The year was 1990 date May 1 venue the Concert Hall in my city. On stage was Gary Moore and he did several encores and this was the final song. He played it with lots of improvisation and feeling that you felt you had gone to Heaven!! He left us way too early.
One of the greatest guitarists there ever was......the world lost a legend. Check out Still got the Blues, Parisienne Walkways, Story of the Blues, The Loner.......too many to list.
Gary was one of the greatest guirarists of all time, and with a sound that is unmistakable. His hugely long sustains, deep and amazingoly controlled vibrato, and pure tone set him above almost all others, and where most guitarists plug their guitars into an amp, Gary plugged his right into your heart.
Thanks Pat for doing this reaction, one of my favorite tracks of all time! Can't get the reactors here in the US to do it, most likely copyright garbage. Gary had so much talent, and his TONE was what really made him stand out, he had it perfected! A quick somewhat funny story. When my wife and I first got together, she had some lame ass country song to be "our song". I said hey, listen to this and played for her Gary's Parisienne Walkways and she fell in love with it, and all of his music. To this day, some 25 years later, I can have her mad as a hornet at me, and I'll eventually put that song on and she is sitting on my lap holding my hand! THAT is the power that Gary had!! lmao On a more somber note, she actually cried tears the day he died, because she never got to see him live, and knew then that she never would. A sad day for music, RIP Gary.
great reaction brother to Gary he was talent and then some. I've seen him twice and both times blew me away. check out ballads and blues and blues alive thrill is gone with the other legend b b King it's something else brother. Scottish fan ✊️👍🏴
One of the most unregarded of guitarists. I saw Gary live a few times and he never failed to impress me. His feel and technique were always underscored with killer tone. He was always entertaining and fun. RIP.
One of the simplest songs you will never be able play with his emotion. Gary was a master at channeling his feelings to the fretboard... RIP to the master.
Good one Pat Gary Moore great blues player like srv can make guitar speak 😀and he has great voice to go with his rigorous playing Thanks for that reaction Pat 😀🤙🤙
Best Guitarist ever. Check out is rock stuff. His live recordings are immense. Shapes of Things, Empty Rooms and Military Man showcase his skills superbly. He blew every other guitarist off the stage in the 80's
Gary could make the guitar talk and cry at the same time! Very unique sound to other guitarists out there. Check out The Loner and Parisienne Walkways, top notch. Great reaction mate!
Oh man I love Gary Moore. For me personally, he is the greatest of them all. Others will disagree and that is cool, but his music means the world to me. You'll get suggestions for Still Got The Blues and Parisienne Walkways but can I please request the Live Version of Like Angels from 1997. That is one of my all time favourite songs (that no-one has ever reacted to) But as for Gary, his tone and skill are just incredible. I can, and many times have, listen to him all day long. Someone will correct me if I am wrong, but that guitar looks suspiciously like his Les Paul Standard, that was given to him by Peter Green (Fleetwood Mac) and that now belongs to Kirk Hammett (Metallica)
and now that I have finished watching the video I have to say I really enjoy your reactions, Came to your channel for the Nightwish and now you are doing Gary Moore, and from the way you enjoy both, you have great taste my dude.
It is a great idea to listen to both Roy Buchanans version n Gary M because of how they present this piece....their true artistry is the feeling n presentation. I am sure each could play the others version but art is your expression
One off saw many times brilliant live gary could make it scream cry and that sustain unbelievable great guitarist beautiful sound be no more Gary's sadd loss rip gary 👍
I was intrigued by title.....and really pleasantly surprised at the music. Close your eyes and don the head phones....super. Thanks for stretching us to other genres.
there is a video on youtube of an entire live show titled "gary moore live blues" 1 hour 37 minutes long. recommend everyone that comes across this comment to watch it, it will blow your mind.
Please everyone go watch the original by Roy Buchanan. And then watch every video on him playing you can find (he died too soon and isn’t nearly as known as he should be given his talent)
Look at Red House, Parisene Ways. He had played this on “Greeny” Peter Greens old guitar from Fleetwood Mac and now the magical guitar belongs to Kirk Hammett from Metallica. Gary was one of my influences playing guitar and always a champion! Cheers! 😎🎶🎸
Excellent choice Pat! I hope you’ll do his cover of Hendrix’s ‘Red House’ (that I sent you) because: 1) It’s his tribute to Jimi. 2) He can sing the hell out of it too. 3) His guitar playing on this song is just flat out phenomenal! Don’t forget to put Blue in the next one… where the hell was he? Lol
You must hear the original by the great master of the Telecaster guitar Roy Buchanan. From many of the comments all I have to say is many have not heard the original by one of the greats. When talking about tone, feel, warmth, soul, and making a guitar tell the story I would recommend Buchanan over all others. Covers by others that I have heard, thou OK, have failed to capture Buchanan's efforts
You should check out the original by Roy Buchanan. Don't get me wrong, Gary is awesome and I love his playing but you should check out the guy who wrote it. Roy was amazing.
