A legend & never got the credit he deserved. I saw him here in Belfast around 30 ago, I was blown away, a fantastic gig back in his home city. Interesting fact, Gary was left handed, but his dad made him play right handed.
Meant to write I only went for a laugh as I never even knew who he was just that ally pally was on my doorstep . If I remember rightly Motown 25 was aired in tv the night before and people was talking about Mj moonwalk still whilst this video was about to be made 😂😁
OMG!!!! I thought I'd never see this video again in my life! This was the definitive moment that made me start playing guitar. I remember it like it was yesterday. I can't thank you enough for putting up this video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I remember back in 87' my guitar teacher told me to go buy "Gary Moore Victims of the Future"...when I played the cassette (lol) I was fucking blown away. For one whole year I'd. bring the cassette in and make him teach me almost every song on that album. I was obsessed with it...thanks for the memories man! Peace Bros'!!!
I ve been searching for this for more than 37 years it seems, more than a lifetime... based just on a Memory of a casette recording I did once of MTV on a Silver monophone player. I still remember the melody and the "soldier + tomorrow"... and I found it....
Is it not a cruel twist of fate that the truly talented pass amongst those who are unable to emulate their predecessor? One must link Gary Moore to that of Godlike status.............
Great cover! Way better than the original (The Yardbirds) both vocally & guitar. Sometimes I wish Gary Moore wasn't such a Guitar God because it overshadows his singing. Truly one of the greatest voices in Rock n Roll. Gone way too soon RIP
Vivid U-68 flashbacks!! The last time I saw this had to be 1987, just before I turned on channel 68 one night to discover it had been commandeered by a home-shopping network. I think my screams rent the very Heavens that night. I had forgotten Ian Paice played on this. Great post! Thin Lizzy remain of the greatest and yet most underrated bands of all time; too bad most rock radio stations only seem to know about three of their songs. R.I.P. Gary--I imagine you're up there jamming with Phil now.
I saw GM open for Rush for the Victims of the Future tour. I was so excited as a drummer, because I was going to see Neil Peart and Ian Paice in the same evening ... Unfortunately, as I found out just before the show, Ian Paice had left the band, as Deep Purple had reunited to work on what would become Perfect Strangers. The late Bobby Chouinard played that night instead.
Loved that Kerrang vid, Back in the day it was an event to have friends over to watch it & this is one of the many great songs on it. Alas it lives only in my memories now.
My mother bought me "Kerrang Video Komilation - 20 Rock Monsters" back in '85 and I remember when I saw this video for the first time that i thougth: "Yeah, the greatest guitarist in the world doesn't bother to put on some extraordinary outfit, he just plays and we are all spellbound!" And then i saw Ian Paice behind the drums and noticed that the greatest drummer in the world for sure looked like Henrik Ibsen:)) Great video - great memory!
simply the best rock song ever recorded pure power rips from those strings then to a slow melodic riff...a master....the girls on the other hand are hokey
Yes! It is edited - like you said the entire last section with those awesome, staccato speed picking runs are absent. Such a great solo - melodic and full of great chops! RIP Gary....
I think I have seen this only one other time in my life ( Im 50 ) lol!!! Gary Moore was so inspiring to me as a young guitarist in particular the solo on this cover of Shapes. Unfortunately this video version has a partially different solo with less tapping before the last verse kicks back in. Ergggh
@@Dingbotz As a guitar teacher and semi-professional musician for over 50 years, I like to believe that I know a little bit about guitar playing and I have never seen a better guitarist than Gary Moore. Of course, you are entitled to your opinion. However, your opinion is wrong! 😊😎🎸🇬🇧🇺🇦
@@stevehanham9266 Ill see your guitar teacher background (which is meaningless btw as there's lots of mediocre guitarists teaching) and raise you being a full-time pro guitarist for 20 years. Add to this there is not a SINGLE guitar magazine poll that had Gary anywhere near the top. Hendrix and Van Halen vied for top spot with the rest of the top ten being a mix of the usual names: Page, Beck, Vai etc. So you are entitled to think you're right but you are wrong.
@@Dingbotz You are a professional guitarist eh? Please send me some kind of link to enable me to check out your playing. Having made my living both teaching and as a working musician, I strongly resent your inference as to my abilities as a guitar player. As for guitarist polls, you have let yourself down there I'm afraid to say. Everyone worth their salt knows that Guitar Polls suck big time and are totally meaningless! You mention some really great guitarists and I certainly acknowledge that some of them were excellent. However, Gary Moore was just a cut above the rest. So, stick to your delusional opinion and have a nice life. 😊😎🎸🇬🇧🇺🇦
I never made any insinuation about your playing - just that being a guitar teacher means nothing as many, of not most, are mediocre guitar players. Likewise, being semi-pro or even pro doesn't meany anything as the terms are not specific in regards to quality of output. I just mentioned my pro history in response to you throwing down your semi-pro status as if it was deserving of respect. And no, guitar polls don't "suck big time". The odd one does but GFTPM, GW and Guitarist were consistent in their results and the lack of pushback against them (unlike the Rolling Stone tripe). Feel free to keep kidding yourself that Gary was ever rated one of the best ever. Even non-fans of these guitarists know they occupy the top spots: Vai, Van Halen, Satriani, Hendrix, Page, Beck, Clapton, Holdsworth, McLaughlim, Metheny, Johnson, Vaughn, Malmsteen, Jordan, King, Gilmour etc. Moore was never ranked near the top for his metal side nor his blues side and he was a technically limited player who resorted to cheap tricks to give the illusion of speed. By all means believe I am the delusional one but at least I am living in reality. Ciao!
Gary, like Phil Lynott, did not get the spotlight like others. In the 80's I remember really getting into his stuff but I new of nobody else that did. He did have his own heavy sound, he was not really metal but could sound like it and he was not a "pretty boy" or another "hair band" or wore tights so he lost out on getting air play.

