Not often I would put Gary Moores work in 2nd place but on this occasion Brian edges it. His guitar sound is as sharp as a Glasgow street gangs razor
That tone pierces even a heart of steel,Robbo rocks
Robbo was so great
I take offence at your Glaswegian comment:
Robbo is not a Glaswegian he’s from Clarkston FFS. I’m sure he wouldn’t have a problem with your ignorance. But, you might think that your hip and witty with your comment, but your so so wrong.
@@cyclesgoff9768I know of Robbo from Glasgow so I appreciated that reference. I’ll certainly research that further. Cheers mate!
I'm also a big Gary Moore fan. Robertson was sloppy at times, but had his great moments, just like that version. I recommend watching the live versions of Moore from 78, when he returned to Lizzy, as well as Sykes's Live Life version. That's the beautiful thing, we can enjoy so many different versions! Also I'm pretty sure this is a Gary song, it has his fingerprints all over it, a lot of his later ballads are based on that.
Huge Gary fan. He’s one of the best ever imo. But Robbo’s work on this is Perfect. So so good.
100% agree 👍
Let's be grateful that we got 2 Great versions.
Gary for writting it!
Robbo for playing it!
Lizzy for the magic!
THAT IS THE CORRECT ANSWER 😉👏👏👏👏👏
I am always amazed at just how many brilliant guitarists were in Lizzy at one time or another, yes we all have our favorites but every guitarist they had gave something special to the Lizzy legend
I totally agree, can't think of another band that had that many great players other than maybe Megadeth but obviously a different style
Both great solos, definitely Robo's finest moment.
Indeed ☺️ My other favourite Robbo solo is the live version of Opium Trail absolutely on 🔥
I must say - hard to choose...each player has his own style. But please - let's not forget the sublime second solo on L&D by Scott Gorham. He tends to get overlooked in this discussion and would be a worthwhile third part to this video Craig.
EXCEPTIONAL work btw Craig!
@@petetravers7363 thank you mate 👍 I'll do Scott's solo at some point 😉
Scott's solos on the studio albums during the Robbo era are very tasty indeed !
@@TheHumbuckerboy I particularly love the intro to Dear Lord total chills from Scott on that one
@@craigpriceguitaristAbsolutely !
Sublime ❤ extremely sublime and I can’t stop listening ❤ it’s engraved in me now ❤
Greetings from Romania!
R.I.P the one and only Mr. Gary Moore!
The cannot be a comparison between Mr. Gary Moore and Mr. Brian Robertson.
They are both 2 guitar Gods.
Love Robbos playing but Gary Moore was a genius
I totally agree 100% Gary could nail absolutely ANY style he is sorely missed 10 years gone tomorrow 😥
Robertson all day long and twice on Sunday.
😂😉👍
Robbo...more feeling, less shredding
First of all Craig , an amazing tribute , absolutely spot on , you have a gift . Gary Moore i believe wrote this amazing solo , Brian Robbo Robertson improved it and made his version a classic , loved his playing at such a young age too
Cheers Ian 😁👍Yes Gary wrote the solo but Robbo made it his own 🤟
Gary created the solo and Robbo left it mostly the same. But I need to go with Robbo because it's the greatest versions of the song and secondly it's LIVE ..robbo does not get enough credit being so young at the time....
Gary gets the nod for creating it but I love robbo interpretation and feel
It's crazy what Robbo played on those albums between 1974 and 1978 and to think he was only 21 when Phil gave him his marching orders
@@craigpriceguitarist absolutely!!
He is overlook so much but his style, feel and live playing is right up there with anyone..I have always picked him as one of my favorite of all time...if only he wouldn't gotten into a fight with the band Gonzalez of all bands to get into a fight with ....lol....who knows what music they would have been able to make
@@powerage17 it was Garry's solo to begin with but here Robbo does improve on the original. GREAT solo melody anyway..
@@craigpriceguitarist Ok Ill go along with that - great guitarist. Both him and SG were perfect together.
I saw Brian RObertson with Thin Lizzyand Wild Horses and Gary Moore 3 times Gm was miles ahead and no one love solo covered with echoplex is not the same
OMG, I'm the biggest Gary fan. Ever , had my first kiss to him, back in 78...but always maintained that the best silwy solo was Robbos on land d just effing soars... Can Here the rafters applauding..... Love it.
Gary every time
The comments center around the two axemen. I want to tribute you, Craig, for bringing it to us. Well done, sir!! I think I'll have another listen.....
😂😁🙏🤟
Priceless!
