Not underrated...but criminally unknown.

There will never be another guitarist like this legend who pours so emotion into every note. R.I.P. legend.

He not only feels the blues, but he communicates it, he shares it with us in a way no other musician has ever done. 'Emotion in every note' sescribes Gary perfectly

Moore was one of the greatest guitarists ever.

Gary Moore was one of the most versatile and greatest guitarists ever. RIP Gary. I hope you and Rory are jamming.

the live version still got the blues is unreal.

An absolute must for Gary Moore is Gary doing Red House Live. A monster performance

I was lucky to see him many times, through his rock and blues years. He lived in my home city of Brighton and I met him on a few occasions, he always took the time to talk. A great guitarist, singer and man ❤

Gary Moore's cover of Hendricks,Red House (live) is 🔥🔥

Yep, the Fender Anniversary gig was simply fantastic. If it had strings Moore could play it.

Gary Moore was a guitar legend and genius . Without doubt one of the greatest guitar 🎸 axe man ever, a top 3 in my opinion. I first saw Gary when he was a member of Thin Lizzy in the late 1970,'s but Gary stepped it up in his solo work and his move into Blues .His genius was there for all to see. Sadly Gary Passed away in 2011 whilst in Spain but I was fortunate enough to see Gary play a whole load off concerts around London from the Hammersmith Odeon ( Apollo) to smaller venues. I remember him doing shows with BB King Albert King and Albert Collins amongst other greats and I had the pleasure of seeing one show he did in June/July 1990 when I was standing at the vip bar watching Mr Moore perform whilst chatting away to John Lord of Deep Purple fame who at the time was a neighbour of mine. RIP GARY MOORE & JOHN LORD

This is an amazing song! Gary Moore in my opinion is the best guitarist of all time. He’s well known but so underrated at the same time!! If you like Gary Moore’s guitar solo’s - you will love Parisienne walkways. I recommend watching the live version, with the title - “Parisienne walkways best version” you won’t be disappointed. Thanks for the reaction you two 🤩

Got to agree 100% , the live version of Parisienne walkway is absolutely stunning & a must see .

You have to see and hear Gary Moore “Empty Rooms live at Stockholm”

What only experienced musicians will catch: Gary botched the beginning of the outro, so what does he do? He changes a couple notes to make it a relative mode to make it match root, then seamlessly goes back into the root key to finish the outro. This is some expert level shxt to do live.

Another Irish guitarist you might try, - usually considered raucous, intricate and loud; but who gave a pared down, almost spare yet sonically beautiful performance in "I Fall Apart" - Rory Gallagher.

RIP Gary. Jim

Great Gary R.I.P.

Gary Moore, and Stevie Ray Voughan, Amazing guitarist.

Gary Moore songs - 'Over the hills and far away' ... 'Empty rooms' ... 'Nuclear attack' ... 'Out in the fields'... 'After the war'... 🤘🤘🔥🔥🎸

Gary’s “Corridors Of Power” is a great album! “Nuclear Attack” is on Greg Lake’s 1981 solo album. Gary played guitar for Greg’s 1981 and 1983 album, Manoeuvres. Both are excellent!

Another good song from this same show is Parisienne Walkways. To me Gary was the perfect blend of feel & speed.

Gary Moore, the guitar god. I am grateful to be able to experience him live in Germany

You soo need to watch & listen to the DVD/blue ray of Gary Moore and friends : One night in Dublin a tribute to Phil Lynott , Gary played with Thin Lizzy for a while, sadly Phil Lynott died and the concert is awesome, sadly now Gary Moore has gone and we only have these great memories - that gig will blow you away

One of the greatest guitarists .... wish he was still here....

Definitely in the conversation when it comes to the greatest of all time

You can't beat Gary Moore brilliant rock and Blues player

I was fortunate to see him open an all day show in the Astrodome, Houston in 1984. He was followed by Bryan Adams, Ozzy, .38 Special, and then Rush. Looking back, he should have been the headliner of the show and not the opening act. It's amazing how he makes you feel with that guitar.

