There is an amazing live version of this which is definitely worth seeing. Parisian Walkways is amazing from him, both Gary and Phil Lynott remained best friends after he left Thin Lizzy and they even released music together - check out "Out in the Fields" which is pure 80's rock.
@Eric T...I've got that one, it's Gary Moore and The Midnight Blues Band. In the intro there's a really funny exchange between Albert King and Albert Collins. Unfortunately, it's on VHS..
Gary Moore and Phil Lynott did not speak to each other for 3 years after Gary left Lizzy (for the last time) in July 1979. Gary jumped ship in the middle of a big American tour. Just did not show up for the next gig. He was sick and tired of the drug use that was gong on, and believed it interfered with the music. Phil and Gary eventually made up, and for the last year of Lynotts life, they were friends again.
Gary was a monster player. Like others have said “Parisienne Walkways” is another must listen to slow burn bluesy number. He had two (or more!) distinct phases to his career. Post Thin Lizzy and through the 80s he was an out and out rocker - “Out in the Fields” (with Phil Lynott), “Wild Frontier” & “Over the Hills And Far Away” (which both showcase his Irish side), “Run For Cover” are great examples of his rock playing. “Empty Rooms” is a beautiful rock ballad. But in 1990 he rediscovered his blues influences and released some fantastic blues tracks. Great examples are “Cold Day In Hell”, “Since I Met You Baby” (with BB King), “Oh Pretty Woman” (with Albert King) and “Too Tired” (with Albert Collins) are great examples of his blues period.
Yes ! Parisienne Walkways" ! Insanely emotional guitar playing from Gary. But this one is a trimmed version ! No extended guitar solo at the end??? How come?
@@gfakruddinahmad8316 yes, shame it was the single edit not the album version. That outro solo on the extended album version is insane! Same thing happened when Jay and Amber did Dire Straits Sultans Of Swing. They, sadly, chose the single version which cuts out the best bit of the song too!
YOU GOT TO DO HIS LIVE VERSION IT'S A MUST PLEASE 🙏❤️✌🏾👍🏼 his guitar playing on the live version is like phenomenal he gets off and grips it and rips it like for real REST IN PEACE GARY
YES! It's about time I consider Gary Moore one of the very top guitarists ever you ought to check out Gary playing red house at the Fender 50th anniversary party
ROB SQUAD.. Gary had two musical era's as a solo artist, one was the hardrock era, and the last part before he died, was dedicated to blues. There are a huge catalog of Gary Moore songs in both genres. If you want guitar goosebumps, listen to "Parisienne walkway" "The loner" is another one. If you want the best balled ever, listen to "empty rooms" One of my top 5 favorite guitar players to ever walk the earth.
"Empty Rooms" = "Best Ballad Ever" 100% Agreement. Here's a link to what many true Gary Moore fans consider his greatest live performance of this song, at the Stockholm Isstadion, Sweden on the in 1987 "Wild Frontier" tour. ruclips.net/video/2YvJyLrdQwA/видео.html
@@mikemclaughlin3306 Gary played Strat and a super-Strat an awful lot for his heavy rock stuff (and Hamers too) and when I saw him live on several of his blues tours, as well as the Les Pauls, he played this gorgeous powder blue semi-hollow custom Telecaster type guitar. They all sounded amazing in his hands to be honest! No surprise there!
This song is 30 years old and is still superb. One of the greatest songs ever created. He adds a little guitar where it’s needed then saves the rest for the solo.
You should really check out Gary Moore and B.B. King - The Thrill is Gone. one of the best jams I've seen, the way two legends feed off of each other is a gift to the listener.
