No one could ever be, and no one will ever be as talented as Gary Moore ... He played with his very soul... and put it out there for everyone to see. I just wish everyone could appreciate this guy as he was; truly amazing, authentic, original, and an absolute GENIUS - UNDISPUTED.
I've been reading the biography 'White Knuckles' which is a testimony to his absolute dedication to his craft - and how he also had such integrity. Gary was never one for cow-towing to anyone. He knew what he wanted when it came to his music, and wouldn't compromise. A brilliant read.
My Sister and her Boyfriend, God rest em loved Gary I wonder if they went to this concert they were always telling me about this guy who played guitar better than anybody they ever heard it was Gary Moore.we lived pretty close I hope they got to go maybe they are listening to him in some club somwhere else now :)
I have MANY guitar heros... DOZENS that I like and listen to....BUT I ALWAYS come back to Gary....I saw him in 86....88...amd again in 91....and he was ....STUPENDOUS in every way....the vibrato....the note selection....and the roar.....like I said....STUPENDOUS...just so much FIRE behind every note
Ireland... The Best Country in the World. Less than 5 Million of people, full of Art, Musician, Painter, Poetry (James Joyce) etc. like U2, Rory Callagher, Enya, Gary Moore (off course), Coors, Cranberries (R.I.P. Dolores O'Riordan) and many more. Proud to live there from the past 24 years. GOD Bless Ireland & the Irish !!! Love from Italy 💚🤍❤😇 Amen *
I love Malmsteen, Paul Gilbert, Jason Becker, and many other guitar virtuosos, but Gary had that "touch" that's unique and only he can play. He is really missed.
Probably the most beautiful Gary Moore solo ever recorded....so full of surprises and emotion....so many other guitarists' solos can leave you feel it could have been better if they added another bit or taken part of it away, or added a better riff that rattles round your head whilst a solo is playing......Gary's playing takes The listener in directions and chords and solos and everything else in directions that we could never think of!!! Serious total fucking eargasm from start to finish!!! We will never hear anything like that again from anyone ever!!! Massive respect Gary you are jamming in heaven :)
None of my friends knew that guys. After hearing this song, they were very glad and started to buy his albums. That was back in the '80s. I still got the blues for Moore !
This was a warm-up to the Live in Stockholm version that’s blows my mind every time I listen to it. Gary Moore - the best guitar player to have ever lived. Gary, you’re so very missed, my friend. You don’t even know what your music has done for my and millions of others’ lives. Thank you, Gary.
@@alfrednoakes8113 Thank you for that information. I think the Stockholm version is the definitive and by far the best version of this song. By I love anything Gary.
I was at this very concert on 9/1/1987, remember this track like it was yesterday. Gary Moore had a tremendous talent to make the guitar speak. This is a great example of it.
I remember this night like it was yesterday....he played with more feeling and emotion than anyone ....an amazing guitarist and from friends who have met him a great and humble person....he is gone way too soon....
FROM 15.14 and forward, i get chills down my spine, blood rushing of exitement, I close my Eyes and i see Gary live playing this song, I feel humble, this tune makes me alive and proud!!! RIP Gary!!!!!
Damn! Those custom Charvel San Dimas in Gary's hands surely SPOKE THE TRUTH! From Gary's heart to God's ears. And thank the Lord that tape was rolling this night.
Gary Moore's guitar playing style, and sound, should be mandatory in every music school for the students to learn. Also, I will add Rory Gallagher's music too. Both guys were guitar masters that left us too soon.
I was at this show. Unreal to find it after 25 years!!!!! Thanks for uploading. There will never be anyone that plays with the skill and emotion that GM had.
Gary Moore was the one person I ever heard who could truly copy Hendrix, and that was just the tip of his talent iceberg. Look up the videos of him playing with Mitch Mitchell, and Billy Cox on bass, and vocals. As if that's not enough, a young Gary first borrowing, then buying Peter Green's Les Paul on which Peter played the old Fleetwood Mac songs. that's nothing short of magical. Rest in Peace Gary.
As far as copying Hendrix down to every little nuance, I think Frank Marino was the king for that (also a monster of a guitar player). And in case I'm not being clear, I'm not calling him a Hendrix knock off or any of that stupid crap, I'm just saying he really studied and understood Hendrix. If you can't tell from his playing, if you play some interviews like the 4 hour one he did with Wings of Pegasus on YT he knowledge drops some little Hendrix nuances that most guitarists never thought about.
Def the longest version of ever heard.. Gary was an in the zone type of player.. Had the pleasure of seeing him a few times when he toured the states Terribly missed.. Rest In Peace & Thank you for this amazing music we can all listen to 4 evermore
I was there with two friends and will never forget this show. It was shortly after Phil Lynott passed in and you could see the emotion as he played Military Man
i was at this show....what an amazing guitar player....he had the place mesmerized....it was a wbcn radio concert played on the airwaves that night...wbcn used to do lots of shows like this....check out ac/dc paradise theatre boston....for $1.04....lol....
Fico sem palavras ao ouvir Gary Moore. Há uma lista imensa de guitarristas esplêndidos, mas a emoção que ele me despertou ao ouvi-lo a primeira vez em 1986 ainda é a mesma. Para mim e muitos ele é o melhor de todos os tempos.
I wish he had stayed in Boston to live and play. He would have been appreciated, and he could have easily come to NYC and played all the clubs, become really famous, AND made lots of money 💰. I think his life would have been better and happier as long as he controlled the temptations of the high life.
I'm a big Steve Hackett fan. You can hear echoes of Moore and his melodic blues in Hackett's non-acoustic stuff, from _Blues with a Feeling_ onward: "Tombstone Roller", "Twice Around the Sun" and even "These Golden Wings". Hackett played "Spectral Mornings" on Moore's old Fernandez guitar and dedicated it to him, in concert last year. A great moment.
Great to hear this live version after so many years! I was at he previous night's show in Providence, RI. I took some photos and still have one of Gary's guitar picks from the show.
Definitely a great version, but I think the Stockholm version of April 25th that year is the best version of The Loner. Anyway it's far too sad that we will never hear this song or any other song from him live again. That's what I will eternally miss, see this greatest guitarist live again!!! RIP Gary!!!!
I worked the Orphium in boston damn didnt know he was there thenn my loss one guy I never saw live one of my favorites left boston in oct 88 one of the best music towns ever WBCN 360 degrees of rock and roll
Where in Boston was this? Don't tell me it was the Garden, backing up Def Leppard. Please don't, cos when I saw Leppard I missed the first band and I'm thinking it was Gary Moore. I also know they fired him from the tour.

