Masterpiece? Nah, there is absolutely no word to describe that performance! I've been playing for 17 years and I've seen that performance a million times and literally still get chills
Yes, Anthony - I consider Gary Moore the finest guitar player that ever lived and this recording of THE MESSIAH WILL COME AGAIN is the greatest guitar performance ever recorded. IMHO. I've been a musician since 1963 and I've heard some of the all-time greats live including Jimi Hendrix, BB Kind, Jeff Beck and many, many more.
This is a work of genius. Let's make no bones about it. Gary was such an incredible master of his instrument, and he's sorely missed. Thank God, he left us all with an amazing legacy, but tragically, died way too soon, as seems so common in the world of music. 💔 🙋♂
Immense cette mélodie c'est transperçant, en le réécoutant il est, à mes yeux, vraiment le plus grand de tous.Emotion..On est KO debout. Tout comme le concert de Montreux sur ce final: The messiah will come again qui dure 20mn de guitare solo et on ne voudrait pas que cela s'arrête..! Pourtant j'en ai écouté des très grands: des solos de G. Benson, Ritchie Blackmore, David Gilour, M. Knowflers, Carlos Santana, Chuck Berry, BB King, etc.. mais comme lui jamais entendu .!.Dans le style celui qui se rapproche c'est peut être Santana par son style et la patine des effets guitare en distortion, son crémeux, chaud . Mais Gary Moore waouh.. En outre de son jeu de guitare fou Il fait vivre, en chantant, comme un cri déchirant qui vous tranperce, sur du velour. On ne voudrai pas que cela s'arrête. Une drogue qui rend fou dans le bon sens. Un artiste très très grand qui marquera les deux siècles.
He was in Thin Lizzy a few times over the years but felt they weren’t serious & straight enough But remained good friends The live version of “The Messiah will come Again “ is very good
You now also need to check out another great Irish guitarist and contemporary of Gary Moore (but a few years older), the amazing Rory Gallagher. Rory is yet another who passed at a relatively young age.
Gary was one of the best, fast or slow always full of soul.. his 10 sec boosts fits perfectly he could play any genre you should see the messiah will come again live at montreaux, parisienne walkways live from royal albert hall 92 or the loner live from sweden 87..
Sadly Gary Moore passed away in 2011 😢 His song Midnight Blues is such a great slow blues that they were called Gary Moore and the Midnight Blues band 🎸
His tour de force is live "The messiah will come again". Pure talent utilised to the maximum. The best IMHO for feeling and commitment to the music. Until you've heard it you still don't know how good he really was.
Gary Moore is one of my favourite guitarists and I saw him several times both in his hard rock and blues days. One of the best videos is this one from his 1992 London show of Separate Ways th-cam.com/video/aW9hCIiZ-gE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=hJnCr010qAK8DoVc . I prefer this version because it has an instrumental lead-in that demonstrates his astonishing feel and chops, then, the song proper has an extended solo in the intro which is also amazing. He doesn't start singing until over 7 minutes into the video. This is partly the advantage of live performance when he, occasionally, was given to improvise, and does so brilliantly. Gary Moore was around for a long time, starting in the late 1960s with an Irish band called Skid Row (not to be confused with 1980's US act of the same name). They were influenced by the British blues-rock explosion - John Mayall, Eric Clapton, The Yardbirds etc. In the 1970s, he played in various bands and with different artists including an on/off association with Thin Lizzy - he and Phil Lynott were good friends. He played on studio sessions when Brian Robertson was kicked out, played lead alongside Scott Gorham on the excellent Black Rose album, then left the band part way through a US tour. He had various goes at leading his own band with G-Force in the late 70s and the release of an album called Back on The Streets in 1978, showcasing various styles (heavy rock, blues rock and jazz fusion) that demonstrated the variety of styles he'd deployed with other artists during the decade, alongside a range of associated players and session musicians. For an example of his versatility, he played on a couple of albums with fusion band, Colosseum II, demonstrating that although not as 'trained' a musician as some in that band, his extraordinary ear and frighteningly accomplished self-taught technique enabled him to play fast, technically difficult unison lines, along with the keyboards, over complex time signatures. His solo career proper began with 1982's Corridors of Power, showcasing his chops as a virtuoso and the considerable interest in heavy rock and metal at the time (inspired by the New Wave of British Heavy Metal and the success that some of those bands such as Def Leppard and Iron Maiden were having in the US). A string of solo heavy rock albums followed of varying quality (but always with great playing) until he returned to his musical roots with the Still Got the Blues album. This led to considerable success, as he tapped into a market for whom the 'heavy rock' Gary would have been a bit much. He himself admitted at the time that he had begun to feel a little ridiculous wearing spandex and trying to be the virtuoso sensation. Anyway, a great player who died too young. He has directly inspired a range of great guitarists. You can see his influence in the playing of John Sykes (Thin Lizzy, Whitesnake, Blue Murder), Vivian Campbell (Dio, Def Leppard), John Norum (Europe), and Tommy Johansson is a huge fan, having performed various Moore covers on his TH-cam channel, including one performed with one of Gary Moore's guitars (a PRS he used in the 1980s). This performance of Hendrix's version of Red House, performed at a concert celebrating Fender's 50th anniversary, is also amazing: th-cam.com/video/pvu7Y91xUKM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=iqQYM4OT5rSTk1rI
@@BlueBarchetta67 You are very lucky and I am very envious as I had every chance to see him in my Concert era(1971 aged 17 onwards) but I did not know about Gary or Rory Gallagher, for that matter:)

