I have been a musician for 60 years (bass) and I've heard many of the greats live - Jimi Hendrix, BB Kind, Jeff Beck and many more and IMHO - Gary Moore is the greatest guitar player that ever lived and this is the greatest guitar performance ever recorded. His performance is flawless - every single note - even those in his lightening fast runs are chosen in absolute perfection and performed perfectly.
Wonderful comment! I have a whole crowd of friends who agree with you 100%. And just imagine that sick-ass Rollin' Stone didn't even put him in their top 100! Pitiful! Thank you for that comment. Lil
Best guitarist ever. Period. You can trust me on this. Next please react to "Parsienne Walkways Live Montreux 2010" , "Empty Rooms live at Stockholm" and "The Loner Live in Stockholm 1987".
Soy fan de Gary Moore desde 1983 cuando escuche su disco Corridors of Power. Es un guitarrista sumamente preciso y emocional. Tocaba blues o rock en forma excelente.
Gary Moore's father bought him his first guitar and it had heavy gauge strings, so GM practiced and inadvertently built up the strength in his fingers. When he then used lighter strings he found he could manipulate the string way more thus producing his unique sound. RIP Gary still the best.
Also what a lot of people don't know is that Gary was in fact left handed. Because that first guitar was a right handed one, Gary thought that he was meant to learn it that way. Therefore of course he bent the strings with his strongest hand. 6th February approaches, R.I.P Gary. 😊😎🎸🇬🇧🇺🇦
Thick or thin strings has nothing to do with this performance, it is played on the Green and it has a sound of it's own that no other guitar has because it's not correctly buildt.......it has a reversed magnet in the upper pick up and the pick up itself is mounted the wrong way after it was repaired by a guy that didnt know what he was doing in England at some point wich created this special sound.....
@@MrKveite1 A reversed magnet will NOT affect the individual sound of the pickups - at least not until they are switched to be both live, when they will be out of phase with one another. However I do agree the guitar sings like a prince - not least because of the giant guitarist is playing it.
Well read what is done to the Green and tell the guy that repaired it that you know better than him then and gl winning that argument sir.@@colineastwood1357
It's always been difficult to decide which is better in this amazing piece: The time changes. The scale runs. The decibel runs. The internal tuning. Intertwining of several different genres into this fabulous piece. The classical pauses and other movements heard almost uniquely in classical. After thinking about it, It's all of those and more that he does that makes this one of the best pieces ever. And GW the greatest guitarist ever. Jeff Beck was a master of different and new sounds on the guitar, but playing is all GW at the top spot.
You know that you have watched a Master when you watch/listen to a Ten Minute instrumental and think it's too short. R.I.P. Gary. You are sorely missed.
What can you say? There is Chopin... There is Rembrandt... (Funny how well the "Night Watch" (De Nachtwacht) underlines this video just below Gary's performance)... There is Leonardo Da Vinci... There is Pele.... And yeah.... There is Gary Moore! Masterful in his hard rock/heavy metal time, but for me the maestro when he turned into the blues. His songs tear me up. Straight away! This one included. And it must be. Because when an artist reach the status of All Being, his work must be playing your emotions. Been to his concert in the last century, decades ago, in Rotterdam Ahoy in the early 90's. Got all his CD's. I have a very broad interest and love for music all over the world. But Gary Moore (may he please G above with his heavenly guitar and voice, sorting out His feelings over us and the universe), is my top 5 all time favourite artist. He is the reason why my favourite headphones are from Sennheiser. Also for decades. My favourites? Parisienne Walkways and The Sky is Crying from the live album "Blues Alive" 1992. But all the others are awesome as well. Thank you for posting this. I genuinely look forward to your Gary Moore journey...
