There is an amazing live version of this which is definitely worth seeing. Parisian Walkways is amazing from him, both Gary and Phil Lynott remained best friends after he left Thin Lizzy and they even released music together - check out "Out in the Fields" which is pure 80's rock.

Gary Moore and Phil Lynott did not speak to each other for 3 years after Gary left Lizzy (for the last time) in July 1979. Gary jumped ship in the middle of a big American tour. Just did not show up for the next gig. He was sick and tired of the drug use that was gong on, and believed it interfered with the music. Phil and Gary eventually made up, and for the last year of Lynotts life, they were friends again.

What a voice and the guitar playing is amazing!

Gary was an AMAZING Guitarist. Some other great tunes by Gary Moore are Parisian sidewalks, and apropos for Easter, his "The Messiah will come again."

Gary was a monster player. Like others have said “Parisienne Walkways” is another must listen to slow burn bluesy number. He had two (or more!) distinct phases to his career. Post Thin Lizzy and through the 80s he was an out and out rocker - “Out in the Fields” (with Phil Lynott), “Wild Frontier” & “Over the Hills And Far Away” (which both showcase his Irish side), “Run For Cover” are great examples of his rock playing. “Empty Rooms” is a beautiful rock ballad. But in 1990 he rediscovered his blues influences and released some fantastic blues tracks. Great examples are “Cold Day In Hell”, “Since I Met You Baby” (with BB King), “Oh Pretty Woman” (with Albert King) and “Too Tired” (with Albert Collins) are great examples of his blues period.

I cried like a baby when Gary passed away. I had been listening to him for decades and he was in my top 3 favorites.

This song is 30 years old and is still superb. One of the greatest songs ever created. He adds a little guitar where it’s needed then saves the rest for the solo.

This is a guy that y’all need to do a deep dive on. I promise you will not be disappointed!!!

One of the greatest blues guitarists ever. Long way too soon. Keep in mind before he really went into the blues he was just a straight-out rock and roller from back in the late seventies and early '80s. Then he turned to the blues and the rest is history RIP Gary Moore. He was also in a band called BBM which is basically supposed to be a reunion of cream but Eric Clapton backed out and he is the guitarist along with Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker from cream if you really want to hear something good check out that CD

Gary Moore is a guitar virtuoso. He played with another band called Colosseum ll in 1977. My favorite by them is an instrumental called "Intergalactic Strut".

ROB SQUAD.. Gary had two musical era's as a solo artist, one was the hardrock era, and the last part before he died, was dedicated to blues. There are a huge catalog of Gary Moore songs in both genres. If you want guitar goosebumps, listen to "Parisienne walkway" "The loner" is another one. If you want the best balled ever, listen to "empty rooms" One of my top 5 favorite guitar players to ever walk the earth.

So glad you found Gary Moore! Gary helped Phil out in Thin Lizzy when Phil needed him. Gary loved Phil like a brother, but couldn't stand being around Phil's hard drug abuse. The Black Rose album, and especially the track, "Róisín Dubh (Black Rose): A Rock Legend" is an amazing collaboration that deserves the title Epic. Gary's career covered almost all genres of Guitar from Jazz Fusion, to Hard Rock/Metal to the Blues, which was his last genre and brought him the most success in the United States with this song. I believe "Parisienne Walkways" his duet with Phil was his biggest hit in Great Britain. A great song to feature next.

The song that really captures the virtuosity of Gary Moore is the live Montreaux version of The Messiah Will Come Again from 1990.

I love Gary Moore. Some of my other favorite songs of his- "Looking for Someone", "Cold Black Night", "How Many Lies", "Enough of the Blues", "Don't you Lie to Me"- it actually keeps going on and on. Also for another great blues/rock artist is Kenny Wayne Shepherd. you need to list to "Blue on Black". Awesome song

This is a great studio version of the song but to really hear Gary cut loose you need a live version. For your next song try a live version of "Parisienne Walkways". He did try some rock/metal in the 80s with his album "Victims of the Future"... the title track is a great song. He also did a nice rock ballad called "Empty Rooms"... but his main vein in music settled into blues.

Gary Moore separate ways live and story of the blues live wow. And Gary Moore and Albert King live in London wow just wow. And Gary Moore live the sky is crying. Gary the best guitar player ever

Gary Moore had a love for the blues, blue grass, and the songs of his home country Ireland. He loved Irish folk music but he left Thin Lizzy because he lost a good friend in the band due to drugs, and Gary needed to get a way, concentrate on his music, clear his head, and slow down on his drug use. Unfortunately Gary loved to drink and that is what took him so young. A very talented man indeed and a down to earth person. We put these musicians and entertainers of all kinds on a pedestal when in all actuality they are just like us. Trying to enjoy their life and do what they love. The cost of fame is so high.

Want more Gary Moore blues? Check out “Jumpin at Shadows” “As the years go passing by” and “Midnight Blues”… It’s too bad you watched the official video, because you missed out on the outgoing solo of the original studio recording. You’d have loved that, for sure.

You need to watch him live to see his guitar skills.... emotion and feel like nobody else ever

Gary Moore (born 1952, died 2011) was a legendary Irish blues guitarist, who started in the 60's and was friends w/ (the late) Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzy - he would play shows w/ the band, but only appeared on 1 Thin Lizzy album 'Black rose' (1979). It was in the 80's when Gary Moore established himself as a solo artist... his mix of old school blues and 80's rock made him a big name in Europe & Asia (he only had minor success in the USA) His 1985 album 'Run for cover' had the single 'Out in the fields' (co-written by Phil Lynott) and 'Empty rooms'... His 1987 album 'Wild frontier' (dedicated to the memory of Phil Lynott, who died in 1986) had the single 'Over the hills and far away' (which was covered by Nightwish). He followed it up w/ the album 'After the war' in 1989... then scored a gold album (half million copies) in the US in 1990 - 'Still got the blues'... Followed by the album 'After hours' in 1992. Subsequent Gary Moore records did not sell well in the 90's and beyond, but he kept recording and touring, until his death in early 2011.

For me Gary was the perfect blend of speed & feel. When he wanted to he could put it in overdrive and just rip , but man could he make notes sing for days also. Having Peter Green's '59 Les Paul with the out of phase neck pick up wiring didn't hurt either. That guitar is now owned by Kirk Hammett of Metallica. It's sad to know that Jeff Healy , SRV & Gary are no longer with us but thank god for the music they left behind that will be enjoyed forever !

And you have to listen to the full length version of the song! The guitar solo at the end of this song is the best part of it.

Friend of mine introduced me to Gary Moore years ago. Two of his that I love are Cold Day in Hell, and Story of the Blues Great feelings and great guitar work in both tunes. Peace!

While the album and single "Still Got The Blues" is what he is best known for, the album that followed it , "After Hours" was his best. "Cold Day In Hell", "Since I met You Baby (with B.B. King)" and "Fool In Town" are standouts on basically a 10 out of 10 album.
