Was lucky enough to see him about a year before his death at a tiny blues pub in Brighton. You could not move and obviously he was incredible. His grave is in Rottingdean near Brighton where he spent the last years of his tragically short life.....
Hi Chris, got a lot of admiration for Gary Moore. Never really took any notice of him until my 20's though. I mean, Parisian Walkways, c'mon who doesn't like like that. A real accomplished guitarist in my opinion, well, what I've heard anyway and that's mostly his bluesy stuff. Another great video. Cheers.
What a great guitar player - fusion / hard rock / blues - love all of Gary Moore’s main phases. ‘Back on the Streets’ is one of my desert island albums - got me into Colosseum II. I was lucky enough to meet him when he was touring with Greg Lake - a great band and they were really nice people. No pressure on Gary then and no drugs or egos - he was totally relaxed and seemed to enjoy being a sideman for a while 👍
awesome stuff, some great picks from every area of this guitar legends amazing output, my favourite are the blues albums man he could make that guitar cry and sing, cheers chris
Chris I remember travelling with three mates in a Mini during mid-week to see Colosseum II with Gary in a small club in Swansea. The band came on rather late (10.30 onwards) so sadly we didn't get to see the whole set as we all needed to get home in time for work the next day.
Great selection, Chris. Gary Moore had an unparallelled knack for making people cry. I know that sounds an odd kind of achievement, but his guitar-playing AND singing had/have that effect on me, and yet his music was never depressing - it was more cathartic than leading to despair. Here are a few songs which hit that spot: * Crying in the Shadows, '85/'86: B-side which could've been an A-side. Neil Carter's keys and backing vocals play a big part too. It tells the story of two people who exist on the edge of mutual recognition, but you never find out if they've met or just sense in one another the same pain and loss. It helped me get over a major split years later. Thanks guys!😄 * Still in Love with You '85: You mentioned this one, and it's fantastic. Phil is clearly living the story 100%, and Gary's guitar is sympathetic and eerie. A friend called it beautiful - she'd never heard the Lizzy versions. It's one of the most haunting performances in music history. * The Sky Is Crying, '92: A blues cover, and Gary sounds both heartbroken and confident. As with the first one, it helped me process a break-up that year, because it reassures you that other people have endured those dreadful feelings and survived. * Rest in Peace: I know you really like Dirty Fingers, and this final track on the album may be a G-Force song. It's brilliant, but it borders on scary! It tells of a man literally haunted by his late partner. "He sees her face in the mirror, But as he turns, she starts to fade." This song combines shattering heartbreak with the supernatural, and Gary's ending solo is so intense that it gives you gooseflesh. You feel you're in the house where it all plays out. * One Day, '95: Said to be a BBM song, this one is very emotional but uplifting. It's on the Ballads & Blues album. It's lovely, and very touching. Beautiful guitar. Sorry for the length of this post, but, as Classic Rock pointed out in a review, Gary had "The tingle factor". Other guitarists, Blackmore, Schenker, Santana, and others, play with tons of feel, but Moore took it to a visceral level.
Wow! What an amazing comment. It’s for moments like this that I bother doing these videos. Thank you so much Pete for sharing your thoughts about this amazing musician. Best wishes, Chris.
@@TheVinylOrchard: Hi Chris, and thank you! That's very nice to hear - I was worried that I might've over-informed. 😀 By the way, glad you like Blood of Emeralds, and I didn't know Simon Phillips played on it. It's a shame Cozy quit before the tour, as he and Gary were great together. Cheers.🙂
Great choices Chris! Gary Moore was very underated! I enjoyed half of Back on the streets should have been his best album! All your albums picked I have! Excellent!
Hey Chris great video pal not sure if I commented when it came round first time ...personally love gary moore as a rock guitarist victims of the future or corridors of power with a different beat as a dark horse album..all the best bud
I saw Gary Moore with the Greg Lake Band at Liverpool Royal Court in 1981. It was pretty poorly attended but they didn't let that put them off and put in a very impressive and professional show. Gary Moore really rated that band and was disappointed that they didn't do better, but musically Lake and Moore were really good together.
Such a talented guitarist and I agree much underrated. Hard to disagree too much with your picks. Run For Cover is a great album with Glenn and Phil's involvement. I have to say though I really love the G-Force album, almost every song is good. - Nuclear Attack is a great song and what can you say about Black Rose - phenomenal song. Quite unusual for a guitarist to cover so many genres.

Saw him last in 2009 in Bristol. Just great player. Thank you for watching again, Chris

Interesting band. Musically very accomplished. I like fusion but it isn’t for everyone. Cheers Steven. Thanks for watching sir

@BanalayerPete1972 Simon Philips - astonishingly good drummer
Great choices Chris! Gary Moore was very underated! I enjoyed half of Back on the streets should have been his best album! All your albums picked I have! Excellent!
What a superb guitarist he was. Cheers Ian, Chris

Thanks so much for watching Neil and taking the time to comment. Cheers fella
De Gary Moore yo tengo “Live At Montreux” y “Close As You Get” ¡Los amo!☮️✌️🙂
@@estebansanchezramirez great set

Although I wasn’t that keen about ELP, Greg Lake was a good musician. Nuclear attack is a great track. Cheers Craig. Have a great weekend, Chris