@@BlueBarchetta67 I know the feeling. Led Zep 1973 at Empire Pool, Wembley, North London. I was 18 and lived in S E London and my team lost on that Saturday at home. It was pouring down and I never drove then. Then the local Fishmonger, accidentally, threw his boiling "slops" over my legs and I never went and never did see them. Cost 75 PENCE to add to Pink Floyd DSOTM at Earls Court which cost £1 and both Deep Purple and the next week Creedence Clearwater Revival both in "The Gods" which both were 25 PENCE so 4 Woyld Class Groups in 4 prestigious London venues and total cost....£2.25 Happy Days😀
Gary was the player that world class players watched in awe. Whether he was wailing the blues, shredding a riff or improvising a jazz solo, everyone would stop and listen. He was a true master of the craft.
Thank you so much for this reaction. 👍🏻 Gary Moore was in a few bands before his solo career. Thin Lizzy for example. He started with Rock and changed later to Blues. ‚Over The Hills And Far Away‘ is from him originally. Nightwish did a cover of the song as you know. And a few days ago you reacted to Tarja and Floor performing it together. He is just a guitar legend.
Gary’s 1982 album Corridors Of Power and 1984 album Victims Of The Future are excellent. He also played on Greg Lake’s 1981 self titled solo album and Greg’s 1983 album Manoeuvres which are also excellent.
im a 35yo born in england, my dad used to listen to Gary Moore and Carlos Santana while i was growing up, so for me those are the two that i love the most, even to this day! thank you for reacting to this video! and thank you to whoever put you onto Gary Moore, his epic solos will live on
My favourite Gary Moore tracks are Empty Rooms and The Loner. He did some cracking guitar work with Thin Lizzy in the late 70s too. Try "Toughest Street in town" and the title track from Black Rose for size.
His ability to create a time that matches his passion, literally making the guitar cry, is epic. Beautiful classical soft scales, with all out shredding, pure ecstasy. And this is LIVE.!
This song was popular on the radio (at least here in Europe) and I've loved it for many years, but never knew who Gary Moore is. I first heard his name thanks to Nightwish cover of Over the Hills and Far Away, but it was Tommy Johansson and his love for Gary's music that really sparked my interest for this legend. Imagine my surprise when I realized that one of my favourite songs is in fact Gary's song. Gary had a lot of amazing songs, but this remains my favourite
excellent and insightful comments. A beautiful piece of music. His guitar used to belong to Pete Green, the guitarist of Fleetwood Mac, and that's a sad story all on its own.
The studio version of Empty Rooms is my absolute fav, but he has no bad songs. Any song is a banger! Edit: Blood of Emeralds is a heavy metal classic as well. Parisienne Walkways is a song in the same feel as Still Got the Blues that was my intro to him back in the early 90’s.
Garry Moore had the ability to mimic any pitch or note he heard on stage. The best example of this is a call and response with BB King where he literally blew BB King away! th-cam.com/users/shortsWenmlY7Wiqw?si=QmSdRCDbfb7gPE_o
1 to watch is over the hills live, Gary was Irish this is very celtic themed, such a beautiful song, he was also in thin lizzy a couple of times so another brill song is out in the fields, just amazing my fav guitarist.❤🎉 R.I.P. Gary so sadly missed 😢😢
Great review. Thank you. You will already know some of his work as, Over the Hills and Far Away, covered by both Nightwish and Tarja and one of their fans favourites, is his song. He has a number of songs based on Irish folk melodies in his Collection. The most epic of which is Black Rose which was originally performed by Thin Lizzy, when he was in the band, but also performed by Gary in his solo career. There is a great live version of it in his tribute to Phil Lynott concert in Dublin. I was inspired to take up playing the guitar by an equally great guitarist , Michael Schenker, but it is Gary’s guitaring that I try to play more than any other artist now. Where he excels is not in what he plays but how he plays it, the immense feeling he puts in and generates. I am not ashamed to say that, like Tarja with her music, he has brought me to tears with his music too many times to remember, even though I have heard his songs so many times. To me, when music has the power to create such emotional feelings in me, it is what truly great music is about. Certainly one of the GOAT guitarists if not the GOAT. All the recommendations made by others are well worth trying out to see just how great he was. Thank you again and keep up the great reviews.
