This is as good as it gets. Gary was on fire, and the solo on this song is the pinnacle of electric blues guitar. Playing to a nearly comatose audience, the solo comes to a climax with such conviction and energy, it leaves me breathless every time I listen to it. If you don't feel it, I feel sorry for you. Every note where it belongs, the rules of tension and release in place, beautiful touch and vibrato, and perfect tone and execution; in a word, magic. Not a player alive can match this.
com·a·tose: Of or in a state of deep unconsciousness for a prolonged or indefinite period, especially as a result of severe injury or illness. Lol :) Well put!
Thank goodness we have video like this to explain to our kids what music is all about. No sexy dancers or light. Just pure raw emotions. Long live music
Totally agree. I never tire of hearing this one. The climb up the fretboard toward the end of the solo is utterly perfect and it makes this easily one of the greatest blues guitar solos ever.
There is no best Guitar player. This is not sport, it is art. Gary is amazing, nothing less and he moves me in ways Petrucci doesn't. But guess what, it is also the other way around. This goes for many other guitar gods. They are all artists, each with his own unique signature. So love the one you love, respect the others.
Having seen Gary live, his solos gave me goosebumps - just an incredible guitarist and I don't know of any living guitarist that can match him. I always felt he was underrated in success terms but not by people who appreciate excellent electric blues.
Agree with everything you said, huge huge Fan just a great incredible player the bet that will ever be no one came near , and with a great voice to boot ,love you GM
Gary was the most bold and melodic sounding bluesman who ever lived. You can feel his music, his drive, and his pain. This song is from After Hours, an amazing album.
He moved on and went over the hills and far away now...The king of the blues. Now he`s walking with the King of Kings. No more Parisienne Walkways no more Friday on your mind no more Gary Moore. You left us out in the fields, in empty rooms drowning in tears. truely a hero... thanks gary for everything rest in peace
I was a hardcore Metalhead back in the days. Detested everything and everyone that wasn't Metal. And then I heard this man.Everything changed from that day onwards.I still am into Metal but Blues has a special place in my heart
Anyone who can induce tears has to be an exceptional Artist ; not many are able to actually channel their soul through an instrument like this.... Gary was one of them and there has yet to be another to invoke such strong emotions in his fans. Rest in peace Gary. Sorely missed.
God! what a MASTER! I'm a guitar freak for years and I thought I listened to it all until I found Gary. He tops them ALL. Never seen anyone like him, and will never see.
What an absolute meagre bit of applause for what is one of the best guitar solos anyone has ever played. If I was at that gig I would hang my head in shame. Genius is the only word that fits. R.I.P Gary. You were the best.
If you watch the whole concert, there is mad applause overall. I think the crowd just got so blown away by the collective ass-kicking greatness that is Gary Moore that they became a bit too stunned at what they were seeing to do much more than sit there and gape in awe at the blues hurricane in front of them.
To be fair to the audience, I believe that particular show was a warm-up gig before a tour. It was a small venue, it wasn't advertised, and most of the crowd were invited family and friends. Hence the slightly more subdued responses to what were undeniably superb renditions of his latest stuff. Would have loved to be there....
There have been some amazing blues artists, but none as soulfull as Gary Moore. I cannot listen to The Story Of The Blues without falling apart. This is what the blues is all about.
My baby she left me, my baby she's gone. My sweet little angel has spread her wings and flown. Can't think of a reason for going on. From this day I will play the blues. She said it was over, this time it's the end. Bad luck and trouble gonna be my only friend. I still can't believe it, after all we've been through. Everyday I will play the blues. Everybody knows what the blues is all about. It's a pain you can't live with. It's a woman you can't live without. She came from Chicago. She read me the news. In the headlines was a story of the blues. They say a broken heart can always mend. Time is the healer and sadness will end. But I've done so much crying, when will I laugh again? Till that day I will play the blues. Everybody knows what the blues is all about. It's a pain you can't live with. It's a woman you can't live without. Could have cried me a river when they told me the news. On that day was a story of the blues.
where are the millions of views and subscribers . Since Gary Moore died these riffling incendiary riffs will never b heard live again. Gary was supremely talented.
GARY MOORE CAN STAND WITH THE BEST EVER LIVED......STEVIE RAY/ ALBERT KING/ ERIC CLAPTON... AND MANY OTHERS. MY OPINION, GARY WAS THE BEST ,JUST SAYIN'. BUT, I LOVE THEM ALL. THE THING TO DO IS JUST ENJOY THEIR MUSIC & SMILE. THX PAUL 4 SHARING.
3:52 to 5:58. I don't know man, he's the feeling himself, he's sounds, love, guitars... he definitely was one of the best blues players in the world. And still is, he lives in this kind of sound, in this feeling. Holy shit i admire him so much.
Gary moore ending such a performance with a "thank you" helps you understand how little selfawareness did he have... if i was him, i'd end up with a "you're welcome"
Brad Hollman...this is my first introduction to Gary Moore and he's truly the first one to fill my heart since loosing Alvin Lee...So thankful their music lives on. I Thank you for the turn on. Oh My .
I remember the times of magnetic cassettes. A friend of mine got crazy when he found some GM's songs and could record them. Few months later my friend died in a car crash. Thanks Gary Moore, you still got the blues. RIP
This might be the hundredth time I have watched this video . I finally subbed. Sorry it took so long . Best solo ever played on a Les Paul . Gary I always felt your pain . RIP you will live in us forever .
My abosolute favorite blues song and solo. The most heartfelt solo ever - we don't need any words to understand the message, the guitar transcends and speaks volumes. Just the best!
I’ve listened to a lot of blues in my 76 years. This tells a story like I’ve never heard before. Total departure from other artists performing the blues. This connected like no other.
One of my major influences as a guitarist, this was always my favourite track, and the solo at the end is absolutely tear jerking, it just goes to show one of the true legends who could express his emotions and bare his soul through his guitar. There haven't been many who have walked this earth who could do that. Rest in peace Gary.
From one fellow musician to another, you will be greatly missed. Jimi, Stevie now have another great artist to jam with up above. God Bless, my friend.
There are so many hours of hard playing with passion on that poor guitar, that it has suffered just as Gary. They are a perfect match. There is no guitar anymore, it has become the extension of Gary's soul...
I've played guitar since the mid sixties, lived through the Shadows era, Eric Clapton, Peter Green, Jeff Beck, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, the very underrated Andy Latimer, David Gilmour, EVH, Tony Iommi, John McLaughlin, the list is endless. Each one of those guys have been my favourite at some time. BUT, the one guitarist that I keep going back to, the only one that can bring a lump to my throat and a tear to my eye, is the great Gary Moore. He plays from his heart. Sheer genius...
They say a broken heart can always mend. Time is the healer and sadness will end. But I've done so much crying, when will I laugh again? Till that day I will play the blues.
What an extraordinary performance. I've been listening to both the studio recording of this one, as well as watching this on video for years now (actually bought it on DVD). As much as I love every aspect of this song (music, lyrics, and melody), his last voyage up the neck in that last solo stretch takes my breath away. If you don't feel the power/passion coming from his soul during that particular stretch, you might as well as stop listening to music altogether.
bro there is something about that bend... like NO other notes could fit better, like it HAS to be played exactly like this. Like it's one of those rare legendary perfect notes. I'm so fucking high.
13 years without Gary..... I always find myself listening to this song, a clip that I have probably seen more than 500 times, and feeling the same emotion as the first time... You were a genius, and fortunately we still have your music. Thanks Gary.
This is as good as it gets. Gary was on fire, and the solo on this song is the pinnacle of electric blues guitar. Playing to a nearly comatose audience, the solo comes to a climax with such conviction and energy, it leaves me breathless every time I listen to it. If you don't feel it, I feel sorry for you.

