Gary Moores guitar playing cannot be matched, his passion in his playing is legendary... Rip Gary and Gay Byrne... Of course hes playing Greenie, now Kirk Hammets guitar...
What a brilliant rocking son, Paddy looked he was about to jump up and start of a guitar and about to let rip, This sing I think had a reference to Gary dear dear friend and blood brother Phil Lynott I still miss Gary Paddy and of course the greatest rocker of all times Phil Lynott
The thing about Gary Moore is that he had more heart than the metal players and more technique than the blues players and that's what made him so blisteringly soulful.
Picked up the guitar after listening to this song on chart attack 34 years ago in Abbasiya, Kuwait..now living in the same land this episode was filmed. RIP Gary Moore
That's what I was thinking, but I noticed during his solo that he has the neck pickup turned the right way. He apparently tried it like this for a while before deciding the magic was in the reverse pickup and had it switched back.
AMEN to that - - I've never heard this live rendition, great intro & interview by the host as well! Now I just need to check out some of his blues stuff also. Peace to you Pally!
If you wanna understand RARE, the neck pickup of the Greeny is actually NOT flipped here. That was just for a very short period of time when Gary was trying to figure out if he wants to "fix" the guitar or not.
A heart warming thing! seeing these awesome older Guys playing with Top notch Gary! and band this was Garys best work! mixing Celtic tunes with hardrock! in My opinion all hail! 10/10! as allways with Gary!
Wow what a gem, I just ran across this video for the first time. Gary Moore was one of my favorite guitarists and was very underrated. This video may be old, but it really put a smile on my face.
Is that Greeny's Les Paul? Tragic that we'll never see the likes of this again; The Chieftains are thoroughly enjoying themselves with a song practically made for them. Gary and Phil Lynott liked a bit of Irish legend and intrigue, but who doesn't. Gary was very savvy, flexible and intuitive. That's why he remained relevant and popular for as long as he did. If people wouldn't have expected this to work, it fecking did, because it's folk rock gone metal. That backing band are session musicians or Gary's boys? We can't ask Gay Byrne now (RIP).
@@michaelhanrahan5349 I had to Google "tautology" because of your comment. Thanks! Your comment is the best comment and the best comment is yours!!!! Lol
@@padraigsisk4057 wow, ain't that the guy that sings "Strength" ? I loved that song to death as a kid Oops wrong band, yea I love Big Country too. I'm not even Irish , but that song Big Country gives me the chills everytime I hear it. Thin Lizzy is my favorite ☺️
I see Neil Murray on bass and this was 1987? Neil played on the Whitesnake album at this point and then toured with the Japanese band Vow Wow around Europe, busy bass player
This was actually 1988. The giveaways being Neil Carter with short hair and that Gary had released the Wild Frontier album 'last year' (in '87). Gary and Neil went to Ireland at the beginning of '88 to start working on material for the After The War album, so this performance is possibly from around then? Neil Murray would, of course, join Tony Iommi and Cozy Powell a year later, in Black Sabbath.
Is that Neil Murray on bass? Following the Wild Frontier album (1986/87), Gary would produce After the War (1989) before leaving hard rock and heavy metal to play blues. His first blues album released in 1990 became his highest-selling record ever (Platinum). Got to see him live with Neil Carter in Hannover in Sept 1992 and I remember the venue was changed to the Stadionsporthalle. Gobsmacked at Gary in his new red waistcoat and blues songs but he was outstanding for fifty minutes. Gary's Greeny guitar, 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard, was front and centre on its stand on stage before Gary came on. I didn''t realise it was the Greeny until years later. Oddly, he used a drum track for the Wild Frontier album, but took Eric Singer (drums) and Bob Daisley( bass) on tour. RIP Gary.

Gary and Paddy, they contributed so much to our musical heritage. Great to see them immortalised together in this performance.
Neil Murray can be found in the background of countless awesome performances from countless awesome musicians.
Perfect song for St. Patrick's Day 2024. And a brilliant performance as well.

Gary with greeny rest in peace legend. He was and always one of the greatest guitar hero for me 😢
The lads are having too much fun!
It is said that there are some good guitar players, some great players and then there is Gary Moore 💔RIP, Gary 💔
👍

