While Gary Moore was always well-respected among his peers, he never got the attention or recognition he deserved. He's a Top 5 - maybe Top 3 - all-time guitar hero in my book.
I think Downey is a more technical than most guys kind of drummer, but not too technical that it gets in the way. One of my favourites too. His drum solo in bad reputation is probably my favourite of all time. Not over top, just right.
Ianthebassist yes, "Bad Reputation" has got awesome drum works on it, the Brian "Razz-Ma-Tazz" Downey sound, reminds me here of Mitch Mitchell, so I call Brian "the Irish Mitch Mitchell"
are you kidding? Underrated? He is the guy who played guitar in thin lizzy!! Where I come from(Austrian alps), Everyone here knows he is one of the greatest guitar plyers of his generation and was also the axeman in Motörhead. They named our school after him (in the 70s already). Underrated no way...
@@MrMrh1958 You are 100% correct Burton and I made a complete Jack Ass out of myself. lol I admit it. I mixed them up a little. Thank you for getting back to me. So, you are right about Brian Robertson as the Guitarplayer and being underrated. Cheers
LOL Oops Wolfgang! One of the greatest drum solos I ever witnessed was from Brian Downey. I saw Lizzy 11 times! Brian Robertson was ridiculously under rehearsed for this gig
Brian Downey,the most underrated drummer in rock,he was solid as a rock & had an internal metronome that had/has no equal.I've listened to studio cuts against live cuts.... He was rock steady, never missed a beat,no wonder Gary Moore loved playing with him
Agreed, Also Phil was not considered really a bassist because such a brilliant songwriter and lyricist... I think he started out on guitar just writing songs, then switched to bass out of necessity... Let me tell you, as a Producer/Engineer. Very few guys can play bass with a pick and not rush the tempo and keep the groove... Phil is Brilliant with Brian on the Kit, I have been chastised here on UA-cam comments saying how underrated Phil and Brian are as a backing section. They laid down the perfect groove, just behind the beat so the "Shredders" on either side of them "Could Shine", there were many. Eric Bell, originally, then, Gary Moore, Robo (Brian Robertson), John Sykes, then the American, very underrated (Scott Gorham), and even Snowy White on the last tunes was awesome. All Excellent ! It takes a strong leader, someone "Comfortable in his skin" and confident to let the songs go where they go and just "Lay it down" , Phil, Gary RIP......
I live in Brighton, about two miles or so from Gary's grave in Rottingdean, I visit it a lot, it's nice to sit there listening to the birds singing and having a chat to Gary! This might sound a bit deranged maybe, but when you're actually sitting there it seems quite natural to have a one sided chat to a man who left this world far too early!
Snerper. What a wonderful message. Why deranged ??? You read like a wonderful soul. Keep going to Garys graveside. I'm gonna go soon too. A man who left this world wayyyyyy too early
Yes Indeed, very underrated in the USA, really only known for "The Boys are back in town" on classic radio.... They delivered so much more before and after that and most of the EU, knows!
Man oh man, what a performance of a great, and I mean GREAT song. Chills at how good it is. What a pleasure to see Gary invite Robbo and Scott and Bryan, together, blasting out with such talent and precision. I miss Gary to no end...
Can we just talk about how incredibly well mixed this is for a live recording for a second? They even went so far as to iso Gary in the left ear and Robo is in right.
@tomhipchen9507 Great call man. I must be a left eared person; cause Gary sounds a little better than Robo. Both are great but Gary's in my top 3 all-time.
Robbo and Gary on the same stage at the same time, the 2 best guitarists in Thin Lizzy (sorry Scott & Eric, but its true) - THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
No need to say sorry because you are wrong. I like Robbo but I would take Scott over him as he has played tasty leads and is more fluid and creamy in his solo work. He is also a team player. His solo in Still in love with you Live in Sydney was pretty damn good. Gary was the best and you could see Scott loving his time on stage with him.
Noyce has about the hardest job there - piss-easy bassline, without any of the vocal Phil had, watching three ex-members of Phil's band. He's totally top class!
Always loved this song. Love the whole Jailbreak LP. I'll never understand why the industry forces music into these narrow boxes. Hard rock. Metal. Punk. Death. Doom. Thrash. Alternative. Indie, etc. Then the younger musicians follow suit to the categories. Then their fans. Then the venues. Before you know it, guys are more worried about which Hot Topic patch of ripped T-shirt swatch they are going to pin to their denim jacket, than they are enjoying and honoring great undefined music like this. Montrose, Moore, Fripp, Beck, B. Campbell. Fuck now time is starting to take these guys from us. They can never be replaced.
+SouthOCmixdown Always chuckled at the intro to this on the live album... 'Are there any girls here with any Irish in them? Are there any girls who'd like a little more Irish in them?...... Emerald'
That lick GM ripped from 3:23 - 3:26......3 seconds of proof the man was not of this Earth. Robbo's licks towards the end sound a lot like his playing on the Live and Dangerous recording of this song, it was really great to hear. These two are my kind of legends.