Brad Holman ditto brother. GM solo's go to my bones.
Best Gary Moore's song. You got to love this song... if not, you just don't like rock and roll.
Couldn't agree more.
com·a·tose: Of or in a state of deep unconsciousness for a prolonged or indefinite period, especially as a result of severe injury or illness. Lol :) Well put!
As good as it gets sums it up very well. Gary Moore. The very best, imho.
Gary was a master at putting so much emotion into a single one note bend. RIP Sir!
NO ONE had, or will ever have a better tone on a Les Paul than Gary Moore
dfifty2 correct.
Try mark knopfler
@@theonetojump stratocaster
@@willashton5222 Look up Brothers in Arms, or him playing Layla with Eric Clapton.. That tone...
clapton on the beano album
Thank goodness we have video like this to explain to our kids what music is all about. No sexy dancers or light. Just pure raw emotions. Long live music
One of greatest guitar solos of all time!!!
Just about all his songs has "one of the greatest guitar solos". Thats just what he does. Rock on eternally Mr. Gary Moore.
Totally agree. I never tire of hearing this one. The climb up the fretboard toward the end of the solo is utterly perfect and it makes this easily one of the greatest blues guitar solos ever.
The greatest guitar player the world has ever seen.
I think he's the best guitarist all the time
yes
Him and Jimi. I own both their signature guitars!
And Paco de Lucia
There is no best Guitar player. This is not sport, it is art.
Gary is amazing, nothing less and he moves me in ways Petrucci doesn't.
But guess what, it is also the other way around. This goes for many other guitar gods.
They are all artists, each with his own unique signature.
So love the one you love, respect the others.

