FOUND IT!!! This is one of my favorite versions of this song. TWO legends having a conversation with their guitars. So much respect shown to each other it’s amazing to watch two professionals playing with each other and not AT each other. Every note meant something to Gary.

Yesterday I made kind of an off-hand comment that you rule (which you do). I wanted to expand on that a bit: this channel has introduced me to a number of talented musicians who I never would have otherwise listened to. Your easy-going personality, technical knowledge, and patient explanations really make these videos a pleasure to watch. Thank you.

This is one of my favorite videos; one that I’ve watched many times just to enjoy the groove and to watch the dynamics between two great guitar players. Everything starts out “normal;” B.B. King comes out and begins to do his thing. Gary plays the theme underneath B.B.’s singing solo. Then as they begin their duet all seems calm until B.B. hits his first “ping.” Gary comes right back at him with the same ping! B.B turns to the audience with an expression of “what’s this?” The game is on from there. It dawns on B.B. that Gary is laying out a competing version of the melody that is resolving with B.B. At first B.B. is put off by it and then he finds Gary’s groove and they take off together. Appreciating where Gary is coming from, B.B. begins to “talk back” in harmony with Gary’s counterpoint. A meeting of the minds takes place resulting in a unique and delicious “back and forth” that is totally spontaneous. As you said Fil, Gary brings the “weight” of all that is intricate in the melody while B.B. counters with his superb minimalism. Both Gary and B.B. find the key to “tell the story” and take liberties to be playful to increase the joyfulness of the song. Underneath the good nature of the duel, B.B. is keenly aware that Gary is about to play him off the stage by dominating B.B.’s subtlety with Gary’s power. Time and necessity prevented you from showing the end of the video. B.B. is gracious and cordial with Gary then takes his leave off stage. The camera catches an expression on B.B.’s face as he looks back that can only mean “what the just happened?” Clearly, he hadn’t expected a guitar duel or one that brought out not only the best in each player, but elevated the song to a much higher plane. It was around 1992 when Eric Clapton came away from a B.B. King concert and said, “I thought I knew how to play, but after watching B.B. I realize I have so much to learn to become a mature guitar player.” EC was referring to that tone and sound of simple vibrato resolving as you spoke about in B.B.’s phrasing at C4. Of course, you could listen to any Clapton song in 1992 and quickly identify that “oh, Eric’s playing that.” Fast forward to 2008, a distinct difference is evident on Clapton’s take of “Double Trouble” to a 1986 version of the same song, or in contrast to a song like “Tearing Us Apart.” The maturity and depth have a very strong reference to B.B. King. Why such a radical change? It is from one younger guitar player learning from a master that phrasing and resolution create the story, allows the guitar to extend the vocal solo to expand the emotions of the words. In the blues, great guitarists are able to make the dang thing squeal and howl, cry and scream its pain and misery. B.B. King emoted the same story but in a more solemn and decorous manner. The pain was there but B.B. invited the listener to apply it to their own lives in the midst of the music. It’s tragic that Gary Moore didn’t receive the earned recognition and commercial popularity that many of his contemporaries did. This video more than showed that Gary “had the chops” to create brilliant harmonies with rugged resolutions. His playing lent more to distorting his resolutions. My opinion is that Gary “overdid” some of his runs into complex spaces that his audience didn’t always follow. Of course, I plead guilty that my preference is for the clean lines of B.B. King, but that may be a function of my own gray hair. As always Fil, a tremendous analysis in your excellent series.

I don't know how often I've watched this performance but it always puts a smile on my face and in my heart. Such a dynamic musical conversation between the two masters. Gary had such a diverse style and, usually, a rather fast technique. But here there was no need for fireworks, only having a friendly fireside chat with one of his all time favourite musicians. BB of course played his classic style with singular note dynamics and you never felt that he overdid it. And his facial expressions made this all the more entertaining to watch. A couple of incredible musicians having a good time. What a treat. Big thumbs up Fil

I've always loved this video of Gary and B.B. I've posted it in my FB guitar group (Guitar Players Group A-Z) many times. To me, it's a perfect display of real on-stage respect. Gary could mop the floor with B.B. on guitar and they both know it. Yet, he shows incredible restraint and also manages to pull what is arguably one of B.B.'s best live performances of his career. It's SO clear how Gary is gently pushing B.B. and, yes, B.B. steps up beautifully.

It has been said: "Anyone can learn to play a minor pentatonic scale. Few can use it to make you cry. Albert King was one of those few." The same can be said about B.B. except he used majors, blues scale alot. I've seen him live, 3 or 4 times & he's made me cry. Gary did machine gun a note there bro but he seems quite reserved . WOW! How could this be topped? Maybe Gary with the Iceman? !! Incredible call & response! !! Love Gary's passion & "in your face" motivation! Great selection Brother Fil! Only other duo jam I LOVE, you covered it , was Joe Bonamassa & Warren Haynes. YOU are THE HOST!!! ROCK ON BROTHER FIL!!!

The ability to convey complex analysis in a way that non professionals can understand and that helps non professionals deepen their appreciation of the art is, like Moore’s and King’s playing, much harder that it seems. Fil, himself, is a highly skilled player, but is also a quite brilliant and natural teacher.

He replied: "No. Not if it was my stage. Believe me. " Quite a statement. Don't need to make any enemies doing ones profession. Ha. Interview with "The Iceman" he was asked about the 1st time he met A. King. He said King told him: " Well when we go on that stage I'm gonna kick your ass. ". Ha! Gotta run, take care Fil!!

