That guy on the drums is solid as a rock! I bet Phil was pleased with him.

More years ago than I want to remember I had a small sound and lighting company in Sydney and ended up renting out to Digger Revell and doing FOH for him. Tommy was dating Karen Johns who sang with Digger at the time and would come to shows sometimes and sit at the desk with me. People would come over and start on with the Tommy you are the greatest you are amazing better than Clapton etc etc routine. His favorite answer was always, I'm not even the best guitar player in my house.

R.I.P Phil. You will always be remembered as one of greatest musicians Australia ever produced.

2 brothers, 2 genius, 2 nice guys. Thanks to share

He certainly could cause a guitar to cry out......his electric lead was unrivaled in simplicity and clarity with just a touch of shred. Thats why he was the greatest lead guitar player ever

Rip my beautiful kind hearted dear friend. U were a fellow who loved and tried to educate many Aussie children abt the importance of our Australian snakes and repitles as well.. I always told u that u had magic fingers. So sadly missed. Asthma a real b*mmer. See u soon in paradise my darling friend.

Perfect drum rhythm for this rendition.

I first saw him playing in proserpine entertainment hall when i was 8 i used to own the kakadu sunrise cds, he was playing with his daughter and her boyfriend i think at the time, he may have not been a big name world wide but i believe the way he could express himself in his guitar playing could tell a story on its own without any lyrics, any instrumments playing along could only accompany his style of playing, now in my late 20s i saw him in airlie beach music festival which is the last time i saw him before he died, me now a pretty good guitar player myself learnt a few of his songs but that are mere immitations to what this great legend has acheived, australia has lost its best ever guitar player he will be missed by many.

Phil & Tommy are by far the most entertaining and super talented guitarists that I've ever seen in my 81 years on this planet!

I popped over to Phil’s place one night to drop off a demo he was putting some guitar tracks down for in the studio the next day. He put the CD on poured a couple of jacks and Pepsi max and sat down to listen to a G3 video he was jamming along with. A couple of hours later I said I’ve got to bail and I’d pick him up at 11 the next morning, after scaring the shit out of me with his snake collection once again, he got a kick out of seeing the terror on my face every time he tried handing me his beloved reptiles, he said hang on I’ll get that cd for you. I said, no that’s for you to learn the songs for tomorrow. He said, I have, I said bullshit, the CD was played once in the kitchen while we were in the lounge with G3 blaring, chatting, jamming, drinking Jack, you’re deaf as a post and you’ve learned those four song. He picked up his guitar played the four song plus the outline out the parts he was going to play the next day. I then remembered something his brother Tommy said, Phil could be could be watching tv or something hear a dog bark 6 blocks away and tell you what key the dog was barking in. I thought that statement was hyperbolic until that night but Tommy was not exaggerating in the slightest. Needless to say he nailed the four songs in the studio the next day and the engineer offered him a couple of hundred bucks to put some tracks down to another 2 songs he was working on. He listen to the two songs while drinking Jack and telling us a story that had us pissing ourselves laughing, went in and put amazing tracks down to both songs first take. Phil was a genius, a beautiful man and hilarious. RIP Phil you’re missed by many my friend.

What are the odds of two brothers both being absolute virtuosic masters of the same damn skill?? Insane.

R.I.P. Phil Emmanuel

This man is a wonderful wonderful and true musician. Music out today is about a casual sit down with music. Music to pass the time or dance to. The reason musicians like this are not famous is because people have lost the interest for music that makes you sit down face to face with music, which is a shame. The men that acknowledge this and continue into real music none the less are the lead guitarists of their time.

The tone of that guitar is Ridiculous!! Phil was an absolute weapon. Sadly missed

Phil knew all the good notes!

I have followed Tommy for many years, been to more of his shows than I can count, and have been to one of his teaching workshops, but what completely blew me away was when Phil and his band played with Tommy. That show completely blew me away. IT WAS THE VERY BEST SHOW I'VE EVER BEEN TO!!!!! NO BAND has matched that show since. I got to meet Phil after the show. What a fantastic and down to Earth guy. He was very patient in answering ALL of my technical questions. No big ego. Just a very giving, and all around great guy. I really wished he were coming back to my area sometime soon, but he's not.

Amazing.. a guitar tone second to none.

Weapons grade lead guitar playing by guitar player Amazing.... Both him and his brother, Dead Set Legends.

Absolutely AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Phil and your amazing band. Thank you for being at the Blues Fest on the week-end, just love hearing you play. Your music is ssssssssooooooooooo beautiful..

Most underrated guitarist : what a fantastic rendition !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just saw his younger brother in SF for the 8th time....I would really love to see Phil and Tommy together. Who else would Tommy ever play rhythm behind? Talk about respect for family history!

I just can't stop listening to this haunting rhythm and Phil's immaculate guitar. God bless you Phil for leaving us with your unbelievable skills and talent.

Staring around 10:30 there's a series of shred licks that are pheckin' mind bending...talk about phrasing and building tension...wow.

R.I.P. Everybody in the band loved you, because you loved everybody in the band and all around you. You are sorely missed!!! Vey few in history will ever live up to you!! Your spirit will live forever!!!

What a beast this man was.

ONE OF THE GREATEST EVER. RIP FIND PEACE.

Rest in Peace. One of the greatest guitarists, period.

One of the best shows I have seen was Phil and Kevin Borich together many years ago. Met Phil a couple of times, he was a bit of a Sunny Coast legend. And a nice person. RIP.

There's been so many great guitarists & Phil was right up there with the very very best including his brother Tommy . RIP Phil 🎸❤️.

