....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.

[@sheryllaporte9846]

Still Got the Blues for You.

[@pudder68]

classic

[@victoriawebster8816]

My favorite ❤❤❤

[@perchristmansson3788]

I was THERE

[@TLos520]

To me one of the most under appreciated guitarists of all time

[@user-bb2nr3jy9d]

You will never ever hear a better guitar player than Gary Moore👍

[@chip8204]

David Gilmour

[@user-bb2nr3jy9d]

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

[@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.

[@robinabbott5781]

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

[@samandjennysambrook]

If you are a genuine guitar 🎸 music lover then Gary is you're man, He played with love , passion, conviction and dedication to his art... I loved him and miss him every day 🎶🎸❤️😞

[@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.

[@mac10ner]

World class performance

[@samandjennysambrook]

Saw Gary do The Messiah will come again,as an encore at Manchester Apollo...wow oh wow...he almost took the roof off... Amazing to say the least.🎸🎶❤️

[@jasper221176]

Yes, best solo ever!!!

[@OhWel]

Still got the blues for you Gary Moore

[@JustanOlGuy]

Parisienne Walkways too!

[@Niteowlette]

Yes to both! 👍👍

[@raytull3922]

If you haven't seen Joe Bonomassa's version of Still Got the Blues Live at the Beacon Theater, it is "Other Worldly".

[@roverwaters3875]

the best guitarist

[@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.

[@Ohio45545]

Gary Moore was a Guitar God

[@JustanOlGuy]

Parisienne Walkways! Still got the Blues! Great Stuff from a Great Artist!

[@Niteowlette]

Yes! 👍👍Parisienne Walkways.

[@Dervanism]

The thrill is gone bb king and Gary Moore it’s fire🇨🇦🔥🇨🇦

[@fractaljack210]

Gary Moore is a god. Great reaction.

[@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

[@JustanOlGuy]

His stuff with Thin Lizzy was flawless

[@cainealexander-mccord2805]

Without, too.

[@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

[@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.

[@pluckinmageetar]

One of the GOATS! Gary is sorely missed.

[@poloreacts27]

This video came from the comment section great pick!

[@amjrpain919]

Blood, Sweat & Tears had a song - I'll love you more than you'll ever know . Gary does a phenomenal version of that song! Beth Hart & Joe Bonomassa also do it justice...

[@amjrpain919]

R.I.P Gary, You're still the Best...🙏💯💔

[@stevencorreia9193]

Gary Moore's cover of Red House (live). 🔥🔥

[@andrewlaw]

100%

[@josephbucknavage6739]

It is truly an empty room without Gary Moore.

[@mletrout7942]

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.

[@danisue273]

I definitely need to go down the Gary Moore rabbit hole. Wow!!!

[@michaeldean7220]

And I need to go and saw my respects to him. He's buried in a very unassuming plot about 30 mins from where I live :)

[@riffmondo9733]

Gary Moore was one of the badasses.

[@carolinemccabe7155]

Parisienne Walkways ❤️

[@petersjoberg1548]

One of the best concerts ever..... Live in Stockholm. The Looner is a masterpiece,

[@kevingodziebiewski2593]

Gary is an absolute beast!…he’s made so much music it’s hard to get a feel for him from one song…dive deeper

[@veredwald6776]

You have to watch/listen to The Loner from the same concert. Simply mindblowing !!

[@paulburton5150]

A great melodic solo. Very Jeff Beck-ish. Gary could really make that guitar sing

[@phaelon56]

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 bene lucky enough to escape our demons and come out healthy on the other side. He was not. RIP Gary Moore.

[@jelduranm]

Still got the blues for you. My favorite one from him.

[@AP-gb3eh]

Every great guitarist has a recognizable sound. You know Beck, Gilmor,Page ,SRV, etc. You know Gary

[@rodneymacomber6337]

Peter Green, Frank Morano, Robin Trower,, to add to your fine list

[@AP-gb3eh]

@@rodneymacomber6337 absolutely,! I just spent a month or so visiting with Green on old tracks 💕💕Now I have some others to revisit

[@bballajh]

Over the Hills and Far Away

[@oldsoulsheart]

Now this is the kind of music i truly love.