Imagine knowing you're about to see Gary Moore in such a tight venue, then being there and he plays a set with songs like this... Just amazing.
CPOMendez117 yes. No way anyone would ever forget a minute of that
And the audience sits quiet as church mice. Not even one head bobbing to the beat, not one hand clap. WTF?
Please Gary, come back on Earth. We still want MOORE!!! Come back... See you later...
15 people definitley have no idea what good music sounds like. Rest in Peace Gary!
now 71 ^^
Gone waaaaaay to soon
Gary was the most bold and melodic sounding bluesman who ever lived. You can feel his music, his drive, and his pain. This song is from After Hours, an amazing album.
Oh Shit, It really is!! Im very, very high, and, thks for the call! regards from Brasil!
man that solo.. you can't put more passion in to it. Amazing.
true
true
love and pain
After all the years I’ve been listening to this song I still get chills when I hear it.
One of greatest guitar solos Ever!! Just Killer tone!!!!! Gary loove you forever
He moved on and went over the hills and far away now...The king of the blues. Now he`s walking with the King of Kings. No more Parisienne Walkways no more Friday on your mind no more Gary Moore. You left us out in the fields, in empty rooms drowning in tears.
truely a hero...
thanks gary for everything
rest in peace
Beautiful feelings and sentiment to one I just discovered this morning.
My heart is full and sorry all together.
One of the best blues songs ever written in my opinion.
Uno de los grandes Gary Moore
Damn this man can make a guitar cry a river.
His solos almost make you cry. Absolutely on the Mt Rushmore of Blues guitarists.
No body does it like Gary, the vibrato, the feel and passion, the strength! RIP
he is the king of gituar R.I.P Gary WE miss you
I was a hardcore Metalhead back in the days. Detested everything and everyone that wasn't Metal. And then I heard this man.Everything changed from that day onwards.I still am into Metal but Blues has a special place in my heart

his songs has helped more people going through breakups than he ever knew
Yes Donald, I can imagine that being the case quite easily.......Comforting Food, Medicine even, for any Soul in need has got to be a good thing.
true
Not only his guitar, also his voice
God! what a MASTER! I'm a guitar freak for years and I thought I listened to it all until I found Gary. He tops them ALL. Never seen anyone like him, and will never see.

@@chrisboardman5661 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 so true.
The mics probably don't catch all the noise from the crowd.
There have been some amazing blues artists, but none as soulfull as Gary Moore. I cannot listen to The Story Of The Blues without falling apart. This is what the blues is all about.
Amazing he can get those notes without using his frethand pinky. Amazing tone, execution, passion.
gary only used 3 fingers ron, only his lizzy days or heavier, stuff he used his pinky...
Gary (RIP) had quite large hands and this combined with small scale Gibson Les Paul neck it came more comfortable to use the 3 fingers for fretting
The people who voted a thumbs down for this are obviously Justin Bieber fans......
ronnoten damn right..
🤣🤣 You got it Brother!!!
ronnoten , forgive them for they are retards.
The people who voted this down were all mesmerized by the Super Bowl halftime show yesterday.
Maybe they missed the Concert and they're jealous! :)))
Something about Mores playing makes me cry Everytime.
long time heard it after years ....one of the best blues songs ever. You here the guitar crying. I'm not able to describe it in words.
While my guitar gently weeps.
So good - so sorry I never saw him live - thanks for gracing this planet with your presence. Rip brother we are diminished.
legend!!!!
I can hear you
One of the finest Blues songs ever written. This songs bleeds the blues.
RIP Gary.
Every time I listen to Gary Moore I have to play it again. And again. And again. ok. just once more... again. R.I.P. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Marc Stacey That's me...play it repeatedly when I'm driving...cant get enough and I never get of it!
Same dude!
Same here
+1
And again and again
My baby she left me, my baby she's gone.
My sweet little angel has spread her wings and flown.
Can't think of a reason for going on.
From this day I will play the blues.
She said it was over, this time it's the end.
Bad luck and trouble gonna be my only friend.
I still can't believe it, after all we've been through.
Everyday I will play the blues.
Everybody knows what the blues is all about.
It's a pain you can't live with.
It's a woman you can't live without.
She came from Chicago.
She read me the news.
In the headlines was a story of the blues.
They say a broken heart can always mend.
Time is the healer and sadness will end.

