Saw him circa 1985 on his Corridors Of Power tour here in America, at the time his song End Of The World was getting a lot of radio play, he opened for Dio at that show, good show to he was a strong opening act, glad I can say I got to see him back in the day.

Du hast vollkommen recht! Seine Töne sind wie Blumen❤ die nach Liebe riechen.....besser wie viele die nach Ihm sehr populär wurden! Mehr Tiefe ......
Gary was a musician in a whole league of his own. He could play almost any style and he did it flawlessly. Great talent gone too soon. R.I.P Gary Moore.
Gary will always be one of my 5 best guitarists of all time.
George Harrison once said that Gary may have been the best guitarist he's ever seen. And we all know who Harrisons best friend was/ is E.C. Harrison said he was working on a song that required technical speed. "So, I went around the corner from my house to Garys and asked him will you play on this" ? And he did.
There can never be another guy who could do it all with style and feel
He was the BEST ❤ I feel the emotion and perfection in his playing.

Empty Rooms was a brilliant song
I never knew him but a friend was often his sound engineer on later projects. I am told the remarkable thing about him was that he never hit a wrong note. Just didn't happen. Or a badly timed one for that matter. Then back in February 2011 I was on the waiting list for a new amplifier, a then fairly new and highly sought after Tweed knock off called a Jazzy J 20 (fabulous amps btw). Jesse who builds them had me on what was then a three month wait list but my delivery date got set back twice, firstly because "Francis could you wait another week, Jeff Beck wants one next week for a new project". OK, for Jeff Beck... Then it was "Francis could you wait another week because Mark Knopfler wants one next week for a new project" (Jesse builds about one a week). OK, for Mark Knopfler already... Then the sadness a week later. "Francis your amp is ready. You have number 75. I was building it for Gary Moore and he passed away yesterday". So I have the amplifier he never played that he was going to use to record that album of Celtic Rock. I know I can never do it justice but I find it an inspiration all the same.

Absolutely brilliant guitarist 🙏
The best guitarist I have ever heard and seen, so fluent. I was so sad hearing of his passing I loved going to his concerts. Quinny
Gary Moore was such an incredible talent…
No question he was one of the greatest of all time. I often hear riffs (or passages) in a tune and just have to master them, even if that's all I work on in the tune. Toward the end of Still Got the Blues, he hits a phrase that I have loved since I heard it the first time. I will often just play that alone for 30 minutes or more just because it's so freaking beautiful.
One of the Greatest Electric Guitar Players all time¡ And Vocalist
He had a melodic intensity still unrivalled in my view although he was happiest in the blues and had a complete mastery of it by the end. Was in a class of his own regards the bases he could cover.
Have many of Gary's albums and DVD's! Love his music and definitely love his guitar style and playing. RIP Gary,Phil and Philomena ✌️❤️🙏
Probably one of the greatest guitarist ever

Gary Moore one of the finest guitarists to ever be born he had a rock and roll heart and a blues soul thanks for all the great music Gary gone but never will be forgotten RIP
Best guitar player ever!!! RIP Man. Thanks for the music
Brilliant no nonsense guitarist.
Visited Gary a few years back in Rottingdean..man he was one of the finest guitarists out there..RIP
Loads of great players for sure, but only one Gary Moore...
My personal favorite and the reason why I am still shredding at aged 60 ! R.I.P, my dear sweet man & genius ♥️!
When I heard "End of the World" the first time I was completely blown away. Gary Moore was a phenomenal musician- I was good with a guitar, very good. He was a prodigy. RIP, Gary- the world is a sadder place with you gone, but with the way things are going you are in a better place.....
Gary’s musician gift was heaven sent and a blessing to all who heard him. RIP
Gary was the goat
One of the best blues players ever.
He played an amazing rendition of Jimi Hendrix’s “Redhouse”. One, even Hendrix would have loved, for sure!
Saw him three times, i never saw such a powerful Player like him. Very sad, he is a legend.
I didn't know him. But the first time I heard him I wondered how someone so incredible had escaped me. His blues 💙
I've still got the blues when I listen to his music and remember the day that he passed away. As a guitarist, Gary Moore is one of my all-time favourites and a major influence, it hit me hard and took me some time to listen to him again without feeling sad. Funny how emotions and music reach you even when you don't personally know them. I wish I had seen him in concert or got to jam with him. The KING is gone but not forgotten!
He kicked ass opening for Rush in my hometown The Tacoma dome. In 84

A well researched and accurate tribute to Gary Moore's musical history, Gary has always been my guitar hero, thankfully I was lucky to see him live but never had the opportunity of meeting him, but living in Weston super mare I've spoken many times with his brother Cliff ( also a awesome guitarist) and Gary's sister. Gary Moore is so underrated he was never afraid to change musical styles and always followed his heart and not record sales. Sadly missed, his music will live forever RIP Gary ❤x
Gary will always be one of my favorite musicians, love listening still. Darkness in Paradise is an overlooked fantastic album. Gary was a Genius , Rest in Peace 🙏
First saw Gary play at a charity gig in Oxford (1990). He & Bernie Marsden had duel on stage…no competition…Gary blew him off the stage…you could see the smile on Bernie’s face.

