Anyone going? I just found out about this. Apparently they added a 5pm show because the 8pm sold out.

I wish... whoever can go, enjoy! TE's the best!

I saw him in Redwood City last October - go if you can - it's worth it!

Be prepared for total depression after the show - Actually its a mix of exhilaration and depression - exhilaration for what you just saw and complete desparation because noone will never achieve his level of fire!

It is truly a great show! Stay after an meet him, he will sign a CD and chat with you after the show.

Well, I might go, but I don't really want to go all by myself! So, if anyone's planning to go, let me know if I can tag along ;)

Tommy was with us in Nashville last week. He did two performances for the attendees and a lot of jamming in the hotel lobby and bar until 4 am. If you have not seen him live, you have to go. When you see his show the first time, it is awesome and you will not want to play your guitar for a while. But afterwards, it's more of a challenge and inspiration especially once you've met and talked to him. He's even more entertaining without his Maton in his hands.

Hey Ace,

Just saw this posting and headed over last minute to
Berkeley and caught Tommy's 5 o`clock show-

This was my first time seeing him and all I can say is WOW!!!
What an incredible talent and entertainer!

You werent kidding about abandoning the guitar after seeing him ;) or at least sell off my museum pieces and find a guitar I can play and bang on as a percussion instrument :)

I can imagine it must have been a blast hanging out and talking
story with him in Nashville!

The sad thing is that since I had planned to go by myself, I didn't really have the whole anticipation of going with a group.

So at about 7:00 last night, my jaw dropped to the floor and I realized that I had forgotten about it completely :(