The guitar Gary is playing here (and in The Messiah Comes Again) is his Gibson Les Paul Standard called 'Greeny' named after it's original owner Peter Green. Gary bought 'Greeny' in the early 1970's and played it for 30 years. 'Greeny' has a unique sound and continues in the hands of another master guitarist Kirk Hammett of Metallica. Kirk describes the 'Greeny' history and how he obtained it in this interview: th-cam.com/video/j4bOnN8KoXg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=0u36qD3zfPpXsJ6n
I like you guys and have Subscrined from South East London and I bought my first records in 1960.:)Sadly, in my Concert era in London, from 1971 age 17 onwards, I did not know about Gary or Rory Gallagher, for that matter:) which was my great loss.I understand it is a Reaction Channel and, sometimes, you have to pause through Copyright but I, but I always, listen to the Reactor at the beginning and end but this is so seamless that I did skip over your mid-song 2 pauses but they were in, exactly, the right places and Thanks for respecting the Solo. A strong recommendation is "Gary Moore-PARISIENNE WALKWAYS @ Montreux " and you MUST get the version from the very start as he tunes up, briefly😀Good Luck..
Do watch Gary with Ohil Lynott on the Old Grey Whistle Test from 1978 playing Don't Believe a Word, Gary breaks a string early on but carries on playing brilliantly as if nothing has happened!
Gary was a large part of the final version of Thin Lizzy before going solo. He was a phenomenal guitar player and vocalist, SPECIALIZING in Blues/rock. "Blues for Narada", "Texas Blues", "Story of the blues" all great songs
Gary Moore é um dos maiores guitarristas que pisou nessa terra, agora se vocês querem alcançar o auge da capacidade de Gary Moore vejam a música The 'Messiah will come again' ao vivo neste mesmo Festival de Jazz de Montreux
I'm old okay, and "Still Got the Blues" is my all time #1 song. I watched SO MANY reaction vids on YT and YOURS IS BY FAR THE BEST. Thank you guys for appreciating all the details of this classic song, of Gary Moore, his voice & guitar playing. You did a wonderful review! 🎸🎸🎸
Since you love the blues, another rabbit hole you MUST go down is Stevie Ray Vaughan! His best and some would say the best blues guitar playing EVER caught on video is his version of Texas Flood live at ElMocambo. Gary IS great but you are not ready for this!
For me Gary is like Gilmour, SRV and nowadays Miyako. Can shred, but kill you with one note and send you to heaven with 3 notes. They play so naturally and with emotion, the 🎸 is not an instrument but a piece of their body. For me his Opus Dei is Parisienne Walkways. One of the 10 ten guitar solos of all time, what you just did hear is just a warming up…….. m.th-cam.com/video/vkUpfw4Hf3w/w-d-xo.html If your a guitar lover it’s more then a must………
There are a lot of different versions of this song I'm fixing to mention. But if you want to hear some of his best guitar work look up" Parisian walkways with solo and improvs"😮
Congratulations my friends on discovering the greatest guitarist that ever walked on this earth! This video was actually recorded at The Hammersmith Odeon in London. I was lucky enough to be there. I saw Gary more times than I can honestly remember. He played Rock, Blues, Jazz-Fusion and even Neo-classical. He could play any style he wanted to. Yes there are and were many great guitarists but Gary just had that something very special above the rest. Please react to The Messiah Will Come Again Live. Here is the link: th-cam.com/video/7k07j7LcLqw/w-d-xo.html You will see probably the best guitar playing ever. I promise that you will not be disappointed. No vocals in this one...believe me the guitar does the singing. Look forward to seeing what you think and kindest regards to you both. 😊😎🎸🇬🇧🇺🇦
Gary Moore was known for making pained expressions while playing the guitar. He died before his 60s on February 6, 2011 at the age of 58 due to heart failure. Not a good reason to die so young. Gary wasn't the friendly guy you'd think, either. He was rather bad-tempered, quickly dissatisfied with himself, with his guitar playing, even if others would tell him he was a good player; he didn't want to hear any of that. By the way: Happy New Year!
The only blues guitarist I would rank ahead of Gary Moore is STEVIE RAY VAUGHN!🔥 Check out the Stevie Ray video for "Texas Flood" live from the El Mocambo.💥 You'll see what I'm talkin' about.🤗❤️✌️