*I saw him Live when he opened for RUSH in May of 1984 at the Cow Palace SF. Yeah...he was really good. R.I.P. Mr. Gary. You can see Gary 'going off' on lead guitar for Thin Lizzy if you watch Thin Lizzy - Live (full concert Sydney Opera House 1978) when he briefly reunited with Thin Lizzy in 1978 to 1979. He does a really good cover of the Yardbirds song; Shapes of Things To Come."*
There is also a great live version of this song. He even has one of the best live performances with his Empty Rooms song. E-P-I-C!!!! And if you want a really bluesy track, you absolutely have to listen to As the Years Go Passing By. Phenomenal track.
Gary Moore is a guitar virtuoso. He played with another band called Colosseum ll in 1977. My favorite by them is an instrumental called "Intergalactic Strut".
Gary Moore separate ways live and story of the blues live wow. And Gary Moore and Albert King live in London wow just wow. And Gary Moore live the sky is crying. Gary the best guitar player ever
This is a great studio version of the song but to really hear Gary cut loose you need a live version. For your next song try a live version of "Parisienne Walkways". He did try some rock/metal in the 80s with his album "Victims of the Future"... the title track is a great song. He also did a nice rock ballad called "Empty Rooms"... but his main vein in music settled into blues.
One of the greatest blues guitarists ever. Long way too soon. Keep in mind before he really went into the blues he was just a straight-out rock and roller from back in the late seventies and early '80s. Then he turned to the blues and the rest is history RIP Gary Moore. He was also in a band called BBM which is basically supposed to be a reunion of cream but Eric Clapton backed out and he is the guitarist along with Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker from cream if you really want to hear something good check out that CD
This is an example of when your introduction is also my introduction to a new artist and a new sound. I've been into music seriously since I was 9 years old, owning my own stereo setup at 15 (purchased with me own hard-earned paper route money). I may be older than most of your subscribers (at 64), but I still LOVE finding new stuff I've never heard before and I have you two and your RUclips channel to thank for this find.
My middle daughter, Lauren, is a very dedicated guitarist. She is always plucking away at her guitar, just about everywhere she goes, got to love her. One time she was in the process of applying for a very competitive place in an over subscribed university course. She was required to do an audition. She said to me "Dad, what do you think I should do?". The wonderful Gary Moore had sadly just passed. I suggested that maybe she could do a Gary Moore Medley. She went away, practised, then went to the audition. The would-be students were queued up in the hallway waiting for their opportunity. Her name was called. She went in to the audition and channelled Gary Moore. She blew their socks off. When she came out she looked at all the waiting hopefuls. One was a friend she knew. He said "we heard your set, we're just talking about going home right now". Everybody, once they get to know his music, recognise Gary Moore's amazing compositions. Lauren got the placement and a 1/1 degree. Always loved his work, I always will.
For me Gary was the perfect blend of speed & feel. When he wanted to he could put it in overdrive and just rip , but man could he make notes sing for days also. Having Peter Green's '59 Les Paul with the out of phase neck pick up wiring didn't hurt either. That guitar is now owned by Kirk Hammett of Metallica. It's sad to know that Jeff Healy , SRV & Gary are no longer with us but thank god for the music they left behind that will be enjoyed forever !
That’s when Fleetwood Mac was really great when Peter was there. I loved the tribute album Gary did to Peter and that says everything about Peter’s quality.
I've been asking for you to do Gary Moore for ages. So glad you have finally got to him. A must listen for every Gary Moore future fan is "Parisienne Walkways Live" it will leave you awestruck.
I love Gary Moore. Some of my other favorite songs of his- "Looking for Someone", "Cold Black Night", "How Many Lies", "Enough of the Blues", "Don't you Lie to Me"- it actually keeps going on and on. Also for another great blues/rock artist is Kenny Wayne Shepherd. you need to list to "Blue on Black". Awesome song
Gary Moore had a love for the blues, blue grass, and the songs of his home country Ireland. He loved Irish folk music but he left Thin Lizzy because he lost a good friend in the band due to drugs, and Gary needed to get a way, concentrate on his music, clear his head, and slow down on his drug use. Unfortunately Gary loved to drink and that is what took him so young. A very talented man indeed and a down to earth person. We put these musicians and entertainers of all kinds on a pedestal when in all actuality they are just like us. Trying to enjoy their life and do what they love. The cost of fame is so high.
