I am 63 and this is the first time I have heard the music of Gary Moore. I have been a SRV fan, and now I am a Mr Moore fan just the same. I grew up playing the organ. Whoa! 😲👍

I've always thought that Gary Moore is the greatest blues and rock player of all time! He could play any style and put so much feeling into whatever he played. RIP Gary.

Drinking my Red wine and enjoying my favourite guitar player. Monster, genius, own style, unique, feeling, emotive. No one sounds like Gary. Miss this guy... a lot.

His death was such a blow to me I reckon he is the best rock blues guitarist ever totally untouchable RIP mate

[alrivera]

I loved Gary his entire career, but as a Bluesman, he stole my soul. Nothing he ever did compare to his blues playing. This cover of JH's blues cut is fantastic.

[JeffJohnson-uwfi]

Gary was smooth and one of my favorite blues player … thanks again fil for a great analysis on one of the best

[RMGCBG]

Gary in my opinion is the greatest guitarist that ever lived. I have felt this way since seeing Thin Lizzy in 1976. My opinion has never wavered. He just screamed his soul out in every solo

[truckerdiablo]

Gary Moore is like Rory Gallagher. People who listen to music have never heard of them, but people who know music know how great these 2 Irish men were.

Who is better does not fit here, it is not a contest. Gary went on stage and brought the house down as he has done many times before. Say what you will, but on this night Gary Moore was a guitar savage that sent onlookers home with soiled trousers. One cannot deny that this man is a legendary beast of a guitar player. RIP Gary Moore, respect.

Thanks for your keeping Gary's music alive. Sure miss hearing his licks. He is one of the few that can do Jimi's music

[ezerlab]

I was there and I can tell you he was amazing and beyond. The whole Wembley Arena hold their breath back. Gary build up the tension and dynamic again and again. It was fantastic. You can check the DVD of the evening, the all star gala was phenomenal but Gary's and Gilmour's performances were really spot on.

One of my favorite players. This guy was a guitar monster and definitely one of the best blues and blues rock players ever!

I saw this on some Fender Anniversary special or something one night while flipping channels and was lulled into a coma before and after this performance. Gary came out and wiped everyone off the stage. Absolutely epic! I see there are people here saying he just doesn't equal Hendrix and my heart would have to agree. My 30 years as a professional musician, however, has to interject that Moore could play circles around Hendrix. Don't get me wrong, Jimi was incredibly innovative and a great songwriter but, as a player, he and Page trade back and forth for "Sloppiest All-Time". I'm sure a lot of that was the drugs and alcohol (for both of them) but Moore stands head and shoulders above Hendrix in ability, technique, precision, etc.. Just my two pennies. Cheers. P.S.: Oh, that vibrato!

[holomatrix]

I'm actually in agreement. This set, along with Gilmour on Strat 0001, has become legendary.
It's like covering The Beatles. You can try but you can never quite get there. This is probably one of the only ever examples I've seen, where someone covered Hendrix, and it actually worked. Glad to see that person, was Gary Moore. Just, amazing.

The man was incredible. I could listen to him play all day. I can imagine him, Jimi and Stevie jamming up in heaven. R.I.P.

Cheers Fil & thanks for always appreciating Gary’s music. as you say Gary playing and nodding to Hendrix while remaining Gary - i personnaly also hear Gary sending out a nod to SRV in this performance - SRV who also played some great versions of Hendrix. I had heard that Gary had not been invited to play this Strat evening and was called in at the last moment. Apparently he had also played with an injured thumb. 🤷‍♂️. Gary was in pure beast mode here…. the quality of the performance was unbelievable. Miss him so much.

Living in the South for 60 years of blues and rock players I can identify most of the heavy weights just by the sound. This is an excellent presentation of British blues. Gary's interpretation is fabulous. I like the freedom he plays with, I think is a bit looser than say Butterfield, another great British sound. Yet the Brits phrase pretty logically. I attribute it to the massive classical history of Europe. Hendrix cut his teeth on the Southern bar circuit in the early years and his playing of this song is so South in the near erratic phrasing within phrases but somehow making it back to the beat. It reminds me of what Townsend said after seeing Hendrix in London for the first time, "He obviously didn't know what he was doing." But sounded fabulous. I hear Texas blues fingerprints all over SRV and love it! Thanks for the great video, keep it up!

[beaumontlowenstein]

Just in my opinion, Gary Moore was the best guitar player ever!

[MrClassicmetal]

Moore could always blow you away from the start of a song when he wanted to. Great way to put you on notice immediately.

And that tone of his coming out of that Strat, along with that vibrato, is so good it's ridiculous. He was able to get the fattest sound out of a Strat.

Hendrix and Gary were both left-Handed...

R.I.P Gary, You're Still The Best...💯💔🙏
