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!!
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 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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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!!!!!
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 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.
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.
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 !
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 !!! 🥰😗😁
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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!
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
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.
Such a powerful, heartfelt performance! I lost my cherished VHS of this show in a house move a while back, but managed to find the full show here on RUclips
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.
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.
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'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.
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..
King Albert didn't invite Gary on stage with restrictions he is a fan of Gary himself and wanted Gary to play from the soul you don't put limits on a man's soul !
Damon, thats 2 Iconic pioneers talking and complimenting each others skills and living it, like BB King w Gary The Thrill is Gone Live and BB complimented Gary as the finest he's ever played w and they never played together before , Simply Amazing respect !!!! ICONS !!!!
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.
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!
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 !
I believe Gary is the best blues guitarist that has ever been. There is no doubt where his influences have come from, i.e. all the King's, Albert, BB, and Freddie, and all the great blues players of old. Gary has so much feeling, expression and tone. He still remains my absolute favourite guitar player. God bless you Gary. RIP.
@@gav25x I was exactly the same. Seeing Clapton got me playing guitar when i was 9 or 10yrs old, but Gary is just another level blues player. The best, ever.
10 лет назад+16
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've been watching this video regularly for a few years. The fact that there are over 60 PAGES of comments says it all. Two incredible players...really having a blast being on stage with each other, and f**king tearing it up. Has anyone else bookmarked this page like I have, so they can keep playing it back? Just awesome......
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 ✌️
Best damn video on utube, hands down. Watching Gary play those fast and accurate licks sounds awesome but then Mr.King steps in, much slower but with so much emotion, that's why he is King. I play blues guitar and you really appreciate Albert's playing when you try to copy his licks, it is nearly impossible. A stunning performance from two of the best blues greats...
Great dynamics between the two. Bringing it up. Bringing it down. Albert King is the guy that Stevie Ray Vaughn gave the most credit to for his riffs and playing style. It's cool that this crowd was treated to an Albert King performance. It's cool that we are treated to it too. Moore had a great sound here and it's pretty clear that playing with King had him really inspired. It's a slingshot effect.
I thought I had always listened to legendary blues guitarists and Lord knows those old classics never die and are even carried on with a few of them which are regarded as Titans with no others known as their fundamental or surpassed equal.... And then Gary walked on stage and during it all and afterward for weeks the process continued transmuting in my head and my soul alike, I felt the process somehow morphed the inward core of me as though I were swimming in a deep ocean and didnt need air to explore where I was, it dawned on me that I had downloaded what the Golden Ratio meant down to the mean of its sum. I thought his guitar was going to catch fire because that axe was smoking so hot you couldn't have missed how it was glowing red like lava to the point of glowing with that gold shine that metals out of the forge would do once temperance was reached... My lid was torn clean off. The Titans remain who they are and made room for Mr. Gary Moore. deservedly so and I think they are his super fans I can bet hard cash they were waiting for him and saved his seat and that's how they all played the blues baby! RIP Gary I love you and still love your tunes!
@@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 saw SRV on stage with BB King and it was the same. I think Stevie blew him away but he wasn't being disrespectful. Just having a blast with his childhood hero. That being said, I think Gary was one of the best who ever picked up a guitar. I play with some kids now who had never heard of him until I turned them onto him. Now they understand. The people who gave this a thumbs down are just jealous that they don't have talent like these two.
![Stevie Ray Vaughan & Albert King - Blues At Sunrise [HQ]](/img/1.gif)
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
❤ my heroes199❤
After all these years I still get goosebumps listening to this.
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 .
I cannot begin to imagine how cool it is to be neighbor with one of the all time great guitarists that ever walked the face of this earth!

Certainly more accurate live.
Well put
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
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.
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!❤❤
Gary Moore uses every bit of his guitar's range. He lives on the knife's edge.
This man is my GOAT player.
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
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 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,

@Liam it could be said of both legends))
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
Did he?? Really?? I doubt it! It wasn't BB's style!
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
id agree but srv lol
Are you sure.
@@andythomas706 Me too.
If Heaven doesn't have stuff like this, I don't want to go.
Can I use that quote😂
Amen, brother.
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
Can't count how many times I've listened to this. Simply outstanding. Too bad they are both gone. Great music!
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

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.
The look on these guys faces is pure joy. They love what the guy is bringing to the table and respect each others ability. Both are amazing.
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.
Check out GARY Moore “Blues for Jimi tribute “it’s the best”
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
What a contrast. Albert doesn't play many notes, but every one grabs you by the balls. Gary runs you over. Fabulous stuff.
Stormy Monday has never been played with a better guitarist, this is rock and roll at it's best. God bless you, Gary! ♥
Oh my the clarity and sustain screamin licks from Gary are just insane. Two legends my my, who the hell voted thumbs down. Geez 🙏👍♥️😎
Wow two of the greatest!

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
just some more of Gary Moore`s genius, he was the finest guitarist to ever walk this planet bar none!

Very entertaining duo, love the B3 in the background, going to see Buddy Guy tonight. Been listening to blues all day!

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.....
Try to imagine the conversation between those two guitars after the show!!! Just orgasmic.
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!
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 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!

Two of the most iconic Gibson’s on this planet! Outta Phase baby!
🙏🏻🇦🇺
Both making it happen in their own way. Blues is an artistic expression that should not be put in a box.

