I've been a musician for over 55 years and I've never heard another guitar player/singer, that can come close to Gary Moore in his passion, skill on the guitar and impeccable taste and delivery.
It is so great to see Gary's Incredible talent/passion for his instrument being discovered by another generation....RIP to one of the most talented of all time
Ah.. maybe we stood next to each other! I saw him about 6 times at different venues... so... Marquee.... what 1994? I may be wrong on that.... But I know I was front and center and very drunk..... Although it was the most remote performance I saw of him, the best one I saw was at Wembley Arena. Yes, a little too large, and the "connection" was lost. But he lit up. It was crazy. Absolutely loved it. Thats the same place I saw Metallica set fire to themselves. Also very entertaining....
@@damightyshabba439I see him several times, all during the eighties, I saw him a couple of times at the original Marquee in Wardour Street, his album Corridors of power when it first came out had a free live single of Parisienne walkways with it that was recorded at the Marquee on one of the nights I was there!
@@kenhewitt7357 Whoa! - Thats very much on the cool side! Yes, I was a regualuar at the Wardour Street Marquee whay back when - the only reason I raise this next bit is to figure out if maybe we rocked together - so... I saw GM on his After The War tour (1987, I think) then many times after. In 1987 I was 13/14. But I had just come into a reasonable sum of money, and would take a couple of friends to the Marquee every night after school. (so obviously, no money left! and no friends when the cash dried up) At the time I was a fairly ok guitarist, with a skill for maintenance and hardware. The Black Crows road crew offered me a slot on their tour when they did the acoustic gig at Ronnie Scotts - I picked up on a warped neck on a guitar, told the roadie, he told me to FRO, then realised I was right... offered me a job across the Euro leg. Guess who shut that down? My parents. 15 years old. And I failed all my exams anyway..... But yes from 1986-1994ish I was in a club, somewhere in London pretty much every night, and the Marquee was very much the club of choice. (I could get home from there even when the trains stopped running). If you stayed to the end of the gig at Wembley... no getting home. Green Park was the maximum, then it was a very expensive cab or try to find room - imagine a 15/16 year old knocking on doors at 1/2am looking for a room back then!!!! Some how I was never attacked.... On the "being cool" side of things you can hear me on the Black Crows acoustic EP and I am in the gatefold 12" of Skidrows I Remember You. I was in various rock magazines, but only because my best friend was a rock journalist, and dragged me along to various events. All very minor stuff = but excellent memories ;)
@@damightyshabba439 yeah great memories of back then, I lived in South London (Earlsfield) near Wimbledon and used to go to most of the rock clubs around London, the Clarendon at Hammersmith, the Chelsea drug store, the Jazz club at Kensington to name but a few, moved into Kent in the nineties and was working hard to pay my mortgage so didn't get to London so often from about 92.
@@kenhewitt7357 Hehehe... sounds like I took up your baton mate! Born in Clapham, Raised in Brixton, Grew up in Reigate (parents got posh). Most of my working life was in Croydon. Oh, just remembered - somewhere between Clapham and Brixton I was in Stockwell. Where i stole a car from a police station for a bet..... ahhhh - those were the days! hehehe. And yes, your maths is right - I was 10... Never had a mortgage - never settled down. Paid rent until I couldn't and then moved on. Now I'm in Spain and looking to move to Chile (northern) soon. But I've lived in Greece, Cyprus, France, Portugal.... I've been in Spain since 2008. It's fair to say I am a rouge spirit! Just out of interest - do you remember a pub I think off Oxford street - The Fox? Or something very similar.... we always went there, got drunk - usually with the band that was playing the Marquee that night, hit MacD's on the way and went to the gig. It was THE backstreet heavymetal pub - stroll in any time and rock legends were scattered around. I can't remember the name, but something to do with a fox.
Too F'n good Gary! Too F'n good! This track is smooth and hardcore it's a damn masterpiece and my number 1 song of all time. And my number 1 favourite guitarist! The control is epicly insane!
Many years back, I did some vocals for Gary in London and he was a wonderful, caring human being as well as being able to make a Gibson sound incredible with his unbelievable skills. He is still very sorely missed. R.I.P Gary.
Superb man one of the very best, now listen to and watch Lynard Skynard Live at Knebworth, playing Freebird, they went on before The Rolling Stones as a support band, they should have been the whole show, stay safe P.J. from UK.
The king of the Rock-Blues. Master of Ballad & Blues. Playing the guitar with feeling, passion and soul. RIP Gary. Incredibly, Billboard magazine does not include him among the 100 best rock guitarists. Gary should be in the top 10
You want to hear something Awesome from Gary Moore. His cover of Jimi Hendrix's Red House. THE MOST AWESOME TRIBUTE ONE COULD GIVE. LIVE, WILL BLOW YOUR MIND. I PROMISE !!! 😁💗🤘
That’s his so called signature song, a great piece of music. There are many versions of it, from about 6 minutes to an about 12 minutes. This one here is great, but you should try the what happened to be one of his last concerts version of 2010 at the Jazz Montreaux Festival, a superb and I think the longest version of it with a great back and forth of the crowds reaction! You’d be even more astonished by this version for sure! RIP Gary!!