You guys are awesome my late lady and i loved our blues went to see a lot of blues greats b.b. king Albert king buddy guy Stevie ray, Robert cray twice he's track we liked was strong persuader, but fleetwood Mac had an early guitarist called peter green he did a track called Albatross then he went solo with in the skies album track I liked was fool no more, love you chemistry, your passion and love for music thank you so much
This is the purest of pure blues; MANY of the older rockers, especially the British Invasion guys, were bigtime Blues people. they make millions and then go back to playing what they really loved - Blues Music!!
So glad you found Gary Moore! Gary helped Phil out in Thin Lizzy when Phil needed him. Gary loved Phil like a brother, but couldn't stand being around Phil's hard drug abuse. The Black Rose album, and especially the track, "Róisín Dubh (Black Rose): A Rock Legend" is an amazing collaboration that deserves the title Epic. Gary's career covered almost all genres of Guitar from Jazz Fusion, to Hard Rock/Metal to the Blues, which was his last genre and brought him the most success in the United States with this song. I believe "Parisienne Walkways" his duet with Phil was his biggest hit in Great Britain. A great song to feature next.
So cool that you reacted to Gary Moore. He is an artist that needs more recognition. As others have said the live versions of "Parisian Walkways" is a can't miss. Also, if Amber is into the "bluesy" guitarists, Rory Gallagher is another one I think you would both like. "Calling Card" (live) from the BBC sessions is an awesome blues song.
One of my favourite Gary Moore tracks. Another Irish guitarist you will love is the great Rory Gallagher. 'What In The World', from the BBC Sessions is a beautiful slow blues, his 'A Million Miles Away' from the live album Irish Tour '74 is a classic, or for something a bit funkier, try 'Do You Read Me' from his Rock Goes To College performance. He also played some great acoustic blues such as 'Pistol Slapper Blues/Too Much Alcohol' from the RTE Me and My Music show 1977.
Gary Moore (born 1952, died 2011) was a legendary Irish blues guitarist, who started in the 60's and was friends w/ (the late) Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzy - he would play shows w/ the band, but only appeared on 1 Thin Lizzy album 'Black rose' (1979). It was in the 80's when Gary Moore established himself as a solo artist... his mix of old school blues and 80's rock made him a big name in Europe & Asia (he only had minor success in the USA) His 1985 album 'Run for cover' had the single 'Out in the fields' (co-written by Phil Lynott) and 'Empty rooms'... His 1987 album 'Wild frontier' (dedicated to the memory of Phil Lynott, who died in 1986) had the single 'Over the hills and far away' (which was covered by Nightwish). He followed it up w/ the album 'After the war' in 1989... then scored a gold album (half million copies) in the US in 1990 - 'Still got the blues'... Followed by the album 'After hours' in 1992. Subsequent Gary Moore records did not sell well in the 90's and beyond, but he kept recording and touring, until his death in early 2011.
Want more Gary Moore blues? Check out “Jumpin at Shadows” “As the years go passing by” and “Midnight Blues”… It’s too bad you watched the official video, because you missed out on the outgoing solo of the original studio recording. You’d have loved that, for sure.
You really need to watch the live version of this song with over 80 million views. You will really see and appreciate his skills with a guitar. Another one that was gone way too soon.
Man!! When ever you see vids of him playing in concert, he indeed did put everything into his playing. He sweats profusely and his face shows sweet pain.
Very cool, guys... thanks!!! Gary was definitely in a class of elite guitarists. Knowing how you guys love B.B.King, you'll love this video even if quality is not the best: Gary Moore & B.B. King - The Thrill Is Gone (live in London 1992) You will also like Colin James - Why'd you Lie ... which is similar genre.
