One of the best guitar players of all time RIP.gary Moore..

[@jamesbuck5393]

I grew up on Rock n Roll. Zeppelin, Van Halen, Jeff Beck,!Deep Purple, Rainbow, Scorpions, Dio, Skynard, Yes, I could go on and on. How in the world did Gary Moore slip through the cracks. This guy has quickly became my favorite guitarist ever. That used to be Eddie Van Halen, Carlos Santana, Jeff Beck. But I think Gary is a better guitar player than all three of them. I discovered Gary about two years ago on Facebook. I love his blues work. But over the period of time I’ve discovered all his other work and now quickly love everything he does. It’s just a shame that he did not get the air time over here in America. I would’ve definitely seen him live in concert. It’s a shame I’ll never get to see him live. I grew up in San Diego California still reside here. He came here in the 80s, I’m blown away that I missed that show. Heck I would fly overseas to see Gary play. By reading comments on KZbin videos of Gary I can see he is very popular in Europe South America Japan all over the world. Everywhere but America. Is anybody have any thoughts on why this is the case? Thank God for KZbin and other music sources so that we still have so much material Gary to enjoy. I have a six disc CD player in my car. Every CD is Gary Moore for the last two years and I’m not even close to be in tired of listening to them. Thank God for Gary Moore! 🎸❤️🎸❤️🎸❤️

Grew up in SD and saw Gary open up for Rush in 1984. Amazing show cuz I was all about Rush but loved Gary and his version of Shapes of Things cuz Beck is my favorite ever. Gary gave it his Blues/Metal flair and I was hooked! And he could sing. What an amazing talent. I miss him dearly!

[@daves4645]

If you grew up listening to Thin Lizzy you would know who he was. And it's Skynyrd.

[@charlesrecchia315]

Craig Gruber was a wonderful and deeply talented bass player. Had the privilege of meeting him at a Christmas party in Central NY the year after this video was recorded. He gave me some cool bass technique pointers including my first ever exposure to thumb funk pop slap style. RIP to him and Gary two incredible musicians and gentlemen.

[@Greg_In_SoCal]

Very few have made the guitar sing. Gary Moore was certainly one of them. You'll be sorely missed.

[@careful...Icarus]

Jeezus Christ on Crutches this was a tight lineup. Moore,Paice,Carter,Gruber. Magnificent.

[@richardgatecliffephotograp7024]

Now that’s how you play a guitar. Often mimicked never matched and sadly missed.

[@dannymcmince]

Totally agree R

[@jerryporter1700]

Gary Moore...nuff said..legend

[@samandjennysambrook]

That guitar tone is insane 🎸👌🎶

[@taypax]

RIP...saw Gary live in 1984

[@scat311]

Gary's death comes as a total shock. A tremendous talent has been lost. Gary was one of my guitar idols and reasons for picking up an electric guitar. Thanks for the music Gary. R.I.P.

[@townshendshean]

I remember seeing him on this tour at Irvine Meadows Amphitheater...opened up for Rush...blew my mind!

[@326vince]

Ian Paice Gary Moore. 2 of my idols!

[@joynsons]

Watched this show on telly. Hats off to Craig Gruber. Bass solo on Empty Rooms is cool and should not have been axed from later releases.

[@RokDAWG1]

The guy playing guitar is playing an ibanez RS1000, the one Gary endorsed around that time. I actually have one, still in near mint condition. I got mine because of Gary...I'm glad his music & part of his soul lives on through his music

[@TheVeemiles]

RIP Gary Moore, incredible player

[@acegibson9533]

Solo of the year in 1983. Nobody could touch this.

[@SuperBroncosguy]

Yep agreed. Was working at Record Bar in the mall. Played it so loud after hours-mall security came by!

[@acecollens]

RIP Gary 😓

[@skysmith6364]

Man, this dude just absolutely rips....

[@semjohnbiggs5946]

A true guitar master, he will be missed😢

[@syfman6]

One of my all time favorite songs.

[@martynmiles9778]

What a line up 👍

[@johncartelli]

although not one of the best looking guitarist ..he is by far my favorite player..a master!!! Monster rocker

[@SuperBroncosguy]

Yeah but i bet half the chicks there wanted to fuck him.

[@johncartelli]

@Jeff Spicolli i dont know what?. I was simply making the statement that he wasnt your average pretty boy lead guitarist.

[@joes5150]

Great tone singing and phrasing!

[@tonypowell250]

Singing? Sounds more like out of tune screaming.

[@minhazu]

Remember watching SOT LIVE VDO on a vhs tape.... the solo was extended but TOTALLY blew me off. RIP GARY & thanks for ur music.

[@69sonsofchaos]

Gary Moore rocking it out!!

[@ClassicalRay]

Excellent footage of Classic Gary Moore! Thank you for posting this.. Incredible

[@NorthernPanzer666]

Gary Moore R.I.P. You were one of the absolute best!!!! GRIEF & GREETINGS from DENMARK..

