Gary Moore ''Separate Ways'' (HQ live from London 1992,with extended guitar intro ) 

Some infos for the guitar geeks among us: The guitar used here is *NOT* the famous Peter Green '59 L/P which is now owned by Kirk Hammett of Metallica. This guitar here,is the other original '59 L/P that Gary owned,nicknamed ''Stripe'' AKA the ''Still Got the Blues L/P'' . You can tell them easily apart from the pickups,the ''Greenie'' has covered humbuckers,the ''Stripe'' has uncovered PAF's. Check out the video of Gary & B.B. King, playing ''Thrill is Gone'' from the same concert, on that song Gary plays the ''Greenie'' . According to an interview with Gary's old tech on Guitarist magazine, this guitar here was re-fretted with extra big jumbo frets, because the original frets where completely worn down and also the tuners where changed to Grover locking machine heads. Pickups are still original Gibson P.A.F's and he never mentions anything about any reversed neck pickup, on the ''Stripe'', only the ''Greenie'' and some Gibson custom shop replicas of it, that Gibson made for him, did have it. This guitar is now owned by Gary's son,Jack Moore who is also a musician.

The finest electric guitarist that ever walked planet Earth.

I just lost my beautiful wife of almost 53 years, she loved this song as do I.I miss her dearly, the best woman on earth.

There will be a majority of people on this planet that will never understand how perfect this is.!!!🎸🎸

Gary Moore has got to be one of the greatest guitarists, ever.

3.3 million views as of today. Not sure who the other 14 people are who watch this video, but I'm going in again... it eases my pain for 12 minutes at a time.

he didn't even start singing and I'm already smiling through tears...

The dynamics here are heartbreaking ,soul in every note,and his vocals are so good too,its a slice of heaven,sadly missed ,a great spirit,wore his heart on his sleeve.

Gary Moore and SRV has taken blues music to another level... RIP Gary

The intro of this song is one of the best improvised intros I have ever heard. Music is just pouring out of him. It's amazing...

In my opinion, this is best live performance of Gary Moore

This is an absolute masterclass, and anyone who doesn’t think so should leave RU-vid forever.

Has always been one of my favorite Gary Moore performances. Even the keyboard player sheds a tear at 5:01 from Gary's perfect bends.

Gary Moore is one of the rare few guitarists who had major chops and the ability to play rippingly fast, but also could play the most soulful shit imaginable. Usually it's one or the other - he had it all and then some, and this song is the perfect demonstration of his full range of guitar mastery.

7:12 minutes of soulful solo and then he starts singing!!! Gary Moore is 💗. This has got to be one of the best live performances !!! That's how a Les Paul is played!!!

One of the most beautiful versions I've ever heard..RIP Gary Moore

Anybody who watches this performance and imagines there's someone else out there who can play this many genres in one piece, and play hard and fast, soft and bluesy, and mesmerize the listener for 12 minutes better get to hitting that search button, because I don't believe anybody with this much talent exists. Add to that his wonderfully sexy, bluesy voice. The greatest ever! That's all you can say.

I have to believe Les Paul knew that someday there would be a Gary Moore.

Gary, was highly under rated in the mainstream. He, was one of the best electric guitarist that ever lived on this planet, we miss you Gary.

I find myself constantly coming back to this video. As a guitarist, there is so much to learn from this. The guitar really was an outlet Gary’s emotions. RIP, Gary.

Every time that I watch him, it confirms it for me, the absolute best guitarist I’ve ever heard or seen. He felt every little part of the strings and lyrics. True Artistry

This song is a masterpiece.

Tell a story on your guitar, let your fingers do the talking, and by all means let Gary Moore show you how.

During this intro ( the best EVER by the way) he is playing lead lines, accompanying himself with wonderful jazz chords and riding the vol control between each phrase, just genius, unsurpassed... and underrated !!!

