Gary Moore - The Last Gig

...garymoorefc.com

[@DigitalBathInAZ]

Im here in 2024 watching. I have loved this man's playing since I was a teenager in the '80s, but rarely listen to him anymore because it's hard to explain to anyone who who sees me why I am a grown-ass man crying while listening to such beauty. Everyone in the comments knows what I mean.

Gary Moore was the complete musician. Apart from technical bravery, he mastered many different genres, didn´t focus on senseless shredding, gave great importance to melodic beauty , strong passion and never sold himself to producers, the buisness, the chicks ... Hope he remains a role model for young guitar aspirants.

[@samiam9059]

He could and did obviously play as fast as anyone but the genius use and ability to be more melodic was a true master of guitar. You have to have really good ears and it showed with him.

Such a rare breed. The man maintained his fire and passion right up until the end. And only kept getting better with chops that would keep up with any shredder. And OMFG that tone that could either lull a baby to sleep or tear your head off using only his hands and the controls on the guitar.

[@DennyBob521]

Gary was a Godsend on the guitar. He had a rare emotional intensity mixed with technical prowess you rarely see. Eric Clapton called SRV an “open channel” - the power and music came from above and flowed straight through him. Gary was also an open channel IMHO. He had such a tremendous effect on my playing, transforming me from a shredder with lightning scales and sweeps that sounded like video game music into looking at music differently - melody, dynamics and emotion. You are missed Gary. ❤️🎸

[@amzpro5734]

Played the guitar for 30 years and even now when I watch GM clips playing live, I just keep going "wow". The guy is a beast on 6 strings. He reminds me of Mick Green, but on a Les Paul!

I'm proud to say that Gary Moore's last gig was actually in the Ranelagh pub in Brighton with my Dad and me. My dad on guitar and vocals and myself on Cajon, as I was inbetween touring with Candela Trio , No bassist but it still rocked. I went for a pee in the break and there was some young guy in the toilet ringing someone else telling them he'd never been to a live gig before and he was blown away by it. I felt like turning around and saying to him do you know those guys are up there..... I kept the moment for myself 😂

He started with an explorer then used a mixture of Les Paul's through the gig - all of the Les Paul's sounded fantastic. I don't actually remember his board at all - I'm not sure there was much to it. I wish I'd paid more attention - also not sure which models of LP (sorry) - you just think these people will be around forever, but no one really comes close in his genre.

One of rock's most underrated guitarists (both from a technical and compositional point of view), Gary Moore remains relatively unknown in the U.S., while his solo work has brought him substantial acclaim and commercial success in most other parts of the world -- especially in Europe. Born on April 4, 1952, in Belfast, Ireland, Moore became interested in guitar during the '60s, upon discovering such blues-rock masters as Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, and perhaps his biggest influence of all, Fleetwood Mac's Peter Green. After relocating to Dublin later in the decade, Moore joined a local rock group called Skid Row, which featured a young singer by the name of Phil Lynott, who would soon after leave the group to double up on bass and form Thin Lizzy. Skid Row persevered, however, eventually opening a show for Moore's heroes, Peter Green and Fleetwood Mac, and making such an impression on the veteran group that Green personally requested their manager help secure Skid Row a recording contract with CBS (in addition, Green sold Moore one of his most-used guitars, a maple 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard, which would become Moore's primary instrument). SkidSkid Row would go on to issue several singles and albums (including 1970's Skid and 1971's 34 Hours), and although the group mounted a few tours of Europe and the U.S., it failed to obtain breakthrough commercial success, leading to Moore's exit from the group in 1972. Moore then formed his own outfit, the Gary Moore Band (along with members drummer Pearse Kelly and bassist John Curtis), for which the guitarist also served as vocalist. But after the trio's debut album, 1973's Grinding Stone, sunk without a trace, Moore hooked up once more with ex-bandmate Lynott in Thin Lizzy. Moore's initial tenure in Lizzy proved to be short-lived, however, as his fiery playing was featured on only a handful of tracks. Moore then set his sights on studio work (appearing on Eddie Howell's 1975 release, Gramaphone Record), before joining up with a prog rock/fusion outfit, Colosseum II. But once more, Moore's tenure in his latest outfit was fleeting; he appeared on only three recordings (1976's Strange New Flesh, plus a pair in 1977, Electric Savage and War Dance), as Moore accepted an invitation by his old buddy Lynott to fill in for a Thin Lizzy U.S. tour, playing arenas opening for Queen. Andrew Lloyd Webber: VariationsMoore proved to be quite busy in 1978, as the guitarist appeared on three other artists' recordings -- Andrew Lloyd Webber's Variations, Rod Argent's Moving Home, and Gary Boyle's Electric Glide. The same year, Moore issued his second solo release (almost five years after his solo debut), Back on the Streets, which spawned a surprise Top Ten U.K. hit in May of 1979, the bluesy ballad "Parisienne Walkways," and featured vocal contributions by Lynott. Moore joined forces with his Lizzy mates once more in 1979, appearing on arguably the finest studio album of their career, Black Rose, which proved to be a huge hit in the U.K. (for a fine example of Moore's exceptional guitar skills, check out the album's epic title track). But predictably, Moore ultimately exited the group once more (this time right in the middle of a U.S. tour), as a rift had developed between Moore and Lynott. Undeterred, Moore lent some guitar work to drummer Cozy Powell's solo release, Over the Top, in addition to forming a new outfit, G Force, which would only remain together for a lone self-titled release in 1980. Manoeuvres During the early '80s, Moore united with former ELP guitarist/bassist/singer Greg Lake, appearing on a pair of Lake solo releases (1981's self-titled release and 1983's Manoeuvres), in addition to guesting on another Cozy Powell solo release, Octopuss. But it was also during the '80s that Moore finally got serious with his solo career -- issuing such heavy metal-based works as 1982's Corridors of Power, 1983's Victims of the Future, 1984's Dirty Fingers and the in-concert set We Want Moore!, 1985's Run for Cover, 1987's Wild Frontier, plus 1989's After the War -- establishing a large following in Europe, despite remaining virtually unknown stateside. The decade wasn't all rosy for Moore, however -- although he was able to patch up his friendship with Phil Lynott (appearing with Lizzy for several tracks on Life/Live, and teaming with Lynott for a pair of tracks in 1985, "Military Man" and "Out in the Fields," the latter a U.K. hit), years of hard living finally caught up with Lynott, leading to his passing in January of 1986. Moore would subsequently dedicate "Wild Frontier" to Lynott, and honored Thin Lizzy's former frontman on the track "Blood of Emeralds" (from After the War). Still Got the Blues Fed up with the pressure to pen hit singles and tired of his metallic musical direction, Moore returned to his blues roots for 1990's Still Got the Blues, the most renowned and best-selling release of his career, as the album featured such special guests as Albert Collins, Albert King, and George Harrison. Moore continued in his newly rediscovered blues style on such subsequent releases as 1992's After Hours and 1993's Blues Alive, before forming the short-lived supergroup BBM along with Cream's former rhythm section -- bassist Jack Bruce and drummer Ginger Baker -- which lasted for a single album, 1994's Around the Next Dream. Up next for Moore was a tribute album for Peter Green, 1995's Blues for Greeny, which saw him put his own personal stamp on 11 tracks either penned or performed at some point by Green. Moore experimented with different musical styles on his next two solo releases, 1997's Dark Days in Paradise and 1999's A Different Beat, before embracing the blues once more on his first release of the 21st century, 2001's Back to the Blues. The Collection [Sanctuary] Over the years, Gary Moore has been the subject of countless compilations, the best of the bunch being 1998's metal-oriented Collection and 2002's blues-based Best of the Blues, as well as Out in the Fields: The Very Best of Gary Moore, which was split 50/50 between his metal and blues excursions. Teaming with Skunk Anansie bassist Cass Lewis and Primal Fear drummer Darrin Mooney, Moore started work on much harder and alternative-influenced rock in the spring of 2002 and released the results as Scars. The powerful Live at Monsters of Rock from 2003 proudly declared "no overdubs used" while 2004's raw Power of the Blues featured nothing but the blues, as did 2006's Old New Ballads Blues on Eagle Records, 2007's Close As You Get (which featured some drum contributions from his old Thin Lizzy friend Brian Downey), and 2008's Bad for You Baby. This turned out to be Moore's final studio album, as he unexpectedly passed away of a suspected heart attack in the early morning hours of February 6, 2011, while vacationing in Spain.