[@johncartelli]

my life long dream since I heard this when it came out on the radiowas to play this song...alas..at my present age, I forget where I put the guitar never mind what the notes are.lol ..this IMHO is the ultimate power song with peffect dynamics....simply awesome

[@hesch-tag]

This was January. By the end of that year Ulster hall ( live at the Emerald Aisles) he had lost a lot of weight.

[@GreenerHill]

The best guitarist of all. RiP.

[@ramirotorio4542]

Saw in Madrid fantastic event

[@GilgaFrank]

I saw Gary on this tour at Manchester Apollo. Ian Paice on the drums was a huge bonus!

[@balderodinson4451]

That's really cool. He's a really talented guy. He was in UFO too before hooking up with Gary.In later years, Ive noticed your uncle sang the whole song. He may have sang others as well. His is very good. Very similar to Gary's.

[@Capitan_Garcius]

@werdnathecat2 OOh, Really? Neil Carter was one of the reason of the success of Gary Moore. His work was really good and in the live concerts he was really professional... This kind of men who make the story of the Metal bigger and bigger working in the background. Give thanks to your uncle!

[@elduderino2404]

Totally under rated. Did some spectacular work w UFO in 80s

[@infoinfo8433]

Saw Gary on this tour when he opened for Rush at the Forum in L.A. back in 1984.

[@damrgee8279]

The sound of power

[@shopfox7662]

One of the best solos ever

[@garyckratz]

Uncle Ted on the Bear Michigan said this was the best version! I Agree!!

[@johnmclagan1015]

your music will always live own its a shame nz is such a small country we did our best by playing and promoting your music

[@alejandrabolivia6873]

Por mucho es la mejor versión de este tema en toda la historia nadie lo va a ser como él....

[@joewainscott3002]

Absolutely killer solo

[@robfolcroft]

America really missed the boat on Gary. I am from America so I should know. R.I.P. Gary.

[@msifu81h43]

Awesome version !

[@kdrew-feed]

Great line-up. Saw them in SF at Wolgang's right before it burned down and was never rebuilt.

[@CaptNemo100]

Wow - Gary with a Gibson LP Junior? Thanks for posting.

[@CINGO25]

[@marcuscameronmclenmarcusca6095]

oh yeah

[@robfolcroft]

pokerkingTJQKA - Good call man. I have to admit I missed the boat. I didn't discover him til after Victims came out. BUT you observation about Vivien Campbell is dead on. Holy Diver is all Gary Moore.

[@NiskyDust]

Great!!

[@BramEngelenMusic]

This is really 1984, yeah...... now you say! Its like's round the 90e's!!!! Bram

[@joes5150]

Passion

[@trinzeon]

@scat311 Exactly my feelings as well. RIP Gary

[@larryc3860]

originally by Jeff Beck ( with the Yardbirds ? ) in the late 1960's...I think Rod Stewart sang the vocals......

[@ElGuido1969]

@werdnathecat2 Say Thanx to your unkle, I saw in in the 80s in germany with gary, both were wonderful!

[@Holygasoline]

I used to have this on Video, saw this tour live in Sheffield was awesome ! ian paice superb, pity about the head gear lol

[@mikedreucci4236]

2 thumbs down. Probably listening to Taylor Swift.

[@mikedreucci4236]

Those 2 people don't know great music.

[@szikcsova]

@theeternalidol Look at the guy at 2.19. It's got to be the 80's. Though, I know what You mean, I too think that Gary took some Christmas weight up which he lost later on the same year...

[@SteveShivik]

@werdnathecat2 thats so cool!

[@ExeterCityMan]

I prefer the Nazereth version of this song followed by the original Yardbirds. This is good though and Gary was great on the guitar.

[@MJL3764]

Have this on vid , Moore played really well ,vocals inperfect in places but paice snare is well up in the mix (Good) Neil looks like barry manilow (bad).

[@peterarvanitis6497]

Neil sings the leads well too

[@kanemura93]

I like this version that Moore and Jeff Beck with Stuart does better than the one that Yardbirds, Naazareth and Rush does

[@deanmccall9379]

Looks like Gary from the 2000's, but everyone else looks 80'sish. interesting....

[@pppaulie73]

Who is the rhythm guitar player? I see him in other of Moore's live stuff.

[@tonypowell250]

Barry Manilow.

[@pppaulie73]

@74 torino Thanks

[@eggbertsmith]

Is that Barry Manilow on guitar???

[@mikedreucci4236]

Ain't Jay Z

[@mikedreucci4236]

Why u look so angry. No Beyoncé

[@magnuswettermark8293]

The one and only Mr Neil Carter! One of the greatest musican ever. He can play fuckin EVERYTHING. He sings,guitars,keyboards,synths,saxophone.....

[@1948Goog]

@scat311 Check out Phil Emmanuel mate !!!

[@dannymcmince]

Neil looks like Barry Manilow!

[@barfly946]

the yardbirds original was a hundred times better. Gary snore just turns it into a fucking drag.

[@barfly946]

+4JayeP And you are a fuckwit.