I agree with you. This version in no way inspires or impresses me the way the original does. Many who listen to this version probably never heard of Roy Buchanan. I get inspiration of Roy over and over. Less nuance, tone, and feel then the original which I have listened to and practiced hundreds of times over the last 40+ years . I will never listen to this version again. I guess I was anticipating something amazing and superior to the original. Probably not during my life time.
I need to clarify something. Gary Moore played in a band called Skid Row , but not the same Skid Row that featured Dave Sabo , Sebastian Bach, Scotty Hill . Different Skid Row.
Brilliant guitarist. I like his stuff. You really need to do Satriani at some point. You might also want to check out Tina S. She is an amazing French guitarist and is about 16 or 17 in most of the videos. If you like the "fingerstyle" guitar, check out Gabriella Quevedo. Her arrangements are stellar.
Gary is for me best of the best, I like David Gilmour playing too, but by my view is Gilmour so far not so skilled as Moore and yes, Gary playing with and from soul and this are huge bonus points for him
If you want to see some good guitar work, not to match up with Gary, but good none the less. Look and do the reaction video for "River is rising" by blues counsel. The blues counsel is a band made of Christian musicians. There are 8 guitarist in that video each doing a solo.
There were two "legendary" guitarists here in the DC area...Roy Buchanan, and Danny Gatton. Sadly, in a really shitty shitty twist, both of them chose to end their own lives. Buchanan in somewhat controversial circumstance in the Fairfax County jail after a DUI arrest (something alcohol related if not actually DUI iirc), and Gatton shot himself on his farm in rural Maryland. I wasn't that big of a Roy Buchanan fan, but I saw him a few times. Danny, on the other hand, I saw DOZENS of times through the years. While not a "rock" guitarist, (much more country/Nashville/chicken pickin' style) he was so far in a class by himself that out of town guitarists of all types would come to see him by word of mouth, and leave slack jawed lol. There aren't a whole lot of good videos of him that really capture his sound but here's a couple: th-cam.com/video/mGGE4CrPvjU/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/MS5XH84mmI4/w-d-xo.html. They go back a few years lol, and the video quality is shite, but they're worth checking out. As for Gary, he's in my top 3 of all time...I don't need to say much more than that :).
Enjoy watching your reactions .. love Steve Ray and Gary Moore Keep doing your thing !!! I think you would really enjoy Parisienne Walkways by him .. if you get a chance check it out th-cam.com/video/vkUpfw4Hf3w/w-d-xo.html
That’s just so wrong. No human should ever be able to play like that. Most other fast play are just having than selves showing off. there is none of that here.
RIP you wonderful man, thank you ❤️🙏
my number 1 guitarist. No one plays like Gary!
The year was 1990 date May 1 venue the Concert Hall in my city. On stage was Gary Moore and he did several encores and this was the final song. He played it with lots of improvisation and feeling that you felt you had gone to Heaven!! He left us way too early.
Please dont say he's gone.. It hurts too much
One of the greatest guitarists there ever was......the world lost a legend. Check out Still got the Blues, Parisienne Walkways, Story of the Blues, The Loner.......too many to list.
Picture of the moon is a very underrated song as well!!!
Straight up god
Gary was one of the greatest guirarists of all time, and with a sound that is unmistakable. His hugely long sustains, deep and amazingoly controlled vibrato, and pure tone set him above almost all others, and where most guitarists plug their guitars into an amp, Gary plugged his right into your heart.
WOW
Gary Moore the Belfast Boy best in the World.
Yes he was great.
Good job, i like the fact that you don't keep stopping the video. I think talking over it is better than stopping it.
the best solo EVER
Totally agree 💯 👍
Gary had such beautiful feel, he just made it talk.
thought it read he had beautiful feet.
And scream as well holy moly
R.I.P. there will never be another
Absolute Masterpiece
An absolute master at work. RIP Gary - you're greatly missed.
Finally somebody is reacting to the performence by Gary Moore (RIP.). Thank You.
Holy smokes.... I’ve heard of Gary Moore before and just finally listened for the first time. He’s among the all time top of the line greats for me.
I have enjoyed this master guitar player for years. I am sure you are enjoying the ride exploring his many great works.
