Buddy Whittington is one of the greatest blues guitar players ever! No tricks - just pure blues.

[@tedmarakas2626]

Buddy Whitington is a great guitarist. No doubt. Gary Moore is from a different planet, he's absolutely incredible.

[@natekathman3444]

how good do you need to be to have Gary Moore as your rhythm player. RIP gary

[@MrParisienWalkways]

Who`s playing lead while Buddy is singing then?

[@johnpearson4899]

I wondered the same thing. I guess we now have our answer.

[@insignificunt5637]

Buddy Whittington level good, nothing less

[@allisonkimber2329]

It just so happens that Gary Moore was a gust artist that night. I know I was Buddy’s driver. It was at the ropetackle art’s center in worthing.

[@aleksik4028]

Well Garys playing fills here and there and soloing.

[@kewlfonz]

That Gary Moore was too good for his own good - Jesus H Christ, that's the best blues funk guitar solo I've ever seen in my life!!!

[@paullevine1813]

Gary still is the ultimate player even when he is a guest he never steps on toes & upstages the front man. He may not show the emotion he does when he fronts but he's right in the pocket & adds his dynamics to Buddys great lead work & tosses in his leads to compliment Buddy's work, now that's professionalism.

[@roberthoule9693]

Love him! But it looks like he's gained wait since he played with 'thin' lizzy. lol lol. yes, RIP to a great guitar player.

[@jmangi6221]

Was just gonna say the same thing. He toned it down and kinda took a step back so as not to overstage anyone. What a pro in every sense of the word. We lost a great one folks.RIP Gary,we love you brother.

[@paullevine1813]

@@jmangi6221 Well said my friend. In case you haven't heard Gary has a new CD coming out with unreleased tracks . In My Dreams is the only track posted on YT . Check it out if have not already. How cool is it to see these two total pros having fun & no toes stepped on.. Buddy is a fine player & singer & Gary needs no comment we all know what he could & did.

The other link is pure rock & instrumental as i never could sing a note LOl.. I would love any comment you care to leave. Keep on practicing & you never stop learning.

[@JeremyMcCant]

R.I.P Gary Moore, an Legend among Legends. My favorite guitarists of all time. His style of playing and especially his emotion was unmatched/unparalleled. I mean, just insane man. I wish I got a chance to see him while he was alive, unfortunately I found him years after his death. R.I.P Gary Moore, the best guitarist ever!

[@angelogigli9717]

I agree at 100%

[@bobareeniobobareenio2935]

Buddy is a real gentleman! I met him a long time ago at the Bottom Line in NYC. What a great player and great guy . We sent a few mails back and forth as well. I saved them as a treasure , mails from Buddy and John Mayall ! A real treat for me ..

[@banjodenjo]

Great song done to perfection by all the band. No one hogged the limelight and Buddy like a master just gently steered everyone along. Now that's a pro band.

[@randallfranklin2548]

My band opened for John Mayall in the 90s and Buddy was so nice…..I was just a regional musician and buddy had no ego, just kindness!!

[@stony2494]

Funkified Blues 😎 Gary Moore solo and playing rhythm amazing 😎♥️👍

[@rvic11]

It's amazing how much of an influence Albert King was on guitar players. I hear his licks so distinctly from Clapton to SRV. Not to mention these two. He's really under-recognised compared to BB King, etc.

[@williamjamesdeering-webb1656]

I was lucky to see Buddy playing with John Mayall a couple of times, wonderful guitarist !

[@robinwilson1433]

I saw BW with JM - it was a fantastic concert!

[@goldenbutterrevue517]

Do think Mayall has ever played with any good guitar players? Holy smoke!

[@youreatoilet]

Mayall would get the award for having the most impressive list of guitarists he's worked with. Eric Clapton, Peter Green, Mick Taylor, CoCo Montoya, Buddy Whittington, Walter Trout, Rick Vito and I'm sure many more

[@BlackDotPatrick]

Not sure how I went so long without being familiar with Buddy's extraordinary playing.

[@MrSry300]

Buddy and Gary were friends. A lot of mutual respect for each other. Buddy is still playing in Texas and tours Europe once a year. I’ve seen him play up close in small club like this one. He’s a great player as well as Gary was. I like them both. There are more videos of Buddy & Gary playing together, just do a search.

