Back in '91 I was in the US Army and was in TX. I was young and as a "sometimes" drummer and musician went to a bar in Austin to see Ian Moore because we were told he was amazing. He came out with "Nothing" and then went to "Harlem". I didn't own the CD at the time so I didn't know the songs. I was blown away and pissed at the same time. I was like; "wait, dude can sing, play the guitar like nobodies business AND he's good looking . . . HELL NO! You don't get all that . . . !!!" I wanted to dislike this dude but he was so damn good! Today, at 53 with my mother gone from this earth this song and his passionate delivery means so much more to me and I wish we had more music like this. Damn . . . I miss cats like this and what they could deliver. God Bless you Mr. Moore and thank you.
I live in Corpus Christi TX, and Ian came down from Austin to do a free outdoor concert at our Cole Park Amptheater by the bayfront. He played this song, and people were literally going apeshit, man what a sultry voice this guy had. For those of you who appreciate great music like this and never heard of him-get his self titled album. It is probably one of my all time favorite albums from any artist
***** Well I wouldn't say that. Ian was getting recognition about the the time "muddy jesus" came out- I remember they had him doing TV commercials with lightning bolts shooting from his guitar. But what i heard it was too much for him. Nonstop touring, press conferences, interviews galore, fans and autographs. I read that it was getting to him so he decided it wasn't his cup a tea that is when he moved from Austin to Seattle. He still lives and plays there, but it's low key
Ian Moore, band rock he, they bring it🎸I was lucky to be living in Austin in 1995-2000. Saw Ian Moore many times in Austin, now in Okc have seen his acoustic concert, his electric set. 2 shows pretty close together, both were awaome, my favorite shows of 2024. Go See Ian Moore. He, his band rock, big time. You will not be disappointed. They bring it🎸🎸Go see them🎸🎸
I was at this show and miss this version of Ian like you can't know. Saw him probably 30 times in the late 80's and early 90's and was one of my favorite musicians then.
He sure was something at de la Luna. Growing up in austin I count myself lucky to have had all these musicians so close to the community. Really was a source of pride for many years😊
I was a die-hard grunger from in Seattle in the early 90's boom but I saw this era of Ian while I visiting a friend in Austin - absolutely blew me away. Still one of my favorite bands from the 90's. Miss it.
I got his self-titled album back in 1993. KTYD (Santa Barbara) played "How Does It Feel" a lot that summer and I remember that he was playing somewhere in Ventura. A friend of mine and I drove from Santa Barbara to go hear him play, not realizing it was at a bar (there were no websites back then!!). I was 19 and he was 20, so we couldn't get in to hear him play. So, we drove the 50 miles back home empty-handed, so to speak. It was a huge bummer. Never did get to hear him play live, but I'm glad some of his performances are here to enjoy.
Man we miss Ian in Austin. Saw him many times and he was brilliant every time. Wish he would come home....last I heard, he went fishing in Washington state and never returned.
I saw Ian many years ago in the middle of winter at The Ranch Bowl in Omaha NE with a broken leg. It was the first and last time I saw him live. It made me go out the next day and buy all of his albums. No other artist has moved me to do so before or since. He is able to project such a wealth of "feel" that will touch your soul in such a way you will be hard-set to find again. Rock on Ian
One of my personal ALL TIME FAVORITE performances!! Period. "This" Ian Moore was the genuine article, folks!! I would put his guitar playing and singing and all around BAD ASSness up against anybody!! Thanks so much for posting this. I have almost wore out my VHS copy of this concert over the years!!
I have opened up for Ian recently and he plays now as a trio known as the Lossy Coils and does a lot of new and old stuff. But he is also playing with his original line up you see in thus video. He did a summer tour last year with about 8-10 dates it was awesome. The original line up just played recently blues fest with Jimmy Vaighan and Robert Cray. Original line up will be at Ziegfest in Corpus Christi, TX on Oct. 6, 2012. They are playing a lot together. He's also the nicest person to talk to
Saw him at a little club in San Antonio back in 94. He said they were going to blow the roof off the place and he didn't disappoint. Crazy talent. I kinda feel bad that I'm still listening to his debut album at least once a week in 2018 but it's just that damn good.
I remember those days well! Ian has his on sound then and now. Know where in the world have i heard or mixed his sound up with another musician, the reason why is because he is a artist.
Miss all the local music Austin had on the air day to day miss it like crazy hear in Newton Ks nothing like it its all big business up hear on the radio
Ian and the original band will be doing 6 shows next month in Texas and Oklahoma, focusing on the 1st 2 records. For those of you that miss this phase, this is the time. dates posted @ ianmoore.com
Haven't been out of Texas in about twenty years. Too damn much to see and hear here, and not enough time! I'm glad that my boys Chris Duarte and Hadden Sayers get to travel and entertain at different venues and for great fans, though. Wish it was like it used to be before gas prices got stupid...
@Musicdog1973 - Agree 1000% , there was magic in their live performances. It was special to see them live. Going to see the original Ian Moore Band live in Dallas in a couple weeks on their reunion tour.
I heard the story of Ian Moore telling SRV one time in Austin in the late 80's that everyone was saying that he reminded people of SRV. SRV's response was you just keep trying.
You heard wrong. Neither of those guys would say that. Ian was just one of the guys around town. Stevie too for a minute, until he really blew up. Then he wasn't around so much. Both of those guys were humble as they come. Ian eventually moved up to Seattle so he was gone too.
i have to add that any missed festival he played, esp in the pouring rain, are times missed out. i have no recollection of how many times i saw him play, but i do know it wasn't enough.
You rarely see Ian play a Strat with a Strat neck…he’s the reason I’ve built a couple of Strats with Tele necks ..I love that combo because I’ve always liked a Tele neck but didn’t care for the sound..
He was so awesome back then before he thought it would be a good idea and completely change his sound and playing….no it was not a good idea 👎🏼👎🏼 which is why he is back to playing the old stuff along with some great new songs…👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Saw him at Trees in Deep Ellum back when he was performing like this and man, that was one of the best shows I have ever seen! Saw Kenny Wayne Sheppard the same night and Ian put on a way better show.
I got to open up for Ian, cool dude. His voice is amazing. Modern-day Folklore is killer. What happened to him I dont know, it seems hes trying to hard to be a folk singer/songwriter.
Only 19K + views and crappy bands today get millions... I guess that's fortunate, though, because some "musicians" (term used loosely..) today can't carry a freaking tune live anyway.
Thank you, Ian Moore 4 the most soul ripping/touching songs in every universe... you are more than eternally appreciated! Your brother, -E

