Tommy Emmanuel - The Mystery (in the dark!)

This was at the Colonial theater on June 10, 2008. Despite the power going out due to a horrendous storm, Tommy continued to play a two hour concert with no amplification, luminaries on the stage, and a flashlight shining on him from the balcony. Here he explains the background of the song and talks of his love for his lovely fiancee, Liz!

@Mucklum Can't believe you've just seen that! It was an awesome night. The first time I'd seen him since my surgery back in 2008. It was such a tribute to his dedication with the power going out. Some artists would've canceled the show. First row, first seat. An incredible, unforgettable night!

[@forbebe]

Truly. His heart was broken. I talked to him about it. But time is healing and I have heard him play it since.

[@forbebe]

It's magical!!

[@kampa81]

I love the fact that he's on Steve Vai's label, yet he's a completely diff't genre. They are both masters of their preferred medium.

[@forbebe]

They sure are! Thanks. I didn't realize that.

[@forbebe]

That makes two of us!!!!!!

[@johved]

@Joskun nothing like TE!!

[@rhye999]

It's a pity that that girl left him now, I wonder if he still performs this song

[@Jik93]

@RaptorJMR Yeah it's open G6 with a capo on the 4th. Don't know the chords though.
