....but did you FEEL it? That is the question. Nobody will ever play with more feel, emotion and fire than Gary Moore. Saw him lots of times live. Best guitarist to ever walk the earth.

[@Sensei.shonuff]

Man don't even get me started Still got the blues is just as emotional if not more Man Gary moore was some kinda monster

Please watch the live bootleg of Andy Timmons Cry for You. Gary Moore brought me to him.

garymoore is super star.

[@RltchieI]

Moore is criminally underrated when it comes to top guitarist lists, it’s actually sickening seeing some that get rated higher than he does.

[@JoeSlish-q2e]

he did not tour in the us as a solo act

[@RltchieI]

@ he toured the US as a solo artist in 1983, 1984, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1992 & likely more. I even have a radio concert from the last show of the 1987 tour from the Paradise Rock Club, Boston 1st September 1987. Not sure why you would think he didn’t tour the US given it isn’t exactly difficult to find his tour history or the number of bootlegs from that era.

[@andrewcannon205]

Gary was the best guitarist ever, simply unmatched in style, technique, skill, passion, feel. There was nothing he couldn’t play.

[@jutta3378]

Yeah, and that's just the guitar...but that voice! He was an incredible singer as well!

[@JoeSlish-q2e]

Not even close but he is a decent guitarist. Don't think much of the band either.

@@chip8204 I was lucky enough to see David Gilmore 30 years ago and he is high on my favorite guitarist list, but Gary is on another level, one that only Gary has ever been able to reach.

[@billbreen4387]

Unapologetic, unprecedented, and absolutely unbeatable, this was what we listened to in the 80s , this was pure rock, get in get in you absolute genius Garry Moore, I love it now. As much as I did then……. Call it nostalgia if you want, but good music is good music no matter what generation….

[@stefanstock953]

THE MESSIAH WILL COME AGAIN.... More feeling, emotions, extraordinary talent, expression, stage presens, showmanship, love for playing his instrument, passion to inspire and delight your fans, is not possible. Only Gary can do that, in my opinion. I was lucky enough to see him live on stage once. Here in Cologne, Germany on his "After the War" tour in 1989. Before he switched to the Blues. Unimaginable and unforgettable experience and defently a lifechanger for me. R.I.P. GARY

[@VinceEmbry]

Oh yes! Most definitely. Live.

World class performance

I think so.

[@boogaloobaloo]

America had SRV and Europe had Gary Moore. Two of the absolute best to ever do it. Stevie shredded strings and played dirty nasty blues, Gary burned amps to ground and poured his soul through every note. Their souls were fused to their instruments in a way few will ever be blessed enough to approach.

[@alexanderkeber4257]

Amen!

[@sumonjamal1653]

Gary Moore had been playing since the 60's and also played in the Irish rock band Thin Lizzy (he was good friends w/ late bassist/vocalist Phil Lynott)... He launched a solo career in the 70's and was pretty big in Europe by the 80's... Unfortunately, he didn't break big in America until his blues album 'Still got the blues' sold gold in the US in 1990... That success sort of limited his fame as a blues guitarist (He was more of a hard rock guitarist & vocalist w/ heavy blues influences) Tragically, he struggled w/ alcohol abuse and passed away in 2011 at age 58.

[@fractaljack210]

Gary Moore is a god. Great reaction.

[@davidmalarkey1302]

You are watching a master of his craft Gary Moore was by far one of the best guitarists of his generation along with David Gilmour.

[@jonncockrell3606]

Gilmour is excellent but nowhere near Gary Moore. In my opinion.

[@josephbucknavage6739]

It is truly an empty room without Gary Moore.

[@pluckinmageetar]

One of the GOATS! Gary is sorely missed.

[@robinabbott5781]

Gary RIP❤ ,dont forget the great Aussie bass player Bob Daisly❤

[@shspurs1342]

That Guitar tone is almost perfection.

[@MPDSR422]

The truth is the late Gary Moore was almost out of the business until he made an album mostly for himself called “Still Got The Blues” and BOOM! Grammy time and top selling album.

[@alexanderkeber4257]

It’s just like when Stevie Ray Vaughan played you had to grab a hold to your chair to hold on to for the ride.

[@mac10ner]

My favourite guitarist, worlds best emotive player. Parisienne walkways, messiah will come again, sky is crying. All his live stuff. Incredible guitarist. One of the goats

[@LordEriolTolkien]

the high point of Gary's fame was my teens. I was 19 when this was performed. He was truly great. His early hard rock stuff is excellent. And his blues is phenomenal

[@mikemaas9944]

His work with Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce on BBM's Around The Next Dream was also outstanding. Absolutely brilliant guitarist with such unique tone. Some of us have been lucky enough to escape our demons and come out healthy on the other side. He was not. RIP Gary Moore.

Gary was amazing and I especially love his 80's era when he did Wild Frontier album. It was the first album I heard from him and was hooked ever since. This concert was absolutely amazing as well. I've seen it several times. Pity he left us too early, but luckily still had a long and productive career. R.I.P. Gary Moore.

The influence of Peter Green is unmistakable in Gary’s playing and I love Parisienne Walkways which he recorded and played on Greeny until he sold it.

[@dansloan4169]

He did right by Peter Green with his playing The Supernatural on the the Blues for Greeny recording.

Both David and Gary play with full emotion & passion! THAT is the similarity you're hearing. I've been playing guitar for 57 years now, since I was 8 (I am no where NEAR even a good guitarist) and have watched/listened to them all over the decades. Gary is right up there with the very best of them! In my view, he's in the top 25 easily. This was an outstanding solo from him, and very much a demonstration of that emotion and passion that he played with. Plus, he had great vocals!

[@genegiusti6239]

Well said! Seen them both live, David solo and the two tours with post Roger, Floyd. Was a fan of Gary's in Lizzy, saw him live from his rocking days of Corridors of Power all through his blues era. There few guitarists that can squeeze as much emotion out of a single note as those two guys.

Empty Rooms is off his Victims of the Future album, which is my favorite of all his albums. Lots of great songs there including Victims of the Future, Murder in the Skies, Hold on to Love, The Law of the Jungle, and Devil in Her Heart. Other good albums I frequently listen to are After the War, Wild Frontier, and Corridors of Power.