Got to love the blues, so much soul in that music. Gary Moore is sadly gone but we still can enjoy the great talent of Joe Bonamassa who also plays a great blues guitar.
That’s Gary Moore as a guitarist. Playing with feeling. And always melodic. With his fast notes,slow notes,held notes,tension notes. His incredible vocals. Rock,Progressive Rock( Collosium 2), Blues. One of greatest musical artists of all time.
The track that sold me a Les Paul! A pretty reasonable Tanglewood version that's still going strong. Bought it from a mate of a mate having seen him play this on it. Still love the way a Les Paul works. Still think this is one of the greatest guitar tracks ever made.
Tanglewood less Paul's are excellent guitars. Gary wrote with such passion it poured from him, songs like still got the blues and Parisienne walkways to name but a few. Been a fan of Gary since coloseum 2 and lizzy the world became a lot darker the day we lost this great man
Playing the guitar of Peter Green. Another guitarist that bares checking out. Glad you are checking out the underappreciated guitarist of the past. Gary was one of the best.
Great reaction!! Much love from Ireland 🇮🇪 I see you have stumbled upon Rory Gallagher too, I would highly recommend tattoo lady from Rory, and another Irish band Thin Lizzy - Cowboy Song is an epic one, you will love the two lead guitars, Gary Moore also played with Thin Lizzy, Lizzy, Moore and Gallagher were all pretty close and knew each other very well
Gary is one of the top 10 guitarist of all time. Some of the tones, bending the strings ,his speed in changing time from fast to slow and back to fast and his blues sound is very much like Santana.
Yes I like so much and he is one of the best guitarist players of blues/rock but the best guitarrist ever TOP 1 is Paco de Lucia.(flamenco/blues/jazz) For all of them( Gary, santana, Steve Vai, Satriani, Hendrix, Beck, clapton,slash ) said Paco is the best.
Gary had a face for the radio hahaha Lucky him, got famous for his beautiful sound and mad live performance skills before everything became TV first and social media first. In my opinion he was a true musical genius =)
Glad you liked this , another British artist you could try is Be Bop Deluxe , Bill Nelson is the axe man recomended Adventures in a Yorkshire Landscape - beautiful solo
Master of vibrato was Peter Green the Brit who formed Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac. He was known as the Green God & liked to make every note mean something & believed less is more. His guitar was known as the Greeny which Gary Moore bought from him & I believe an American artiste now has it. Gary & Peter were friends. Check out Peter Green's Black Magic Woman, Man of the World, Oh Well 1& 2, Green Manalishi with the Two Pronged Crown, instrumental Albatross, all of which Peter wrote & produced, but fame didn't sit well with Peter
@@stubmandrel Thanks for the suggestion, but have already heard it & it's absolutely superb. It was Peter's own instrumental composition when with John MayaIl's Bluesbreakers, which completely won over Eric Clapton's fanbase, when he left the band for the second time for good, to start Cream & Peter replaced him both times. I'm of the same generation of Peter & fame & wealth just did not sit well with him !
When Gary plays it touches something inside you. The song (The Messiah will come again) is so beautiful it made me cry, it touched my soul. I suggest you check it out you will see what I mean.
Just so you know, for another time, it's pronounced Parisi - enne. Every time he plays it it's differet but that's jazz. And every time is amazing. If I'm honest that isn't my favourite version but it is incredible.
You really gotta do "Red House" from the Fender concert where he pays homage to Jimi Hendrix,but in a big way,and he literally makes his Fender Stratocaster plead for mercy. "Empty Rooms" is another Gary Moore standard to check out as well.
If you like this one, Gary Moore ''Separate Ways'' (HQ live from London 1992,with extended guitar intro ) will blow your mind. Anotherone is Walter Trout - Dust My Broom
Great reaction, thank you so much. Gary was an absolute guitar master. Please, please react to some of his 'rock days' videos. Below is the link to Empty Rooms Live in Stockholm. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-P3dapDTDJzk.html I'm absolutely positive that you will enjoy this one. The guitar solo in this is absolutely brilliant. It just builds and builds and builds, grabs your insides and ties a knot in your stomach. Really, really look forward to seeing what you think. Cheers and regards from England. 😊😎🎸
Try the full version of "Over the Hills and Far Away", shows his talent and passion in a different way. Just don't do the Japanese TV one! Respect from here to you
You should also check out ex-Genesis guitarist, Steve Hackett. Here's one great song to start with. 'Wolflight' ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XSRT-tBMbeI.html
You haven't heard Allan Holdsworth . But you cannot be a novice about the guitar to understand Allan Holdsworth . Allan Holdsworth is another realm of guitar players.
Nah, that's not the best. That would be Blue Oyster Cult playing Astronomy from their Some Enchanted Evening live album. Mind bending extended solo by Buck Dharma.
That solo by Buck Dharma is amazing, but I'm sorry it's only half as amazing as what you just witnessed by Gary Moore. When Gary plays it touches your soul.