Still my guitar hero. I have bought an amp from his estate and play it multiple times every week.
Great work with Thin Lizzy
My buddy in 82 handed my Corridors of Power and i have been a fan ever since. Its his best hard rock album IMO. Run for Cover is great too. The sad ass truth is, if Gary was a pretty boy like all the big rock/hair metal bands of the 80s he would have been a mega star selling millions upon millions of albums.

Gary was not a pretty boy, but he was a handsome man. I think he didn't make it big because of his honesty. He didn't play games, and he didn't kiss ass.This probably pissed people off in the music industry. There are a lot of big ego's in the music business.

Yeah, death is very sad, but when you've lived a rock star life for 45 years, been involved in several classic blues and rock recordings, loved and been loved, and died in your sleep, it's not really Tragic is it?

Nope! Lived the life of a rock and blues man. A year before he died I watched some videos of him onstage and I said to myself, He looks absolutely horrible and having seen my older brother and older booze hounds and how they looked right before they died. I said, this is going to end well. He died shortly thereafter.

What a legend guitarist
My great uncle was an alcoholic. The doc told him his heart would explode. Well he quit for awhile. Until he got with his drinking buddies. He was at his wifes work. By himself. His heart exploded. That was it. His wife found him. When she came back. Way back in 1982. I was 2yrs old then its a tragedy
He sure could make a guitar talk.
Great video, thanks for sharing
There's a small chance that I'm related to Gary. How cool is that?!!!
I babysat his son Jack when he lived in Shiplake a couple of times. Jack had really long hair for a 5 year old. So cute.
R.I.P. ☮️
this guy was one of the top 10 best guitarists in the world in my opinion. fantastic. player
To my mind he was the most "melodic" and thus romantic player. Even in his hardest solos you could find real music,not just a technique, what a pity he's gone😢
A grand fellah!
Listen to the Messiah will return , best playing from the soul 🎼🙏
Rip Phil And Gary
Saw him at the Shepherds Bush Empire in 1999 (or so), unbelievably awesome.
One of my top 5 of all time
The King is dead - Long live the King ❤
My favorite guitarist of all time. Oh how I miss him. So mad he killed himself with liquor. What a loss.
Love Gary! He could make a guitar speak to you!
walking in Paris with a certain song playing...
I happen to be from Ballsbridge. By any chance do you know the address of the bedsit they shared ? I never knew this. Around when was this ? This is a fascinating piece of information for me to find out at this stage of my life. I spent my teenage years listening to Thin Lizzy.
So sad Rip rock star !✌🏻
That last Group lynott & Moore were working on was going to be "Huge!"🎸 It's a shame Phil passed away 6 months after their Debut!
Para mi el mejor guitarrista el tocó diferentes estilos el mejor por siempre descanse en paz
Je l ai vu en concert dans les années 80.super. repose en paix.
Legand RIP 🙏 ✌️🤘🇦🇺
4:52 that's ironic because I often thought Gary and John Sykes would've made an incredible songwriting team.
Saw him live a few times. He was just a few months younger than myself.
Rest in pieces.
Baddest of the badd for sure.
Nice summary. Misses the contribution to Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Theme & Variations
Got see him as a opening act alone with Krokurs He played in support of Cordoors of power Def Leppard was ot in support of Promana they left my earsv ringing all 3 bands played great.O e of the best shows i have ever ben to

I've been there mate. Three hospital admissions last year, two of them seven nighters. It's easier said than done.
Lye-not? It's Linnit, innit? And for the record, in Ireland it's "Tin Lizzy" (it is a play on words)
I worked in an insurance company that was asked to give Phil Linnott life insurance (for a tour I guess). You could hear the laughter from the underwriting department all around the building. Apparently every organ in his body was destroyed. He died fairly shortly thereafter. I loved Thin Lizzy but drug/alcohol abuse is pretty stupid.
The sad part for me, was that like Clapton, he went back to Blues, and never really eclipsed "Still got the Blues" in any other genre. For me, Claptons work during the eighties was, like Moores more interesting than anything since. But then again, I liked to keep moving with each creative musical force that continued to blossom through the decades. And although those forces kind of fizzled out during the 2000s, there is still a wealth of music to enjoy from the past, and unfortunately for me, I do not include Blues within that spectrum. Maybe because I was forced fed it by my older brothers during the sixties. RIP Gary. You were a joy to watch whatever you played. And no. That Les Paul will remain in the States. Too much controversy there!! 🤔
Sure most Gary Moore fans will have bought and read the recent book you have just regurgitated all this info and pics shown. Opening statement of being an Irish guitarist, is contracted by next bit about him being born in Belfast Northern Ireland.

Death is not tragic within itself. Human experiences and misunderstanding of anothers life makes it tragic.
It's pronounced LINE-ott. Phil's mother herself has said this on numerous occasions.
