....but did you FEEL it? That is the question. Nobody will ever play with more feel, emotion and fire than Gary Moore. Saw him lots of times live. Best guitarist to ever walk the earth.
Unapologetic, unprecedented, and absolutely unbeatable, this was what we listened to in the 80s , this was pure rock, get in get in you absolute genius Garry Moore, I love it now. As much as I did then……. Call it nostalgia if you want, but good music is good music no matter what generation….
Gary was amazing and I especially love his 80's era when he did Wild Frontier album. It was the first album I heard from him and was hooked ever since. This concert was absolutely amazing as well. I've seen it several times. Pity he left us too early, but luckily still had a long and productive career. R.I.P. Gary Moore.
@@chip8204 I was lucky enough to see David Gilmore 30 years ago and he is high on my favorite guitarist list, but Gary is on another level, one that only Gary has ever been able to reach.
If you are a genuine guitar 🎸 music lover then Gary is you're man, He played with love , passion, conviction and dedication to his art... I loved him and miss him every day 🎶🎸❤️😞
THE MESSIAH WILL COME AGAIN.... More feeling, emotions, extraordinary talent, expression, stage presens, showmanship, love for playing his instrument, passion to inspire and delight your fans, is not possible. Only Gary can do that, in my opinion. I was lucky enough to see him live on stage once. Here in Cologne, Germany on his "After the War" tour in 1989. Before he switched to the Blues. Unimaginable and unforgettable experience and defently a lifechanger for me. R.I.P. GARY
America had SRV and Europe had Gary Moore. Two of the absolute best to ever do it. Stevie shredded strings and played dirty nasty blues, Gary burned amps to ground and poured his soul through every note. Their souls were fused to their instruments in a way few will ever be blessed enough to approach.
Gary Moore had been playing since the 60's and also played in the Irish rock band Thin Lizzy (he was good friends w/ late bassist/vocalist Phil Lynott)... He launched a solo career in the 70's and was pretty big in Europe by the 80's... Unfortunately, he didn't break big in America until his blues album 'Still got the blues' sold gold in the US in 1990... That success sort of limited his fame as a blues guitarist (He was more of a hard rock guitarist & vocalist w/ heavy blues influences) Tragically, he struggled w/ alcohol abuse and passed away in 2011 at age 58.
My favourite guitarist, worlds best emotive player. Parisienne walkways, messiah will come again, sky is crying. All his live stuff. Incredible guitarist. One of the goats
The truth is the late Gary Moore was almost out of the business until he made an album mostly for himself called “Still Got The Blues” and BOOM! Grammy time and top selling album.
the high point of Gary's fame was my teens. I was 19 when this was performed. He was truly great. His early hard rock stuff is excellent. And his blues is phenomenal
Thank you Polo for reacting to this..i have never heard Empty Rooms before. What an outstanding guitarist Gary Moore was. I don't know where I was in the early 80's..
Been going to gigs for over 40yrs, Gary was the best guitar player I've had the pleasure to see. His rendition of Hendrix' Red House at the Fender Anniversary Awards will knock your socks off.
His work with Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce on BBM's Around The Next Dream was also outstanding. Absolutely brilliant guitarist with such unique tone. Some of us have been lucky enough to escape our demons and come out healthy on the other side. He was not. RIP Gary Moore.
@@michaeldean7220I went to Gary's grave at St Margaret's Church Rottingdean in 2022 on a sunny summer day. It's a lovely quiet spot to stop & think for a bit.
Just found your channel, I enjoy the way you watch and listen instead of interrupting. You allow yourself to experience it and then share your thoughts. There’s another version of this when he’s much older that is just amazing. Gary passed several years ago, heartbroken and an alcoholic. He was an amazing guy and guitarist. Thanks for reviewing this!
I was lucky to see Gary on this tour in a small club in Providence, RI. I still have photos and a guitar pick from the show. One of the best live performances I've ever witnessed.
Blood, Sweat & Tears had a song - I'll love you more than you'll ever know . Gary does a phenomenal version of that song! Beth Hart & Joe Bonomassa also do it justice...
Loved watching your face during this one. I could tell it got to you. Greatest solo? No. Not even the greatest Gary Moore solo. There are better. But it was indeed a hell of a performance.
I humbly asked for Parisienne Walkways with Gary Moore and Gregg Lake. I see that many others are asking for this song as well. Here’s hoping and thank you for listening and sharing!
Both David and Gary play with full emotion & passion! THAT is the similarity you're hearing. I've been playing guitar for 57 years now, since I was 8 (I am no where NEAR even a good guitarist) and have watched/listened to them all over the decades. Gary is right up there with the very best of them! In my view, he's in the top 25 easily. This was an outstanding solo from him, and very much a demonstration of that emotion and passion that he played with. Plus, he had great vocals!
Well said! Seen them both live, David solo and the two tours with post Roger, Floyd. Was a fan of Gary's in Lizzy, saw him live from his rocking days of Corridors of Power all through his blues era. There few guitarists that can squeeze as much emotion out of a single note as those two guys.
Still got the blues live from hammersmith Odeon 1990, the messiah will come again live montreaux 91, parisienne walkways live royal Albert Hall 92 or the loner live from Sweden 87 same concert as empty rooms..Gary as you said had it all, playing fast or slow, always clean and full of soul and emotion .
This is a great song. Gary’s solo album “Corridors of Power” is also excellent! Gary also played guitar for Greg Lake on his early 80’s solo albums. They are worth a listen also.
@@dansloan4169 Agreed. The Supernatural is an amazing song and I didn’t think anyone else would get that much sustain with that much feel out of a guitar, but yeah, Gary did that.
Polo, because you loved this song so much and Gary Moore’s musical genius, l highly recommend that you listen to ‘Parisienne Walkways’ with Gregg Lake and Gary Moore. The song is stunning and the guitar work is superb! A hauntingly beautiful song. Thank you.
Empty Rooms is off his Victims of the Future album, which is my favorite of all his albums. Lots of great songs there including Victims of the Future, Murder in the Skies, Hold on to Love, The Law of the Jungle, and Devil in Her Heart. Other good albums I frequently listen to are After the War, Wild Frontier, and Corridors of Power.
The song sounds so much like the 1980s. Specifically like the late 1980s. There is definitely a difference between what was going on musically in the early 1980s and then the late 1980s.
Great reaction Polo - pls react to Parisienne Walkways live in Dublin a real banger like Empty Rooms - You will love it plus Bad Reputation Thin lizzy and Gary Moore live -Epic