My deepest sympathies to the Emmanuel family. This is a shock to me. I am sooooo sorry. A legend has been lost.

...Sad day we lost Phil, ........... Huge loss ... My thoughts go out to this wonderful family.

My old band naked heart supported him in 97.He actually used my old epiphone les Paul to play one of Gary Moore’s tunes.He was the nicest guy very sorry to hear of his passing.

RIP sir................................ u will always remembered by world.................

RIP mate !! Was so great to do guitar shows with you for 5 years.The world will miss your music !! Cheers bro.

Magnificent. Gone but not forgotten. And never will be when leaving us with such great music. R.I.P. Phil.

Phil and tommy have to be the two greatest guitarists that ever lived, R.I.P phil

I've always been a great fan of Phil and then I find this on the day he died. Wow, it just doesn't get any better. RIP Phil, thanks for the music doesn't seem enough

Wow. Incredible performance. Outstanding!

Genius!

RIP Phil ,,a legend lost ,, jam hard up there mate

Followed the greatest acoustic guitarist the world will see, Tommy Emmanuel, for years. Knew about Phil, seen him as well but thought he was not on the scene any more. Now I have seen the greatest electric guitarist as well - Phil. Such amazingly talented brothers. Australia's gift to the world.

This is incredible! I have seen Tommy twice live in Wales UK and he was mind blowing. I vaguely knew he had a brother and seeing this the first few notes he played made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, just WOW what an amazing musician!

Phil cries or weeps, laughs, sing, play music, jokes with the guitar. He and the guitar are one.

Great production, love the whole band. I’ve gone back to this so many times…wish I could transfer to cd and play sound in my truck

R.I.P. Phil you will be missed

The best.

Dee Why? Northern Beaches? Today Dee Why Tomorrow The World. Divine Guitarist. A gift of Heaven. Worth a Thousand Camera Shots. Btw. Chariots of Fire was a Great Movie. Electrifying.

Thinking of you now Phil, thanks for the music. R.I.P always to be remembered.

How the f**k have I just found Phil, he is immense

i cant stop watching this mate!

Complete and total respect!! Rest in Peace.....you will be missed by many.

Sooo good!

What a tone and emotion! RIP Legend Phil

Enjoy it, its the best you will EVER hear

Vale Phil.....can't get over the great loss upon us and what we will miss from you. muy triste......very sad

One of THE most musical and HORRIBLY under exposed electric guitarists that ever walked the Earth... ...and he appreciated snakes!!! Thanks for all the great music Whiz. Just inspiring like his Bro (please don’t die soon Tommy!!!) and pretty much why I swapped the trumpet for a guitar.

fantastic phil

Damn media I had no idea he died! how tragic, how did it happen. I've been singing praises of the best guitar bros ever for years!

I have only just found Phils music.God have I been missing out.

Epic performance of one of the greatest guitar players!!!

Would love to have a CD of this live show! Wow

Absolute Legend

Absolutely fantastic.....wow. Just wow. So good.....this is so far my favorite guitar performance of all time and I mean it !!!!! I keep watching this over and over again and it just gives me chills....pure magic.

. I STILL WATCH THIS AMAZING????????? NO EVEN CLOSE. EPIC ?????? WOW????? BRILLIANT.

Haven’t listened to this in a while. Forgot how good it was.

Amazing stuff. I've watched a lot of Tommy over the years, but only just had a look at Phil (after seeing him with his bro). He's a revelation!

This music lives , along with Phil

Rip Phil so shocked to hear about his passing seen him played at jonnos blues bar in cairns 90s early 2000s plenty times my fav guitar player in Australia

Breathtaking stuff.....can't believe there hasn't been over a million views by now .

No words, just the best rendition i've heard of this song

That tone! The guitar is singing.!

Wow cool! Surfy sounding!

Amazing live recording

Thanks for the brilliant music Phil.

Made in ČR , super nádhera, překrásné ! Vivat, Bravo, Phil Emmanuel ! Pan nesmrtelný !

A masterpiece. Sorry for Phil Emmanuels sudden death in 2018.

I can't say enough!! I wish he and Jeff Beck would have played together and made a live album. It would have been a masterpiece. along with Eric Clapton a few others.

Been a big fan of Tommy for years. Feel I’ve missed out though only discovering Phil quite recently. Fine guitar player.

RIP mate love ya

Amazing tone!!!!

I only just discovered Phil after watching tommy play, so I started watching some clips. I am a huge guitarist fan with the likes of David Gilmore, Mark Knopfler, Lindsey Buckingham, Prince, Eric Clapton, Hendrix ,Santana. I have to say Phil is right up there and I mean somewhere near the top. RIP mate, sad I’ll never get to witness your greatness live on stage.

PHIL, YOU ARE SORELY MISSED. IM GRATEFUL I GOT TO MEET YOU.

I'm standing on my balcony cheering such a masterful performance!!! Wow!!

That's totally rockin

I love that snare! Great recording btw.

Absolutely brilliant!!

A beautiful performance. RIP Phil. Wonderful recording as well, Guy.

The Best of the Best ,,,P.E & T.E

Not to many top guitarist can play like this gentle man in his days Rip in peace old brother Aussie ledgen

RIP Phil

Wow💥💥better tone than most of the super stars-doesn't matter he's from down under- He rocks🚀🚀

What’s not to like about this? Great guitarist n band , totally brilliant :)

What a shame he is gone so early, he was still young and full of life., go the blade guitar and trademark fender twin turned right up. notice he only has 1 knob on that guitar and its volume often used to get effects and swirls. Phil was Leo Fenders Most Favourite guitarist EVER on planet earth.

Blown away.

RIP to an absolute amazing guitarist
