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.
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 .
I agree with you on Gary being the best guitarist the British isles has ever produced, he’s my all time favourite, but in regards to people saying he’s underrated I think they mean in today’s climate with him being massively under looked by so called experts when they come up with these top 100 guitarists ever lists. Most people in there right mind know how talented he was and would put him in these lists full stop
"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."
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...
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!
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:-)
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.
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
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!!
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.
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.
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
This man was a gift to the world. Sustain for generations and so articulated. One of the best of the style. Actually one of the best of all time. RIP. Mr. Moore. Can't thank you enough for everyrhing.
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....
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
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
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.:)
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
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.
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.
R.I.P. Gary Moore - an amazing and very talented guitarist who brings/brought this brilliant Thin Lizzy song back to life without Philo on bass or on vocals - job very well done! Well, where you are now, I'm sure Philo's back on bass and vocals, so you can concentrate on that blistering guitar work of yours.
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.
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🎸!🎶!🎸
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 a monster
But joan jet is on that list?
on any guitar list, gary has to be top 10. greatest guitarist of all time
It´s the rolling stone, she has to be :)(:

One of the greatest players ever. Criminally underrated
1000%
Chills everytime with this . RIP Gary. One of the greatest ever
Agree! If not the greatest. Great guitar playing, with feeling, also singing. Great blues player
"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."
Awesome statement!
Russ Boyes not me ..big beautiful Philip.
Frank Krank Yes of course...
@@@frankkrank3970...I think that Philo clarification was necessary, especially in the context of a Gary Moore video
@@Gerard_2024 .. on a song that Phil co-wrote with Moores
Love it when Brian cranks it up at 4:50 One of the best drummers on the planet!
Downey plays the drums effortlessly it is something else to watch how easy it looks with him doing it

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:-)

Gary is a example of what passion can create .. GREATNESS!
Two heros, both dead and gone now. What a group.
...if Phil Lynott and Scott Gorham aren't filling those roles; this treo of musicians are super tight!
Nothing tops old grey whistle test version. That is the greatest live jam ever recorded for tv.
With Moore playing Peter Green's Les Paul "Greenie!"
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 best version is this for sure...
This kicks some major rock and roll ass 🎸 A power trio with Gary Moore not leaving one note behind!. Just fantastic! RIP Phil & Gary
RIP Gary Moore a master of guitar!
This man was a gift to the world. Sustain for generations and so articulated. One of the best of the style. Actually one of the best of all time. RIP. Mr. Moore. Can't thank you enough for everyrhing.

In no certain order... but I do like playing Gibsons.:)
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
The world's #1 Plank spanker on the Holy Grail guitar. Too great 👍
He was a member of thin lizzy in his day . Another amazing irish legend Gary Moore rest in peace .
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
Garry is the only guy who can wear a polka dot shirt on stage and get off with it 😂
anyone that can wear the orange leather sleeveless he had in the 80’s…. bad ass was afraid of nothing 😂
That Bass sound is just Awesome. Headphones on, turn it up!
Agreed!
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.
wow a musical genius
One of if not my favourite favourite guitar players.
Could play anything. Any style. A true guitar legend. RIP.
Sadly sadly missed
Rest in Peace Gary Moore
you will always be missed love your voice

Saw Gary when he was just 16 - blew me away then and now!
HolyPhuckinGShit! That is pure fire. Sparks coming off that guitar. The whole universe heard that. Tone for days!
That 4 stringer is the quintessential bass machine while Gary is is the electrified intrinsical culmination of the Blues!
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
Nothing short of stupendous. It just doesn't get any better than this. Gary was the greatest.
