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
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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 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.
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.
Sadly this is never gonna happen again . The two kings of blues together , smiling and living the blues together ....I`ll never get tired of this . The blues will live forever !!! 🥰😗😁
@@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 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 !
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 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!!!!!
God I love this video and performance. Makes me smile and makes my day! Miss Gary and Albert! Thanks also to RUclips for NOT sticking some cheesey commercial right in the middle of this great rendition of Stormy Monday.
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.
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.
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 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 Moore welcomed a hero of his to the stage as he and Albert King expertly took on the timeless “Stormy Monday” at the Hammersmith Odeon (now the Hammersmith Apollo) on the 11th of May, 1990. T-Bone Walker would undoubtedly approve.
I dunno, the more than a couple of smiles on Albert’s faces spoke volumes more than any of us RUclips bloviators could ever manage. Great back and forth between these two. Been spending a good part of this afternoon catching up on Gary’s performances, and haven’t seen too many collaborations of quite this caliber. But, I’m retired now, so have lots of opportunity to hopefully be wrong about that👍
I had borrowed this VCR video from a friend. Needless to say he never, ever got it back. I used this as a wake up every morning at 7-9am and I thank god every day for playing so much better!
5:00 - 7:15 Albert's solo is just sublime. I'm talking - essence of the blues - level sublime, and the last 30 seconds he tears the place up!! Thanks so much for posting this. Still so much to learn from Albert King. RIP, we miss you!
Timothy I would say LISTEN to Freddie King sometime. The Blues are a little different around the country. Freddie more than paid his dues. My favorite King! Except Jesus!
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 ✌️
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'm still listening to those legends over and over, and couldn't figure it out how can someone can sing like that...I mean just listen with your eyes close, just feel it.
Both of these guys are phenomenal. The music they made will long outlast their existence on Earth to all of us who know and appreciate amazing music when we hear it.
I dont know how to just like this as the thumb lets you indicate,...I only really know to love this collaboration of the incomparable Albert King looking over and smiling, beaming if you will,..at the incomparable Gary Moore.
I disagree completely. Moore wasn't making any attempt to show off or disrespect the King. He was simply paying homage to one of his greatest influences by playing to the best of his ability. King was smiling because he was enjoying the music. He loves the blues, no matter who plays it. He's not all bitter about getting upstaged or whatever. That would be petty, insecure, and self-centered. I seriously doubt that thought ever even crossed his mind. Just my opinion.
Gary had Lots of respect for Both Alberts. King & Collins!!! King was asked who he liked as young blues players, he NAILED IT RIGHT ON! He said S.R.V. & Gary Moore! !!!! I say the Mantle went from Albert King to Stevie Ray then to Gary!! All these Greats are gone. Who will become the next " King of the Blues"? Will it be you?!
I agree completely. Trying to outdo someone would be utterly contrary to blues playing. For Gary to disrespect Albert by trying to outdo him would be ridiculous. This is not about skill or licks. this is abut the blues and for a blues master like Gary to even contemplate disrespecting a God like Albert is ludicrous. There is only - as it should be - mutual respect. Albert knows that - whereas Gary uses many more notes, he is 100% a true blues player. that's all it takes.
this is why you tube was invented... for amazing artist talent documentation... true talent is fading fast... but there is proof that humans did have it once... a lot died with gary moore...
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 !
![Stevie Ray Vaughan & Albert King - Blues At Sunrise [HQ]](/img/1.gif)
That smile on Albert king face when Gary play tells everything
seguro penso; este guey si me supera WOW !!!!
Damn right. Loved Gary
Pure happiness
It's so great and for both ways. Look at Gary smiling 6 minute in🎉
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!
Theres's no perfection enought just us & them ( think...)
Yes my friend

Me neither friend
I love how Albert is blown away by playing with and appreciating Gary’s playing.
big man humbly passed the torch sharing the stage with SRV and Gary.
After all these years I still get goosebumps listening to this.
Gary Moore idolized Albert King.
He played his heart out for him during this song.
Amazing
How not to do it if King is a god of the blues
Couldn’t have agreed more😆
Amen!
@@mauroflosi6326 I think king showed him the error of his ways.. second half was much more in sync

Certainly more accurate live.

Are you sure.
@@andythomas706 Me too.
if you make albert king smile .. you are doing something right !
If you make anybody smile with your playing youre doing something right
@@jcripp7974 it is easier to make some people smile
@@londonman8688 Yes,if you can give me more than 100,000 US Dollar,I promise that I will smile to you too... such an easy things to do..
It was well known that Albert king was hard to please . Hence if Albert king smiled at your playing - then you defo done something right
There have been many who didn't make him smile. It was a big deal to make him have a laugh.
Gary Moore uses every bit of his guitar's range. He lives on the knife's edge.
This man is my GOAT player.
Same
Hard to believe, that they are both gone from this world .. That being said, legends never die!!
Hi
Guy
Amen...
Gary and his guitar has one!❤❤
just some more of Gary Moore`s genius, he was the finest guitarist to ever walk this planet bar none!