you know your a real guitar player when Ian Paice plays the drums for you.💜and you know your a real drummer when Gary Moore plays the guitar for you.💜
I still love this song. Heard it when I was about 10 years old. 52 now up at 1.00 in the morning. Still rocking it!!
This is the song that made me love Gary Moore. Also love Still in Love With You, and many, many others. RIP Gary. :-((
GIVE EMPTY ROOMS A SPIN....
Gary makes this song his own and that solo wow.
Lol, I'm in this video. Me and a friend went along to Alexandra Palace where it was filmed. It was a fun day :)
what .. really ... wow wow!!
Aren't you a lucky one?
Me too it's the first time I have ever seen it I on my went for a laugh think I got paid £1 for my services lol

@@scotty2hottymykindapeople955 Hi, yes, we got paid £1.00.
I saw this guy at The Monsters of Rock in Germany back in 1984 and Wow he blew the place out....Rock on in heaven dude !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG!!!! I thought I'd never see this video again in my life! This was the definitive moment that made me start playing guitar. I remember it like it was yesterday. I can't thank you enough for putting up this video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow ... youre welcome
Robert William Gary Moore (R.i.P )🎤🎸😎👊
One of the greatest solos of all time!!! Gary you will be missed!!!
Video for my little Isabelle, Souvenirs from 1984...
Thank God for UA-cam, Gary RIP. God SPEED.
A song with one of the best guitar solos ever and then they cut it short... I'll go listen to the album version now.
What a song! Fantastic melodies. Such a talented musician :)
I remember back in 87' my guitar teacher told me to go buy "Gary Moore Victims of the Future"...when I played the cassette (lol) I was fucking blown away.

I come back to this vid at least twice a week.....
I just came across it I was one of the dancers ( the one in brown dress) forgot I even did this vid he was great bloke absolutely lovely 😊
Charlotte Mack Hey Ms.Mack you ROCK. God Bless you and Gary. He was MASSIVE!
The Mr. One and Only 🙏 I had my first time with him, 85 in Munich with Mama´s Boys as support.
That would have been a Fantastic show.🇨🇦
@@toddnimmock4851 Oh yessss
Legend!!!
I ve been searching for this for more than 37 years it seems, more than a lifetime...
based just on a Memory of a casette recording I did once of MTV on a Silver monophone player.
I still remember the melody and the "soldier + tomorrow"... and I found it....
Wow great story ... remind me on me how i searched for songs whre i had not a clue
I remember 95.5 KLOS used to play this jam in the 80's....man every time i heard this on the radio i would crank it up !!!
Gary Moore guitar legend!
NEVER HEARD THIS VERSION BEFORE! SMOKIN'!!!
June 27th, 1983, Allentown Fairgrounds, opening for Def Leppard
I haven't heard this in over 25 years. I always considered it metal. I still do.
Is it not a cruel twist of fate that the truly talented pass amongst those who are unable to emulate their predecessor? One must link Gary Moore to that of Godlike status.............
RIP BROTHER !!
Great cover! Way better than the original (The Yardbirds) both vocally & guitar. Sometimes I wish Gary Moore wasn't such a Guitar God because it overshadows his singing. Truly one of the greatest voices in Rock n Roll. Gone way too soon RIP
This song was on the very first album I bought by the Yardbirds.
Via a heavy rendition by the Jeff Beck Group just a year or two later

