Saw a an old Rolling Stone magazine with their top 100 guitarists choices. Nowhere was Gary Moore on the list. I never picked up another Rolling Stone in my life. Never will. He was a classic. Awesome talent.
"When I'm in England, I say, I'm from Ireland. When I'm in Ireland, I say, I'm from Dublin. When I'm in Dublin, I say, I'm from Crumlin. When I'm in Crumlin, I say, Leighlin Road. When I'm in Leighlin Road, I say, I'm a Lynott."
Anyone saying Gary Moore was underrated is way behind the curve . Gary’s brilliance had been recognised throughout the UK and Europe since the 70’s. For me , Belfast born Gary was simply the greatest guitarist the British Isles ever produced . Not only was he capable of blowing most guitar players off stage , but played with such feel and emotion, that few of his contemporaries could master or come close to. Gary may not have had long blond hair, a cute smile, and a California tan, but I wouldn’t have liked to have been the guitarist who dared share a stage with him . R.I.P to the master .
Oh My God.... that is exceptional - both slow & fast versions! The world is a sorrier place without such a talent. Must have been a real pleasure to be at that concert. As a tribute to the legend that was Thin Lizzy - this is legendary in its' own right... fantastic
The set up he had that night was unbelievable. Brilliant sustain and tone. The les Paul he's playing in this video sounds better than the others in this show. I know its not a competition but Gary blows the others out of the water at this show. They are all legends but Gary is top of the tree.
Agreed on Gary being top of the tree, without question. However, if John Sykes had been there to do something, it would've been interesting. Sykes is the only other Thin Lizzy guitarist with the chops, speed and power to be capable of competing with Gary in a guitar duel!
Gary and Sykes definitely some of the best of British guitarists ever, love them both to death. I'd add Holdsworth, and maybe Guthrie, but he needs some more years. And yeah you can add Jeff Beck and Mclaughlin too. Throw in some Blackmore , Steve Howe and Steve Hackett and I'd be a happy camper.
The tone here especially when he engages the ultra gain channel on the DSL is fucking out of this world. I have a DSL and it doesn't sound as good as this!
Six Strings seriously, nobody mentions Knopfler? One of the best out there. Like Moore, he can play slow melodic phrases as well as shred like there is no tomorrow.
Gary is one of the few who’s tone is instantly recognized the others are SRV and Rory Gallagher imagine being a fly on the wall if they all had a session together
Gary was a better guitarist than Clapton (more exciting and entertaining). Saw him live a couple of times.Fantastic. Also as Skid Row 1969 or 1970 ish. Never overrated only underrated.Another underrated guitarist, Larry Miller? Never heard of him?. Of course you haven't!. Go and see him live he's brilliant!. Hendrix, Gallagher, Moore, Clapton all rolled into one player.
@@tonypowell250 He is the most over-exposed, over merchandised guitarist, but his talent is real. Nobody who impressed BB. Danny Gatton, Buddy Guy ..... dozens of others...... can be overrated.
They can all play but let's face it lads Clapton is a boring bastard, bonamassa can play for real but Gary has that urgency and feel that just puts him in a different league for me
Thin Lizzy One of the best rock bands of all time, in my humble opinion Saw them several times - what an absolute charismatic genius Phil was and the band members also instrumental geniuses Proud of my Irishness!
No matter how many times I hear this version I can't wait to grab a guitar and dream a bit. He's one of the most exact guitarists but maintains a feel throughout that just makes you wanna jump. True musicianship. Thank you for sharing this epic video.
Gary Moore has always been one of my guitar heroes not many outside of Europe or the rock world heard of him and I know that we've all heard of Beck Page and Clapton but you can't count out Gary Moore either. This man was a guitar genius RIP brother.
Best version of this song ever!! The guitar solo sends chills up my spine every time I hear it as do all of his solos. Shred guitarists just leave me cold. They hit so many notes that mean nothing. Gary was the real deal and will never be forgotten.
I seldom comment: I hear Gary Moore lead guitar in my sleep and in my dreams and this is a very good/ exceptionally good version! However; I do hear Phil Lynott vocals and Scott Gorham dueling leads even though they are not in this... absolutely incredible that Gary can pull it off nearly solo:-)
Utterly awesome version of a classic track. Didn’t think he could better the OGWT version from 79 with Phil, think he’s done it here. RIP Gary and Phil
Slow, fast, it doesn't matter; just a brilliant song, turned two ways by a master, in full respect of his friend that created it in the first place. I'll never tire of listening to this.