A few years back I was going through a phase where I was super impressed by technical proficiency one can achieve on guitar, and once I heard the solos on "Pretty Woman", I was blown away and started digging deeper into Gary's music. Little did I know that this footage of Gary's last concert would kickstart my love for his music, and ultimately discovering that apart from insane chops, he poured all of his soul into the music, and his feeling of the blues is really unmatched. He perfectly combined the technical aspect with emotional, without comprising one or the other. What a player!

I'm so proud to be an Irishman. Gary Moore from Belfast, Rory Gallagher from Ballyshannon and Eric Bell Belfast and Louie Stewart the world famous Jazz Guitarist from Dublin. Belfast born Artists John Lavery from North Queen St and William Conor from the Shankill Rd. Belfast born George Best and Pat Jennings from Newry to name but a few. Oh the Notorious Conor McGregor and last, but not least, The Magnificent Mary Peters. What a line up and there are dozens of great people from Ireland.

It really is truly sad that he is no longer with us, to produce more beautiful and memorising music. If there is a heaven I look forward to meeting him and saying what an absolute legend he is. Rest in peace.

[@thehomefront1905]

Kalum George Tocher I agree but unfortunately my friend there is no heaven, that is just made up bullshit that weak minded fools want to believe, it's very easy to take money from people when you tell them what they want to hear.

[@preparationh_25g38]

thehomefront To be honest mate I completely agree with you about that heaven thing. I guess I was just trying to be nice.

[@thehomefront1905]

I did think that mate. do you play guitar?

[@preparationh_25g38]

thehomefront Yes I do my good sir 😊

[@thehomefront1905]

Kalum George Tocher nice one, if I could play like any guitar player, Gary moore it would be, I love the power and attack he has, a no nonsense approach, pure grit and passion, making every note sound good, shit I've got a long way to go.

[@g.g.securedstorage4568]

Watched this gig at least 40 times. Love, love how he drips emotion and feeling into every single note and power chord that he touches. The master lives on...So sad never saw him live

[@cragginshred]

Me neither

[@ninjaman1685]

I saw gary a few times, through his change in music, still mesmerised me, but he never looked “settled” with his life, just seemed lonely, i think he knew this gig would be one of his last, you can feel it. I miss you so much man. 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Sort of the vibe I get from watching Phil sometimes. The Apex of Talents but in the grand scheme of things greatly underappreciated.

[@ritchieblackmore2711]