Love his voice and guitar playing. This song is beautiful! I love a singer/ musician/band that can make me feel. ❤

I knew of Gary Moore but never really KNEW his music until the pandemic and all those hours spent on YT watching him. One of the GOATS without a doubt. Loved your reaction and comments Sam & Phil. 😊

He was totally unique in his playing! His tone, phrasing and technique.... Being able to communicate feelings, passion and sadness with the guitar! God I miss him! RIP Master. Thanks guys! I love his "I´m always gonna love you" (with one of my favorite solo´s ever).

This is the greatest guitarists of all time Gary Moore ❤❤

I like his guitar playing. He puts feeling into it. And he has a great voice.

It's easy to find a guitar player, even a blues guitar, who is technically amazing on KZread. It's impossible to find a technically amazing guitar player who makes every note an emotional experience. Gary communicates the pain and desperation of the blues better than anyone ever has. Every solo is an emotional journey, a window into Gary' soul. Criminally under-rated, but he has has to be in any conversation about the GOAT.

Walking by myself is great

Gary was one of the best to pick up the axe!!! This song will alwasy have a special place in my heart. When my daughter was born she suffered with very bad colic, playing this song and dancing with her was one of the only ways to get her to calm down and sleep. Parisienne Walkways, Out In the Fields, The Loner, Over the Hills & Far Away, Affer the War...... so many great songs to check out by Gary

What a blessing it is to realize that a master has moved the air around you to bring you into his world!

Watching a master at his craft. Gone too soon 😢. RIP Gary

May you Rock In Peace forever Gary ❤❤❤

I love to watch his face as he plays, you can see every note.

Show him at the Royal Albert hall doing Parisian walk ways

He's so good. What a sound! Learned about him later in life. "How did I miss this guy?" Been a fan for many years now. Proper modern blues. Epic performance.

His cover of Red House live is awesome

That was a great reaction, thank you. I was lucky enough to see Gary live more times than I can remember. The first time that I saw him was in 1969! In my humble opinion Gary was the best guitarist ever to walk this earth. He could play any style he wanted to from Blues, Rock, Jazz-Fusion and even Neo-classical. Could you please react to Gary Moore Empty Rooms Live in Stockholm in 1987. Here is the link: kzread.info/dash/bejne/gmeYw9J9hKewqs4.html This was recorded in Gary's rock days and could be kind of termed as a rock ballad. His guitar solo in this is absolutely brilliant. I really hope that you will react to this and look forward to seeing what you both think. Kindest regards to you from. across the pond. 😊😎🎸🇬🇧🇺🇦

Midnight Blues is another excellent song by Gary Moore and the Midnight Blues band 👍

One of the GREATEST! Has so much feeling!.....Rock in peace ✌️

Recommendations for Gary Moore songs are Parisienne Walkways, Empty Rooms, The Loner, Still In Love With You, Midnight Blues, Military Man, Out In The Fields, Friday On My Mind

Legend

This is a man’s song. Sitting down with a Cuban cigar and big brandy 🥃

You gotta listen to his version of Roy Buchanan's The Messiah will Come Again from the same live show... Good to hear the Greeny Les Paul too

What a gift for humanity. Rock in peace. 💯❤️🇮🇹🇧🇪🇪🇺🎄

Check out another amazing Irish guitarist called Rory Gallagher. The song is called Bad Penny. Make sure it's the live at Montreux version. 10 mins of brilliance 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪 You will love it....

One of the all time greats. Have a look at his live duet with another one, BB King, "The Thrill Has Gone", Stunning.

El mejor solo de todos los tiempos.

Hi. I love you and Samantha"s reaction to Gary Moore' I've Still Got The Blues For You. Because you've never heard of him, he used to be the guitarist in the Irish rock band Thin Lizzy. After they split, Gary went solo. He's a phenomenal guitarist. I highly recommend you watch Parrisiesan Walkways. It's really really good.

