Gary Moore - Story of the Blues LIVE

Taken from the Live Blues video this is 'Story of the Blues'. Gary is awesome as ever playing some of his best blues licks. Enjoy

[@rodrigoabisaber5806]

One of greatest guitar solos of all time!!!

[@lawrencesantana7253]

Just about all his songs has "one of the greatest guitar solos". Thats just what he does. Rock on eternally Mr. Gary Moore.

[@TheTigerDog74]

Totally agree. I never tire of hearing this one. The climb up the fretboard toward the end of the solo is utterly perfect and it makes this easily one of the greatest blues guitar solos ever.

[@lucamaori7777]

heart breaking

[@closer2theheart684]

The greatest guitar player the world has ever seen.

[@bradholman7542]

This is as good as it gets. Gary was on fire, and the solo on this song is the pinnacle of electric blues guitar. Playing to a nearly comatose audience, the solo comes to a climax with such conviction and energy, it leaves me breathless every time I listen to it. If you don't feel it, I feel sorry for you. Every note where it belongs, the rules of tension and release in place, beautiful touch and vibrato, and perfect tone and execution; in a word, magic. Not a player alive can match this.

[@bctesla]

Brad Holman ditto brother. GM solo's go to my bones.

[@rufust.flywheel6060]

Best Gary Moore's song. You got to love this song... if not, you just don't like rock and roll.

[@harrisondocarmo7923]

Couldn't agree more.

com·a·tose: Of or in a state of deep unconsciousness for a prolonged or indefinite period, especially as a result of severe injury or illness. Lol :) Well put!

[@davidm6738]

As good as it gets sums it up very well. Gary Moore. The very best, imho.

[@dannyaram]

There is no best Guitar player. This is not sport, it is art. Gary is amazing, nothing less and he moves me in ways Petrucci doesn't. But guess what, it is also the other way around. This goes for many other guitar gods. They are all artists, each with his own unique signature. So love the one you love, respect the others.

Gary was the most bold and melodic sounding bluesman who ever lived. You can feel his music, his drive, and his pain. This song is from After Hours, an amazing album.

[@luriepeixoto946]

Oh Shit, It really is!! Im very, very high, and, thks for the call! regards from Brasil!

[@finman313]

[@slingo63]

Having seen Gary live, his solos gave me goosebumps - just an incredible guitarist and I don't know of any living guitarist that can match him. I always felt he was underrated in success terms but not by people who appreciate excellent electric blues.

[@davidhayward4581]

Agree with everything you said, huge huge Fan just a great incredible player the bet that will ever be no one came near , and with a great voice to boot ,love you GM

[@SoundFriendly]

One of the best blues songs ever written in my opinion.

[@AntonioCalvente-tu2gp]

Uno de los grandes Gary Moore

[@igor230693]

He moved on and went over the hills and far away now...The king of the blues. Now he`s walking with the King of Kings. No more Parisienne Walkways no more Friday on your mind no more Gary Moore. You left us out in the fields, in empty rooms drowning in tears. truely a hero... thanks gary for everything rest in peace

[@sandyweber6501]

Beautiful feelings and sentiment to one I just discovered this morning. My heart is full and sorry all together.

[@florentvauxion3664]

Please Gary, come back on Earth. We still want MOORE!!! Come back... See you later...

Damn this man can make a guitar cry a river.

[@calvinking8586]

After all the years I’ve been listening to this song I still get chills when I hear it.

[@robertsturdivant8130]

There have been some amazing blues artists, but none as soulfull as Gary Moore. I cannot listen to The Story Of The Blues without falling apart. This is what the blues is all about.

[@DarkPrinceEV]

God! what a MASTER! I'm a guitar freak for years and I thought I listened to it all until I found Gary. He tops them ALL. Never seen anyone like him, and will never see.

[@aceguitarmethod]

One of the finest Blues songs ever written. This songs bleeds the blues. RIP Gary.