Gary's "The Messiah Will Come Again" live is a masterpiece
Agreed. A Master Class in how to evoke emotion w/o saying a single word.
Yes, do this. Great reaction

Garry's best rock is in his hard rock era. . murder in the skies, victims of the future, hold on to love, hiroshima, out in the fields.
He made that thing cry!!! Definetly cant help but get a lil teary eyed every time I hear that 2nd solo 🙄😂 dope reaction 🔥🤘🏾

Good catch, you can see every note on Gary's face.
Another Blues Rock player/singer I would Recommend is Chris Rea. His Road to Hell is a classic
Hi guys, great reaction! You should really check out Story Of The Blues live by Gary. Phenomenal solo 🙌🙌🙌
Another under rated guitarist Rory Gallagher... Bull Frog blues is a good one to start with.
Gary Moore é um dos maiores guitarristas que pisou nessa terra, agora se vocês querem alcançar o auge da capacidade de Gary Moore vejam a música The 'Messiah will come again' ao vivo neste mesmo Festival de Jazz de Montreux
Thank you Thin Lizzy for hiring this guy.
Camel, Ice, live at the Billboard with Andy Latimer on lead guitar is another must.
So gorgeous 🎸
Would love to see someone react to The Loner live in Stockholm. Maybe you guys could be the first!
Gary Moore - Parisienne Walkways Live HD is a video you must react to. The guitar solo is epic.
Masterpiece
could be the best ever
my fave guitarist is me!!! LOL j/k. Maybe Gary Moore/Dave Gilmore/Mark Knopfler. hell, they are all my favorites....
I'm old okay, and "Still Got the Blues" is my all time #1 song. I watched SO MANY reaction vids on YT and YOURS IS BY FAR THE BEST. Thank you guys for appreciating all the details of this classic song, of Gary Moore, his voice & guitar playing. You did a wonderful review!
🎸🎸🎸
we miss you gary
Dude could make that guitar cry
My fav guitarist of all. Such emotion... Check out more live stuff!!!
Many people say Messiah... Listen to Parisienne Walkways first. Messiah is kind of a part 2 for me.
Today music is just an accompaniment to singing😢
if you like this check out live in Montreal. the messiah will come again. and Parisienne walkways. both are awesome
Montreux
Boa noite faz o react de separates way do Gary Moore por favor
By the way he died from cancer and that guitar 59 Les Paul he got from Peter Green from Fleetwood Mac cheers
Since you love the blues, another rabbit hole you MUST go down is Stevie Ray Vaughan!
His best and some would say the best blues guitar playing EVER caught on video is his version of Texas Flood live at ElMocambo.
Gary IS great but you are not ready for this!