The master of melody, improvisation, phrasing, and tone. Moore is in his element when he is free to emote. Personally, Moore is at his best when combines jazz elements and melody. That is complimented by his fiery staccato runs. It's no small wonder musicians such as Eddie Van Halen and Randy Rhoads made it a point to attend his live shows. I don't think Gary ever played a scripted note in his life!

you can`t get this stuff no more! Never be another like him.

That tone instantly cures my anxiety

I was very lucky to see Gary live in Liverpool ,I walked out of the concert just amazed at what I had seen !!! The man was just a genius on his 🎸 guitar!!!! One of the best guitarists ever to walk the earth Rip sir!

Пронёсся, как метеорит, оставив после себя Великое наследие гениальной музыки. Вечная тебе память Гари...

The smoothness of that transition from the opening solo to the song itself is something to behold.

Without singing, his guitar playing could tell a story and touch your soul. You can feel heartbreak in his music.....even without the words. Just makes you want to cry. We've all felt that kind of hurt. He expressed it with every note.

Ten thousand subs, but well over three million views, testament to the greatness of Gary Moore.

He never fails to amaze me, regardless of how impressed I already am by his exceptional guitar skills

Today marks 6 years since the passing of Gary Moore the greatest guitarist the world has ever seen. No child was ever more delighted to receive his first guitar than Gary Moore, he played it all day, every day, he took it everywhere with him, and became so `as one` with his instrument, that he could reach peoples souls by playing from his soul. Gary Moore who played with a `feel` like no other guitarist R.I.P

These beautiful things happens when a guitar player put all his soul into the guitar... and Gary had a immense soul. We will miss you Gary, rest in peace...

Huge credit to gary, a entertiner, and not a pretender.

I really think Gary Moore was one of the greatest guitarists the UK ever produced. So brilliant as a technical player and wow what a superb voice and the kindness of a saint. So massively underrated in his time! Rest in peace Gary you will live for ever through you superb music!

Un-fuckin believable. .....His touch...tone....and phrasing. ....BADASS.....

Great Vocalist .... Unbelievable Arrangement... Amazing Feel ...Control, Tone, And Vibrato... An Absolute Virtuoso ...The Best...

Robert William Gary Moore, was in a class of his own! One of the greatest guitarists ever! Gone way too soon. RIP Gary Moore❤🎸

Simply superb ! (Der Wahnsinn,Unglaublich,Nur genial..einfach Wunderbar!!) Best version from "Seperate Ways"!! Love this concert! Original on VHS, made a copy for me .now on DVD! It´s always amazing,when `I´m lookin´ concerts from Gary Moore and also Rory Gallagher... Two masters... with a too short life on this planet...so tragic... For me, this concert, in "music", much better than all Montreaux gigs! R.I.P. Gary,Rory....I miss both very much... Greetings from Germany to all Gary Moore & Rory-Fans!

I can honestly say in all 26 years of my life, blues has never appealed to me. Until I watched Gary Moore, now I'm hooked.

Every time I watch this video still gives me goose bumps what a performance rest in piece Gary we miss you

To have been lucky enough to see him live. All I can tell you is ..God spoke thru Gary that nite. And the Messiah did come again. RIP Gary this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.

GARY MOORE is a giant in the art of guitar playing, his place is secured, future generations will hear the unique and inimitable 'feel' in his playing and realise he was the best of his era.

Couple of things the "modern" guitarists will never have : Melody and Soul,awesome voice and just a badass haircut !!!

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!! THANK YOU GARY MOORE, MAY YOU REST IN PEACE, GONE TO SOON, BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN🎸🕊✝💔

Best guitar I've ever heard. I've had to wipe my eyes a few times from listening to him. Unbelievable feeling in his music

What a wonderful dreamy sounding player Gary was. I saw him in 1990 and never found a better guitar player in my opinion, than Mr. Gary Moore and I can thank him for myself being a better listener and more open minded to all blues players with just a touch of his magic, including myself. Thank you Mr. Moore

It's my loss for not discovering Gary Moore sooner. What a talent...so much emotions in his voice. RIP

A true master. So sad that the best things in life are taken from us. Miss you Gary Moore.