Maybe my 2nd comment here, I had all of Gary's solo albums but on cassette, I used to jog, long distance run just listening to "Corridors of Power" such an Awesome title but Gary's vocals on this record and songwriting and production is just superb! My desert island top five albums always... Gary's style is "Full On", I heard he had to put #11's on his high E string because he kept breaking them when getting too intense on his solo's. But please , check out his rhythm playing, Vocals "Come on" the guy had "Pipes" and did not need a lead singer unless it was the Poetic voice of his brother "Phil", (Thin Lizzy) , Too much respect for Gary as an "Artist, , songwriter, vocalist, (not just a shredder guitarist) Who else can claim this in 2024? Yes, I thought so, no one..... RIP Gary, great work here on this earth, We miss you but your music lives on forever, unmatched....
The drummer is Brian Downey drummer and a founding member of Thin Lizzy. The Bass played is Jonathan Noyce He is primarily known as a member of British rock group Jethro Tull, with whom he toured and recorded as a member from 1995 until 2007.....☮ ♥ ♫
Gary moore was really a great guitar hero. saw him once "wild frontier" tour, 86/87....he dont miss a note, it's like he has the magic touch: perfect solos...man, incredible
We have Robbo to thank for the faster version. He speeded it up when Phil went AWOL from rehearsals one time. Before that it was just a slow blues. As such that song would never have been a hit. Robbo changed the feel of it completely and it was a classic. He never got a writing credit for that, which he should have done but he was young and naieve at the time. That's one of the reasons why his relationship with Phil was never all love and roses and why he has so little to do with Lizzy these days. Sad but that's people for you. As a song I love both versions but the hit version has everything in 2.5 minutes. Amazing.
Anything Gary Moore did, was always pretty amazing, but when you add the GREATNESS of Phil Lynott, then you're talking about something truly special! And of course the great Brian Downey on drums!!! LONG LIVE THIN LIZZY!!!!!!!!!!!! GOD BLESS GARY MOORE'S FAMILY, HIS MEMORY WILL LIVE ON IN THE MUSIC FOREVER!!
I had the privilege of seeing Gary Moore play a local pub with Skid Row when he was about 17. Even then you could see how very special he was. At the Fender Strat 50th anniversary concert Hank Marvin played, David Gilmour played, but Gary (not normally associated to the strat) stepped out with an old battered strat and he made the bastard sing. Albert Lee had to follow him and was clearly NOT pleased. There will never be another...
I have three guitarist in my 65 years of listening and a couple of years of playing that i rate above everybody else: Robin Trower, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Gary Moore! In no certain order... but I do like playing Gibsons.:)
Simply put, The best stuff ever, seen Gary in the 80's in The City by the bay at a club that burned down soon after. Shredding at it's best with such feeling. Also this man could rock with the best of them. His first few solo albums before he found his bluesy roots again were incredible.
Believe it or not, there are idiots out there who actually think Ed Sheeran is the greatest guitar player of all time. All they need to do is look at this and their illusions are shattered forever.
Simply one of the greatest and at the same time most underrated guitar players ever. Just nails every song at this concert. So wish I’d been there in person
Looking at that guitar I'm wondering if that's the Peter Green 1959 Les Paul that Gary is supposed to have owned. The neck pickup is in backwards. Of course Gary could take any Les Paul and do that but makes me wonder.
No, it's a different one...by that time, the Green guitar had suffered damage in a car accident and had been "retired" from the stage. The Les Pauls he played at this concert were customs but as you said, he could do magic with any guitar
I think its 1 of his 2000 - 2002 Signature Gibson Les Pauls with a pair of Bareknuckle PG Blues pickups in. They came pre-wired out of phase with each other to copy what happened to the Greeny Les Paul.
Musicianship is so "heart-pumping" to hear, the guitar playing is legendary, very skilled & talented...Rocking Fun Sounds... What an impressive gift of guitar playing to experience!! Thin Lizzy one of the best in Irish rock🎸!🎶!🎸
my only go to gry moore guitarist ,, man i tell you if he looked at his bass player like gaz does here ,, its fucking on ,,,lol the bass player i know in his day would be jumping all over the main player ...lol how we have aged and settled down... me i like the old grey whistle stop clip .. its the one where gaz breaks the e string ??? a fucking E string within the first 10 seconds and then nails it ... god damm guitar legend this bloke