While the album and single "Still Got The Blues" is what he is best known for, the album that followed it , "After Hours" was his best. "Cold Day In Hell", "Since I met You Baby (with B.B. King)" and "Fool In Town" are standouts on basically a 10 out of 10 album.
I agree - After Hours is a wonderful album. A copy of the CD is in my car at the moment. There was a live album around the same time - probably unofficial - called Blues from a Gun, and that was my introduction to many of the tracks from After Hours. Story of the Blues is my favourite.
As you continue on your musical Journeys you're certain to, sooner or later discover the roots, the original Blues greats. Among them we have three Kings - Albert, B.B., and Freddie King I hope it doesn't take too long discovering these greats and share them with your audience
I agree! I've also suggested both Albert and Freddie. I think Jordan would enjoy Freddie's "Big Legged Woman" ruclips.net/video/HXXkD7Dvq_E/видео.html It's so damn fun to watch Freddie's face and body movements when he plays.
Great reaction to a great guitarist, but to complete the set of legendary Irish Guitarists you should check out Rory Gallagher, Shin Kicker Live would be a good place to start.
You guys would be blown away by Gary's version of The Messiah Will Come Again live at Montreux. It's a instrumental and the guitar work will bring you to tears. The song doesn't need lyrics because Gary says everything you need to hear through his guitar. His finest live performance.
Rob Squad! This version here is the one for us mere mortals :) It's true that the Live version has angels crying along with it... try and check it out....the whole last part of the performance is his heartfelt solos that reaches deep into your soul. Love you guys!
This is such a banger! One of my absolute favourite songs ever! That guitar, man!! Love his voice on this aswell! Please react to Jessie by Joshua Kadison 😀
Guys, you have to listen to “Empty Rooms” next. Gary Moore inexplicably flew under the radar and is most definitely one of the best guitar players ever.
Gary have many good songs but I would like to suggest a reaction to Rory Gallagher, another great guitarist, and his wonderful song "I fall apart". Enjoy it ❤️
If you want to check out Gary Moore in another band I would suggest "BBM". It's an unknown supergroup with Gary Moore and two guys from Cream. He essentially replaced Eric Clapton's role in Cream. BBM are the initials of the surnames of Ginger Baker, Jack Bruce and Gary Moore. I would suggest that you check out the song by BBM called "Waiting in the wings, here's the link ruclips.net/video/hLGDd9Y7Vnc/видео.html. Also, you should really react to a live performance of "Still got the blues" with Gary Moore because the guitar solos are longer and more intense.
I just had to subscribe when I saw you"ll were reacting to Gary Moore . The Greatest Guitar player ❤ 👌 !But you'll really need to hear him live ! Just Ammazing !!
I concur with those folks steering you to the live. Generally if there’s a great guitarist the live versions are going to feature extended solos. This is no exception.
As others have mentioned, you have to hear the live version. Another to check out is 'Oh, Pretty Woman', a duet with Albert King. (It's not the Orbison/Van Halen song.) The guitar playing from both legends on one track is sooooo good. ruclips.net/video/J6oDdgrbmeE/видео.html
you missed so much without the live version, long solo, a crying guitar, the expressions on his face, A masterpiece ...don't make the mistake of missing out on that one
Gary Moore was in Thin Lizzy two times both times to fill in for other guitar players that left or were injured. He has always been one of my favorites. If Amber want's more guitar solos you need to check out the live version of this song the solos will blow you away
The first time I heard this song I was parking my car in the carport and had to stay for the whole song. He's an epic guitar player. Loved this song so much!
Gary Moore has been one of my favorites, he is an amazing guitarist. You must listen to more of his catalog. This song has always been a favorite of mine, I just love it. Great reaction!
Friend of mine introduced me to Gary Moore years ago. Two of his that I love are Cold Day in Hell, and Story of the Blues Great feelings and great guitar work in both tunes. Peace!