Gary Moore was the finest guitar player that ever lived in my opinion - why ? What you just reacted to is a prime example,but mainly because he was so diverse at whatever genre he was involved with,and hell - the man could sing as well. For decades I'd always rated Duane Allman from the Allman Brothers Band as the best,but then Derek Trucks also from the Allman Brothers Band and Tedeschi Trucks Band came along,and I rated him above Duane. But always in the background was Gary Moore,and in the past few years I've really re-evaluated what each guitarist brought to the table,and hands down,the more I watched and listened to Gary Moore,the more obvious it became - he was the true master of the fret boards. Many out there will say what about SRV (not a fan),Jimmy Page,Hendrix,Clapton (like some of his stuff,but over-rated), Van Halen ? They're all talented as hell,no doubts,but in MY opinion, Gary Moore rises above them all - he never really got the kudos or acknowledgement that he deserved whilst he was alive,but that's what makes him appeal to me more. Been a fan of his for 50 years now,and it isn't gonna stop.
I heard Gary do this one as the last encore back in 1990 and he played with such passion, emotion and with lots of improvisation! A true memory for life.
Beautiful. He was truly a wizard on the guitar. Watch the old videos of the band Thin Lizzy. You see a very young Gary Moore playing the guitar and Phil Lynott the bass and vocals. Gary was a clever guy those days. He left the band in the middle of a tour. Because he was fed up with all the drug abuse in the band. He is and was a true guitar artist, who wanted to perform at his best all the time. Nice reaction btw.
great reaction brother Gary very underrated, I've seen him twice and been blown away twice. great reaction to a great. you should check out him and b b King doing thrill is gone man 2 legends thriving off each other. all power to you brother ✊️👍🏴 Scottish fan
I’m super happy that you were exposed to Gary Moore. He’s an amazing musician and so expressive, and I love how much you enjoy and appreciate him. Down the rabbit hole, lol. Keep reacting, I’ve just subscribed and look forward to watching the journey we will help you with.
gary is the player with the most feel i ever saw.i have seen all the shreders of the 80"s and he is as good as any of them and one of the small handfull of the best of all time
I loved your reaction to it, it was similar to mine when i first heard it. If i could recommend this video > (Gary Moore - Parsienne Walkways Live Montreux 2010..RIP...the last and the best version RIP Gary) < that is thr youtube title of the vid and probably the last performance i think he may have done, and it could be the best live performance i have seen from him. He is still to this day my favorite guitarist.
I grew up listening to this man,he is amazing from his day in Thin Lizzy. His solo work is also amazing. Check out his End of the World album. Or his blues albums.
You watch a Joe Bonamassa vid because a lot of people on youtube says u need to watch this amazing guitarplayer and after that you watch this and after 30 sec you go Joe WHO.........
Dude, this guy is the shit!!!........i mean, Gary play SOUL blues, rock, jazz, metal and he SHREDD like a champion!!!.........Really, fak the rest, Gary is the only one that can do it that make your hair stand out i the way like - whata fak is this?!!!!!!!!!.........RIP
Kirk Hammett has this guitar “Greeny” now…paid over a million for it…best sounding guitar ever made…the way it was wired was wrong but it made an incredible tone
I feel the same way you do. I have just discovered Gary in the last 6 months. He played with George Harrison While My Guitar Gently Weeps just before George died. I am 72 years old and from the USA. There are people I didn't know existed. He played in Skid Row and Thin Lizzy. When it comes to blues he has no rival. Not SRV, Jimmy- nobody. Have you ever heard a long guitar only solo that could hold your interest like this. Lynyrd Skynyrd's Free Bird is great but is too long. I could listen to Gary for a long time.
An interesting fact is that hes muting the strings with his hands just as much as hes playing them. the guitar runs so hot it's starting to make feedback noise just by looking at it, literally .
Fantastic reaction well come to Gary a true legend many great songs to do 1 for your list Jimmy Barnes ( stone cold) ft Joe bonnamassa epic many thanks love and respect from the UK 👍👍👍👍👍👍🌟😀😀 amazing 👍
Second only to SRV…and imo Gary’s tone was much better than Stevie’s….if only SRV had put a Les Paul in his hands…but that wasn’t him, and I’m glad he did it his way
Stevie Ray was a one trick pony. He himself admitted in an interview he couldn't perform jazz. All he knew was blues/blues rock. Gary Moore mastered many styles and could freely improvise in them. For what it's worth, I think Moore was better in blues too than SRV.
OMG you havent done any thin lizzy reactions??? How can a quo fan never have heard of gary moore... Parisian walkways.... Empty rooms... FFS man catch up ;)