Love this song. And Blue clear skies. 😊
Strange as it was...I lost my dad, but loved the heck out of your music.... Thank you×
Back in the day the Ian Moore band, along with Jerry Jeff Walker were the closing acts for Houston,Tx “International Festival,
Ian is a beast. I've been a fan since 1999, the year I discovered him!🤘
Has written some beautiful songs, was lucky to see him in person - great vibes
He sure was something at de la Luna. Growing up in austin I count myself lucky to have had all these musicians so close to the community. Really was a source of pride for many years😊

IAN MOORE AND JONNIE LANG, ARE PROOF THAT GOD EXISTS AND HE GIVES THESE PEOPLE TO US AS A REMINDER! WOW!!
Absolutely correct....underated and understated
How is this man not way more famous?
because he started playing really bad yuppie starbucks coffee music
Man we miss Ian in Austin. Saw him many times and he was brilliant every time. Wish he would come home....last I heard, he went fishing in Washington state and never returned.

WOW. I miss Bukka, Chris and Michael! :( I own this concert. Fabulous.
One of my personal ALL TIME FAVORITE performances!! Period. "This" Ian Moore was the genuine article, folks!! I would put his guitar playing and singing and all around BAD ASSness up against anybody!! Thanks so much for posting this. I have almost wore out my VHS copy of this concert over the years!!
You are my forever favorite Texas guitarist!❤
I remember seeing ian with this band line up quite a few times...they were so magical live...if only they would do a reunion show :)
Awesome. Love Ian Moore, met him in Springfield, Missouri!!! Great guy with a huge gift!!!!!
to see this stuff live ..then no other words need be spoken...your Soul speaks
I saw him several times in Dallas and Ft Worth in the early days he was amazing, love this song!
This song feels good to my soul!
It doesn't get more talented or sexy than this. One of the best then, one of the best now! DAMN.
I haven't heard this in Years...Thanks for the upload! ~Peace~
Just discovered this guy not 10 min. ago. Instantly leaps to the head of my already well-populated 'favorite guitarist/performer' list...
+William Moser Richie Kotzen is another you might check out.