Such a powerful, heartfelt performance! I lost my cherished VHS of this show in a house move a while back, but managed to find the full show here on RUclips
They sound great together and my all time favorite version of Stormy Monday
Gary is always nice and loud i love it most underrated guitarist I've ever seen ,2 gibson masters
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.
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.
FACT!
Allentown, PA 1990. 10 or 20 miles later. Playing with his grandson. Stake was huge. He played right in my face. Thanks King.

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 suppose to be asleep. But enjoying watching these two play. Awesome 👍
Sounds like a dark and stormy conversation to me, loaded with passion. Thanks for making my Tuesday a.m.
Two greats with two superb styles of playing. I love both equally. One agitates the soul the other soothes it.
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.
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..
King Albert didn't invite Gary on stage with restrictions he is a fan of Gary himself and wanted Gary to play from the soul you don't put limits on a man's soul !
Damon, thats 2 Iconic pioneers talking and complimenting each others skills and living it, like BB King w Gary The Thrill is Gone Live and BB complimented Gary as the finest he's ever played w and they never played together before , Simply Amazing respect !!!! ICONS !!!!
This has to be the best Stormy Modays version out there. God Bless them..RIP Brothers 🙏
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.
Шикарнейшее исполнение! СПАСИБО! ЭТО-СУПЕР-СКАЗОЧНО! 🎸🎶🔥👍❤️💥💥💥
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!
Been listening to. Guitar playing ,all my 73 years!!! No there. Great!!!!! Only one missing is. Jimmy. Hendrix!!! R.l.p. !!@
Gary and Albert puttin in work!! Sounds great🎸🇺🇸
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 !
I believe Gary is the best blues guitarist that has ever been. There is no doubt where his influences have come from, i.e. all the King's, Albert, BB, and Freddie, and all the great blues players of old. Gary has so much feeling, expression and tone. He still remains my absolute favourite guitar player. God bless you Gary. RIP.
I agree, i thought Clapton was God until i heard Gary when i was about 13, blew my mind, still does to this day
@@gav25x I was exactly the same. Seeing Clapton got me playing guitar when i was 9 or 10yrs old, but Gary is just another level blues player. The best, ever.
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've been watching this video regularly for a few years. The fact that there are over 60 PAGES of comments says it all. Two incredible players...really having a blast being on stage with each other, and f**king tearing it up. Has anyone else bookmarked this page like I have, so they can keep playing it back? Just awesome......
I have watched many times, I too like reading the comments and I add my own from time to time💙
Albert couldn’t contain his joy seeing Gary tear it up 😎
They all great
We blessed 1 hear tgem
2 kings on one stage!!! This is a piece of art!!!
God, I just love this! Gary and Albert at their best!
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 ✌️
Best damn video on utube, hands down. Watching Gary play those fast and accurate licks sounds awesome but then Mr.King steps in, much slower but with so much emotion, that's why he is King. I play blues guitar and you really appreciate Albert's playing when you try to copy his licks, it is nearly impossible. A stunning performance from two of the best blues greats...
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.
both amazing! love Alberts tone and phrasing.
Gary Moore is unique. Amazing talent, amazing skills.. One of the greatest guitarists for me...
Great dynamics between the two. Bringing it up. Bringing it down. Albert King is the guy that Stevie Ray Vaughn gave the most credit to for his riffs and playing style. It's cool that this crowd was treated to an Albert King performance. It's cool that we are treated to it too. Moore had a great sound here and it's pretty clear that playing with King had him really inspired. It's a slingshot effect.
saw this show live a fantastic night
Wow
No kidding! How lucky are you!
Amazing
🤩
Two late and greats! So wonderful to have this video to continue to appreciate these great guitarists!
My standing ovation from hearth to heaven. 🎸🎸🎸
I like this pairing of Gary Moore's guitar and King's plaintiff voice. Soulful and blistering.
two of my "all time" favorite blues players... I saw Albert King few months before he died. Both are missing so hard.
Gary Moore is new find for me. Of ALL the blues guitar players, Moore is the Pinnacle. I haven't heard anyone better.
Peter Green
I thought I had always listened to legendary blues guitarists and Lord knows those old classics never die and are even carried on with a few of them which are regarded as Titans with no others known as their fundamental or surpassed equal....
And then Gary walked on stage and during it all and afterward for weeks the process continued transmuting in my head and my soul alike, I felt the process somehow morphed the inward core of me as though I were swimming in a deep ocean and didnt need air to explore where I was, it dawned on me that
I had downloaded what the Golden Ratio meant down to the mean of its sum.
I thought his guitar was going to catch fire because that axe was smoking so hot you couldn't have missed how it was glowing red like lava to the point of glowing with that gold shine that metals out of the forge would do once temperance was reached...
My lid was torn clean off.
The Titans remain who they are and made room for
Mr. Gary Moore.
deservedly so and I think they are his super fans
I can bet hard cash they were waiting for him and saved his seat and that's how they all played the blues baby!
RIP Gary I love you and still love your tunes!
Gary is a blues rock guitarist.....Albert is pure Blues
Say it again friend . true blues artist never use fuzz never. Its a art form
Danny n Geoff u both have hit the bull's eye
@@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
One of the best guitar players ever rip Gary
Great musicians feed off each other. That's what makes them great.
It's a deep, meaningful conversation...
This is just on another level
Who in their right mind would give this a thumbs down. Probably my favorite video on RUclips.
I saw SRV on stage with BB King and it was the same.
I think Stevie blew him away but he wasn't being disrespectful. Just having a blast with his childhood hero.
That being said, I think Gary was one of the best who ever picked up a guitar. I play with some kids now who had never heard of him until I turned them onto him.
Now they understand.
The people who gave this a thumbs down are just jealous that they don't have talent like these two.