[@stevenewcomer8837]

This is a great song. Gary’s solo album “Corridors of Power” is also excellent! Gary also played guitar for Greg Lake on his early 80’s solo albums. They are worth a listen also.

[@deepseadweller687]

Dammmmm thats good.

[@dgirdaukas9587]

Thank you Polo for reacting to this..i have never heard Empty Rooms before. What an outstanding guitarist Gary Moore was. I don't know where I was in the early 80's..

[@brendariver9701]

Thanks for the great coverage of some of our favorite artists. Have you listened to Still Got The Blues yet? Gary is just great, what can I say.....

[@RA-ww8og]

I was lucky to see Gary on this tour in a small club in Providence, RI. I still have photos and a guitar pick from the show. One of the best live performances I've ever witnessed.

[@Tolemac7]

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.

[@davidanon1568]

The song sounds so much like the 1980s. Specifically like the late 1980s. There is definitely a difference between what was going on musically in the early 1980s and then the late 1980s.

[@wendycrawford1792]

I humbly asked for Parisienne Walkways with Gary Moore and Gregg Lake. I see that many others are asking for this song as well. Here’s hoping and thank you for listening and sharing!

[@danieloleary1067]

Now, Jeff Beck... "Where Were You"

[@unklebeer4766]

Similar feel

[@DaveGTR11]

Just found your channel, I enjoy the way you watch and listen instead of interrupting. You allow yourself to experience it and then share your thoughts. There’s another version of this when he’s much older that is just amazing. Gary passed several years ago, heartbroken and an alcoholic. He was an amazing guy and guitarist. Thanks for reviewing this!

[@williammolina9792]

He used the EMG 81 pickup here.

[@dquseo]

Congrats, you have arrived at the finest of the finest.

[@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.

[@mottjones2876]

Loved watching your face during this one. I could tell it got to you. Greatest solo? No. Not even the greatest Gary Moore solo. There are better. But it was indeed a hell of a performance.

[@craigulatorOne]

He is a god.

[@johncapuano7589]

Gary was the greatest

[@Wally_fam]

This will be heading right for my playlist

[@cheriastrahan8453]

Love it!! So unexpected! Never heard of this person before but will have to more! Thank you for airing this❤❤

[@barneyrubble9309]

And this was before he got hold of "greenie".

[@starkmoore2684]

Still got the blues live from hammersmith Odeon 1990, the messiah will come again live montreaux 91, parisienne walkways live royal Albert Hall 92 or the loner live from Sweden 87 same concert as empty rooms..Gary as you said had it all, playing fast or slow, always clean and full of soul and emotion .

[@hansmolders1066]

When your music theory is ten out of ten and your soul is 12 out of ten...

[@wietseterpstra8295]

Red house, at the 50 years of stratocaster concert, after that the guitar needs a smoke when Gary is finnished.

[@wendycrawford1792]

Polo, because you loved this song so much and Gary Moore’s musical genius, l highly recommend that you listen to ‘Parisienne Walkways’ with Gregg Lake and Gary Moore. The song is stunning and the guitar work is superb! A hauntingly beautiful song. Thank you.

[@marilynsammons4771]

It is good but my favorite is the guitar solo of David Gilmour in Comfortably Numb!

[@sherryherrick6567]

Sorry I dint know this guy is his band and whatnot. I thought this was a Journey song. Ya gotta admit this guy sounds a lot like Steve Perry, yes? 🎶 🎵 🎼 💿 And the guitar here is magnificent!! 😮

[@wgdavis5353]

Hi Mr. Polo, Great, U should review the live version of "Still Got The Blues" and "Parisienne Walkways" ♠Mr.G..

[@victoriawebster8816]

I appreciate you listening to great music 🎶 ❤ From a different generation

Gary Moore Parisienne Walkways live at Montreux has possibly the greatest guitar solo ever recorded. Edit: dropped video link in reply

Wow this was a treat! Never heard of him before Thanks Polo and the person who suggested this video!

