Albert King’s voice and guitar licks are like butter. Gary plays with pure fire. Put them together and you get perfection. Rest In Peace amongst the legends!
I met Gary a few times , I lived about half a mile from him and used to bump into him in the local shop and fuel station and what a fantastic man , he was always socialble and gave you time to chat . RIP Gary not just a great guitarist but also a great man with a kind soul .
Hi Angel thanks for comment and it was cool . Just up the road was a village with a pub who had live bands with a permanent stage set up in the garden . One evening which I missed George Harrison was there and Gary Moore arrived with his guitar and amp and they got on the stage and did a one off Jam . A part of history I missed . Take care and 2 legends missed forever .
@@chrisbutlersmith9970 Thanks for the reply, Chris. Hate to say it, but you definitely missed a historic gig that evening. And you are probably still kicking yourself to this day about that. Those legends are long gone, but their music will live forever. Cheers!
Most definitely do hun and you must like the blues . If you can check out Larry Miller, he used to play with Gary Moore and has gone down the solo route . He has videos on here but not good quality. He is often touring England 🇬🇧. Check out the dates. Love Chris
This is so hot it burns a hole in your soul! I’ve never seen Gary smile so much, he idolised every note and he and Albert were true soul brothers. Thank goodness we can still enjoy them in this performance, made my day!!
BB once said after a gig with Gary "l think l just played with the best guiter player in the world". These cats dig each otherAlberts got what a lot of what the world needs. Called soul brother. Rip brothers
BB was being his own polite self . He never said anything but good about anyone. I knew his and 2 of his daughters and his 3 grand kids by his daughter Shirley
I was at this show with my brothers , the memories of this performance are still with us 31 years later , great to see it again after all these years ! Phenomenal musicians with a great passion for performing and Gary Moore was up there in the top three of greatest of all time ! RIP Gentlemen, thank you for such thrilling music !
Gary Moore has always a killer sound that I can never heard of anybody who is legendary in guitar. He's tone is so distinctive that you can be sure that if you hear a sounds like that tone and play, You can be sure it's Gary.
You might be right. It saddens me how little of my generation, who grew up on Hendrix and Clapton and the like as the guitar heroes, mostly missed out on Gary. Still Got The Blues video on youtube kills me. Gary and Phil Keaggy are the two best who went underappreciated the most, in my opinion. Keaggy, of course, is still living. If you find the podcast by legendary bassist Leland Sklar, where he plays Keaggy's song "Time," it's interesting how he describes the reverence with which other famous guitarists discussed Phil Keaggy. It's very early in the podcast.
Gary Moore war der beste Gitarrenmusiker wo es je geben hat . Wer ihn jemals live gesehen und gehört hat ist einer der wenigen wo ein Stern gesehen hat auf dieser Erden !
How the hell could anyone ever dislike this? I try to be open minded, and I know there is a crowd for everything, and an opposition for everything as a result. But how the hell could anyone dislike this. Go Gary. RIP brother
Two Giants on the same stage, playing together, having fun...smiling...and sounding awesome, this is not a competition...its just pure eargasm. RIP Heroes
Saw him 3 times. The best blues guitarist I ever saw. No one had as much attack as him, he literally put everything into his performance. His tone, and choice of notes were extraordinary. I remember one live show I saw when he broke a string during the still got the blues solo, he changed the chord structure and carried on. Fast, slow, melodic. One of the greatest dead or alive. His timing and count were immense. The good ones go too soon but we have so much to listen to still. RIP big fella. Legend
That is a perfect way to describe him, he wasn't a slow dynamic blues player, he did everything at 100mph. In some ways him and SRV were similar in their attack. Blues on steroids
Musicians bring what they have. The equipment the tricks and the most important thing the soul and learn from each other to get better and have a good time. No room for judgement or hostile or I'll feelings hell with that animosity some may comment about. No no no Mr. This here the BLUES
Wow!! I had never heard of Gary Moore before today. He was a fantastic guitar player and after seeing him trade licks with the legendary guitarist Albert King he's definitely one of the greatest guitar players I've ever seen. R.I.P to them both🔥🔥
That was truly wonderful. Music is not about competition as to who is the best because there is no answer. To me this illustrated how a really gifted Garry Moore played tribute to his roots and how much he enjoyed playing with one of his influences. Gary was not just a blues player but did some fantastic work with John Hiseman and Colliseum.
I couldn’t agree more, he was a truly gifted unassuming musician who always paid respect to his roots. I was lucky enough to see him play with John Hisemans Colliseum which showed his true versality. Playing any instrument is not a competition, great music is not just being flashy and playing fast. I would give an example of Joni Mitchell.
Also for anyone to say Gary doesn't belong on same stage, look at how much fun Albert is having, proof he did belong there. I'm guessing the haters here never even touched a guitar before.
Deadly, just watched this because my friend sent it to me and we've been texting about how their faces contort while they play, and he said that's because they literally feel the music through their whole body. Give me a like if you agree
I had read, years ago, that Albert said that his favorite guitarists out of the “new cats” were Gary & SRV, so I’m not thinking this is “disrespectful” or “upstaging”, whatsoever.. I’m thinking that this is Albert King smiling & laughing, having a helluva’ time watching Gary Moore detonate sonic nuclear bombs everywhere..