Nicely played! Robbo felt Gary’s original on Nightlife couldn’t be bettered, so he refused to re-record it but for me his version on Live & Dangerous took it to another level - the audience response speaks volumes :)
I did not know who played that on the live version, but to me, it exudes emotion. It tells the story of love and loss and was exactly what I was feeling. It is a shame the comparison did not go to the next part of this because the uplift in emotion from Robertson is just brilliant. Love, loss, then you move on. Not many musicians can portray that.
Gary Moore was a true guitar genius. Able to llld Jazz, Blues and Rock styles into incredible tunes. RIP Champ.
got to give the edge to Gary. the clean tone, the space, the strangness. plus Gary's second solo is a masterpiece as well. but I love both.
.....the best gig i ever had was playing in a Lizzy tribute band.....i played the William Scott Gorham solo....loved it....nice job, bro.
Loved gary moore but my favourite rendition has always been Brian's live version you nailed by the way
Thanks 😃 yes Robbo's solo has the edge here😉
Robbo gets your body wanting more and his breaks are spot on.
Both top notch performances, and why even choose ! I always thought the original version had a feel of Santana, again brilliant .
I know it's essentially the same song, but I wasn't keen on the original solo, but Robbo's version of it has got to be my favourite solo of all time, in my favourite song of all time. I think that (at long last.....) Robbo now appears to be getting the recognition he deserves for his gigantic contribution to Lizzy's guitar sound, during what was - let's face it - Lizzy's best era. I remember going to Stafford Bingley Hall to see them after he left, hoping that some-way he might have re-joined them. Sadly not.
Robbo and Gorham were the dream team Lizzy was never the same after he left although there's still a lot of great material
Robertson's is the classic and genius on live and dangerous..btw John Sykes is pretty good too
I actually really like Snowy White's take on the new boxset great feel
Both players are absolute idols to me. To my mind, the solo Robbo plays on the 'Live and Dangerous' video is just sublime. When I first heard that, I became a massive fan. Back in those days, the early 1980's, before internet, it was difficult to find out any other albums Robbo had played on. Then I was shocked to see him with Motorhead!
They're both idols to me too, Gary could play any style and nail it I don't know of another guitarist that was a versatile as him. Robbo was so great I just wish he had done more. I love Another Perfect Day it was the only Motorhead album I ever owned only because of Robbo 🔥
That tone,that playing from Robbo just pierces heart,it's just so lyrical.Robbo is the harder version of Dave Gilmour stinging guitar. So simple but yet so emotional.
Funny enough I thought Robbo's version was the original ( probably 'cos I heard his first ) but if I had to choose; I would go with the Brian Robertson version as the better version ... you can really hear the 'heartbreak ' in it...
Also I think both Robertson and Scott Gorman ( the prettiest man I had ever seen growing up) were two of the most underrated guitarists in rock music history.... !!!
Never understood why neither of them ever get a mention in the top 100 Greatest Guitarist listings ....
But this is easily one of the greatest love songs ever written - up there with 'I want your Love' by Chic ! and as part of the ' Bass players union' Phil has written his Best Bass line - right there ....!
Masterpiece!
Robbo and Scott were such a great team and when u look at it they only played together for about 5 years they achieved a lot in a short time. Lizzy as a whole are completely underrated and the reason they barely get mentioned is because the majority of poll results are based on popularity. Those of us that know, know 😉
Moore always seemed like he was playing by the numbers - Robbo always played from his heart.
Nice cover, man!
This guitar solo is quite an interesting example of how different guitarists develop a single idea. Gary Moore recorded the original, then Brian Robertson took Gary's foundation and played his version. Finally, John Sykes came up with his own variant, but based on Robertson's version.
Notably, in Sykes' "final" version, there are phrases from both Gary's and Brian's solos. Although my favorite guitarist is Gary Moore, when I heard Sykes' version, the other versions ceased to exist for me. John achieved perfection. I would place Brian's solo in second place.
As previous said, each one has an original style, but of course loving Gary's one. And u mate has a really good picking and talented perform each one, congrats! Keep rockin
Nice playing dude,,the delay for the Robbo tone is far better at 220 ish milliseconds with 5/ 6 repeats ,,,loved it !
