting literally right at the back of me lol. Recognise the Beatles shirt and ya lil bro.

Definition of Perfect Pitch

Tommy: throwing an accordion thru a glass window & hitting a banjo player with it... :lol:

 

[Freeko]

the bassist joke:

There was a rock & roll concert and if you could read the mind of all the players in the band,

The guitarist would be think "Oh there are so many pretty girls tonight! I love them all. The drummer would think" There are so many people tonight! We're gonna make a lot of money." The keyboardist would think" I am the best musician in the band! These people just don't know it!"

And the bassist would be thinking" C, G, C, G."

LMAO

get it?

 

[ahkiatt]

i think i do... but what can i say... i'm a bassist.