Guys you want more Moore? I don't even know from what to start. First of all he had great career not only as i blues player, he had a lot of amazing rock career. List of song huge. OK, let's start. LONER 1987, EMPTY ROOMS 1987, OVER THE HILLS 1987, PARISSIENE WALKWAYS 1993, SHAPES OF THINGS 1984, SEPARATE WAYS 1990 and more more and more. Enjoy. You will never regret. Great singer and guitar God. His guitar playing not just playing. It's like singing itself.

Iconic legend 🎉🎉🎉🎉rip

Gary was really one of a kind, a few really demonstrate that passion and often improvisation playing live, which was really his trade mark. I say it again, with him it was HIM being the extension of the guitar, and not the other way round like it’s mostly said. You see it and especially feel it every time you see and hear him live. There is one hidden gem 💎 that you HAVE to check out if you wanna see this in mastery, the song is called “Separate Ways” and the recording is from 1992, just before he hit the road for his tour he played this “little” show in an Town and Country club in London, with especial appearances of Albert Collin’s and the one and only B.B. King! This song has a double guitar intro and is one of the most beautiful ones you’ll ever hear. And the there is of course his masterpiece and signature song “Parisienne Walkways”, although the lyrics were written by Phil Lynott from Thin Lizzy, one of his best friends btw., but it is HIS song and he played it until his death in 2011. The recording I recommend is one of his last performances actually, in 2010, and therefore exactly 30 years later on the same spot in Montreaux as this performance. That will also blow your mind,

You don't have to be able to play an instrument or even be a musician to know that this is AWESOME! Goosebumps, chills and all the feelings that he evokes in you!

Está en mi top 5 de mejores guitarristas de la historia...muy olvidado..en vida tuvo mucho éxito sobre todo en europa...lo disfruté y el dia que falleció fue muy duro ademas murio en mi oais España....la gente de 20 o 30 años no lo aprecian porqué no lo conocen es una lastima....

May I suggest "Gary Moore - The Loner - Live at Hammersmith Odeon"? This one really blew me out of the water when I first heard it! It's basicly an instrumental that is over 12 minutes long, but I guess by now you know that Gary only needs his guitar to tell a story...

Since y'all love solos and want more Gary Moore... Check out his performance of Parisienne Walkways live at Montreux from 2010. Look for the 12 minute video here on KZread. It is in my opinion his best solo ever recorded.

Gary is able to bring the soul from every note. Total emotion in every line. Phenomenal genius. The others can take lessons

Are you guys trying to impress me? First I saw Stevie Ray Vaughan then I saw Jeff Healey then I saw ZZ Top and now Gary Moore? Keep up the good work! You're right in my wheelhouse. This has been my shit my whole life. Play more blues. Check out Buddy Guy live. I would also love to see you play Joe Walsh and the James Gang. You guys are on a Groove

Gary the Belfast Boy best in the World.

Wow, I lived through this era and just took note of Gary from your video review. Impressive skills. Boggles my mind I hadn't heard of him before, but it's a testament to how many great musicians there were to listen to back in the day. Thanks for sharing this.

Thank you. This is my song and I will never stop listening to it. ❤️‍🔥👍💯

Gary Moore is without question one of the GOAT. Another GOAT. I am requesting is Frank Marino It's Begun to Rain Live At Agora Theater, yet again, and will continue to do so. This is an epic masterpiece of a performance by a virtuoso who composes, arranges and performs original music, and should not be overlooked. ✌️ ☮️ 🔥🎸🎶🎵❤️🇺🇸

Simply sensational!!!!!! RIP GARY great reaction guys keep on rockin

Glad you like mr Moore! Maybe you would like his guitarplaying on Thin Lizzy´s album Black rose aswell? It could be a good start for a "first time album reaction" if you would like :)

Story Of The Blues, live, Is another great track to go to next.

