I've watched this Woodsongs night about 10 times already.That was impressive, fun and really enjoyable....you know...what music is all about. And Tommy was in fine form. He can do it all, the slow gentle tear jerkers to the outrageous improvisations. A man alone with his acoustic guitar and mic... can keep people enthralled for 2 hour concerts... unreal.
in questa (meravigliosa) interpretazione c'è quello che in quasi tutte le altre manca e cioè la linea del basso, qui perfettamente integrato nell' ensemble: bravi bravi bravi !!!
... just saw Tommy last month. He puts most bands to shame. I said to a friend, if you took Tommy's guitar away from him, he'd just grow another one. He's a true blessing.
I like this version, it is more concise, his improvs fit really well. I think Tommy does these things better with the discipline playing in group puts on him. His solo stuff is great, but for CD recordings, this stuff is more suitable.
He told the same story when I saw him- the previous owner took very good care of it. The amazing thing about the guitar is that it is actually a low end Gibson from the 30's- Gibson called it the Kalamazoo because they didn't want to have the Gibson name associated with it (sort of like a Fender "Squire"). Still, in his hands, even a cigar box with a rubber band for strings would sound brilliant.
I would like to buy his greatest hits album but that would include everything he has ever done, weigh 10 lbs, and take a month to listen to.......................I guess that's not a bad thing
Different tastes. What makes this impressive is the smoothness with which Tommy plays, even when going at warp speed. It is his talent that we are applauding, not necessarily which version of the song we like best.