[@robertrohde8085]

I wish I could see these two greats playing together now. I guess I will have to wait until I am in heaven.

[@john-zw9rw]

Drummer found his groove... Great stage of musicians... appreciate it all.....

[@XavierCevrin]

I love it! Gary Moore’s one of my biggest influence as a guitarist. So much to learn from him. Those kind of live jams are the best

[@lovinair]

👼🎸 This drug of Riffs Drums & Hammond that awake the soul, makes life feel light and better, waiting to join it... Thanks guys, so nice 🫶🏼 #lovinair 💌

[@albertgatte6324]

Just found this. I'm a Fan. 5 guys just PLAYIN. ... NO BS,just talent.

[@garymilner36]

had a chance to hang with Buddy...a great guy so sweet and kind ..he can play with anyone..

[@josealberto146]

Gary Moore era um grande Bluesman que jamais será esquecido. Obrigado

[@garagerocker48]

Wow very nice version by Buddy and his band and with the incredible Gary Moore R.I.P

[@geraldlowrey2668]

Buddy is still kicking it out. There are also a couple of vids with Eric Clapton and Buddy, this guy is the real deal.

[@goldenbutterrevue517]

I saw him at the Doheny Blues Festival with Mayall about 20 years ago. At first glance and listen I thought he was Walter Trout, but he is awesome in his own right. He's an excellent singer too. This is one of the best things I've ever heard Gary Moore do. My only nitpick is that the drummer is a bit overbearing, but he's strong. GREAT effort.

[@Stonkin]

The late Roger Cotton on Keyboards joins Gary More at the big gig...

[@johnlannikk2701]

Dear Gary, you will always be my inspiration and thank you for your music

[@johnroseman9087]

The big man can play! Very enjoyable. Thanks for the post.

[@BigTimeBluesFan989]

Just saw buddy this past weekend in Texas. The band was on point and his guitar playing and singing was out of this world.

[@lesanne2]

Miss you forever Gary,my friend.

[@Sparky6string]

I remember hearing a lot about Buddy back in those days but not so much anymore. Hope he's still knockin em out somewhere.

[@joewooding8541]

long live blues thanks a lot Buddy!!!!

[@tarikzemmouri9670]

Rip great Gary

[@dr.know-it-all5148]

Ya'll read too much into this. Gary wouldn't be there doin just what he's doin if he didn't want to be there. it's not like he was hard up for a gig. He's doin exactly what he wants to do. He standing where he wants to stand, and he can make any face he wants to make. It's nobody's business. Not mine or yours. Peace.

[@PapawCulberson]

Gary and Buddy were friends. This wasn’t as unusual as it seems.

[@stevesalisbury8206]

Buddy with John Mayall & the bluesbreakers is also awesome!

[@macyjames8552]

Breakers back then come on man

[@davevrox3023]

❤ Shredding new fan via Canada 🇨🇦 !!! 😊

[@petrucarp2512]

Beautiful music!

[@MrShakedown1972]

Fantastic

[@peteryoung4790]

Lucky to see Gary Moore with BB King some years ago, saw Walter Trout last year in my home town of Whitley Bay and last week saw John Mayall with Buddy Whittington, he is so good!

[@JimVanHorn1]

It doesn't get any better! See Buddy live on January 24th at the Gulf Coast Blues Association Blues Festivel.

[@cns7139]

Buddy, you sound awesome!

[@bernardpaquin592]

Groovy and funky. One of my all-time favourites.

[@Dang...]

Buddy is one of the all time greats, deserving way more recognition and $$$! If you watch John Mayall's birthday concert video it looks like Buddy gives Clapton a SERIOUS run for his money. Not saying there was any competition, but comparisons are inevitable.

[@alankillian4962]

#DanGromley I felt the same way when I watched it. I did have the chance and saw John Mayall, Buddy, Walter Trout, and Coco Montoya on stage together. WOW

[@Dang...]

@@alankillian4962 I believe you; that must have been a WOW show indeed. I've seen Coco Montoya and his band at Mexicali Blues NJ 2x and those were also WOW shows. Coco's band is a deep groove machine, and Coco sings and plays at such a highly artistic and passionate level. Exhilarating experiences for certain. I hope to hear Buddy in person.