Agree! If not the greatest. Great guitar playing, with feeling, also singing. Great blues player
One of the greatest players ever. Criminally underrated
1000%
Gary is a example of what passion can create .. GREATNESS!

Garry is the only guy who can wear a polka dot shirt on stage and get off with it 😂

Love it when Brian cranks it up at 4:50 One of the best drummers on the planet!

Tony Powell IDK... The version from the Old Grey Whistle was pure fire!
@@adamjacob9362 and with five strings
This song will not sound like it is without Jonathan, doing best what Phil could do, and Brian Downey ofc.
Agree. Bends, vibrato, phrasing. Superb.
I seldom comment: I hear Gary Moore lead guitar in my sleep and in my dreams and this is a very good/ exceptionally good version! However; I do hear Phil Lynott vocals and Scott Gorham dueling leads even though they are not in this... absolutely incredible that Gary can pull it off nearly solo:-)
This kicks some major rock and roll ass 🎸 A power trio with Gary Moore not leaving one note behind!. Just fantastic! RIP Phil & Gary
Downey plays the drums effortlessly it is something else to watch how easy it looks with him doing it
Utterly awesome version of a classic track. Didn’t think he could better the OGWT version from 79 with Phil, think he’s done it here. RIP Gary and Phil

fantastic song. On a long highway in a warm summer night in denmark I heard this phenomenal guitar classic. Thanx for the best stuff I ever heard
jep!
Thin lizzy
Jens L. Yes he played in a forrest in Skanderborg not long after he made `still got the blues`
what a guitarist
Man gary couldn't half tare it up on a 6 string, great guitarist and sadly missed R.I.P Gary
Not just an incredible guitar player but a beautiful voice

wow a musical genius
...and the 33 people who gave a 'thumbs down'...well they can just get back to their (c)rap music!
rest in peace gary
Just try and tell me that's not the best guitar playing you've ever heard...
This solo is so good. I love it. He makes it look so easy. And I struggle to play it. Well I struggle to play it like he does
...if Phil Lynott and Scott Gorham aren't filling those roles; this treo of musicians are super tight!

He was a member of thin lizzy in his day . Another amazing irish legend Gary Moore rest in peace .

Best live concert on RUclips, Fantastic
He didn't even have to sing lyrics, because the guitar told the story on all, it's own

What a backline. AWESOME
I heard a rumour (a friendly rumour) that Gaz wrote this and Phil pinched it?
thx..for uploading...great song....R.I.P.Gary and Phil
Sheer perfection!
3 people without a clue~!!!
Two heros, both dead and gone now. What a group.
The best version is this for sure...
Is there any other guitarist as melodious as him?...duh?? What m i asking?..
Great player
both versions are great ....... R.I.P. Gary Moore

フィル亡き後、彼が背負ったものは凄く大きかったと…鬼神の様ですね😂