Sorry I dint know this guy is his band and whatnot. I thought this was a Journey song. Ya gotta admit this guy sounds a lot like Steve Perry, yes? 🎶 🎵 🎼 💿 And the guitar here is magnificent!! 😮
God, Gary is a God....but in my opinion this is the most comercial song besides his ultrahit still got the blues (recommended too) my favorite is Parisienne Walkways where he makes his guitar cries like no one, a total beast.
....but did you FEEL it? That is the question. Nobody will ever play with more feel, emotion and fire than Gary Moore. Saw him lots of times live. Best guitarist to ever walk the earth.
Man don't even get me started
Still got the blues is just as emotional if not more
Man Gary moore was some kinda monster
@@Sensei.shonuff Corridors of power all day this guy is amazing
Please watch the live bootleg of Andy Timmons Cry for You. Gary Moore brought me to him.
Gary was the best guitarist ever, simply unmatched in style, technique, skill, passion, feel.
There was nothing he couldn’t play.
Moore is criminally underrated when it comes to top guitarist lists, it’s actually sickening seeing some that get rated higher than he does.
Unapologetic, unprecedented, and absolutely unbeatable, this was what we listened to in the 80s , this was pure rock, get in get in you absolute genius Garry Moore, I love it now. As much as I did then……. Call it nostalgia if you want, but good music is good music no matter what generation….

To me one of the most under appreciated guitarists of all time
I think so.
You will never ever hear a better guitar player than Gary Moore👍
David Gilmour
Not even close but he is a decent guitarist. Don't think much of the band either.
@@chip8204 I was lucky enough to see David Gilmore 30 years ago and he is high on my favorite guitarist list, but Gary is on another level, one that only Gary has ever been able to reach.
That Guitar tone is almost perfection.
I am so happy. This moved my soul. Your reaction is very true, from the heart.

Oh yes! Most definitely. Live.
World class performance
Saw Gary do The Messiah will come again,as an encore at Manchester Apollo...wow oh wow...he almost took the roof off... Amazing to say the least.🎸🎶❤️
Yes, best solo ever!!!
Gary Moore is a god. Great reaction.
One of the GOATS!
Gary is sorely missed.

Gary Moore’s guitar playing was something else man😍
The thrill is gone bb king and Gary Moore it’s fire🇨🇦🔥🇨🇦
You are watching a master of his craft Gary Moore was by far one of the best guitarists of his generation along with David Gilmour.
Gilmour is excellent but nowhere near Gary Moore. In my opinion.
"As the Years Go Passing By".......phenomenal. Rest In Peace Gary Moore, GODSPEED.
Gary RIP❤ ,dont forget the great Aussie bass player Bob Daisly❤
The truth is the late Gary Moore was almost out of the business until he made an album mostly for himself called “Still Got The Blues” and BOOM! Grammy time and top selling album.
Parisienne Walkways! Still got the Blues! Great Stuff from a Great Artist!
Yes! 👍👍Parisienne Walkways.
Still Got the Blues for You.
classic

Love it!! So unexpected! Never heard of this person before but will have to more! Thank you for airing this❤❤
I was so happy to see him on stage. 🇫🇮🤟
His work with Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce on BBM's Around The Next Dream was also outstanding. Absolutely brilliant guitarist with such unique tone. Some of us have been lucky enough to escape our demons and come out healthy on the other side. He was not. RIP Gary Moore.
Gary Moore was one of the badasses.
He was da best!
Gary is an absolute beast!…he’s made so much music it’s hard to get a feel for him from one song…dive deeper
I definitely need to go down the Gary Moore rabbit hole. Wow!!!
And I need to go and saw my respects to him. He's buried in a very unassuming plot about 30 mins from where I live :)
@@michaeldean7220I went to Gary's grave at St Margaret's Church Rottingdean in 2022 on a sunny summer day. It's a lovely quiet spot to stop & think for a bit.
Check out Rory Gallagher too