There is an amazing live version of this which is definitely worth seeing. Parisian Walkways is amazing from him, both Gary and Phil Lynott remained best friends after he left Thin Lizzy and they even released music together - check out "Out in the Fields" which is pure 80's rock.

Gary live is by far the best way to listen to him
Great recommendations!
Absolutely!!!
And you have to listen to the full length version of the song! The guitar solo at the end of this song is the best part of it.
Gary poured his heart and soul into every note. RIP, Gary. Another great reaction. 👍
Arguably the most versatile and finest player ever.
Shame you got the short version.
You need to watch the live version

I agree. The live version is superior IMHO.
You mean this one? ruclips.net/video/YQ2nHgZcf3I/видео.html
Yup.
Best way to listen to it is live same way you listen to Rory Gallagher live.😊 Thanks.
You MUST do Gary’s Parisienne Walkways with Thin Lizzy’s Phil Lynott, superb
YES! It's about time I consider Gary Moore one of the very top guitarists ever you ought to check out Gary playing red house at the Fender 50th anniversary party
Best ever tribute to hendrix .phenomenal guitarist.my hero.rip gary.
Gary Moore was one of the best guitarists in the World ever RIP Gary ❤❤❤🇦🇺
His live performance of this is even better. He plays the guitar with such feeling. Like tears dripping off it. So beautiful.
ROB SQUAD.. Gary had two musical era's as a solo artist, one was the hardrock era, and the last part before he died, was dedicated to blues.
There are a huge catalog of Gary Moore songs in both genres.
If you want guitar goosebumps, listen to "Parisienne walkway"
"The loner" is another one.
If you want the best balled ever, listen to "empty rooms"
One of my top 5 favorite guitar players to ever walk the earth.
"Empty Rooms" = "Best Ballad Ever" 100% Agreement. Here's a link to what many true Gary Moore fans consider his greatest live performance of this song, at the Stockholm Isstadion, Sweden on the in 1987 "Wild Frontier" tour. ruclips.net/video/2YvJyLrdQwA/видео.html

Parisienne Walkways featuring Phil Lynott. In fact i'm going to listen too it again right now.
His guitar feel….his bends, his phrasing, the way he pulls emotion out of his instrument, reminds me ALLOT of David Gilmore.
Yup. I wonder how each would sound if they switched.... Moore with a strat and Gilmour with the les Paul
@@mikemclaughlin3306 Gary played Strat and a super-Strat an awful lot for his heavy rock stuff (and Hamers too) and when I saw him live on several of his blues tours, as well as the Les Pauls, he played this gorgeous powder blue semi-hollow custom Telecaster type guitar. They all sounded amazing in his hands to be honest! No surprise there!
The version of "Parisienne Walkways" from the "Blues Alive" album is one of the greatest recordings ever.
What a voice and the guitar playing is amazing!
This is a guy that y’all need to do a deep dive on. I promise you will not be disappointed!!!
He could play anything from blues to Heavy Rock! A versatile and very gifted musician may he rest in peace!
This song is 30 years old and is still superb. One of the greatest songs ever created. He adds a little guitar where it’s needed then saves the rest for the solo.
You have to hear the full version, the last solo that they cut short and faded out is fire.
indeed, this version sucked, the real solo was about to begin when it fade out...
Yes, he is about to switch to the rear pickup and tear it up
Gary was an AMAZING Guitarist. Some other great tunes by Gary Moore are Parisian sidewalks, and apropos for Easter, his "The Messiah will come again."
You should really check out Gary Moore and B.B. King - The Thrill is Gone. one of the best jams I've seen, the way two legends feed off of each other is a gift to the listener.
Hell yeah!!! 🍻
I have to say one thing guys, You have to seek out the live version, You will be blown away i promise. RIP Gary.
Gary should always be done live. Mind blowing. 🤘🎸

And if you want a really bluesy track, you absolutely have to listen to As the Years Go Passing By. Phenomenal track.
