Yet another version of Classical Gas by Tommy. Found this on the internet recently. I'm guessing it was filmed early-mid 2002 at Sierra Nevada, Centre Stage.

Great version this, inluding segments of "Walk Don't Run" by The Ventures and "Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting)" by Elton John.

Enjoy the master at work!

Steve Stevens needs to do Classical Gas. That would blow the roof off any venue.

Tommy raises the bar, yet again......and, as I write this, this particular bar-raising occurred 15 years ago, six years before one of my students at the Hogwarts of Music, in Boston, first told me about him."Classical Gas," with an interlude quoting the Ventures' signature "Walk, Don't Run" (originally composed and recorded by Jazz Guitar legend, Johnny Smith), and a musical citation of Elton John's "Saturday Night's Alright for a Fight."Guitar Nirvana.How great an entertainer is he?I can almost always tell when a performer is playing to the audience; I can almost always tell when a performer is simply giving him/herself over to the Music, with no regard or concern for whatever physical tics and gestures result; I confess that I am baffled here as to whether or not the presentation is rehearsed, or spontaneous......or both.

Guitarists like Tommy Emmanuel are not given the respect they deserve simply because of the mindset of the listener who thinks the original artist is the best...I love the innovative style of this guy.

Tommy is a consummate performer, entertainer, and master of the acoustic guitar. Is he showboating? Obviously, and so would anyone who could pull it off like he does. Everybody else needs an entire orchestra to pull it off. So unless you have your performance of Classical Gas here on YouTube to compare with Tommy's (and if you were actually guitar player you be too busy admiring his skills to talk trash), STFU.

I am pretty sure Tommy came out of the womb with a guitar attached.

I really love Tommy Emmanuel. For me, he filled part of that void that opened up when Michael Hedges passed away.

and those who are oblivious and really negative don't realize he has a sense of humor, and also adds a couple other artists into the mix. As per his tradition :-) fantastic cover
