Saw them back in the 80's as The Emmanual Bros Whiz Band, with the Bull sisters singing. Also saw Tommy a heap of times with The Bushwackers. Legends both.

This is simply magical. It's better than music: it's just plain inspiration. Tommy Emmanuel is the greatest guitarist on earth today, and yet he plays rhythm guitar for Phil. Those two possess talent beyond description. Phil's loss is incalculable, although Tommy is carrying the legacy on today. What amazing stuff. Simply wonderful.

It's just a joke, part of the show, here in 1986, that Tommy is just a rhythm guitarist. At the time and prior to this, Tommy was well known as one of the top, if not the top, electric guitar session and lead players in Australia. For example, here he is playing lead live @ the Sydney Opera House in 1979 with a band that he wrote and played the iconic solo on an Aussie cover hit of the old Spinner's song I'll Be Around. kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z5OMzc2qYMifXag.html Phil also regularly played dual acoustic guitars with Tommy live since they were young boys and, around the late 70s onwards, would often play "Mediterranean Sundance" is the third track on Elegant Gypsy (1977), the second album by Al Di Meola together live, trading solos note for note as per Al's record s exemplified @ 29:38 kzread.info/dash/bejne/lICss6WcaMi3iJM.html

The best guitar duo the world ever had. Phil Emanuel almost made the guitar speak and was an incredible lead guitarist and his younger brother Tommy played beautiful rhythm guitar, but together they were absolutely sensational.

If it wasn't for You tube today so much of this would be lost!

I can tell you from personal experience that tommy is one of the nicest musicians on the planet as well.

Phil makes this look so easy, but Tommy makes it look so hard. Tommy understands the spotlight. I absolutely loved Phil's sense of humor; ever ready to destroy the pretentious, but also ready to praise his heroes. 65 is too young.

When Ozzie Pubs had Great Music, Great Humour, and Cheap Tickets . Ah , The Good Old Days. Shout out To Phil and Tommy's Mother and Father who let the Family travel, play , learn and grow. Ozzie Treasures. Incidentally, The Shadows were the best band to learn the Guitar from . I had many of their Instrumentals down flat on my Guitar. Then I went Classical and learned to read Music. Tommy and Phil never bothered to Read Music. But when Tommy played in Wollongong, where I grew up, he played The Concerto de Aranjuez by Rodrigo. By Ear. Blown away, I was. The Emmanuel Brother's Parent's Travelled Australia like Mozart's Family travelled Europe. God Bless Mom's and Dad's Feet. Btw.This performance by Phil And Tom is A Medley. A Medley of Melody.

In retrospect I am convinced that Tommy and Phil were world class guitarists --as Tommy has shown . Their symbiotic playing is extraordinary, something that siblings have.

Phil did not want the recognition or the career. He was very different from his brother. Look at them on stage. Tommy shows off. Phil is a cleaner and as fast a flat picker as Tommy. But he doesn’t ape or even walk forward. Tommy is a showman. That is not who Phil was. My brother and I play. We don’t see each other for a couple of years. Yet we can sit down and play together just like we had been doing it everyday. These guys, like my brother and me, played their first notes together.

They spent a lot of time in a car as kids just traveling. The bond is so strong. Talked to Tommy three times for something they called media back then, so pleased that happened. He's a gent when most in music are not. He made Dragon sound more full. Then he conquered the planet, with love. This amazing recording is a testament to all the brothers hard work and immense musicality. Phil could out-rock anyone.

Dayum , I'm almost in tears , I only got hep to Tommy four years ago, knew he had a brother , but didn't know what had happened , I'm absolutely blown away .

I guess you'd call me a Tommy and Phil groupie. Wherever they played in Sydney in the 70's and 80's I'd be there. I first saw Phil play in Gillian Eastoe and King Dog at the Rocks in Sydney. They did a version of Sultans of Swing probably better than the one here. There was even a band they were both in where Tommy played drums (I don't remember the name). And Phil took over from Guy Dickerson in Goldrush and took them to a whole new level. But it was the times they played together that I remember the most. Small pub gigs where there might have been only a hundred or so patrons. They had such an infectious joy about everything they did. Such a huge part of my life. RIP Phil.

Great piece of Australian history right there. You can't learn this stuff.

They were so in tune with each other , don't know how to describe it, just pure music and feeling !

