Brian Robertson good player paricularly for his age he was also an unpleasant drunk but personality aside comparisons pointless Robertsons career all 8 years ,listen to Gary Moore playing empty roms at Milton Keynes or imagine Robertson playing blues for Narada , whole thing ludicrous

amazing sound...very similar to Hendrix but not, that is R Trower... strat puro, Tesla sound

Nobody mentions the version GM re recorded with Phil Lynott ,the comparisons ridiculous i saw Robertson on the Bad Reputation tour and could never work out why he was never as melodic as ob this song ,because he copied it !!!

Both top notch performances, and why even choose ! I always thought the original version had a feel of Santana, again brilliant .

Scotty!

Classe !

Отличная игра

Priceless!

Perfect Execution. You've earned a new subscriber.

I played this once. I did neither.

Nice cover, man! This guitar solo is quite an interesting example of how different guitarists develop a single idea. Gary Moore recorded the original, then Brian Robertson took Gary's foundation and played his version. Finally, John Sykes came up with his own variant, but based on Robertson's version. Notably, in Sykes' "final" version, there are phrases from both Gary's and Brian's solos. Although my favorite guitarist is Gary Moore, when I heard Sykes' version, the other versions ceased to exist for me. John achieved perfection. I would place Brian's solo in second place.

Oh Craig you absolute beauty. That sent shudders down my spine and bought tears of joy to my eyes. My favourite band, and one of my favourite guitarists. You did him proud. JP’s alternating solos, then both coming together for dual harmonies, the work of genius. Thank you 🙏 so much 👻

Youve got skills man.... Very well played.

I actually prefer Robbo’s to Moore’s, but I love Gary.

Both are amazing, but my love will always default to Gary Moore. That is ZERO shade on Brian Robertson... full stop!

Big Robo fan. But Gary one of the best guitarist of all time listen to his post Thin Lizzy stuff

I know it's essentially the same song, but I wasn't keen on the original solo, but Robbo's version of it has got to be my favourite solo of all time, in my favourite song of all time. I think that (at long last.....) Robbo now appears to be getting the recognition he deserves for his gigantic contribution to Lizzy's guitar sound, during what was - let's face it - Lizzy's best era. I remember going to Stafford Bingley Hall to see them after he left, hoping that some-way he might have re-joined them. Sadly not.

Scott beats both of them in this tune.

I was there!

Only been able to see RT live once about 18 years ago. He’s absolutely awesome!!!!!

Was there and it was a great gig at the end of Robin’s tour 1st time l’ve seen him live and it didn’t disappoint.Holmfirth Picturedrome is an old cinema house and acoustics and sound were really good. Long may you carry on Robin.

Thank you, @Craig, for posting this clip of The Master at work. I saw him at the beginning of that week at the show in Islington, London and I have to admit he did seem more sprightly at the earlier show. But it was good to hear they seemed to have sorted the poor vocal qualityby the time of your clip here, such a shame as I think Richard is a v g vocalist.

Moore always seemed like he was playing by the numbers - Robbo always played from his heart.

Love to You Man. And You know how dope those strings creates those Hazy fog. Heard You first time in 1978 and never stopped. Every day is a treasure, to still hear you play <3 💕💕💕💖💝 and perhaps something to Bonamossa as well..? (for Nerdville 78)

I did not know who played that on the live version, but to me, it exudes emotion. It tells the story of love and loss and was exactly what I was feeling. It is a shame the comparison did not go to the next part of this because the uplift in emotion from Robertson is just brilliant. Love, loss, then you move on. Not many musicians can portray that.

Funny enough I thought Robbo's version was the original ( probably 'cos I heard his first ) but if I had to choose; I would go with the Brian Robertson version as the better version ... you can really hear the 'heartbreak ' in it... Also I think both Robertson and Scott Gorman ( the prettiest man I had ever seen growing up) were two of the most underrated guitarists in rock music history.... !!! Never understood why neither of them ever get a mention in the top 100 Greatest Guitarist listings .... But this is easily one of the greatest love songs ever written - up there with 'I want your Love' by Chic ! and as part of the ' Bass players union' Phil has written his Best Bass line - right there ....! Masterpiece!

The comments center around the two axemen. I want to tribute you, Craig, for bringing it to us. Well done, sir!! I think I'll have another listen.....

Thank you for your GREAT PERFORMANCE❗❗👍👍 If possible plz chk my WHITESNAKE cover😍😍

Nailed it

Robbo

Sick

great tone!

Stupid argument as robbo freely admits lifting most of the Moore solo anyway as he said the original was to good to mess with, Check out Moore's later version with is even better!

Gary's guitar always seemed too quiet on Nightlife to me

robbo takes it more passion for me

It's a love song, so feel playing will always trump the technical .. Robbo for me.

!! o0 Yeah That A Nice Video my friend !! see u soon ;D !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds incredible dude, what a song!!

That tone,that playing from Robbo just pierces heart,it's just so lyrical.Robbo is the harder version of Dave Gilmour stinging guitar. So simple but yet so emotional.

Robbo such a Natural

OMG, I'm the biggest Gary fan. Ever , had my first kiss to him, back in 78...but always maintained that the best silwy solo was Robbos on land d just effing soars... Can Here the rafters applauding..... Love it.

I am always amazed at just how many brilliant guitarists were in Lizzy at one time or another, yes we all have our favorites but every guitarist they had gave something special to the Lizzy legend

Both players are absolute idols to me. To my mind, the solo Robbo plays on the 'Live and Dangerous' video is just sublime. When I first heard that, I became a massive fan. Back in those days, the early 1980's, before internet, it was difficult to find out any other albums Robbo had played on. Then I was shocked to see him with Motorhead!

Robbo gets your body wanting more and his breaks are spot on.

Great cover! Amazing!

Gary's (rip)solo's were quite a bit better imo.......Brian's weren't bad but sounded fairly 'stock/standard' as compared. Some of Gary's outro solo licks in this are as good as I've ever heard from any guitarist. Let's not forget 'ol Frankie Miller's vocal contribution's here as well, I love how he and Phil (rip) trade off lines. I like the tempo of the 'Night Life' version as well.....the live one, imo, is a bit slow/ boring as compared ( but still great). My favorite Brian Robertson leads are in 'She Knows'. I also LOVE the particular sound Gary is getting......the famous '59 Paul was getting a tad more presence and top end......I think he was running a channel jumpered Marshall ( 1959 or 1987 ?) run fairly clean along with a Colorsound Overdriver with its treble turned up fairly high .
