Gary Moore - Emerald (Tribute to Phil Lynott) [HQ] [4/10]

[@LzCoda]

While Gary Moore was always well-respected among his peers, he never got the attention or recognition he deserved. He's a Top 5 - maybe Top 3 - all-time guitar hero in my book.

[@thompsongl]

So many good players but Gary is definitely in that mix !

[@anneominous7172]

@@thompsongl There aren't many other guys who can make the pentatonic scale sound as dynamic as Gary could, that's for sure.

[@thompsongl]

@anneominous7172 absolutely ! He was really really good ! 🎸

[@derrickmurphy9859]

Gary Moore and Rory Gallagher definitely 2 of the best ever.And sorry but Robo was a bloody genius too..

[@bobbybeans3144]

He’s the best ever. Enough said

[@woodseric7225]

Philip Lynott , Gary Moore , Thinlizzy, thanks for the music.

[@garylostinspace8500]

DAMN this song blew my mind in high school, enough to make a Thin Lizzy fan!! RIP Phil and Gary Moore....

[@stiffrp]

Ridiculously excellent. There was so much talent in the 70s and 80s which has never been surpassed.

[@gordonwaller9638]

I love watching older guitarists really enjoying themselves on stage when they do these tributes etc. Well played Eric.

[@friotaiocht101]

One of my all-time favorite songs by the great Thin Lizzy....👍👍👊👊 just a great song... RIP Phil Lynott & Gary Moore....

[@drummer626]

Brian Downey keeps everything clean and tight wwhat a great drummer, it proves you don't have to be super technical just a great feel.

[@ianboylan1981]

I think Downey is a more technical than most guys kind of drummer, but not too technical that it gets in the way. One of my favourites too. His drum solo in bad reputation is probably my favourite of all time. Not over top, just right.

[@WingerRattDokken]

Eddie Thomas Downey plays here this amazing bass drum flicks, he should have more respect nowadays than those arrogant Lars Ulrich guys

[@WingerRattDokken]

Ianthebassist yes, "Bad Reputation" has got awesome drum works on it, the Brian "Razz-Ma-Tazz" Downey sound, reminds me here of Mitch Mitchell, so I call Brian "the Irish Mitch Mitchell"

[@mkilner]

Totally agree, those celtic tribal like rhythms that no one else has matched, and of course bad reputation...Incredible! 👏🏻😌🎼🌟

[@martinparker6536]

@@ianboylan1981 yeah the his drumming in that track is the best i eva heard !

gary moore... the single best guitar player ever

[@peacemaker6662]

@@stephenjeffares1471 As much as I agree that Gary was right up there with the best, he wasn't 'the best'. Sorry he just wasn't.

[@mikelair9144]

Saw him twice with Gary Moore band in early 80s... Had no idea who he was... Until after I saw him.

[@eloypath9842]

Now a Tribute to Gary Moore and Phil Lynott. What a loss..

[@scottgalloway345]

Brian Downey,the most underrated drummer in rock,he was solid as a rock & had an internal metronome that had/has no equal.I've listened to studio cuts against live cuts.... He was rock steady, never missed a beat,no wonder Gary Moore loved playing with him

[@AllenIsaacs-r9r]

Agreed, Also Phil was not considered really a bassist because such a brilliant songwriter and lyricist... I think he started out on guitar just writing songs, then switched to bass out of necessity... Let me tell you, as a Producer/Engineer. Very few guys can play bass with a pick and not rush the tempo and keep the groove... Phil is Brilliant with Brian on the Kit, I have been chastised here on KZbin comments saying how underrated Phil and Brian are as a backing section. They laid down the perfect groove, just behind the beat so the "Shredders" on either side of them "Could Shine", there were many. Eric Bell, originally, then, Gary Moore, Robo (Brian Robertson), John Sykes, then the American, very underrated (Scott Gorham), and even Snowy White on the last tunes was awesome. All Excellent ! It takes a strong leader, someone "Comfortable in his skin" and confident to let the songs go where they go and just "Lay it down" , Phil, Gary RIP......

[@jcdova29]

Gary one of the greatest guitarists ever!!! Brian holding his own as they destroy this song. Amazing performance!!! RIP Gary Moore.

[@ivanbellamy261]

I found lizzy as a 17 yr old,now 68yrs young and they are still the best rock band ever. R.i.p.the boys we lost.

[@AllenIsaacs-r9r]

Yes Indeed, very underrated in the USA, really only known for "The Boys are back in town" on classic radio.... They delivered so much more before and after that and most of the EU, knows!

[@GodsTruthMinistries]

Man oh man, what a performance of a great, and I mean GREAT song. Chills at how good it is. What a pleasure to see Gary invite Robbo and Scott and Bryan, together, blasting out with such talent and precision. I miss Gary to no end...

[@MrMrh1958]

Brian Downey is so underrated!

[@wolfgangrittner6637]

are you kidding? Underrated? He is the guy who played guitar in thin lizzy!! Where I come from(Austrian alps), Everyone here knows he is one of the greatest guitar plyers of his generation and was also the axeman in Motörhead. They named our school after him (in the 70s already). Underrated no way...