Saw him years ago on TV with Katie Couric singing satisfied he's completely underrated he's a great guitarist singer and songwriter.
All the times I went to Antones and never saw Ian Moore live. I missed out.
He is so good. An American songwriter, gone out west...
Saw him in Pt. Lavaca in a tent on a rainy spring night. Was standin 3 ft. in front of him,,,,,,Awsome sound,,,,,,,,Awsome guitarist and singer!
God gave this man a gift like no other. I wonder what happened to him to quit sharing it with people?
I just out about the reunion shows and all I can say is I hope the come through louisiana. Ya fellas enjoy. Peace.

in the key of G for GOD....
Going to see IAN in Waco, TX @ CINEMA Lounge THIS THURS, March 6th, 2014!!!
Gonna be great to see him again & local!!!!
@ianlmoore68 i saw them in Lubbock in 92. Living in Florida now. Would love to revisit that phase of his career.
Miss all the local music Austin had on the air day to day miss it like crazy hear in Newton Ks nothing like it its all big business up hear on the radio
Ian and the original band will be doing 6 shows next month in Texas and Oklahoma, focusing on the 1st 2 records. For those of you that miss this phase, this is the time. dates posted @ ianmoore.com
Like Chris Duarte, Hadden Sayers, and Tracy Conover, TRUE musical talent! SCREW mainstream radio and what passes for "Grammy-winning performances"!
Haven't been out of Texas in about twenty years. Too damn much to see and hear here, and not enough time! I'm glad that my boys Chris Duarte and Hadden Sayers get to travel and entertain at different venues and for great fans, though. Wish it was like it used to be before gas prices got stupid...

I wish I owned this version. Wow!
Chills.....Thank you for this
This guy is the man! Unfortunately, had he been left handed, he would have been much more respected.....

Humble yes. And a very nice guy.
What a beast!
Awesome guitar/vocal solo!!!! DAMNNNNN
Hey, Ian- already a tune by that name.
Would love to get a copy of The Morning Song from this Performance. Epic tune.
i have to add that any missed festival he played, esp in the pouring rain, are times missed out. i have no recollection of how many times i saw him play, but i do know it wasn't enough.
Come do a concert in the Car Forest!
Awesome!!
Yes, its from the bootleg VHS tape! Dang, that was a time a go! Miss this!!!
To miss the old stuff is one thing, to tell him to go BACK another. Sorry man - what did you expect? Respect somebody that stays true to his vision
Wish someone would post the Morning Song from this show
Is this available anywhere? So F'n good.
You rarely see Ian play a Strat with a Strat neck…he’s the reason I’ve built a couple of Strats with Tele necks ..I love that combo because I’ve always liked a Tele neck but didn’t care for the sound..
nice guitar performance casino type
He was so awesome back then before he thought it would be a good idea and completely change his sound and playing….no it was not a good idea 👎🏼👎🏼 which is why he is back to playing the old stuff along with some great new songs…👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Makes me miss Austin when I listen to him sing!
love
Mediblue9 I was thinking the same thing.
Omg your right he does look like Tommy Bolin
Thanx Ian!
Do you have the no woman no cry video from this show?
Can ANYBODY advise where and when this was recorded. My guess is 1994 but where?
Saw him at Trees in Deep Ellum back when he was performing like this and man, that was one of the best shows I have ever seen! Saw Kenny Wayne Sheppard the same night and Ian put on a way better show.
Can anybody upload this where the audio is louder?
Have mercy..
for the victims in Austin God Bless
I got to open up for Ian, cool dude. His voice is amazing. Modern-day Folklore is killer. What happened to him I dont know, it seems hes trying to hard to be a folk singer/songwriter.
What tape is this from?
@WhoahThat I have this on VCR but can't find anyone to convert it bc of copyright issues.
Only 19K + views and crappy bands today get millions... I guess that's fortunate, though, because some "musicians" (term used loosely..) today can't carry a freaking tune live anyway.
god dammit!!!
KWS TAKE NOTE. ; )
His bassist kinda looks like Tommy Bolin
Fuckin sings like a angel and shreds the guitar 😮😅