Parisienne Walkways ❤️
Two of the best blues guitarist come from Ireland 🇮🇪Rory Gallagher and Gary Moore ☘️💚
You have to watch/listen to The Loner from the same concert. Simply mindblowing !!
It is truly an empty room without Gary Moore.
I was lucky to see Gary on this tour in a small club in Providence, RI. I still have photos and a guitar pick from the show. One of the best live performances I've ever witnessed.
Thanks for the great coverage of some of our favorite artists. Have you listened to Still Got The Blues yet? Gary is just great, what can I say.....
This video came from the comment section great pick!
Blood, Sweat & Tears had a song - I'll love you more than you'll ever know . Gary does a phenomenal version of that song! Beth Hart & Joe Bonomassa also do it justice...
Still got the blues for you
Gary Moore
Parisienne Walkways too!
Yes to both! 👍👍
If you haven't seen Joe Bonomassa's version of Still Got the Blues Live at the Beacon Theater, it is "Other Worldly".
@@raytull3922 Thanks!
My favorite ❤❤❤
One of the best concerts ever..... Live in Stockholm. The Looner is a masterpiece,
Loved watching your face during this one. I could tell it got to you. Greatest solo? No. Not even the greatest Gary Moore solo. There are better. But it was indeed a hell of a performance.
the best guitarist

I was THERE

This is a great song. Gary’s solo album “Corridors of Power” is also excellent! Gary also played guitar for Greg Lake on his early 80’s solo albums. They are worth a listen also.
Congrats, you have arrived at the finest of the finest.
Gary Moore was a Guitar God
The influence of Peter Green is unmistakable in Gary’s playing and I love Parisienne Walkways which he recorded and played on Greeny until he sold it.
He did right by Peter Green with his playing The Supernatural on the the Blues for Greeny recording.
@@dansloan4169 Agreed. The Supernatural is an amazing song and I didn’t think anyone else would get that much sustain with that much feel out of a guitar, but yeah, Gary did that.
Still got the blues for you. My favorite one from him.
In my toplist of best solo's ever. RIP Gary Moore.
His stuff with Thin Lizzy was flawless
Without, too.
Every great guitarist has a recognizable sound. You know Beck, Gilmor,Page ,SRV, etc. You know Gary
Peter Green, Frank Morano, Robin Trower,, to add to your fine list
@@rodneymacomber6337 absolutely,! I just spent a month or so visiting with Green on old tracks 💕💕Now I have some others to revisit
Blackmore!
super good sound‼️
Great to see a young guy experiencing , for him, new music and artists.
I miss him 😢
Over the Hills and Far Away
A great melodic solo. Very Jeff Beck-ish. Gary could really make that guitar sing
Polo, because you loved this song so much and Gary Moore’s musical genius, l highly recommend that you listen to ‘Parisienne Walkways’ with Gregg Lake and Gary Moore. The song is stunning and the guitar work is superb! A hauntingly beautiful song. Thank you.
I appreciate you listening to great music 🎶 ❤
From a different generation
He draws you in with such feeling .. perfection!
The Messiah will come...live
Virtuoso performance..
If you have a spare 15 mins listen to the “loner” of the same concert - your mind and emotions will be blown.
Gary Moore Parisienne Walkways live at Montreux has possibly the greatest guitar solo ever recorded.
Edit: dropped video link in reply
ruclips.net/video/FiuQ1EbrT94/видео.html This one
The Messiah will come again, is truly amazing
Soooo emotive playing aaand singing!
Dammmmm thats good.
GOAT
I've also suggested this song a couple of months ago. Great to hear you react to it!
I love your channel, Polo! Thank you for your work!!
Empty Rooms is off his Victims of the Future album, which is my favorite of all his albums.

Wow this was a treat! Never heard of him before Thanks Polo and the person who suggested this video!
Red house, at the 50 years of stratocaster concert, after that the guitar needs a smoke when Gary is finnished.
He used the EMG 81 pickup here.
Hi Mr. Polo, Great, U should review the live version of "Still Got The Blues" and "Parisienne Walkways" ♠Mr.G..
The song sounds so much like the 1980s. Specifically like the late 1980s. There is definitely a difference between what was going on musically in the early 1980s and then the late 1980s.

Victims of the Future & Still Got the Blues for You...
Still got the blues for you
They need to make a movie with John C Reilly as Gary Moore
Sorry I dint know this guy is his band and whatnot. I thought this was a Journey song. Ya gotta admit this guy sounds a lot like Steve Perry, yes? 🎶 🎵
🎼 💿 And the guitar here is magnificent!! 😮
Love the blues.
I always considered this the greatest solo of all time....the tone and the accuracy are sublime.