If you want to hear him do a different style, he rocks out on End of the World. The studio is good but the live is awesome.

I always liked this song, as well as my mom did because my brothers band used to cover this song. My brother played guitar in the band and my mom liked to watch him play this song. Sadly my mom passed away in 2012. Thanks for the memories.

It doesn't get any better.

there's a 10 minute video on KZread where Gary performs with B B King on the song the Thrill is Gone. The call and response between the two of them is incredible and it looks like they had a lot of un up there on stage together, the small audience that was in the club were treated to a magical performance.

More TRIUMPH.....................MAGIC POWER

What a great blues player!

I saw Gary in 77 when he was in Thin Lizzy on the Australian tour filling in for Robbo.

The most feel ever Period

One of my favourite blues guitarists. The only modern record that reminds me of his playing is 'Epilogue' by Lovebites.

This is one of those rere instances where this live version is perfectly on par with the studio cut.

the Les Paul hes playing there is one of the busiest guitars in the world.before Gary it was owned by Peter Green (Fleetwood Mac) and is now played by Kirk Hammett (Metallica).

Great choice guys. Love your channel and watching you 2 experience great music. You need to check out 2 other great Gary Moore songs, both with Phil Lynnot of Thin Lizzy, both from Ireland. They are OUT IN THE FIELDS which was loosely based on the troubles in Northern Ireland and Parissiene walkways. Both fantastic songs with fantastic guitar solos. Thanks for your channel guys. Neal Belfast.

A god amongst guitarists

one of the all-time classics if you're a blues fan!!

Another great one from this show is "Texas Strut". Also "The Loner" from Stockholm 1987 kicks some butt.

You guys must react to Gary Moore with Thin Lizzy playing Roisin Dubh at the Phil Lynott tribute concert in Dublin. Absolute mindblowing!!!!!

He could just make that legendary Le Paul scream He was damn good

If you haven't done it yet you should listen to Parisian walkways with solo and improvisations. It is pure instrumental I think it's at the same place he's at on this song if I'm not mistaken.

Moore was born one of five children of local concert promoter Robert Moore and housewife Winnie Moore. Thanks to his father's profession, Moore grew up listening to music from Irish bands, playing live and country, rock and pop music of the era. He performed for the first time in 1958 at the age of six. Dressed in shorts and standing on a chair to reach the microphone, he sang a song called “Sugartime” with the show band.[2] In 1962, when Moore was 10 years old, his father bought a guitar from a musician. This was a large acoustic guitar from Framus. The strings were very hard, difficult to tune and the guitar was therefore very difficult to play. Yet Moore managed to master a number of Shadows songs in the first week. He taught himself some chords with the help of a book, watched other people play guitar, listened to records and got the feeling of playing the guitar. Although he was left-handed, he started playing with a right-handed guitar simply because he saw other guitarists doing the same. A year later, Moore performed under the name “Little Gary”. Two years later, in 1965, he played in a band called “The Beat Boys” in his father's club outside Belfast. Later they played in hotels and ballrooms and in terms of repertoire they basically played whatever the audience wanted to hear. Moore released his first solo album in 1973 as the Gary Moore Band. In 1979, with the help of Phil Lynott, he started a real solo career. The combination of Moore's guitar playing and Lynott's voice produced the single "Parisienne Walkways" (from the album 'Back On The Streets'), which reached the British top ten in April 1979. After a series of solid rock albums, Moore returned to the blues with the album Still Got the Blues, featuring contributions from B.B. King, Albert King and Albert Collins. This album was a tremendous success. Moore stuck with blues until 1997, when he decided to experiment with modern dance beats in A Different Beat. This misled many fans, and also the music press. With the album Back to the Blues, Moore finally returned to the familiar blues pattern. His most recent album is Bad for you baby. Moore died at the age of 58, while on holiday[1] in a hotel in Estepona, Spain. Moore lived in Brighton and had four children.

This guy was incredible. As an amateur guitar player, I wish I was even half as good.
