Hi Angel thanks for comment and it was cool . Just up the road was a village with a pub who had live bands with a permanent stage set up in the garden . One evening which I missed George Harrison was there and Gary Moore arrived with his guitar and amp and they got on the stage and did a one off Jam . A part of history I missed .

Gary Moore uses every bit of his guitar's range. He lives on the knife's edge. This man is my GOAT player.

What a contrast. Albert doesn't play many notes, but every one grabs you by the balls. Gary runs you over. Fabulous stuff.

I just keep coming back to this. Gary looks so happy in his element. Monster guitar 🎸 player.

Gary Moore has always a killer sound that I can never heard of anybody who is legendary in guitar. He's tone is so distinctive that you can be sure that if you hear a sounds like that tone and play, You can be sure it's Gary.

Saw him 3 times. The best blues guitarist I ever saw. No one had as much attack as him, he literally put everything into his performance. His tone, and choice of notes were extraordinary. I remember one live show I saw when he broke a string during the still got the blues solo, he changed the chord structure and carried on. Fast, slow, melodic. One of the greatest dead or alive.

You might be right. It saddens me how little of my generation, who grew up on Hendrix and Clapton and the like as the guitar heroes, mostly missed out on Gary. Still Got The Blues video on youtube kills me. Gary and Phil Keaggy are the two best who went underappreciated the most, in my opinion. Keaggy, of course, is still living. If you find the podcast by legendary bassist Leland Sklar, where he plays Keaggy's song "Time," it's interesting how he describes the reverence with which other famous guitarists discussed Phil Keaggy. It's very early in the podcast.

I was lucky enough to attend this concert at Hammersmith back in 1990..yessss 28+ years ago...but this show highlight ...probably the stand-out number on the evening I think..still remains firmly in my memory as one of the greatest 12 bar blues tracks I have ever heard... with two great guitarists who do not compete but who I believe actually compliment one another perfectly. I was saddened at the subsequent loss of both artists to the music world and will miss them greatly. I just hope that the powers to be will recognise and appreciate Gary Moore's and Albert King's contributions by releasing the whole of this VHS concert recording on a DVD soon.

I only got to see Gary once and that was in 1978 (from memory) when he played at Hammersmith Odeon with Thin Lizzy. That's where i first heard of him. He brought out an album around that time 'Back on the Street Again'. A monster of an album which really turned me on to his brilliant playing.

You can see the respect Gary has for Albert. Albert is the king of blues and Gary is just a beast on guitar and I love it.

Albert couldn’t contain his joy seeing Gary tear it up 😎

I have heard so many different artists versions iof this song including many other performances by Albert King. They were great, however these two artists togeather blow them all off the map. You can see how much Gary and Albert connect and take this old Mississippi delta blues song to another dimension. Just Fabulous!!!!!

Blues is a free expression and can be played however the musician wants to play it. Matters not if the guitar is distorted or not. That’s RIDICULOUS! There’s many different kinds of blues. All you pure-ests STOP! trying to put music in a box. All American music came from Gospel. Blues, jazz, all different kinds of rock, funk, rhythm and blues. And all that happened because people experimented and expressed themselves however they wanted. Art is a creative process. If you have to follow some guideline or some genre or some pure form then you are no longer being creative. You’re just copying what somebody else already created. Albert King was sitting in with Gary Moore. Obviously Albert King wasn’t offended by Gary’s playing or he would’ve never sat in with him.

Allentown, PA 1990. 10 or 20 miles later. Playing with his grandson. Stake was huge. He played right in my face. Thanks King.

Such a powerful, heartfelt performance! I lost my cherished VHS of this show in a house move a while back, but managed to find the full show here on KZread

I had read, years ago, that Albert said that his favorite guitarists out of the “new cats” were Gary & SRV, so I’m not thinking this is “disrespectful” or “upstaging”, whatsoever.. I’m thinking that this is Albert King smiling & laughing, having a helluva’ time watching Gary Moore detonate sonic nuclear bombs everywhere..

That was truly wonderful. Music is not about competition as to who is the best because there is no answer. To me this illustrated how a really gifted Garry Moore played tribute to his roots and how much he enjoyed playing with one of his influences. Gary was not just a blues player but did some fantastic work with John Hiseman and Colliseum.

Playing any instrument is not a competition, great music is not just being flashy and playing fast. I would give an example of Joni Mitchell.

Stormy Monday has never been played with a better guitarist, this is rock and roll at it's best. God bless you, Gary! ♥

I disagree completely. Moore wasn't making any attempt to show off or disrespect the King. He was simply paying homage to one of his greatest influences by playing to the best of his ability. King was smiling because he was enjoying the music. He loves the blues, no matter who plays it. He's not all bitter about getting upstaged or whatever. That would be petty, insecure, and self-centered. I seriously doubt that thought ever even crossed his mind. Just my opinion.

This is not about skill or licks. this is abut the blues and for a blues master like Gary to even contemplate disrespecting a God like Albert is ludicrous. There is only - as it should be - mutual respect. Albert knows that - whereas Gary uses many more notes, he is 100% a true blues player. that's all it takes.

Albert isn't some feeble old man here! When you play with the greats you bring your A - game as gary did. The disrespect would have been if he'd toned it down. Albert knew exactly what he'd get here.