For me Gary is like Gilmour, SRV and nowadays Miyako. Can shred, but kill you with one note and send you to heaven with 3 notes. They play so naturally and with emotion, the 🎸 is not an instrument but a piece of their body.
For me his Opus Dei is Parisienne Walkways. One of the 10 ten guitar solos of all time, what you just did hear is just a warming up……..

If your a guitar lover it’s more then a must………
Master of guitar~
The Greatest Canadian guitarplayer Jeff Healey - Like a harricane, or See the light please react🙏
Happy New Year
Frohes neues Jahr
Listen to his instrumental The Loner
His guitar is crying.
There are a lot of different versions of this song I'm fixing to mention. But if you want to hear some of his best guitar work look up" Parisian walkways with solo and improvs"😮
Great reaction!🤘 If you wanna hear something crazy try Yngwie Malmsteen!
REACTIN TO: I WANT TO KNOW WHAT LOVE IS - FOREIGNER
Check out his 80s era metal/hard rock stuff.....amazing!!!
Legend RIP guitar man.. Also one of Miyako (Lovebites) favorite guitarists.
If you're a fan of the Blues, you should check out Walter Trout - Me, My Guitar and The Blues. He's a Blues guitar legend 😁
Congratulations my friends on discovering the greatest guitarist that ever walked on this earth!
This video was actually recorded at The Hammersmith Odeon in London. I was lucky enough to be there. I saw Gary more times than I can honestly remember. He played Rock, Blues, Jazz-Fusion and even Neo-classical. He could play any style he wanted to. Yes there are and were many great guitarists but Gary just had that something very special above the rest.
Please react to The Messiah Will Come Again Live. Here is the link:

You will see probably the best guitar playing ever. I promise that you will not be disappointed. No vocals in this one...believe me the guitar does the singing.
Look forward to seeing what you think and kindest regards to you both. 😊😎🎸🇬🇧🇺🇦
At Hammersmith Odeon? I didn’t know that. I read somewhere it’s in Hamburg… Thanks for the information. 👍🏻
@@HelMut3103 No Problem.

Gary Moore was known for making pained expressions while playing the guitar. He died before his 60s on February 6, 2011 at the age of 58 due to heart failure. Not a good reason to die so young. Gary wasn't the friendly guy you'd think, either. He was rather bad-tempered, quickly dissatisfied with himself, with his guitar playing, even if others would tell him he was a good player; he didn't want to hear any of that. By the way: Happy New Year!
Please, react to texas flood from el mocambo, stevie ray vaughaun. It is amazing. Gary moore and srv are the best.
see also [Gamma Ray] playing "real world", this music more inspirated in Gary Moore th-cam.com/video/_F9Qg6e0mws/w-d-xo.html
The only blues guitarist I would rank ahead of Gary Moore is STEVIE RAY VAUGHN!🔥 Check out the Stevie Ray video for "Texas Flood" live from the El Mocambo.💥 You'll see what I'm talkin' about.🤗❤️✌️
Look who is also a big fan of him :

Hi. Listen to 'Blues for Narada'. You will not be disappointed.
Wait til you hear "The Messiah will come Again"
Rabbit hole.
Please give a listen to Alvin Lee's "The Bluest Blues ."
How many times did she say rabbit hole?
18?
Next still got the blues cover by alip ba ta.thanks
most will say messiah will come but i think his performance of parisienne walkways in montreux 2010 is better. I just feel more emotion in this performance. both are reaction worthy!
Newer Gary Moore Solo it's the beginning of Pareisian Walkway but he don't sing in it
Check cover Still Got the blues by Gerry Moore versi Alip bata Chanel
Gary sadly got drunk and choked to death on his vomit in his hotel room. Nobody got to him in time. An awful ending