[@MrMrh1958]

wolfgang rittner your thinking of Brian Robertson! Brian Downey is the drummer!

[@wolfgangrittner6637]

@@MrMrh1958 You are 100% correct Burton and I made a complete Jack Ass out of myself. lol I admit it. I mixed them up a little. Thank you for getting back to me. So, you are right about Brian Robertson as the Guitarplayer and being underrated. Cheers

[@MrMrh1958]

wolfgang rittner No , I said Brian Downey is underrated!

[@philfyphil]

LOL Oops Wolfgang! One of the greatest drum solos I ever witnessed was from Brian Downey. I saw Lizzy 11 times! Brian Robertson was ridiculously under rehearsed for this gig

[@hannu8755]

Gary Moore music will live forever!!! 🤘👍Rest in peace master of guitar. 🙏

[@tomhipchen9507]

Can we just talk about how incredibly well mixed this is for a live recording for a second? They even went so far as to iso Gary in the left ear and Robo is in right.

[@flynnt1953]

Spot on mate

[@randyhibbs2491]

@tomhipchen9507 Great call man. I must be a left eared person; cause Gary sounds a little better than Robo. Both are great but Gary's in my top 3 all-time.

[@bigsiggi4021]

R.I.P Gary we miss you ..and .. Phil Lynott

[@Rokonroller]

Wow! Every time I hear Gary I’ll feel sorry for those that call todays noise music.

[@Richard_Gatecliffe_Photography]

What a fantastic line up. World class rock guitarists playing timeless rock songs. Rest in peace Phil and Gary. Gone but by no means forgotten.

[@snerper]

I live in Brighton, about two miles or so from Gary's grave in Rottingdean, I visit it a lot, it's nice to sit there listening to the birds singing and having a chat to Gary! This might sound a bit deranged maybe, but when you're actually sitting there it seems quite natural to have a one sided chat to a man who left this world far too early!

[@godfreyulex1203]

why was Gary buried there when he's from Belfast

[@cathywilde2756]

Most of his family now live in Brighton, they probably wanted him near them. He was only 16 leaving Belfast.

[@neilnoble1771]

Snerper. What a wonderful message. Why deranged ??? You read like a wonderful soul. Keep going to Garys graveside. I'm gonna go soon too. A man who left this world wayyyyyy too early

[@stevekendrick2008]

I read somewhere it was Gary's choice to be buried there not far from where his family live now. There's a video on youtube of his resting place.

[@BluesLicks101]

Robbo and Gary on the same stage at the same time, the 2 best guitarists in Thin Lizzy (sorry Scott & Eric, but its true) - THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!

[@brianhossner2826]

Eric Bell sounds fantastic.

[@johnthonig1692]

Scott Gorham

[@johnstitt2615]

No need to say sorry because you are wrong. I like Robbo but I would take Scott over him as he has played tasty leads and is more fluid and creamy in his solo work. He is also a team player. His solo in Still in love with you Live in Sydney was pretty damn good. Gary was the best and you could see Scott loving his time on stage with him.

[@bigd2198]

Yeah they’re the two for me.

[@robertburke784]

I feel truly blessed to have seen Gary twice and Thin Lizzy twice here in the United States. Gary never made it real big here for some reason, so seeing him twice {Victims of the future and Wild frontier tours} makes it even more special! Best hard rock guitarist ever.

[@SouthOCmixdown]

Always loved this song. Love the whole Jailbreak LP. I'll never understand why the industry forces music into these narrow boxes. Hard rock. Metal. Punk. Death. Doom. Thrash. Alternative. Indie, etc. Then the younger musicians follow suit to the categories. Then their fans. Then the venues. Before you know it, guys are more worried about which Hot Topic patch of ripped T-shirt swatch they are going to pin to their denim jacket, than they are enjoying and honoring great undefined music like this. Montrose, Moore, Fripp, Beck, B. Campbell. Fuck now time is starting to take these guys from us. They can never be replaced.

[@AnticsRocket]

+SouthOCmixdown Always chuckled at the intro to this on the live album... 'Are there any girls here with any Irish in them? Are there any girls who'd like a little more Irish in them?...... Emerald'

[@paulies5407]

Jailbreak is a great album. So many underrated tunes on that

[@AllenIsaacs-r9r]

Robo Rocking the '73 deluxe here and actually "Staring down his Mate" Gary, I love this interaction.... Totally Thin Lizzy, take no prisoners vibe.... Gary has some fast runs ... but come on, Robo delivers true Blues rock vibes on his end solo riffs... Thanks so much for uploading this Gem of a live performance. My heritage is from the Emerald land, Ireland, and how this song brings in the Celtic melody is totally Phil Lynott's blood flowing through this... Where is this "Deep Rooted" music now, maybe a bit from Nashville, but even they have gone pop, hip hop... The real deal here.

Watch/Listen to Robbo on 1:47 to 1:48 . That's why Thin Lizzy is so great for me. I can recognize Robbo's sound anytime.. Of course because of Phil and all the other members. Listen to Wildhorses ( Jimmy Bain and Robbo ) . It's the closest you can have to a Lizzy Album. His tone for me is the best in the world of rock n roll.
