    This is by fare THE BEST cover of any Gary Moore song ever.. Very nice played by the band and the choir. Excellent guitar and a outstanding vibrato you got man... (Very close to Garys.. (An extra thumbs up for that))
    Greetings from one of the biggest Gary Moore fans in scandinavia (Denmark)..

    Absolutely amazing, the world is a better place when guitarists like Billy Merziotis live among us. He makes a Les Paul singing and breathing, it is such a beautiful playing that I won't compare it to Gary Moore's every person is absolutely unique.

    Just when I thought I could corner the tribute market with my Gary skills I realised that the voice is important too.. this guy nails Gary's range and timbre perfectly. Drat! Ok bonamassa.. damn he can sing too! A self tribute it is then..
