I've seen him a few times - but he is so good that I'd still go see him if he was in town ...

if I'm coming down anyway I might tag along if I can get a ticket, or I might just sit in a pub getting drunk and meet up with the guys afterwards

Saw Tommy last night, funny, the blonde he was with last time is now his fiance. Way to go Tommy you old dog!

Anyways It was pretty much the same show as the last two times I saw him except everything was embellished x10. I'm no Tommy fanboy so I won't be seeing him again. Tommy virgins and fanboys need to go though, his most passionate perfomance yet, even though I wasn't feeling it, and felt downright embarrassed a few times as he cheesily gurned away. And his 'releasing the energy from the guitar strings out into the audience move' was the icing on the cake really...

The John Mayer clone opening act was quite good though. I would've liked to see more of him. Great voice!

All acoustic set?

Yep. No electric this time. He really worked initiation which is still his best work IMO, getting down on his knees in front of the little AER producing all kinds of wacky feedback. Definately the highlight.