I just caught this. I forgot how much I loved it. Made me cry.I'm not sure why
Gary Moore is a guitar virtuoso. He played with another band called Colosseum ll in 1977. My favorite by them is an instrumental called "Intergalactic Strut".
Gary Moore is STILL , MY ALL TIME FAVOURITE , guitarist 🥹🥹🤘🏾🤘🏾🔥🔥🔥
I'm going to be honest I have never heard this before. I like it though
Do yourself a huge favour and check out the live version - your mind will be blown.
Gary Moore separate ways live and story of the blues live wow. And Gary Moore and Albert King live in London wow just wow. And Gary Moore live the sky is crying. Gary the best guitar player ever

That’s when Fleetwood Mac was really great when Peter was there. I loved the tribute album Gary did to Peter and that says everything about Peter’s quality.
Gary Moore RIP... Should've watch the LIVE version.. Pure unedited skill.
The song that really captures the virtuosity of Gary Moore is the live Montreaux version of The Messiah Will Come Again from 1990.
Oh yesssss🎸👍, Gary Moore, great great ARTIST💓
Probably already suggested, but the Thin Lizzy version of Don't Believe A Word performed on the Old Grey Whistle Test show is the banger of bangers.
I've been asking for you to do Gary Moore for ages. So glad you have finally got to him. A must listen for every Gary Moore future fan is "Parisienne Walkways Live" it will leave you awestruck.
This song played live is a magnitude better.
Thank you, Ireland for Roy, and Gary.
I love Gary Moore. Some of my other favorite songs of his- "Looking for Someone", "Cold Black Night", "How Many Lies", "Enough of the Blues", "Don't you Lie to Me"- it actually keeps going on and on.

I never get tired of this song. Love that riff
Joe B loves Gary. There is an amazing video of Gary with B B. Very few compare to Gary ❤️
Another fantastic blues artist is Buddy Guy. He's highly animated & talented, the consummate showman..
Buddy Guy is awesome and influenced so many guitar players. One of my favorite songs titles is "Cheaper To Keep Her" :D
Buddy Guy is one of the greats. Well respected by the bands of the British Invasion.
Buddy is my main man!
This is the purest of pure blues; MANY of the older rockers, especially the British Invasion guys, were bigtime Blues people. they make millions and then go back to playing what they really loved - Blues Music!!

I believe "Parisienne Walkways" his duet with Phil was his biggest hit in Great Britain. A great song to feature next.
So much pain and feeling packed into every note. RIP Gary.
So cool that you reacted to Gary Moore. He is an artist that needs more recognition. As others have said the live versions of "Parisian Walkways" is a can't miss. Also, if Amber is into the "bluesy" guitarists, Rory Gallagher is another one I think you would both like. "Calling Card" (live) from the BBC sessions is an awesome blues song.
Absolutely, the Hammersmith Odeon 1977 version is brilliant too.
One of my favourite Gary Moore tracks.
Another Irish guitarist you will love is the great Rory Gallagher. 'What In The World', from the BBC Sessions is a beautiful slow blues, his 'A Million Miles Away' from the live album Irish Tour '74 is a classic, or for something a bit funkier, try 'Do You Read Me' from his Rock Goes To College performance. He also played some great acoustic blues such as 'Pistol Slapper Blues/Too Much Alcohol' from the RTE Me and My Music show 1977.
Personally, I think they would like "Shin Kicker" from the Montreaux performance in '76 was it? Do you think they are ready for Roy Buchannan? I do.
@@notedrockhistorian4382 79,yeah that's a good one.
You really need to add Peter Green to your watch list. From the original Fleetwood Mac
Gary Moore (born 1952, died 2011) was a legendary Irish blues guitarist, who started in the 60's and was friends w/ (the late) Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzy - he would play shows w/ the band, but only appeared on 1 Thin Lizzy album 'Black rose' (1979).