[@martinherts1967]

Anyone who can induce tears has to be an exceptional Artist ; not many are able to actually channel their soul through an instrument like this.... Gary was one of them and there has yet to be another to invoke such strong emotions in his fans. Rest in peace Gary. Sorely missed.

[@MrDonwild1]

his songs has helped more people going through breakups than he ever knew

[@martinherts1967]

Yes Donald, I can imagine that being the case quite easily.......Comforting Food, Medicine even, for any Soul in need has got to be a good thing.

[@charmedfantasia]

RIP Gary, you've left behind an amazing musical legacy. You will be remembered, with love & admiration.

[@fluketobase]

What an absolute meagre bit of applause for what is one of the best guitar solos anyone has ever played. If I was at that gig I would hang my head in shame. Genius is the only word that fits. R.I.P Gary. You were the best.

[@Elidoransgar]

If you watch the whole concert, there is mad applause overall. I think the crowd just got so blown away by the collective ass-kicking greatness that is Gary Moore that they became a bit too stunned at what they were seeing to do much more than sit there and gape in awe at the blues hurricane in front of them.

[@Lectric_Blue]

To be fair to the audience, I believe that particular show was a warm-up gig before a tour. It was a small venue, it wasn't advertised, and most of the crowd were invited family and friends. Hence the slightly more subdued responses to what were undeniably superb renditions of his latest stuff. Would have loved to be there....

My baby she left me, my baby she's gone. My sweet little angel has spread her wings and flown. Can't think of a reason for going on. From this day I will play the blues. She said it was over, this time it's the end. Bad luck and trouble gonna be my only friend. I still can't believe it, after all we've been through. Everyday I will play the blues. Everybody knows what the blues is all about. It's a pain you can't live with. It's a woman you can't live without. She came from Chicago. She read me the news. In the headlines was a story of the blues. They say a broken heart can always mend. Time is the healer and sadness will end. But I've done so much crying, when will I laugh again? Till that day I will play the blues. Everybody knows what the blues is all about. It's a pain you can't live with. It's a woman you can't live without. Could have cried me a river when they told me the news. On that day was a story of the blues.

[@user-in1ip8br6z]

Always inspires me to pick up my guitar and play. Rest in peace master and thanks for all the great tunes.

[@martinherts1967]

One of my major influences as a guitarist, this was always my favourite track, and the solo at the end is absolutely tear jerking, it just goes to show one of the true legends who could express his emotions and bare his soul through his guitar. There haven't been many who have walked this earth who could do that. Rest in peace Gary.

[@marce211275]

Gary moore ending such a performance with a "thank you" helps you understand how little selfawareness did he have... if i was him, i'd end up with a "you're welcome"

He did even better at the Strat Pack, after one of the greatest guitar performance of all time he thanks, leave the guitar on the floor and goes away

WOW...what a truly talented man Gary moore was. 🎸 Incredible guitarist, amazing vocals and a humble man. I still feel that Gary never really got the recognition he deserved....everyone has heard of Jimmi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, David Gilmore, Richie Blackmore, yes, these were wonderful guitarist, but many people don't know who Gary was or what he looked like.....such a pity because he was on another level. RIP Gary....we miss you mate. 😢

What an extraordinary performance. I've been listening to both the studio recording of this one, as well as watching this on video for years now (actually bought it on DVD). As much as I love every aspect of this song (music, lyrics, and melody), his last voyage up the neck in that last solo stretch takes my breath away. If you don't feel the power/passion coming from his soul during that particular stretch, you might as well as stop listening to music altogether.

I've played guitar since the mid sixties, lived through the Shadows era, Eric Clapton, Peter Green, Jeff Beck, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, the very underrated Andy Latimer, David Gilmour, EVH, Tony Iommi, John McLaughlin, the list is endless. Each one of those guys have been my favourite at some time. BUT, the one guitarist that I keep going back to, the only one that can bring a lump to my throat and a tear to my eye, is the great Gary Moore. He plays from his heart. Sheer genius...