Thanks Pat for doing this reaction, one of my favorite tracks of all time! Can't get the reactors here in the US to do it, most likely copyright garbage.

great reaction brother to Gary he was talent and then some. I've seen him twice and both times blew me away. check out ballads and blues and blues alive thrill is gone with the other legend b b King it's something else brother. Scottish fan ✊️👍🏴
The Messiah will come 💥
Those crazy Northern Irish. He was a gift from Belfast.
One of the most unregarded of guitarists. I saw Gary live a few times and he never failed to impress me. His feel and technique were always underscored with killer tone.
He was always entertaining and fun. RIP.
Gary Moore and Scott Gorham live in Dublin playing Thin Lizzy's Black Rose... Genius. To watch at your own leisure or review. Enjoy.
Here it is th-cam.com/video/4QJl67JwktA/w-d-xo.html
Ah that was a brilliant show 👌
One of the simplest songs you will never be able play with his emotion. Gary was a master at channeling his feelings to the fretboard... RIP to the master.
Oh man. I love this song.
Rip gary
Good one Pat Gary Moore great blues player like srv can make guitar speak 😀and he has great voice to go with his rigorous playing Thanks for that reaction Pat 😀🤙🤙
'empty rooms', 'separate ways' and 'thrill is gone'- a duet with bb king which is fantastic.'
Best Guitarist ever. Check out is rock stuff. His live recordings are immense. Shapes of Things, Empty Rooms and Military Man showcase his skills superbly. He blew every other guitarist off the stage in the 80's
Gary could make the guitar talk and cry at the same time! Very unique sound to other guitarists out there. Check out The Loner and Parisienne Walkways, top notch. Great reaction mate!
"The Loner" live at Hammersmith Odeon from Gary Moore is his single best performance.
Oh man I love Gary Moore. For me personally, he is the greatest of them all. Others will disagree and that is cool, but his music means the world to me. You'll get suggestions for Still Got The Blues and Parisienne Walkways but can I please request the Live Version of Like Angels from 1997.

It seems like It's greeny, it has the pickguard in reverse and the pinky finger marks in the wood.
I will not disagree! Gary Moore is the greatest guitarist of all-time!
Agreed
Gotta do more Gary!!
red house will blow you away
I've just watched a video of Wings of Pegasus guitarist looking at Gary Moore and explaining his technique. Fascinating.
He sure takes you for a ride; doesn't he? Such a great talent.
It is a great idea to listen to both Roy Buchanans version n Gary M because of how they present this piece....their true artistry is the feeling n presentation. I am sure each could play the others version but art is your expression
Best in the business.
Still got the blues should be your next Gary Moore reaction. Love your reactions. Look up the history of this guitar . It’s interesting.
One off saw many times brilliant live gary could make it scream cry and that sustain unbelievable great guitarist beautiful sound be no more Gary's sadd loss rip gary 👍
I was intrigued by title.....and really pleasantly surprised at the music. Close your eyes and don the head phones....super. Thanks for stretching us to other genres.
the Best
Favorite by Gary Moore
Hey ! Gary Moore шикарный инструменталист , Wow ! Wow ! Wow ! Fantastisch , super - Musiker ! Уши вянут , а какое исполнение ?!!! Спасибо ! Сочувствую Вам !✌️✌️✌️⚡⚡⚡
Speechless. Legend.
"Over the Hills and Far Away" from Gary would be fun a listen. I've been listening to Nightwish's cover but haven't heard Gary's original for decades
So happy you reacted to our Gary m8 big love!
Great cover by Gary Moore. Please react to Roy Buchanan doing this song.
yeppers right up there. awesome
I love this song ...never heard this version but great ...I don't know why but I tear up every time I hear this
Not many people knew he was a guitar shredder and a bluesman
there is a video on youtube of an entire live show titled "gary moore live blues" 1 hour 37 minutes long.
recommend everyone that comes across this comment to watch it, it will blow your mind.
Only the good die young.....RIP 🎉
This is the one!
Please everyone go watch the original by Roy Buchanan. And then watch every video on him playing you can find (he died too soon and isn’t nearly as known as he should be given his talent)
Also "Cliffs of Dover" by Eric Johnson is an amazing guitar piece worthy of listening to and adding to your playlist.
Look at Red House, Parisene Ways. He had played this on “Greeny” Peter Greens old guitar from Fleetwood Mac and now the magical guitar belongs to Kirk Hammett from Metallica. Gary was one of my influences playing guitar and always a champion! Cheers! 😎🎶🎸
Kirk Hammett will never make it sing like Gary did.