[@stephenccoleman]

He's better

[@w423350]

Just seen Buddy at the legendary Half Moon in London tonight - rockin'...

[@281Boss]

Nice gem and jam. Two wonderful contrasting tones and styles of playing blues lead. Love it!

[@AROSFC]

Pls don't take me wrong since I'm a huge fan of GM and Buddy but after I heard Danny Gaton version of this song the bar went up...

[@aleksandardinovski2942]

Two great guitarist

[@ronaldpokatiloff5704]

I remember John Hammond did this song on his first Atlanta album. it sounded really good

[@greyjay9202]

Buddy and Gary, on the same stage. Wow.

Look at Gary face.......so excited. .....

[@shanghunter7697]

He could have just found out some very bad news the day before, did not look happy. Just saying.

[@AffiBlues]

WoW, this is just pure funky blues from the heart :-)

[@MrFinncole]

The Best blues guitarist i have ever heard by a long way. and an amazing voice! How do those chunky hands move so quick :D

[@daviebridge2713]

Must get this guy (Buddy Whittington) over to the Orkney Blues Fest in Sept 2013 in Sromness! gr8 sounds!!

[@RickyCorona]

sat in with Buddy at a local bar what a nice guy , I never knew he was famous he was that humble and kind was our anniversary , I would of been scared shitless if I knew of who he was . I love his originals . I went looking to recruit him , now I know im out of his league lol

[@kellercrawfishkrawl4477]

Hey Buddy, we are super excited that you will be the headliner at this year's 11th Annual Keller Crawfish Krawl. Predicting that this year will be the best one yet, even more so that you will be performing....Thanks again!

[@Feedurehed]

A fucking Masterclass!!!

[@PaulMercer1962]

I love this video. Thanks for sharing. I never got to see Gary Moore.... but I did see Buddy and John Mayall in Liverpool last week.

[@nickhowes54]

I was lucky enough to see Gary with his band Skid Row - must have been about 1970/71 as part of the Banbury Blues Attic shows. He was fantastic, although I have found a Skid Row record that isn't really that inspiring :-) Buddy and Gary toured together many years ago and were friends which, I assume, led to Gary guesting with Buddy's band here. Darby, on drums, is also an excellent musician.

[@finneguitarplayer9825]

Buddy Whittington spielt sagenhaft. Garry Moore sowieso 👏

[@JulianMilner91]

That drum solo though

[@bluesobsessed]

WE LOVE YOU, BUDDY & GARY MOORE...AWESOME

[@shanfaulkner4960]

[@superblop27]

A Whole Hunk Of Funk !!

[@meeganfitzgerald4294]

awesome, makes me weak at the knees

[@ampsnbits]

Saw this very same line up at a small pub on the seafront in Worthing West Sussex Pub has recently been pulled down, it was caled the Half Brick had some great Music there in its time. Buddy Whittington What a Great Player and a real nice guy to boot! Gary Moore and Buddy were Great Together So sad Gary has since passed away. RIP Gary you are missed by the world!

[@886071]

Thanx for posting this...

[@FernandoMartinez-hy4pg]

Al sr.Whittington tuve la ocasión de verlo en Murcia junto al maestro del Blues John Mayall.Mediados de los 80.

[@theelevators7585]

awesome stuff...

[@elling45]

Nice to see Gary Moore on this clip, he has really supported Buddys career and so it should be, Buddy is class and what a great band.

[@nedkelly8162]

Pretty good!

[@jfitz3133]

Another version of this song is Bryan Lee, Live at the Old Absinthe House bar.

[@TheBiggeeman]

Isn't that Roger Cotton on keys and Pete Stroud on bass, both of Peter Green's Splinter Group?

[@eaguera2]

Correct; plus Darby Todd on drums.

[@tonisalic6300]

The beauty of Gary, is he had no ego It was all about the music. I don't see this anymore.

[@voxac30withstrat]

What you also don't see is musos without using backing tracks or miming (yes I'm talking to you Don Henley and Eagles) There are some true musos out there and almost exclusively blues artists. Don't even get me started on todays pop artists, I'll lose my proverbial.
