Gary's in his spaceship, ready to take off. He's one of those unearthly musicians

Gary was the absolute guitar master! The best guitarist ever to walk this earth! This video is indisputable proof. This was in fact Gary's second encore of the evening. Just imagine that if the audience hadn't demanded more then this absolutely brilliant guitar playing would not have been captured. Oh and by the way, that is in fact Andy Pyle on bass! 😊😎🎸

The best thing about this song is that the guitar is telling a story. She speaks, screams, cries and in the end she dies. And I think there's no one better in the world to do that on a guitar than Gary Moore. Not only in this song, but also the Prophet is another display of feeling and many other solos that he has in his career.

This is my first time really focusing on Moore’s technique and feel. Holy shit.

This is the technical chops of Beck, or Satrioni, with the passion and soul of Vai or Santana, or Page or Gilmore. I am blown away!

The guitar in this video is indeed greeny and now owned by Kirk Hammett. And Gary always used to say because of the wider neck, it ain’t the easiest Les Paul to play. So if you take that into account, it makes this performance even more special

Gary Moore could do it all. Every style of rock music you can imagine. He was always a natural talent when it came to Blues guitar playing but his years of Jazz-fusion with Colosseum II is what really turned him into a monster player. By the time he rejoined Thin Lizzy for the 3rd (and final) time in 1978, Moore was easily one of the very best guitarists in the world.

Gary Moore had more grit, passion, and emotion in his guitar playing than anyone has ever had. The fact that rolling stone magazine doesn't even have Gary Moore in the top 100 for guitar players is a complete joke! Gary is better than anyone on the top 100 list. They also totally blow it by ranking SRV at 12th and even more absurd is ranking Rory Gallagher at 57th. Gary, Rory, and Stevie are all no worse than top 5 all-time!

Thanks for this. I have seen GM in Montreaux before - but not this song. It is not necessary for the interminable debates. There are many great guitarists - all are unique and cannot be compared. It is just for us to appreciate them all. GM is one of the best and will surely be missed - and this is one of the best. Thanks again.

Don't get me wrong Roy is no slouch on the guitar, but Gary's chops, arrangement, and soulfulness just takes the song to another level where only eagles fly.

He can play just about anything and take some interesting paths for a hard rock guitarist might check out "Sugar Foot Rag", (Crank It Up) 2019, Playthrough of ZOINKS! or pulling strings (unfortunately I don't see a whole live version of this).