Yes, a musical giant that never ever will be again! But personally not so much, he kicked everybody in the balls who was with him!
R.I.P. Paddy Moloney of The Chieftains who sadly died 11/October/2021.
This is how this version should be played. THE BEST WAY TO REMEMBER IRISH MUSIC
RIP GARY MOORE WAS THE GREATEST GUITARIST IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND
Yes well said none
Aye, the most enthusiastic guitar players ever.Me thinks?
I am the greatest guitar player ever, fuckin
@@stuartmunro6027 F A I'M not sure you can play a guitar
@@NICKCAVE16 I play many guitars... All types and shapes
One of a kind! Missed all the way back from 2011
Picked up the guitar after listening to this song on chart attack 34 years ago in Abbasiya, Kuwait..now living in the same land this episode was filmed.
RIP Gary Moore
Gary Moore and The Chieftains. Pure gold.
So special
Oh my God! That was just fantastic! One of my favorite Gary Moore songs.
RIP GARY MOORE AND PADDY MALONEY ❤️
Gary was the best . ❤
Gary Moore in prime TV doing a live show, not playback. GOld times.
There is no word to describe how brilliant this is. But I’ll give it a go. AMAZING 👏👏👏🙌
R.I.P. Gary and Paddy.
Gary Moore making it look easy and doing it very well.
His music lives on! Will never be forgotten!
3:16... When Gary takes up the melody and Paddy Whoops.....PURE MUSIC..❤️❤️
I don't know why,but I feel this is heavier than any kind of heavy metal music,and I'm a die hard metalhead~
Gary was shredding at 18 years old, he was the best
Unlike most metal guitar wannabes of the time, Gary Moore was a true born and bred guitar badass. He knew how to blow people away.
this is priceless. The great GM singing and playing within himself in deference to Paddy and his band
The Guitar Legend with one of the Best Rock Song in History
i love how The Chieftains add 200% 'irishness' to songs
It's already very Irish, in fact the whole album has a celtic influence to it.
Gary Moore and the Greeny Les Paul, pure rock and roll
great live performance with the brilliant Chieftians.
R. I. P Gary Moore, Gay Byrne and Paddy Moloney.
I absolutely love Gary Moore. Yes, yes, yes he'll aways be missed.
he is dead but not gone.
Grey Fox he went over the hills 😉😂
Gary could play anything, great to see him here with Peter Green`s Les Paul guitar.
Kirk's a great guitarist, but I still don't think he's worthy of that guitar.
@@exdeus5940 I don`t think anyone who knows the history of it believes he should have it either. But he bought it far and square.
It's great seeing Gary play with 'Greeny'. R.I.P Gary, you're still missed.
That's what I was thinking, but I noticed during his solo that he has the neck pickup turned the right way. He apparently tried it like this for a while before deciding the magic was in the reverse pickup and had it switched back.
Is that Greeny? It looks like a different Les Paul cause it doesn't have the reverse neck pup.
@@RJW14 but you see the stretch under the bridge pickup
Rip to Paddy Moloney too
How can anyone not like this guy, LOVE YOU GARYYYYY RIP. He was ahead of his time. Just compare this with the theme from game of thrones.
Saw Gary on the after the war tour in March 1989 he was a true guitar hero sadly gone but not forgotten!
Magic!!
That middle part with all of them together from 3:11 onward... Amazing.
I don't mind Nightwish's version, but they can't touch this.
AMEN to that - - I've never heard this live rendition, great intro & interview by the host as well! Now I just need to check out some of his blues stuff also. Peace to you Pally!
Gary and the blues go together like Peter Green and the blues.
I beg to not differ
It's because Tarja sings it in falsetto, this song needs full voice singing
Gary wrote the song....his way is the best way !
Gary + GREENY = LEGEND
Masterpiece ❤❤❤
Music spans generations, religions, politics, countries and bring peace where there is war.
If you wanna understand RARE, the neck pickup of the Greeny is actually NOT flipped here. That was just for a very short period of time when Gary was trying to figure out if he wants to "fix" the guitar or not.
It's really difficult to say who is the best, but Gary Moore is surely one of the best.
Great performance ! He was a great singer and a great guitarist. He wasn't conceited like some musicians and he was always friendly !!!
Sadly not the case ,as brilliant as he was ,he could be arrogant sometimes and wasn't always friendly.
Putting aside comments about his personality he was a brilliant guitarist who passed away far too young.☮️🎸☮️☮️🏴🇺🇲🇺🇲🎸🎸
Powerful stuff completely on it what a performance wow😮
wow wow wow
That was unbelievable! A total master at work and I'm so glad I got to see him!
just brilliant there all having such fun .... lots of smiles .
Legend, total guitar genuis
Magic. Sheer bloody magic.
Neil Murray on bass !!!
And I think that’s Brian Downey on drums
It's the late Robbie Brenban on drums
This song changed me as a guitarist and as a man.Thank you Gary. We miss you.
A heart warming thing! seeing these awesome older Guys playing with Top notch Gary! and band this was Garys best work! mixing Celtic tunes with hardrock! in My opinion all hail! 10/10! as allways with Gary!

Neil Carter, Gary's longtime sideman on keyboards and Neil Murray on Bass.
@@JohnMurphyJF I love this song and seeing Neil on here is great!!

Beg to differ. Not saying Gary wasn't but my choice would be Stuart adamson

I loved that song to death as a kid
Oops wrong band, yea I love Big Country too.
I'm not even Irish , but that song Big Country gives me the chills everytime I hear it.
Thin Lizzy is my favorite ☺️
One of the most under appreciated guitarists of all time, utterly phenomenal player and song writer. Still missed dearly.
Underappreciated? Are you joking man?
