Downey: One of the best drummers there's ever been but for some reason never gets the recognition he deserves.

[@roymeadows1708]

So true...This song gives me goosebumps..One of the greatest bands ever..RIP Phil and Gary. :(

[@mdonnelly591]

Absolutely!!

[@mdonnelly591]

Made it look so easy

[@RichardAndersonNewZealand]

he doesn't need recognition, just needs fans of Thin Lizzy to keep rocking on :)

[@RootsRockRebel]

I'm responsible for 200k of the 512k views!!!! This is simply magnificent!!! Brian Downey is INCREDIBLE!!! And what can you say about Gary and Scott?!!! The greatest guitar players to ever do it!!!! I will forever be in awe of all three of them and their god-like abilities!!!! I just wish I could have been there to hug them and tell each one of them how much I LOVE THEM!!!!

[@ronaldriis1023]

Rory is my favorite Irish rock guitarist, but truthfully, Gary Moore is the best. He could play anything and play it great.

[@mikepower9922]

Dueling guitars don't get any better.. one of my fav Lizzy songs... musically technically brilliant.. just love the traditional Irish riffs.. Gary Moore.. Legend

[@garryroberts5106]

Never seen Gary Moore play below par on any footage I’ve watched - always on the money - you can keep your shredders THIS is the type of playing that gives me goosebumps RIP Gary.

[@markwilliams-ny6tr]

Yep..no one plays Black Rose like G.Moore for speed and accuracy and he was a gun guitarist who imo was under rated by the music industry.He was a great of his era and sadly missed.

[@roymeadows1708]

God bless you Gary..sleep well legend. x

[@ald.5147]

I am so glad this performance was captured for all to see. This is truly one of the greatest guitar performances of all time!

[@fredericfuknchopin4552]

Did gary really play the fast part though? he turns his back to the camera so you cant see him play it. I have never heard anyone play that part properly apart from this time but for some reason Gary turns his back. Smells iffy

[@ericmcgivern4429]

That's cos Gary was so modest he turned away for the fast bit!!

I saw Thin Lizzy on the Black Rose tour (opening for Nazareth) in 1979 in Waterloo IA. Best concert of my life. I had never heard of Gary Moore before that night and have never forgotten him since.

Irish musicians are the best rory gallagher, phil lynott and gary moore, RIP pure legends of Rock and blues, never forget you guys

[@rsviews2167]

Brian Downey was the perfect drummer for Lizzy. And without him, they would not have sounded sooo damn good.. One of my favourite classic rock drummer, real tight, aggressive, subtle.. His performance on Phil's ¨King's call¨ is pure magic. For me, he's way up there with the likes of John Bonham, Barrimore Barlow, John Panozzo or Cozy Powell. Relentless men on a mission.

[@DirectDemocrat]

You only think that because he was. If the drummer had been John Bonham, Roger Taylor, Stewart Copeland or somebody, you would have thought exactly the same thing because they too would have made the part theirs

[@rsviews2167]

@@DirectDemocrat Nope. First, Roger Taylor was always just an OK drummer ; not very inventive but OK. You probably didn't pay as much attention to Brian Downey's playing as I did over many years. Taste might be personnal but to me, Downey has a recognizable touch, and sound, as well as tons of original ideas. I think his way of embelishment serves Thin Lizzy better than it would have Jethro Tull, or soft machine. Anyways, let's agree to disagree. It's not that important.

[@johnlocke6506]

@@rsviews2167 Downey was ideal as he understood the music Lizzy did being a Celt. Taylor was way more inventive across a wider spectrum of material.

[@elguiridelondres6]

Joyous. No other word for it. Full of life and love. R.I.P. Gary and Phil.

[@ThinLynottFan]

Wow. The guitars are even better than the studio version. Got goosebumps when Gary started into the solo at 4:28

[@TheRuddster95]

Likewise 😍

[@rideon77]

He gave his back to the cameras, I'm not sure THAT part was really live

[@morkmindy5693]

Gary Moore...one of the only guitar players that brings tears to my eyes. And I'm not even Irish!!! This was FUCKING AWESOME! What a great rendition and he just is such a great PASSIONATE player...no faking it there. Just love this song and all of the players did such a good job......Cheers!!! RIP Gary, sorry you had to go so soon.....

[@keithdarbyshire6481]

this is one of my fav Lizzy songs - and this version is magic, even without Phil there

2016 and i still can hear both guitars talking to me! THIS SONG IS SO FUCKIN MAGIC!

[@user-wk8kj1cu3x]

特にギターソロの時鳥肌が立ちました。 特にブラックローズのソロの部分は衝撃的だったし今聴いても最高です👍

[@badjack1575]

Remember playing this song while studying music in high school, we were 3 guitar players working hard to nail this song before we would perform with it. And just one week before the concert I got the news... Gary Moore had died. I cried like a little baby, but damn if I didn't get to give him the best possible tribute. Even got the Black Rose album cover tattooed on my arm shortly afterwards

[@martintramil8084]

A fitting Tribute indeed Jack, rock on Man!

[@jeromedernoncourt510]

Si triste qu' ils soient partis, Phil Lynott, Gary Moore, je ne me laisse pas de réécouter l'album live, quel talent !!!🤘👍💪😭🤘que j'aurai aimé être plus âgé en ce temps pour aller aux concerts ! Scott Gorham, Brian Robertson, Brian Downey, Éric Bell, ce live est un joyau, ils sont parfois meilleurs que les enregistrements en studio.

i fucking love these guys ..so proud to be irish...philo and gary miss ye loads.

[@rr-nb7vg]

I am Pole, and I am also proud how THEY play!!!

[@Gooseycoyne]

flip inheck Phil was Irish . Where a person is born doesn’t determine their nationality. He was outspoken about his heritage and he was a proud Irishman.

Brilliant !!! Beautifull live version & a fiting tribute to Phil Lynot . Arguabley he best tvvin guitar rock song EVER !!!

Somethings not right. Gary turns his back to the camera when he plays the hard part. Why would he do that? I am talking about the irish jig part.

from Portugal, all hail Gary Moore. What an INCREDIBLY TALENTED GUITAR HERO HE WAS. As soon as I heard the devastating news THIS was the first video that came to hand - must mean something, right? He has now joined his Celtic Soul Brother Phil in the Higher Hall of ETERNAL Fame. THANK YOU!

[@DogCatchersBand]

Snowy White may well have been asked to do this tribute, but he has made no bones in past interviews that his days with Thin Lizzy were not pleasant nor a highlight in his career,and didn't care to discuss it much further. Gary and Scott do a fine job here, sound great together.Thanks for posting and RIP Gary Moore

[@thandle46]

I thought that when he first walked out on stage but when I heard the LP and plankocaster together... wow, they complement each other so well and thats coming from me, a dyed in the wool LP player. Cheers

[@TheTurkeyDinosaur]

Well said, @Danvelgtr. People forget that Moore was only in Lizzy for a short while and yet watching this gig you'd have thought he was the main man. I'm not saying he shouldn't have performed but, in my opinion, Gorham/Robertson should have been the star guitarists as they were the members when Lizzy were arguably in their prime (Live and Dangerous 'era'). I also think John Sykes should have played a part in this show.