In 2024 february, he is still the best guitarist in the world, no one els can do this what his done....HE IS JUST THE BEST!!!!!!!

Why are you talking solos? It`s an instrumentel.
@@philfrank9226He still does improvisation outside of how the song usualy goes, its still counted as a solo
Anyone else spent 45mins - yep, I've gone on loop - listening to the most phenomenal guitar playing
what is this?? is he even a human??
i listen to many bands and guitarists but this man is the only one who gives me goosebumps through the whole song
his playing lyrics second to none put on one of his tunes you know it 2nd riff in guy was amazing
and yes i listen and still get those shivers today
listen to the hammersmith odeon version. its un fucking real. you will catch a buzz from it. thank me later.
definitely he is second to none!
i saw that one too dude!! it is hilarious ! as always for sure
Dude was an absolute powerhouse on the guitar. Gary blows them all out of the water, no competition. Greatest guitar player that ever lived.
A master of dynamics. And my favorite guitar player of all time.
This is a PHENOMENAL version. One of my favourite instrumentals - and this is out of this world. Thanks for posting.

@@alfrednoakes8113 Thank you for that information. I think the Stockholm version is the definitive and by far the best version of this song. By I love anything Gary.
I saw Gary in stockholm and that vas amazing , but it alwayes nice to hear a new version , in my option it vill never come guitare player like this
@@alfrednoakes8113 Thank you for the info. I was really being sort of facetious. But anything by Gary is a treasure.