Back in the early 80’s I saw them at one of the pubs in Toowoomba. I was pretty wrecked and was sitting up the front, about 3 feet from them. They told this revolting joke, so I thought I might throw up, and told them so. I have this mental image of them both staring down at me with huge grins on their faces. I didn’t throw up, and the music was great.

The purest form of entertainment, two brothers from the Australian Outback just duking it out on their guitars! Legendary!!!

They were a miracle together. Phil could copy any guitar player. Hearing him play Al DiMeola is wondrous. They would play each other's guitars front to back. Amazing. Phil gone from an asthma attack. Too sad and tragic. He is missed. They had two bodies and one mind when playing together. Incredible. The best pair in the world. Tommy is considered the best acoustic player in the world. Phil who taught him was a monster and the best picker on an electric I have ever seen. The only one that could compare was Danny Gatton and he is long gone. He taught Joe Bonamassa by the way.

@mikmop

They had a residency there for a few months in 1985. I would go to the Greengate Hotel in Killara every week and I made a few audio tape recordings of those shows. I would ask if I could record them, and they were always happy for me to do that. I previously had guitar lessons from both of them, so they knew me. They would even comedically pretend to do a sound check for me just before I switched my walkman on. They would do three 40 minute brackets, and Tommy would do a solo set in the middle bracket. It was like a harbinger of his solo career to follow. Tommy had played in Doug Parkinson's Southern Star band about 6 years earlier (around 1979) and also in "Gold Rush", and also in The Bushwackers 2 years earlier (around 1983) and about 2 years later he would go on to play with Dragon, (around 1987) and after that he would also put together his own solo band. And in between those gigs, he would also do large stints, playing with Phil in the Emmanuel brother's duet. He grew up doing that, so it must have been second nature to him and the cornerstone of his career. I once followed them all the way up the East Coast of Australia, Byron Bay, Lismore, Ballina, etc going to all their shows, and on one occasion when they were opening for the Shadows. Tommy once joked in the introduction to a song, that I'd been to more of their gigs than he had. The last time I saw an Emmanuel Brothers show in was in December 2010 in Sydney, when they were doing the 50 year anniversary tour, across Australia, and in some locations overseas. And I was going to see them again in 2018 where they would be doing an Emanuel brother's gig and also with Phil contributing to a Tommy Fingerstyle 4 day workshop, but sadly that was just before Phil passed away. Had Phil lived, I'm sure they would have been doing Emmanuel Brother's gigs until they were as old as Les Paul or Segovia.

@@petertoluzzi2487 I gave them to a barrister friend of mine, Paul Hedman, to make copies of, and he said he would give them back shortly thereafter. That was about 25 years ago. He's still telling me he will give them back at some point. Maybe he will one day, I dunno. Slackness can be a mysterious thing. If I had them, large portions of them would be on KZread by now, as they offer a really good insight into the progression of Tommy's arranging style. I should have made copies myself, before lendng them out. Tape only lasts for about 30 or 35 years before totally degrading, so at the very least, it would be criminal to not digitally preserve them for that reason alone. I think I may actually have kept one tape, but it's buried in a pile of old cassette tapes. I have moved house few times since then. It was a really good tape, as it had Tommy doing a much longer solo bracket than he normally did. He did the Chet Atkins' version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow in dropped D, which precedes Tommy's own original arrangement in C. The cascading harmonics were note-for-note accurate, according to Chet's arrangement on his album "Chet Atkins goes to the movies". I coincidentally had Chet's songbook to that album with that arrangement notated in tablature, but the album was very hard to find. So Tommy playing it note-for-note was a godsend, in helping me work out that arrangement. I had asked Tommy once in a guitar workshop the bros did a few years earlier, if he would consider doing an entirely solo fingerstyle guitar act, and he said he wasn't sure how commercially viable that would be, as far as pub gigs go. And I think performing at concert halls was probably a distant dream for him at that time. The bros used to do this duet tune called Timbuktu, that sounded like a precursor to Countrywide. And Tommy did some solo tunes that sounded like embryonic versions of tunes he later recorded. It was a funny show, cos he had a bit too much to drink and was telling politically incorrect jokes, lol. Still, when you are in your 20s, you're a totally different person to the person you become when you mature. Hey, are you the D&D Peter Toluzzi by any chance? The one who played Sky's version of Toccata at a party, in the early 80's. You might be someone else, otherwise, it's a small world.