Definitely my favourite Gary's song. I used to play it before sleep and I still do.

Daniel Brunat amen dude . I always come back to this solo to love guitar and music again
RIP, legend. :(
This is the story of the blues.
One of the greatest guitarsolo ever. We love you forever in Sweden. Rest In Peace my friend.
Gary moore ending such a performance with a "thank you" helps you understand how little selfawareness did he have... if i was him, i'd end up with a "you're welcome"
He did even better at the Strat Pack, after one of the greatest guitar performance of all time he thanks, leave the guitar on the floor and goes away
Perfectly said!
Happy 66th Birthday Gary Moore.. the greatest guitarist that ever played. Play your beloved guitar in Heaven. I love you 4 4 18
Grande Gary Moore! Impecável como sempre, melhor que a versão de estúdio.
Most badass solo I have ever heard , but which I work to achieve that level my remaining life
Go back to the most painful moment in your life, then play whatever song you're playing about that pain.
Brad Hollman...this is my first introduction to Gary Moore and he's truly the first one to fill my heart since loosing Alvin Lee...So thankful their music lives on.

Mind Blown! The solo at the end man wow... Best solo ever! Best Guitarist EVER!!!!!!!
No words to describe what I feel when I hear Gary Moore play this song! Thank for uploading...incredible!
He had it all, feeling, phrasing and speed. We'll miss him.
Love your work its ageless, genius.
My abosolute favorite blues song and solo. The most heartfelt solo ever - we don't need any words to understand the message, the guitar transcends and speaks volumes. Just the best!
I think this is my favorite musical performance ever. Gary was the greatest, a master guitarist and an amazing voice.
Epic ! Very bummed when he passed 😞
I’ve listened to a lot of blues in my 76 years.
This tells a story like I’ve never heard before. Total departure from other artists performing the blues.
This connected like no other.
Diese Leidenschaft und dieses Gefühl ist einfach der Hammer. R. I. P. Gary
Absolutely subliminal guitar playing. Sorely missed!
GARY ,,,THE BEST!!!! THE REST ARE JUST TRYING TO BE GREAT,,,,
The man is a GOD. Thank you, Paul.
This is powerful stuff!

There are so many hours of hard playing with passion on that poor guitar, that it has suffered just as Gary. They are a perfect match. There is no guitar anymore, it has become the extension of Gary's soul...
Always inspires me to pick up my guitar and play. Rest in peace master and thanks for all the great tunes.

What can you say . . .
Missed already, so glad that his voice and guitar lives on . . .
Awesome just the best in the world wow he rips the life out of it I love how gary sings through his guitar
we miss you Master of masters!!
Phenomenal!

5:48 Most intense single note I have ever heard
bro there is something about that bend... like NO other notes could fit better, like it HAS to be played exactly like this. Like it's one of those rare legendary perfect notes. I'm so fucking high.
The solo from 3:53 till end is absolutely awesome! So powerful and heart wrenching!
The Holy Grail Gibson in full cry right here in the hands of the master 👏
It amazes me how only a kreten could downvote this. One of the greatest electric live blues solos ever.
My favourite solo of all time. It's just... god, I don't have the words. It brings tears to my eyes.
Can't believe this man has gone.
13 years without Gary..... I always find myself listening to this song, a clip that I have probably seen more than 500 times, and feeling the same emotion as the first time... You were a genius, and fortunately we still have your music. Thanks Gary.
magnifico,,,il mio MITO
Un Dio di Artista....Cantava benissimo e suonava ancora meglio.....Mi manchi tanto Maestro.....Un bacio ovunque tu sia...
God on a Guitar
AWESOME
This guy was great. His guitar skills were better than: Clapton, Beck, Plant and ALL the other greats!
Right, ecxept Jeff Beck, he plays definitive in his own leaque.
Totally agree with you there Frank my man!!!
A legend of a beautiful song it doesn't get any better than this!!! 2021 R I.P.