Was für ein Meisterwerk.❤🙏🙏❤

Gary Moore ❤ had so much feeling in his playing, in my opinion... I never heard, someone with so much Heart ❤️ Soul and fire 🔥 and emotional feeling ❤❤❤ always remember eternal memory ❤️ 🙏

Love how he rolls the volume knob back and brings it in for some swells in gain, not just volume. 👏🏻

So much soul, control and beautiful dynamics in his playing. One of biggest inspirations.❤

I keep coming back to this.. for me the greatest ever intro to a blues tune I've heard ..so far..

Gary you were the god of guitar but the world never fucking woke up!

My first Gary Moore album was "Victims of the Future", and I was floored the moment I heard "Shapes of Things". Then he returned his focus of attention back to the Blues, and I was floored once again. Gary was an extremely gifted and talented individual who never really received the widespread recognition he deserved. It seemed as if I'd always get a "Gary who?" reply, every time I mentioned his name, and it would piss me off to no end that more people didn't have a clue. I'm just thankful these videos are here to showcase Gary's musical wizardry and pass along to those deprived souls.

This song is like an emotional explosion and...- it gave my heart and my soul peace by this great music. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, Gary ... for that special song !!

This intro is by far the best one in the blues rock history. Pure poetry.

2021 and this is still one of the greatest intro solos I've heard, this is one of the best sounding LPs around, in later years when he switched over to his new signature LP, it didn't sound that good anymore.

RIP Mr Moore, I know it has been a while. . Without you there would be no point. No appreciation of a master at work, Vocals of distinction. And Dexterous Digits that amazed and fascinated every guitar player . A human being who played with Philip Paris. As 28 years of Philip Paris Lynott passes, I think of you as well Miss you XX

Gary Moore is a genius, truly gifted from a Higher Power! He exquisitely demonstrates his genius in every note, trills, riffs, in the most powerful and emotional orchestration a musician could deliver to his audience . And the best payoff for any musician is what he is feeling he communicates through his music and his audience gets the message. Make no mistake about it Gary Moore completed his mission to the world through his music! I can only say am honored to be among the honored. and to this day I have a heavy heart and miss him more than he will ever know. RIP

my one is favorite song from Gary! Best live intro! from Russia whith love!

its so sad this concert was never released on CD or Vinyl. This is the baddest ass version of this song ive heard ANYWHERE

People don't know how lucky they were too see a live performance by this man... Simply the BEST !!!

Maybe Gary Moore didn't get the exposure here in the states that a lot of other guitarist received but it doesn't change the fact that he had absolutely no equal. Those of us who are fans of the guitar know and appreciate this. From his early days playing rock with Thin Lizzy to his transition into the Blues in his solo career there is no one who can hold a candle to him. What makes this even more remarkable is the fact that he was a wonderful singer as well. The world will never see another like him

Imagine being there???? Gives me chills !! Perfection.

Not only a brilliant guitarist but also a very underrated singer .love this track sadly missed by the all . RIP

12 minutes of proof that a soul can not be lost or vanish. RIP Gary...

Look I've seen and heard hundreds of guitarists.... Some of the best, Gary moores talent was extraordinary, the ability to play exceptionally fast whilst playing with so much feeling and emotion is a very rare talent which Imho sets him apart

Caught Gary live in Oxford, wow, what a night! I feel so priveledged to have seen the man in person... Rest in peace Gary!

No Artist on earth puts more Emotion into his Strings than Gary Moore did, he left too soon

OK, I’ll fucking say it “Greatest performance ever by anyone anywhere, Gary Moore is the greatest musician who’s ever lived “ I’ll die on that hill! Fight me...

I love this song but I love the added guitar work more. Gary was truly a master of his craft. RIP Gary Moore.