It was in the 80's when Gary Moore established himself as a solo artist... his mix of old school blues and 80's rock made him a big name in Europe & Asia (he only had minor success in the USA) His 1985 album 'Run for cover' had the single 'Out in the fields' (co-written by Phil Lynott) and 'Empty rooms'... His 1987 album 'Wild frontier' (dedicated to the memory of Phil Lynott, who died in 1986) had the single 'Over the hills and far away' (which was covered by Nightwish).
He followed it up w/ the album 'After the war' in 1989... then scored a gold album (half million copies) in the US in 1990 - 'Still got the blues'... Followed by the album 'After hours' in 1992.
Subsequent Gary Moore records did not sell well in the 90's and beyond, but he kept recording and touring, until his death in early 2011.
Want more Gary Moore blues? Check out “Jumpin at Shadows” “As the years go passing by” and “Midnight Blues”… It’s too bad you watched the official video, because you missed out on the outgoing solo of the original studio recording. You’d have loved that, for sure.
I know, right!!?? Major bummer.
First time hearing it today, and I was just blown away by it.
You really need to watch the live version of this song with over 80 million views. You will really see and appreciate his skills with a guitar. Another one that was gone way too soon.
Man!! When ever you see vids of him playing in concert, he indeed did put everything into his playing. He sweats profusely and his face shows sweet pain.
Very cool, guys... thanks!!! Gary was definitely in a class of elite guitarists.
Knowing how you guys love B.B.King, you'll love this video even if quality is not the best:
Gary Moore & B.B. King - The Thrill Is Gone (live in London 1992)
You will also like Colin James - Why'd you Lie ... which is similar genre.
I have listened to this song over 1000 times in my life and I expect to hear it another 1000 , my go to song. You will enjoy his cover of Red House.
While the album and single "Still Got The Blues" is what he is best known for, the album that followed it , "After Hours" was his best. "Cold Day In Hell", "Since I met You Baby (with B.B. King)" and "Fool In Town" are standouts on basically a 10 out of 10 album.
I agree - After Hours is a wonderful album. A copy of the CD is in my car at the moment. There was a live album around the same time - probably unofficial - called Blues from a Gun, and that was my introduction to many of the tracks from After Hours. Story of the Blues is my favourite.
One of the most underrated performers ever. A true legend to the people that appreciated him.
As you continue on your musical Journeys you're certain to, sooner or later discover the roots, the original Blues greats. Among them we have three Kings - Albert, B.B., and Freddie King I hope it doesn't take too long discovering these greats and share them with your audience
I agree! I've also suggested both Albert and Freddie. I think Jordan would enjoy Freddie's "Big Legged Woman"
ruclips.net/video/HXXkD7Dvq_E/видео.html
It's so damn fun to watch Freddie's face and body movements when he plays.
Christone Kingfish Ingram is a young blues musician who has been described as singing like Albert, looking like Freddie and playing like BB.
@@teerat8451 thanks I'll be sure to check him out
"Parisienne Walkways" is a must listen by Gary Moore. Classic guitar solo. Much love from England 🏴
Great reaction to a great guitarist, but to complete the set of legendary Irish Guitarists you should check out Rory Gallagher, Shin Kicker Live would be a good place to start.
They really should react to Rory, Jamel aka Jamal has already done four Rory reactions.
You've got some top talent here...RIP brother Gary...a truly awesome artist that always gave 150 percent!
I cried like a baby when Gary passed away. I had been listening to him for decades and he was in my top 3 favorites.
You guys would be blown away by Gary's version of The Messiah Will Come Again live at Montreux. It's a instrumental and the guitar work will bring you to tears.
The song doesn't need lyrics because Gary says everything you need to hear through his guitar. His finest live performance.
Gary Moore, sin duda entre los más grandes guitarristas de la historia. Al igual que otros grandes músicos, nos dejó demasiado pronto. R.I.P. 💔
I cant tell you how much I love Gary Moore! Saw him live in Denmark and it was amazing! Best guitarist ever!!