Everything he played was on the money he was the consummate professional his playing was head and shoulders above the best
@@rayjeske6564keaggy and other Christian guitarists are trash compared to their secular peers. Including Gary.
I just keep coming back to this. Gary looks so happy in his element. Monster guitar 🎸 player.
I don't see no competition here just great guitar playing from two Legends who compliment each other
What a contrast. Albert doesn't play many notes, but every one grabs you by the balls. Gary runs you over. Fabulous stuff.
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
Gary was the supercar of guitar players... whether that is good, bad or indifferent to you, he was a stellar player
TheDemockery1 The Rolls Royce of guitar players.

I love how Gary plays an entire melody just by bending a note four different ways.
Also add it was just use either one or two fingers to hit that speed
Imagine if he used 3 and 4 as well
And he learnt that from Albert, the King of blues bends
Albert literally did that the whole videos he did it way before Gary
Sadly this is never gonna happen again . The two kings of blues together , smiling and living the blues together ....I`ll never get tired of this . The blues will live forever !!! 🥰😗😁
Albert was a great singer as well as being one of the most influential guitarists ever!!!

God I love this video and performance. Makes me smile and makes my day! Miss Gary and Albert! Thanks also to RUclips for NOT sticking some cheesey commercial right in the middle of this great rendition of Stormy Monday.
One of the Best Stormy Mondays ive ever heard....by far.
Gary is a blues man he feels every note just like Albert.
RIP Gary Moore I had the pleasure to see you live and will never forget. #guitargod
Me too, he was Awesome to be sure to be sure.
Two greats with two superb styles of playing. I love both equally. One agitates the soul the other soothes it.

Oh my the clarity and sustain screamin licks from Gary are just insane. Two legends my my, who the hell voted thumbs down. Geez 🙏👍♥️😎
All you crazies can argue about who's better and who disrespected who.. But I am just going to watch these two awesome players kill it..
music is not a race where you have to win
You Damn right :)
It’s about the SOUL, man. What synergistic energy and emotion.
I believe both men respected each other Butt know for sure Gary considered Albert one of his mentors
Both different guitarist.Old School and new school.I think Albert is getting off on Gary's playing.....
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.

saw this show live a fantastic night
Wow
No kidding! How lucky are you!
Amazing

They sound great together and my all time favorite version of Stormy Monday
Great musicians feed off each other. That's what makes them great.
It's a deep, meaningful conversation...
Two of the most iconic Gibson’s on this planet! Outta Phase baby!

It is great to watch the contrast of Albert with classic blues and Gary with modern heavy blues. A classic video. Two wonderful guitarist.
I suppose to be asleep. But enjoying watching these two play. Awesome 👍

I cried ` Lord, have mercy` as well
Two of the all time GREATS right here.
I'm still listening to those legends over and over, and couldn't figure it out how can someone can sing like that...I mean just listen with your eyes close, just feel it.
Both of these guys are phenomenal. The music they made will long outlast their existence on Earth to all of us who know and appreciate amazing music when we hear it.
Gary was just believably fantastic.
Sounds like a dark and stormy conversation to me, loaded with passion. Thanks for making my Tuesday a.m.
God, I just love this! Gary and Albert at their best!
Albert has his style and Gary has his and they match up great together.
Gary and Albert puttin in work!! Sounds great🎸🇺🇸
Gary Moore is new find for me. Of ALL the blues guitar players, Moore is the Pinnacle. I haven't heard anyone better.

I dont know how to just like this as the thumb lets you indicate,...I only really know to love this collaboration of the incomparable Albert King looking over and smiling, beaming if you will,..at the incomparable Gary Moore.
I disagree completely. Moore wasn't making any attempt to show off or disrespect the King. He was simply paying homage to one of his greatest influences by playing to the best of his ability. King was smiling because he was enjoying the music. He loves the blues, no matter who plays it. He's not all bitter about getting upstaged or whatever. That would be petty, insecure, and self-centered. I seriously doubt that thought ever even crossed his mind. Just my opinion.
I agree. He worshiped what he grew up learning. Gary was just great
Gary had Lots of respect for Both Alberts. King & Collins!!! King was asked who he liked as young blues players, he NAILED IT RIGHT ON! He said S.R.V. & Gary Moore! !!!! I say the Mantle went from Albert King to Stevie Ray then to Gary!!
All these Greats are gone.
Who will become the next " King of the Blues"?
Will it be you?!
David Martin Christone “Kingfish” Ingram!
When you have to play with or against the Godfather, you will naturally step up your game. Gary was being Very respectful.
I agree completely. Trying to outdo someone would be utterly contrary to blues playing. For Gary to disrespect Albert by trying to outdo him would be ridiculous. This is not about skill or licks. this is abut the blues and for a blues master like Gary to even contemplate disrespecting a God like Albert is ludicrous. There is only - as it should be - mutual respect. Albert knows that - whereas Gary uses many more notes, he is 100% a true blues player. that's all it takes.
this is why you tube was invented... for amazing artist talent documentation... true talent is fading fast... but there is proof that humans did have it once... a lot died with gary moore...
Amen to that
May God grant you the strength and courage to face life's challenges with confidence and resilience, knowing that He is always by your side.
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 !
Albert and Gary two monsters together both doing their own thang but complimenting each other.True showmanship here.Don't judge just enjoy the music.