Son of a gun.. I miss Gary like he had been my best friend... So grateful he left so much passionate music for us...
I remember this night like it was yesterday....he played with more feeling and emotion than anyone ....an amazing guitarist and from friends who have met him a great and humble person....he is gone way too soon....
Always did!
Oh my God...goosebumps!! I love you so much Gary ❤
Wowwww exceptionnel guitar solo and voice.He hiis the one !! R .i .P.
FROM 15.14 and forward, i get chills down my spine, blood rushing of exitement, I close my Eyes and i see Gary live playing this song, I feel humble, this tune makes me alive and proud!!! RIP Gary!!!!!
Nice one
One of the greatest performance ever...strongly emotional!!!
A free flowing stream of guitar consciousness. This song bleeds pain & emotion.
rocknrollfreak couldn't agree more....the most expressive guitarist EVER! check out his 1987 Stockholm version.....
Sublime!
Súper versión!!! Impredionante Gary!!!
This is playing with emotion.
Damn! Those custom Charvel San Dimas in Gary's hands surely SPOKE THE TRUTH! From Gary's heart to God's ears. And thank the Lord that tape was rolling this night.
Love it. He was just class on guitar. Lightning in a bottle here!
Gary Moore's guitar playing style, and sound, should be mandatory in every music school for the students to learn. Also, I will add Rory Gallagher's music too. Both guys were guitar masters that left us too soon.
Never forget his master, Peter Green whose other disciple is none other than Snowy White
I was at this show. Unreal to find it after 25 years!!!!! Thanks for uploading. There will never be anyone that plays with the skill and emotion that GM had.
I like this version most. I think this version was the most emotional of his Loner. The bass sound was also phenomenal. A truly classic
Gary Moore was the one person I ever heard who could truly copy Hendrix, and that was just the tip of his talent iceberg. Look up the videos of him playing with Mitch Mitchell, and Billy Cox on bass, and vocals.

Rest in Peace Gary.
I suppose I understand what you're trying to say, but Gary Moore and Jimi Hendrix play nothing alike.
As far as copying Hendrix down to every little nuance, I think Frank Marino was the king for that (also a monster of a guitar player). And in case I'm not being clear, I'm not calling him a Hendrix knock off or any of that stupid crap, I'm just saying he really studied and understood Hendrix.

THE GREATEST ELECTRIC GUITARIST EVER !!! I WILL NEVER FORGET THE FIRST TIME I SAW HIM LIVE !!!
Def the longest version of ever heard..
Gary was an in the zone type of player..
Had the pleasure of seeing him a few times when he toured the states
Terribly missed..
Rest In Peace

Thank you for this amazing music we can all listen to 4 evermore
Brilliant improvising on the solo parts. Only Gary can do it.
I was there with two friends and will never forget this show. It was shortly after Phil Lynott passed in and you could see the emotion as he played Military Man
Incredible guitarplaying! Geeses what a master of the guitar!
I was here as well, right up front.. Great show..

Boston loved him ❤️ the city is full of Irish citizen's and it's known as a hub of intellectuals and artists of all kind. So rhey know what's great.
I wish he had stayed in Boston to live and play. He would have been appreciated, and he could have easily come to NYC and played all the clubs, become really famous, AND made lots of money 💰. I think his life would have been better and happier as long as he controlled the temptations of the high life.
So good god wanted him back.
Absolutely incredible how Gary almost makes his guitar talk! from 15.41 and forward oo my oo my oooo myyyy Gary!
The best! RIP
man this guitar flow touches my soul thank god for good things people do and there talents you never know who it helps
Best comment of the decade. Agreed.

This song is soooooo complex. Ins and outs. Flying so high. Digging sooooo low. Thanks Gary. When I need reality. You were there.
oh my god, this is the best thing I've ever heard
By far!!!!!!!!! No one..... No one will ever come close !!!
👍
Every time I hear something incredible by Gary, another song comes on TH-cam and tops the last one. Ain't nothing topping this. My Gawd!
Great to hear this live version after so many years! I was at he previous night's show in Providence, RI. I took some photos and still have one of Gary's guitar picks from the show.

props to the guy in the audience who keeps yelling "fuck yeah'!
If there was a decathlon for quitarists--he was its poster boy. He WAS a master of many genres.
i love the version from sweden as well as the hammersmith odeon version which was the first i heard live. this is new to me.
My first time listening to this version as well, and I too love the hammersmith odeon version! Sometimes I play it more than once...twice...lol
Amazing.. So much feel in there man.