PG- Check out "Separate Ways" live or "Oh, Pretty Woman" which is not the Roy Orbison tune we're all familiar with.
Gotta do Parisienne Walkways from Montreaux 2010. Probably his best live performance I've ever seen on video.
Excellent choice Pat!
I hope you’ll do his cover of Hendrix’s ‘Red House’ (that I sent you) because:
1) It’s his tribute to Jimi.
2) He can sing the hell out of it too.
3) His guitar playing on this song is just flat out phenomenal!
Don’t forget to put Blue in the next one… where the hell was he? Lol
Agreed. One of the greatest solos ever
The loner live at hammersmith odeon next! its just as amazing of a performance as this one!! it might even surpass it!
Love Gary. There is only Andy Timmons Cry for you 😊
The only one who made guitar cry...you should try midnight blues and the thrill is gone with BB King!
Please react to "Still Got the Blues For You" also by Gary Moore. Please and thank you.
You must hear the original by the great master of the Telecaster guitar Roy Buchanan. From many of the comments all I have to say is many have not heard the original by one of the greats. When talking about tone, feel, warmth, soul, and making a guitar tell the story I would recommend Buchanan over all others.

The king of sustain!
You should check out the original by Roy Buchanan. Don't get me wrong, Gary is awesome and I love his playing but you should check out the guy who wrote it. Roy was amazing.

Wishing you all the best.
I need to clarify something. Gary Moore played in a band called Skid Row , but not the same Skid Row that featured Dave Sabo , Sebastian Bach, Scotty Hill . Different Skid Row.
Clapton, Bonamassa...??? Gary was and will be the best ever
Best solo. Now i know.
Brilliant guitarist. I like his stuff. You really need to do Satriani at some point. You might also want to check out Tina S. She is an amazing French guitarist and is about 16 or 17 in most of the videos. If you like the "fingerstyle" guitar, check out Gabriella Quevedo. Her arrangements are stellar.
Try watching empty rooms stockholm or parisienne walkways 2010 montruex
His vibrato, man that les paul took some abuse.
僕はこの演奏を越える演奏を聴いた事がない。
Yeah, Gary is one of the all time best. Kirk Hammett of Metallica owns that guitar now.
After spending a summer listening to Roy Buchanan, Gary was a convert. Like all complete artists he plays his own style..not copy
13K 👍
Gary is for me best of the best, I like David Gilmour playing too, but by my view is Gilmour so far not so skilled as Moore and yes, Gary playing with and from soul and this are huge bonus points for him
You must watch the loner live in stockholm 1987.
If you want to see some good guitar work, not to match up with Gary, but good none the less. Look and do the reaction video for "River is rising" by blues counsel. The blues counsel is a band made of Christian musicians. There are 8 guitarist in that video each doing a solo.
Stevie Ray Vaughn isn't even remotely close to this unmatchable level of mastery.
He's from Northern Ireland. He's British.
Also, Gary's tone is unmistakable and unmatched. OK, well Peter Green's tone was killer, too. Know why...? Same guitar!!
Roy Buchannan did this song originally. Check out his version. th-cam.com/video/deeBQZ8Aklc/w-d-xo.html
Bad Company, by Bad Company.
End of the world

As for Gary, he's in my top 3 of all time...I don't need to say much more than that :).
Jesus Did Return And took Gary Home With Him. 2011.
He doesn’t get the credit he deserves. Try Steve Vai or Vinnie Moore and of corse Joe Satriani one of the best and taught Steve Vai.
Rory Gallagher
Enjoy watching your reactions .. love Steve Ray and Gary Moore
Keep doing your thing !!!
I think you would really enjoy
Parisienne Walkways by him .. if you get a chance check it out
th-cam.com/video/vkUpfw4Hf3w/w-d-xo.html
He sold that guitar to Kirk Hammet from Metallica for $700,00.00 to a million somewhere in between
Kirk bought it after Gary died.
Is there a better live guitar performance on film? Not for me.
That’s just so wrong. No human should ever be able to play like that. Most other fast play are just having than selves showing off. there is none of that here.
messiah will come after the false one eyed messiah
Very good. But i still like SRV AND JOE BONAMASSA. BETTER. MAYBE A BETTER SONG
Cry baby cry
There are fantastic guitarists out there, beyond description. None of them come up to SRV!!!
Roy Buchanan was way better!!
Way way way better. The people praising Gary as THE GREATEST EVER have never heard of Roy Buchanan. Roy had more depth, feel
and tone and could tell a story on guitar like no other.
Sorry but I've listened to Roy Buchanan's version and although good, Gary's is far better.❤💜💙