What is it that you want from me? I really wish I knew. I try so hard to do my best, but it's not good enough for you. Over and over again we will make the same mistakes. Over and over again there's a feelin' I just can't shake. Is it time to go our separate ways? Is it time to go our separate ways? You know I need your love so bad. Can't you see what you do to me? I try so hard to understand, but the truth's never plain to see. Is it time to go our separate ways? Is it time to go our separate ways? Time after time we will try to understand. I don't know where we went wrong, but there's no use in…

Not many people can wrench the soul out of a guitar but Gary Moore was definitely one of them❤

The most under-rated talent music has ever seen. Could do it all. Sing, write and play to the highest order. Never seen a clip I didn't like.

I took Gary Moore for granted when he was alive, as you do with all your musical heroes in your formative years. Now that he's gone I really appreciate his playing. Skid Row, Colloseum, Lizzy, solo work covering rock, blues, jazz. He really was a one-off.

my father showed me this kind of music,everythime i listen to this artist i think how paintful i´ll be when hes not gonna be here. he just adores gary and so do i, at least i know, with this music ill be able to keep him alive, forever!love u dad!

MY GOD!!! Gary Moore what a player, this track is beyond excellent! He takes the guitar and blues to level which feeds your soul !! Play on Gary in heaven! Your greatly missed!

One of my favorite guitarist... so much energy and power in its play, and tone control, and vibrato .... thanks Gary .

I’ve seen this performance so many times. It’s absolutely hauntingly beautiful.

Gary,for me the best Guitar player of all time

i come back to this video every month, and always discover a new detail of this live masterpiece of his. Like when he is going to sing looking at the keybord guy to hit the note or when he make these artificial harmonics whit the pick smiling to the band like it's an inside joke. I wish one day play like he played back then.

If more folks would spend their time just enjoying music than wracking their brains trying to determine who's better than who or this guys the greatest or this solo is better than that one we would all be much more content, Music is not a competition, sure some performances are more inspired than others you cant be perfect or the same each time you play a composition nor would you want to. . All musicians have their own path & offer what's inside them, Most of us that play tend not to dwell on who's better than who, we all have our favorites & don't need to box ourselves in to that dead end street. Just enjoy it as much as those who are making it. Gary was one incredible player & a favorite of mine I don't need to compare him too Jimi, or anyone else as I constantly see going on at a fevered pitch. Just listen & enjoy what you like.

Gary, is one of the musicians who should be immortal.

He could make his guitar sing, to me he played with so much emotion.

The best guitar playing on RU-vid, dynamics, feel, tone, what a massive loss he was, sleep tight Gary, I think about you always!

One of the best guitarist..RIP GARY MOORE

this is the song from his humble heart....he played it with deep feeling....especially intro

His talent was beyond mere human capabilities. A true maestro that enriched all our lives.

The undisputed king of the Les Paul. RIP Gary Moore🥲

love how creative a player Gary was, from 5.15 to 6.55 he is throwing so much in the way of different styles in there yet it fits with the blues and overall mood of the song, its not show boating, its heartfelt and emotional, that's what made him so great.

I was 8 years old when this was awesomeness was happening ... Gives me chills to think about this ...

Deep Celtic guitar hero, up there with the greatest ever. Love this technique miraculous speed and Irish emotion, Gary you danced on this earth for so short a time, we all love you and salute you, I think really you were the best, God bless the musical legacy you have given us, you move all our heart strings, you give us a reason to live and love, you are a guitar God. So I salute you this winter evening in NORWAY, thinking of all the loves in my life, you give meaning to the turbulence that we men experience when things do not work out, but another time another place, it could have been different.... Such is the tapestry of our lives, our loves, our families, our reason for living, our souls. Big thank you, you guitar God! Alex in Hamar, NORWAY, January 2017.

His use of those volume knobs is where dynamics come into play. All the greats roll back and roll forward to slam

that intro is gold

Gary was at the top of his game back in 92 and his talent never decreased, rather it grew and improved with time. And I loved to watch his facial expressions cause you could so tell how much he was into what he was doing. He was a joy to watch and a joy to listen to.

Thanks Gary showing us that we all go through situations like we're one person ❤ God Bless you.