AMCmachine I remember this on U68 wow. It was on the power hour
With Filthy Animal Taylor on drums!
I miss these days. lml
Unbelievable guitar solo, one of my all time faves!....album version. This is a hack job.
Hes a good as anyone that's ever picked one up.
I saw GM open for Rush for the Victims of the Future tour. I was so excited as a drummer, because I was going to see Neil Peart and Ian Paice in the same evening ...
Unfortunately, as I found out just before the show, Ian Paice had left the band, as Deep Purple had reunited to work on what would become Perfect Strangers.

great song great cover, its been many years since i saw this version, awesome
R.I.P. Gary Moore
RIP Gary. I loved your music. Thanks!
I never saw this video
Awsome garys finest
Awesome finally found this video b
Man!!! What a blow!!...this brings a tear to my eye ...to hear so much energy , balls, passion and heart in this song...THAT was Gary Moore!!!!
Damn... I miss Gary.
Loved that Kerrang vid, Back in the day it was an event to have friends over to watch it & this is one of the many great songs on it. Alas it lives only in my memories now.
Whole album is great!
GARY WAS ONE OF THE BEST GUITAR PLAYERS OF ALL TIMES... R.I.P.
R.I.P Gazza.
Jam hard with Stevie Ray and Jimi! Heaven will be rockin with the Holiest of Holy!
Shit and we are left Bieber, Gaga, and Kanye....
Amazing
Sucks that they edited out half the song. ESPECIALLY the mind blowing 2nd half of the solo!
My mother bought me "Kerrang Video Komilation - 20 Rock Monsters" back in '85 and I remember when I saw this video for the first time that i thougth: "Yeah, the greatest guitarist in the world doesn't bother to put on some extraordinary outfit, he just plays and we are all spellbound!"

simply the best rock song ever recorded pure power rips from those strings then to a slow melodic riff...a master....the girls on the other hand are hokey
I haven't seen this video since it aired in the 80's on U68'S "Power Hour" in NY. Thanks man.
Great song by an great guitarist!!!!
Best song of the Victims Of The Future!!!
Bram
This reminds me of Jeff Beck's version from 1968.
R.I.P. Gary. One of the greats.
Yes! It is edited - like you said the entire last section with those awesome, staccato speed picking runs are absent. Such a great solo - melodic and full of great chops! RIP Gary....
The mix sounds different than the version on Victims of the Future too.
The Yardbirds sang that song also Rod Stewart with the Jeff Beck group in 1969
God that must have been a tough decision to cut the bridge short just for the sake of an MTV video. I would have cut out a verse or a chorus instead.
I agree, too much great guitar missing there. And his nod to his hero Jeff Beck with the slide... why leave that out ?
Yardbirds song from February 1966.
My man...
I think I have seen this only one other time in my life ( Im 50 ) lol!!! Gary Moore was so inspiring to me as a young guitarist in particular the solo on this cover of Shapes.

RIP Gary!!!!
Moore has died. May he rest in peace. :((
@2patero: a BIG "Amen" to that...
R.I.P
That'll be "Led Clones", from the After The War album. :)
Brilliant.
Greatest guitarist that ever walked this earth!
R.I.P Gary.
😊😎🎸🇬🇧🇺🇦
Not even close to being the greatest. i get that he's your favourite but that has no bearing on his standing in the annals of the guitar

@NoirHammer Same here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@chazhaz1000 You took the words right out of my mouth brother. Gary Moore was Simply The Best!! R.I.P. Gary. I just found out today he passed..
I place Gary right up there with Randy Rhodes and Ed Van Halen any fucking day..>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Auch einer von der Sorte die uns viel zu früh verließ. Was hätte er uns noch die Ohren Musikalisch reinigen können.
this is heavy metal -
Gary Moore is king!!!
They cut the best part of the solo!
Beck and R. Steward did a version. Yardbirds was the original.
Greatest solo maybe EVER. RIP.... a great player, a great guy
What is this version? The solo is like two times shorter from the real one !
U68 rules!!!
Guitar solo was cut
Bummer
It’s a real great shred at the point where they cut this.
Dr Licks brought me here...
Great lead guitar work, but did Pat Benetar choreograph this video?
I think I like Beck and Stewart’s original, but I do love Moore
Never saw this
Jeff Beck/Yardbirds
Aww they cut the lead
They cut out the best portion of the solo.
fucking amazing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IAN PAICE FTW!!!
Gary, like Phil Lynott, did not get the spotlight like others.
In the 80's I remember really getting into his stuff but I new of nobody else that did.
He did have his own heavy sound, he was not really metal but could sound like it and he was not a "pretty boy" or another "hair band" or wore tights so he lost out on getting air play.
the best guitarist on the planet
They left out one whole section of his solo
Cut the solo
Didn't need the dancers.
Haha I was one of the dancers lol was fun being able to listen to him
Great song but the chicks doesn't fit in :-)
Haha I was one of those chicks lol was such a fun vid to do