I saw BBK twice. The first time I saw him he opened for The Who and The Jefferson Airplane. I think the promoters thought they would put the old guy on first and work their way up to the more intense rock bands. Well, BB and his band ripped the f@#$ing house down! The man was more than a great musician he was more like Louis Armstrong with a guitar in that he was a great entertainer who knew how to work the audience.

Fil I first downloaded the audio of this. Loved it.. I remember hearing that one note where BB looks out to the audience and they start their dual. Thankfully I discovered the KZbin clip and was able to appreciate their body language as well. Their relationship was inseparable, neither trying to outdo the other with speed, instead caressing each note and adding colour most guitarist probably wouldn't even realise was possible on their instruments. This goes down as one of my favourite clips. Thanks for the analysis, spot on as usual. It doesn't matter what style of music one plays this is a lesson in what you can actually accomplish when you're both in the now and listening to, and feeling, what the other muso is playing.

Can’t believe I got to see Gary open for BB King in the 00s. Two class acts. I feel so fortunate to have seen Gary 5 or more times live which for someone in their early 30s ain’t too bad. Only people I’ve seen more are the Eagles and Jackson Browne. His Thin Lizzy gig in Dublin was one of the best nights of my life. I think I was 15 terrified of a drunken Irish mosh pit that you can see on the DVD but just mesmerized by the virtuoso that is Gary Moore.

I saw B.B. King in Chicago in the 70's along with Bobby "Blue" Bland. Oh what a night that was. B.B. belted out The Thrill is Gone and so many more. He had a brass section and drums that just made my husband and I totally love every minute of the night. This video is so fun to watch these two together. Gary Moore was such a master on the guitar. But its a reminder of the many treasures we have lost over the years. We saw Johnny Lee Hooker one time too when he came to Chicago. My husband said Johnnie is getting old and we had better see him soon or we will not have the opportunity. So, there he was an old man still singing "Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey. So much fun. Love them all. Thanks Fil, you made my night with this one.

I really love how you dive into different genres and are able to appreciate the artistry found in them. This is your newest video so I'm gonna put some requests in if you've already done some of these already, my apologies. Another Dylan please. American folk music, Guthrie, Seeger, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Roger Miller, I'm sure there's more in there. Late 60's Detroit scene, MC5, Stooges. New York scene, Velvet Underground, New York Dolls. Later CBGB scene. Bob Marley. English punk scene, metal scene. Thrash metal, Metallica, et al. Motorhead. Merle Haggard (if you haven't already) love the country stuff you do. Love to see your take on some of these, and thanks again for the channel, really loving it!

The Stones were smoking hot.. live they were always good, but BB connected in a way that was solid, and lasted a lifetime. The I saw him was around 2009, he was 83 or so, and he was still right there where I found him in 1969.

I’ve seen BB three times. Twice during the 1980’s and once in the late 90’s. The first two shows that I saw, he was still on his feet and very active for such a huge man. The third show, he walked on stage as usual during a big musical introduction by his band, then the band settled down, BB sat down on a chair, pulled the mic up close and told us “Thank you for coming to our show tonight...I got diabetes now...and my feet give me trouble these days, so if you don’t mind, me and Lucille are gonna sit down to play for you tonight.” He then gave us two one hour sets of fire breathing blues. Never missed a beat, still played and sang his heart out just as he always had before. He was a remarkable man. I wish he had taken better care of his health, because he might still be around. Legendary musician and performer for sure.

By then, Riley B had suffered a series of small TIA mini-strokes... I believe the first when he was severely dehydrated after landing in Sydney arriving late after an all-night flight from LA. Made the gig, but passed out on stage in 102 degree heat. My friend was in the Audience... anyway, his playing changed a bit. The BB box was born... after 26 years on the road... playing and singing the blues. Before Gary and Luther Allison [mentioned in a post below] -- and ol' Riley B.. the cotton-picker orphaned at 10 -- outlived them both... As Buddy Guy once said, I paraphrase, " Before BB's 3-OCLOC BLUES everyone was playing electric guitar as if it were acoustic." And, they did not mate .008 gauge strings back in 49.

Saw BB about 20 years ago. At that point he was sitting in a chair and playing. Didn't matter he still put on a great show. Love all your videos but would love to see your take on some alternative or punk bands.

B.B. could sing the blues like nobody's business, and he was like the embodiment of the blues. RIP.

I saw B.B. King at the Pistoia Blues Festival many years ago. A fantastic show, but I wish I could go back and see it through this analysis!

Another good one, Fil! You seem to really go for all the Memphis-bred musicians, which is cool with me-I grew up (and played my first gigs) there, too! BB is just fascinating-there is no other guitarist I'm aware of who can maintain the audience's interest with so few notes. I have tried and tried to copy him, but of course have fallen way short. Funny story-i am part (bassist) of the house band at a local bar here in New Orleans that hosts a "Blues Jam" on Monday nights. Whenever there is a lull, I will start into "The Thrill is Gone", because ever would-be guitarist thinks he can play it like BB. It never fails, LOL!

Saw the “Blues Boy” in 1970 at the Hill Auditorium in Ann Arbor, Michigan. He was still in his prime, only aged 45 or so. The tour was subsequent to the release of his single, “The Thrill Is Gone”. What a show it was! Early blues man Howlin’ Wolf opened for him. If you’re interested in “the Wolf”, there are videos of him out there. Rolling Stone ranked him number 54 on their “100 Greatest Artists of All Time”. He recorded “Spoonful” and “Killing Floor”, as well as many other blues standards
