23 Oct 06: Tommy Emmanuel, Live at Victoria Theatre!

[ahkiatt]

thanks for the jokes anyways... funny. :lol: :lol:

 

[Nikhogan]

hey guys!

Hope everyone had an AWESOME time! I know I did!

When he played my request Drivetime I think I fell down, it was so good.

We will DEFINITELY do our best to bring him next year

Did anyone say Esplanade? Indoor Stadium? Jamming with our very own Symphony Orchestra? a TommyFest?

We'll see how much time we can get Tommy Emmanuel to allocate for Singapore, as you know he is an EXTREMELY busy guy, touring 300+ shows like last night every year.

Going to be changing my account to Nickhogan, peace out guys.

now, get to work on your guitars!!

best wishes,
Nick

There were a few geeky musician jokes that no one caught eh? Even my friends and I were talking about it on the way back.

For those who didn't get them, here's some of the more obscure jokes - and explanations.

"I had many requests - but I kept on playing" (requests to stop playing)



"There was an accordion player who went to a concert" (Accordions are the least favourite instrument around - an accordian concert is a rarity!)

"He was very hungry, so he decided to stop and MacDonalds to get a burger. Fearing that the accordion would be stolen, he wound up his windows, got off the car and locked the door, then proceeded to get a burger."

"When he came back, he found his windows were smashed. 'Oh my God', he looked inside, and saw 2 other accordions beside his." (Accordions are so unwanted that people dump them)



"Perfect pitch - throw an accordion at the banjo" (This is a pun of the word pitch and a metaphor to baseball)



Of course, if you didn't get it the first time, chances are these aren't so funny read here. I still like that joke on one of his concerts best:

"Doctor doctor! Help me! I'm shrinking!"

"Oh, then you'll just have to be a little patient." :lol:

For those who were there last night, I'm sure you all can remember this!

 

[nitrovo]

My recording didnt turn out so well...

I could upload it, maybe after I cut it up into individual songs. its jsut a long 2.5hr recording atm.

I'll just have to settle for his life album for now.

 

[8fingermadness]

anw i didnt know lizzie watkins was his fiancee...just found out after i googled her name

 

[nitrovo]

oo interesting.

so is anyone interested in getting a copy of the show in audio. not the best quality, but isnt too bad either, pretty good for just a simple mic.

 

[Freeko]

i don't mind! hey what was the song he played i can't remember the name i'm dying to listen to the song again i think it was called "stay with me" or something close the that nature. Was it "stay by me"?

 

[Freeko]

another title i'm dying to know but i'm not sure how to describe it was one of the songs he performed with the lady i think the song came from an advertisement

if anyone can still remember the titles of the song that would be a excellent

I think the one you are referring to is called "Stay Close To Me". It's a beautiful song. You can find it on the "Only" album.

As for the ones he sang with Lizzie, wish I could help, but I'm not sure which one you might be referring to.


As promised, some photos of the night. Cheers.

i dont think we should post up video without the permission of the artist and the organisers. coz in the first place, it was not allowed to do so.

 

[nitrovo]

Edited just in case i wasnt allowed to post them..

theres 2 videos on youtube if you search tommy emmanuel + singapore.

not my videos btw.

 

[viper]

I only remember he sang 'walls' with lizzie.
& lizzie looks damn young !

 

[Freeko]

i wanna know that song where he sang with lizzie. Well for that song lizzie sang most of it he sang only during the chorus..i think they mentioned birds in the song

 

[lppier]

Just like to add that he lived up to every of my expectations. A pity he didn't play guitar boogie though