Great artist & song, just a shame they didn't tell you to find a live version featuring Gary in full, melt-your-face-off multiple guitar solo mode.
rory will like you too.
B.B. King is "The king of the Blues" and he can make his guitar talk (Luoille). Give him a listen with his song "The Thrill Is Gone" the long version.
I missed his timeline and regret not being there,,, for him.
Rob Squad! This version here is the one for us mere mortals :)
It's true that the Live version has angels crying along with it... try and check it out....the whole last part of the performance is his heartfelt solos that reaches deep into your soul.
Love you guys!
Listen to all of you’re love Gary Moore, another great soulful song
This is such a banger! One of my absolute favourite songs ever! That guitar, man!! Love his voice on this aswell!
Please react to Jessie by Joshua Kadison 😀
Guys, you have to listen to “Empty Rooms” next. Gary Moore inexplicably flew under the radar and is most definitely one of the best guitar players ever.
Gary have many good songs but I would like to suggest a reaction to Rory Gallagher, another great guitarist, and his wonderful song "I fall apart". Enjoy it ❤️
Definitely!
Daughtry… home
If you want to check out Gary Moore in another band I would suggest "BBM". It's an unknown supergroup with Gary Moore and two guys from Cream. He essentially replaced Eric Clapton's role in Cream. BBM are the initials of the surnames of Ginger Baker, Jack Bruce and Gary Moore. I would suggest that you check out the song by BBM called "Waiting in the wings, here's the link ruclips.net/video/hLGDd9Y7Vnc/видео.html.
Also, you should really react to a live performance of "Still got the blues" with Gary Moore because the guitar solos are longer and more intense.
@Stubble Mcshave...if you care to wander the halls of obscurity, here's another: West, Bruce, and Laing. Leslie West is a beast...
I just had to subscribe when I saw you"ll were reacting to Gary Moore . The Greatest Guitar player ❤ 👌 !But you'll really need to hear him live ! Just Ammazing !!
Speaking of Gary Moore, he actually features on the song "She's My Baby" with *The Traveling Wilburys.* You guys will ROCK OUT! 🤘😝
Gary was one of the guitarists from Thin Lizzy. Gary Moore was a phenomenal rock guitarist, too.
I concur with those folks steering you to the live.
Generally if there’s a great guitarist the live versions are going to feature extended solos. This is no exception.
Ain't nuthin' like the blues! Peace and Happy Easter!
As others have mentioned, you have to hear the live version. Another to check out is 'Oh, Pretty Woman', a duet with Albert King. (It's not the Orbison/Van Halen song.) The guitar playing from both legends on one track is sooooo good. ruclips.net/video/J6oDdgrbmeE/видео.html
Great blues numbers by Gary were Separate Ways and I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know. Brings tears to my eyes.
you missed so much without the live version, long solo, a crying guitar, the expressions on his face, A masterpiece ...don't make the mistake of missing out on that one
Gary Moore was in Thin Lizzy two times both times to fill in for other guitar players that left or were injured. He has always been one of my favorites. If Amber want's more guitar solos you need to check out the live version of this song the solos will blow you away
His crisp clean sound of the guitar reminds me of Roy Buchanan just superb to listen to. UP LOUD
The first time I heard this song I was parking my car in the carport and had to stay for the whole song. He's an epic guitar player. Loved this song so much!
Gary Moore has been one of my favorites, he is an amazing guitarist. You must listen to more of his catalog. This song has always been a favorite of mine, I just love it. Great reaction!
I love this song, my brothers band. Used to cover this song in their band. My mom used to love to see him play this song. He played the lead guitar.
Friend of mine introduced me to Gary Moore years ago. Two of his that I love are Cold Day in Hell, and Story of the Blues Great feelings and great guitar work in both tunes. Peace!
I loved this when it first came out. The blue/grey colour scheme of the video is perfect for the song.