Cheers mate 😉 I didn't overthink it its pretty close, maybe not exact timing with the delay
Enjoyed your video and comparison very much! It’s fairly well known that during the recording of “Nightlife” Brian Robertson refused to track over the solo Gary Moore had previously laid down and even later admitted he used it as his “template”. I will say that “Robbos” solo on “Live & Dangerous” might be his very best at least on that album. I’ve found it interesting that among the many boot leg recordings that have popped up in the last few years Robertson never once play the L&D solo “note for note” again and during the “Tribute to Philip Lynott” show that Gary Moore lead the effort on when Brian Robertson gets up on stage to do “Still in Love” with Moore he seems to be but a shell of his former feisty Wah-Wah/Echo-Plex self. I got to see Gary Moore when the boys were in the middle of the famous Queen/Lizzy Tour in March of 1977. I went to see “Queen” but went home a Lizzy fan (and have been ever since). IMHO Gary Moore in March of 1977 was as dynamic of a guitar player as there was in the world at that time and the energy level that “Lizzy” as a band threw down in one 55 minute set was utterly breathtaking! Later that September I saw them again on the first leg of the “Bad Reputation” Tour with Robertson back in the fold and although it was still a good show it did not match the sheer intensity of a band that was clearly firing on all cylinders on that night.
Wow I'm jealous of anyone that saw lizzy at the height of their powers great memories to have mate👍😉 Unfortunately I was only 8 when they split so didnt discover them till after Phil had passed when they released the Dedication album. I was lucky enough to catch Gary on the After Hours tour where I stood right in front of him and he tore my face off haha. I managed to catch Robbo live a couple of times in the mid 90s at the Are You Ready show at Wolverhampton Civic and then with the Clan about a year later. From what I have heard Robbo really suffered with stage fright later on and the way he plays with his back to the audience on the One Night In Dublin concert is very telling. Gary is my all time favourite player but Robbo and Scott were Thin Lizzy 🤟
@@craigpriceguitarist Very interesting regarding Robbo’s “stage fight” I did not know that. I can’t argue with you (and the legions really 😂) that the Lynott/Downey/Robertson/Gorham was the ultimate line up however
I felt there was a very natural chemistry that existed between Moore & Lynott and it seemed to affect Scott Gorham as well. When I saw them
the first time with Moore all three of them were just all over the stage interacting with each other continuously their stage presence was utterly contagious (the next day in HS most of the people I knew who were there all agreed that Thin Lizzy owned the stage that night). When I saw them just 7 months later with “Robbo” they sounded great but were overall more subdued (at the time I passed it off to the fact that it was the first show of the first leg of that tour but hindsight I look at it a bit differently: We now know that there was a lot of tension between Lynott & Robbo at the time and his days in Lizzy were numbered). Robertson stayed on his side of the stage (and chain smoked the entire set), did not interact with Lynott or Gorham once, and was not interested in as he likes to say “throwing shapes” (not a term musicians use in my part of the world). I do feel lucky that I did get to see them at their zenith even though I was very young (I’ve read about fans that went to dozens and even hundreds of shows). I’m jealous you got to see Gary Moore he was indeed a very, very, special musician. ♠️♥️♣️♦️🤟
@@user-nk1yu9cw8o I totally agree the chemistry between Phillip and Gary always brought great material and if the shows you saw were anything like the Sydney harbor gig then I can only dream of the intensity haha. Robbo from the footage I've seen never used to jump around like Gary did. The thing that always blow me away about Robbo was he was only 17 when he joined lizzy and just 21 when he was finally let go
@@craigpriceguitarist Seventeen is indeed young but “Robbo” sure did have the chops & swagger to back it up! Thought you might dig hearing this bootleg I recently came across (from another Thin Lizzy/Gary Moore admirer) that was recorded just 9 days after I saw them open for “Queen”. Despite the limited sonic aspect of the recording it is by far the absolute closest to what I witnessed almost 45 years ago! When I heard it with good head phones it just blew my mind. Enjoy!
ruclips.net/video/iwp9ldQyPoY/видео.html
@@user-nk1yu9cw8o thanks mate will have a listen 😉
Now that is food for thought. Both renditions are fantastic anyway and speak in different ways. I don't think it would be possible to have a favourite but I think Robbo's version might be slightly simpler but for me the way he plays just resonates that little bit more. Fantastic comparison, do some more!
I love both versions. Although they both played in Lizzy, Gary and Robbo are very different players so no one can really compare like u say they both bring different things to the table
I'll be doing plenty more lizzy and gary moore covers in the future btw😉
Great I'll get the pop corn in 😀
Gary murders Robbo on the tribute concert though, great playing here too!!
