Gary was a 1 in a trillion musician. His guitar skills were insane and to me his melody, feel, dynamics and attack have never been bettered by anyone. I never saw him live even though he toured so much in the UK which i have regretted immensely. Earlier this year i had the chance to visit his grave to leave a guitar pick and say my thanks to him for his amazing music.

was lucky enough to see him play this when he did a double header gig with BB King in 2007. I just shut my eyes and just let the music wash over me. Utterly gorgeous. My wife cried her eyes out when he passed away. We saw him a couple of years after that gig at a tribute show at the Roundhouse in London where she managed to speak to him for a while. Lovely fella and sadly sadly missed. I still maintain to this day, I've never heard anyone who can make a Les Paul sound so anguished and heartbroken as this man could. Magnificent.

The "Parisienne Walkways" last live performance in Montreaux deserves your audiction.

Moore was such a virtuoso. His note striking is so pure, he made every note sound like an open string.

Gary Moore's virtuosity was just staggering. Almost makes one forget his singing was really good too. Parisiene Walkways, The Messiah Will Come Again (tribute to Roy Buchanan), his performance with George Harrison "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" miss the guy.

Never heard anybody play a guitar with so much passion RIP Gary

There are 2 types of "Blues" one is the music you play, the other is the Expression you get through your latter is by far and away the hardest to achieve, And when its done well like this track, it tears you soul to pieces.

[insulani]

He just got the most beautiful sound out of that Les Paul. And his voice is so soulful….

[erikmecom]

Gary Moore's version of Roy Buchanan's "The Messiah Will Come Again" Live at Montreaux 1990 is one of the greatest emotional guitar pieces ever played. Must Watch!

"The messiah will come again"
Is one of Gary's best songs live

What an incredible performance by the late great Gary. We still miss him. In Ireland we are proud of Gary and Rory. Two of the greatest 💚☘️💚☘️

That fast run at 8:16 has astounded me for years. Gary was truly a master of his instrument.

Nobody has that Gary Moore TONE! Incredible guitarist but that tone is what sets Gary apart.

[dorianponcela]

Gary Moore was and still is a Rock/Blues legend. Virtuoso guitar player, amazing singer, awesome composer... he had everything...

[JonnyDee]

The guitar world is an emptier place since his passing. Poignant, superb and spine-tingling. Gary was always my favourite rock player ever bar none and he always will be. Thanks for this, Doug.

[firestorm]

No one could play like Gary. He really was legendary.

[mikeenos]

Every time I hear this or watch it, I get the chills.. it is so good you can't get enough of it...
And when you watch him play it he becomes the guitar so much soul.. amazing every time
It's just one of very few songs that can be felt so much... can't describe it..

One of THEE best ever guitarist's ever ❤️😢❤

Gary Moore got a lot more respect and recognition in Europe than he did in the US. Proof of that he was invited to and played at the Montreux Jazz and Blues Festival many times. 😎🎸🎸☮️