I have heard so many different artists versions iof this song including many other performances by Albert King. They were great, however these two artists togeather blow them all off the map. You can see how much Gary and Albert connect and take this old Mississippi delta blues song to another dimension. Just Fabulous!!!!!
I was lucky enough to attend this concert at Hammersmith back in 1990..yessss 28+ years ago...but this show highlight ...probably the stand-out number on the evening I think..still remains firmly in my memory as one of the greatest 12 bar blues tracks I have ever heard... with two great guitarists who do not compete but who I believe actually compliment one another perfectly. I was saddened at the subsequent loss of both artists to the music world and will miss them greatly. I just hope that the powers to be will recognise and appreciate Gary Moore's and Albert King's contributions by releasing the whole of this VHS concert recording on a DVD soon. Music can live without the world BUT the world cannot live without music! RIP Gary & Albert
Yeah I saw SRV, BB King, Dr John Joe Cocker all on stage together once right before Stevie got killed. The best show ever. Also saw Johnny Winter and John Lee Hooker together. Those are nights you remember forever.
I only got to see Gary once and that was in 1978 (from memory) when he played at Hammersmith Odeon with Thin Lizzy. That's where i first heard of him. He brought out an album around that time 'Back on the Street Again'. A monster of an album which really turned me on to his brilliant playing.
Albert King and Gary Moore,what a performance this was.God bless you both,keep playing them blues to the Angels above,because we will never stop playing them here for you.R I P Sadly missed.
I almost hate to admit this but I'm not sure that prior to these videos I had ever heard of this amazing guitarist Mr Gary Moore. Damn! This man could play! He reminds me so much of Mr Hendrix. What an amazing guitar player.
People who say there's disrespect aren't guitar players. There's no disrespect here. It's a matter of passing that torch. Ask any guitarist--Gary's done his homework and studied the greats.
@@subratomukherjee8339 old thread but, if you watch Gary with BB king, he played blues, with Albert somehow his shredder Thin LIzzy roots came out, thank God he didn't have a Floyd on that guitar. Totally agree not a blues player that night
Blues is a free expression and can be played however the musician wants to play it. Matters not if the guitar is distorted or not. That’s RIDICULOUS! There’s many different kinds of blues. All you pure-ests STOP! trying to put music in a box. All American music came from Gospel. Blues, jazz, all different kinds of rock, funk, rhythm and blues. And all that happened because people experimented and expressed themselves however they wanted. Art is a creative process. If you have to follow some guideline or some genre or some pure form then you are no longer being creative. You’re just copying what somebody else already created. Albert King was sitting in with Gary Moore. Obviously Albert King wasn’t offended by Gary’s playing or he would’ve never sat in with him.
@@dannyomar8818The old school blues players didn't have fuzz pedals, they cranked up little amps to overdrive them. That's the first form of distortion. Music follows the technology. The term "true blues" is really undefinable
I was lucky enough to see both of these guys. Albert King at a small club in Campbell California probably in the late 70's, and Gary Moore with Thin Lizzy in 1977 at Winterland in San Francisco, opening for Queen. Both shows were spectacular. I feel so privileged to have seen them. It doesn't get better than that.
Gary his biggest hero was Albert. You can hear in the frases of Gary's solo's and also alot of Gary's albums are filed with Albert his songs. Without Albert there was no Gary. So here is no fight going on, but deep respect from both.
Nobody needs to forgive you my brother because I think you're right I was turn 63 I've heard this music most of my adult life and you can't find much better today then Gary Moore except maybe Eric Clapton
I love how the King is blown away by Gary, looking at his gutar like "what have you been hiding from me, ya naughty gurl???" A flying V in his hands!!!!! Long live the Kings and Randy Rhoads and RIP to Gary and y'all who needs it ✌️
As an influencer teacher your proudest moments are when your students gets it no competition here rather admiration two completely different players Gary moore is a blues rock player with flashy melodic lines where Albert king is a savy note selector with blues power Albert king can with one note say so many things where Gary has to play 20 for same feeling two complete different players = 1 amazing performance God bless them both LONG LIVE THE BLUES!!!!!
Albert isn't some feeble old man here! When you play with the greats you bring your A - game as gary did. The disrespect would have been if he'd toned it down. Albert knew exactly what he'd get here. It's two different generations jammin together! I could listen all day - amazing feel from Albert and Gary defines searing guitar!
I had the chance to see Gary Moore on stage in Paris in 1987. In my opinion, it is the worthy heir of American black blues. What a pleasure to see these 2 great bluesmen together on stage.
I saw SRV on stage with BB King and it was the same. I think Stevie blew him away but he wasn't being disrespectful. Just having a blast with his childhood hero. That being said, I think Gary was one of the best who ever picked up a guitar. I play with some kids now who had never heard of him until I turned them onto him. Now they understand. The people who gave this a thumbs down are just jealous that they don't have talent like these two.