True. But Robbo in his prime was awesome. In his defence, I believe he suffers with stage fright and anxiety a bit from what I heard. Gary told Robbo not to drink before the show but with his anxiety he drank a far bit just to get up on that stage. If you think about it when that gig was held Robbo hadn't played to an audience of that size in a very long time so it was a very high pressure situation for him that he struggled with
Wow. Different style's. Quick hammer ons, and pull offs doesn't make it better. I think Brian is a better soulful player, and Gary was a better technical player. I prefer Brian's style of playing. Les Paul, cord, and cranked Plexi. Volume knob for boost pedal. LOL
I was pretty disappointed when they came to Omaha in 78, after Brian cut his hand in a bar fight. Gary had to step in for the tour. To me, Thin Lizzy is, and always will be Robertson, and Gorham. They started the whole harmonized licks, and solos thing.
Great playing BTW!
@@gonzob9609 I love both players tbh being a massive lizzy fan. Both were masters of improv and if you listen to any live versions of any of the tracks they played on they never played the same thing twice. Robbo just had great bluesy phrasing and to me there was never a better wah player but Gary could play any style and just nail it with such ferocity and amazing pitch, there isnt a single recording anywhere that Gary bends a flat note his ear was amazing.
to be honest, everyone looks like an amateur next to Gary
Robbo such a Natural
Robertson takes it for me. Excellent feel and emotion. And for the petty reason that I think the song sounds better in G#m than Am
Brilliant...note for note!
Thanks😁 I did this in lockdown should really do some more videos it's been a while
@@craigpriceguitarist so many mess with tributes...put their own spin on it...but that's not what a real tribute is all about. I applaud your playing.👏
@@valalemanno24 thank you. I'm a huge Lizzy fan I'll bore anyone to death with my love for Phil and the boys. I've been in a lot of tribute bands and imho you play it to the record or go home because that's what people want to hear
@@craigpriceguitarist Exactly right!
Robbo's from L&D is my favourite guitar solo of all time, it reminds me a bit of SYOYL by Clapton as it starts slow, builds up then gets busy at the end
What’s SYOYL
@@aicdbckmkemcm sunshyne of your love ?🙂
Robbo every time 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Smooth dude 🎸 🔥
Cheers bro 🤟
It's a love song, so feel playing will always trump the technical .. Robbo for me.
There's one live version with Gary from 1978, his solo there is unbeatable.
damn nice playing !!!
Thank you 🙏
Brian didn't wanna touch Gary's solo especially on an song gary wrote. Phil reworked the lyrics Brian's solo so timeless. Gary probably was so honored something he created. Brought out the very best in others.
A very mature approach from Robbo considering he was only 17 and full of it 😊
Gary's (rip)solo's were quite a bit better imo.......Brian's weren't bad but sounded fairly 'stock/standard' as compared. Some of Gary's outro solo licks in this are as good as I've ever heard from any guitarist.
Let's not forget 'ol Frankie Miller's vocal contribution's here as well, I love how he and Phil (rip) trade off lines. I like the tempo of the 'Night Life' version as well.....the live one, imo, is a bit slow/ boring as compared ( but still great). My favorite Brian Robertson leads are in 'She Knows'.
I also LOVE the particular sound Gary is getting......the famous '59 Paul was getting a tad more presence and top end......I think he was running a channel jumpered Marshall ( 1959 or 1987 ?) run fairly clean along with a Colorsound Overdriver with its treble turned up fairly high .
My favourite Robbo lead is the live version of Opium Trail he's was on fire 🔥 I love both players, the Robbo Gorham lineup is certainly the best Lizzy lineup but you can't deny Gary's contributions and what he later achieved. He still had it right up the end sadly the drink got the better of him, that last Montreux concert in 2010 he made lots of mistakes you could tell something was very wrong 😔 I was lucky enough to see him on the After Hours tour at his blues peak just incredible he'll always be my favourite guitarist I don't know of any other player that covers so many styles and owned them all
Very nicely done sir! Gary is probably the better all-round player, and certainly in blues he's a legend, but Robbo seemed to match better with Scott and on this song he took it to another plane. There's space but it's still fluid, the tone is perfect, and the emotion he wrings from it is beyond compare. Scott's solo ain't bad either (actually it's superb and gives the song another dimension) and their combination at the end is magical.
Big Robo fan. But Gary one of the best guitarist of all time listen to his post Thin Lizzy stuff
Gary All The Way
Robbo for me
Seamless
scott gorhams live solo on live and dangerous is my favorite.
I don't like both versions, but I like version from Gary's 1985 album "Run For Cover". This version awesome
You sound like a Gary Moore fan and not a lizzy fan 😉 The 1985 version is pretty good im just not a fan of the 80s production on it
Gary and Jeff Healey made me want to play guitar after playing drums for 20 years but I like Brian one better here. Little more anger and frustration in it for me. Well done on both. I have a black Custom. Might I ask what pups you have in yours and string gauge please?