[@zweetvoeten]

In my toplist of best solo's ever. RIP Gary Moore.

[@andrewlaw]

Been going to gigs for over 40yrs, Gary was the best guitar player I've had the pleasure to see. His rendition of Hendrix' Red House at the Fender Anniversary Awards will knock your socks off.

[@BoskoCubrilo]

I've also suggested this song a couple of months ago. Great to hear you react to it!

[@Pristina-nw4cw]

He draws you in with such feeling .. perfection!

[@jamiedorey2124]

Great reaction Polo - pls react to Parisienne Walkways live in Dublin a real banger like Empty Rooms - You will love it plus Bad Reputation Thin lizzy and Gary Moore live -Epic

[@victoriawebster8816]

I love Gary but never heard this song ! He’s awesome “Still got the blues for you” is my favorite ❤❤❤❤

[@thomasturner9188]

Terry Kath (RIP), Chicago, 25 or 6 to 4....live, Tanglewood...unbelievable solo. Even Hendrix said Terry was was the best. (Igor Paspalj...Breakneck...another unreal solo, check it out too.)

[@KevinPittman-zp9qk]

Greatest maybe but undoubtedly great

[@redzone77p]

I always considered this the greatest solo of all time....the tone and the accuracy are sublime.

[@sauroncl]

God, Gary is a God....but in my opinion this is the most comercial song besides his ultrahit still got the blues (recommended too) my favorite is Parisienne Walkways where he makes his guitar cries like no one, a total beast.

[@jokervienna6433]

I´m like you in that I don´t like saying that "this is THE best ever". When it comes to any instrument, there are different times, genres, ways of playing, available tech, different styles and different feelings. BUT, I feel comfortable in saying "DON`T MISS THIS!" - he was _one_ of the best. Anyone on the "Guitar Road" can´t just skip Gary. RIP.

If you appreciated this you have to delve into "end of the world" or "Cold Hearted"... "Victims of the Future" also.❤RIP Gary.

[@royhanbury5730]

RIP Gary thanks for the music. Gary did the greatest version of Hey Joe ever recorded live with mitch mitchell and billy cox (jimi hendrix experience)

[@ericsingerfan1]

This concert was fire!!! With Bob Daisley on bass, from Rainbow & Ozzy Osbourne's band and Eric Singer on drums, from Black Sabbath and later drummer from KISS and many more.

[@StewRoberts]

Don’t forget Gary’s rock era right hand man, Neil Carter on keys, vocals, guitar, samplers… God this concert was good! In my opinion, this was Gary at his absolute best

[@CarolLewellen]

Great song! Love it!

[@s550danny]

Honestly, although he’s not my favorite guitarist (I do enjoy it he’s just not at my #1 place) I believe that the title of “greatest live electric guitar solo” goes to Jimi Hendrix playing machine gun at the filmore east. One of the few times jimi showed just how good he was outside of the studio.

[@georgemobley5913]

The start sounds a little Jeff Beckish but just a great song. Thanks POLO.

[@GayleKazanis]

He is very good ❤ not grandma's favorite 😹 what do I know 😂 got grandma dancing 🎉 peace ✌️ Polo...

[@JuniorFarquar]

Peter Green basically "gave" Greenie to Gary Moore. Now it's soiled by Kirk Whammit

[@deantrovinger4194]

He might be right! WOW……….

[@GayleKazanis]

Mine too ❤✌️

[@neoman1858]

Sounds like a Jeff Beck warm up.

[@elaineshepherd7243]

Brilliant, love Gary Moore. Polo would you please listen to Pink Floyd’s One of these Days (the live Pulse Version). You’ll love the bass but Dave Gilmore on the slide guitar will blow your mind. Love to hear what you think

[@Shermanite0623]

Polo, I hope you will react to Haley Reinhart and PostModern Jukebox covering "Don't Speak" by No Doubt.