Thanks dude appreciate your comment 😊 I'm not sure what pickups are in my custom I presume they are burstbuckers as it's a 2014 model. I always used 10 gauge but since covid killed live music I have gone down a gauge to 9 to 46 hybrid set
@@craigpriceguitarist mine is a 2006 and has the 490r-498t combo that's why I was asking. Yours sounds great and I was thinking of going to the 9-46 hybrids so thank you very much for responding. 👍
@@michaelsingley5641 I used amplitube for this video I've since gone into guitar rig which imho has better sounds for recording. Jeff Healey was awesome I wish I had got to see him perform I was lucky enough to see Gary in his prime on the After Hours tour in 1992 front row he was off the scale
@@craigpriceguitarist saw Jeff in concert with Bonnie Raitt in Hackettstown N.J general admission in late '80s I think. 😁 She's no slouch either.
@@michaelsingley5641 yes Bonnie is great
Robbo took it and created a masterpiece. Other versions he has done have not been that great.
Gary is a master, Robo is a fucking badass
Great answer 👏
Nice playing Craig. The BR solo from the rainbow gig is different again. It's all good though.
I dont think Robbo ever played it the same way twice
Awesome covers!! What tuning did you use? and tabs by any chance????
Thanks 😃 Half a step down in Eb. The majority of Thin Lizzy's back catalogue is in Eb
@@craigpriceguitarist Thanks!! Not many good covers out there but keeping doing an amazing job. Thin Lizzy rules!
@@linorawrThin Lizzy do indeed rule my favourite band of all time 🤟 I'll do some more Lizzy covers at some point 😉 as for tabs there's loads on the ultimate guitar app
@@craigpriceguitarist I'm glad you mentioned that. A few years back, I learned to play Emerald. I put on Live and Dangerous to play along. Couldn't get it to match....couldn't find the correct tuning. Is that album in E flat also?
@@megadethmofo2001 yes mate live and dangerous is all Eb
I like Brian Robertson's better. The constant pauses in Moore's kills the flow
Yes its oddly stop start with his phrasing probably due to playing with such a clean tone
It's called phrasing
I actually prefer Robbo’s to Moore’s, but I love Gary.
I played this once. I did neither.
Robbo for me.
Robbo certainly made it his own 👍🤟
Scotty!
Well okay. The Brian Robertson solo, that he played pretty much note for note many times. In saying that i heard Gary Moore noodle up the original which sounded just like that or am I wrong?
Robbo rarely played the same thing twice just listen to the new Deluxe Live and Dangerous
@@craigpriceguitarist I cant get over the fact he was 17 or so - around 20 at the end? He had to replace Gary Moore, so they went out and bought him a guitar and told him to play all their songs like on the record. I just went and had a listen to all the different versions of this song - on the deluxe Live I never knew existed, thanks so much buddy, still my favourite Lizzy line up . He was great then ay, and hes still bloody great.
@@BriantheLionNZ my pleasure mate gotta spread the Lizzy love 😉🤟
Robbo
Grary moore
I find Robbo's playing had more emotion in it. Gary's was bourbon and Robbo's was tequila.
Nice comparison 😉
robbo takes it more passion for me
Robbo win 😎
This is Moore's or anyone else's best version of by a mile. Robbo's first solo on it is good too. ruclips.net/video/e2ffgZOab2k/видео.html
Both are amazing, but my love will always default to Gary Moore. That is ZERO shade on Brian Robertson... full stop!
Gary's guitar always seemed too quiet on Nightlife to me
The whole production on the Nightlife album isn't great, I saw Scott comment literally in the last week about remixing it
@@craigpriceguitarist Usually I am wary of remixes Craig, but there's a much better record bursting to get out (assuming the source tracks are all good) it's a great idea.
@@ILikeSarnies Nightlife in particular has always been scorned by the Lizzy band members for its production so like u say hopefully the source is still good and it can be improved (I'm sure it can)
Stupid argument as robbo freely admits lifting most of the Moore solo anyway as he said the original was to good to mess with, Check out Moore's later version with is even better!
😂 it's not an argument just a comparison as a fan. I love both versions but Robbo is my favourite here there is no way the 80s version by Gary is better than the Live and Dangerous version
Zwei absolut klassische Thin Lizzy Musiker .
Gary Moore ist ein Legendärer Gitarren 🎸 Virtuose.
Aber Still in Love with you,...Solos ist der Moment von Robbo und Scott.
Scott beats both of them in this tune.
Controversial 😂 Scotts solo is great though I agree