Gary was an absolute BEAST! Rest well my Friend. And what can you say about the legacy of Thin Lizzy? What a Band! One of the all-time great hard-rock bands, IMHO. Love the songs!
I feel truly blessed to have seen Gary twice and Thin Lizzy twice here in the United States. Gary never made it real big here for some reason, so seeing him twice {Victims of the future and Wild frontier tours} makes it even more special! Best hard rock guitarist ever.
Yet another LEGEND has left us, i grew up just up the road from wer Gary was from wot can i say the man is a LEGEND and his legacy will live on forever R.I.P Gary you will be soreley missed
great tribute to the legend that is phil lynott emerald was always a great track gary sings the song great and his and robertson's guitar magic a 10 out of 10 performance wish phil and gary were still here both gone way too soon
Gary Moore is one of my top 10 guitarists. I can't pick one. But he is badass to the bone with that Gibson,plays it like it's supposed to be played! Rest in peace!
1:20 this guitar riff makes every nerve in my body tingle. This song is just incredible. Especially the way the Riff builds into the solo later in the song.
The group had an array of brilliant guitar players throughout the years that they were together as Thin Lizzy. For the record the "Rock n Roll HOF" is insane to not have inducted this ground breaking group of musicians.
Travelled from Sheffield for this gig and more importantly the unveiling of Phil's statue on Harry street.spent time with Phil's mum at white horses.A magical time.RIP PHILIP , PHILOMENA. AND GARY.❤🎸💕
I'm 57 and lived and loved decades of rock music and there are many a good band out there today but when you look back at artists as tight and professional as these I consider myself lucky to have seen the best .
Watch/Listen to Robbo on 1:47 to 1:48 . That's why Thin Lizzy is so great for me. I can recognize Robbo's sound anytime.. Of course because of Phil and all the other members. Listen to Wildhorses ( Jimmy Bain and Robbo ) . It's the closest you can have to a Lizzy Album. His tone for me is the best in the world of rock n roll.
Phil Lynott's bass playing added an extra to this piece that is just missing in this version, as enjoyable as it is. RIP Mr Moore, you were very underrated.
Robo Rocking the '73 deluxe here and actually "Staring down his Mate" Gary, I love this interaction.... Totally Thin Lizzy, take no prisoners vibe.... Gary has some fast runs ... but come on, Robo delivers true Blues rock vibes on his end solo riffs... Thanks so much for uploading this Gem of a live performance. My heritage is from the Emerald land, Ireland, and how this song brings in the Celtic melody is totally Phil Lynott's blood flowing through this... Where is this "Deep Rooted" music now, maybe a bit from Nashville, but even they have gone pop, hip hop... The real deal here.
In Thin Lizzy, when Robbo and Scott were in the band they didn't cross swords and "duel" It was a musical partnership, a partnership that worked brilliantly as there were no ego's, no competition to flood the solo spot out with more notes than the other guy. Robbo and Scott style wise were completely different yet they always complimented each other musically when they approached their guitarwork. What you witnessed here is the very reason why Gary Moore never really fitted in with what Thin Lizzy needed. He just couldn't resist showing how technically gifted he was - and he was - yet in Thin Lizzy at least that wasn't a plus point, it was a minus. What they needed was someone who "got" what the song was about and tailored their guitaring to compliment it. Scott and Robbo got Phil's songwriting from day one. They just had it. Gary never really did. Put it this way, when we listen to what he did here, throwing in everything but the kitchen sink, would we like to hear that solo work on the original Emerald track on Jailbreak or the solos that Robbo and Scott laid down originally? I know who I'd rather listen to any day of the week. Gary Moore once said about Scott, that he reminded him of what "feel" was all about when he listened to Scott's solos. Gary never really learned though. Pity he never put it into practice. You just knew before you even saw this clip what was going to happen. Robbo would be hung out to dry while Gary would go one one of his endless "look at me - look what I can do diddly diddly squeak squeal solos that killed the song really - and not for the first time. Hendrix never played as fast as Moore but does that make Gary the better guitarist........? Give me Robbo and Scott any day of the week. Its funny how their lineup is always voted as the best in Lizzy's history by the vast majority of fans. Gary barely gets a look in, for all his talent yet the penny never really dropped with him. Thanks for the memories Robbo and Scott. You truly were a bit special.
the crowd could have given robbo a bit more of a cheer I know hes not what he used to be but he was the best guitarist in Lizzy,so show the man respect think how many awesome solos he laid down with every note counting.

So many good players but Gary is definitely in that mix !

@anneominous7172 absolutely ! He was really really good ! 🎸
Gary Moore and Rory Gallagher definitely 2 of the best ever.And sorry but Robo was a bloody genius too..
He’s the best ever. Enough said
Philip Lynott , Gary Moore , Thinlizzy, thanks for the music.
Brian Downey keeps everything clean and tight wwhat a great drummer, it proves you don't have to be super technical just a great feel.
I think Downey is a more technical than most guys kind of drummer, but not too technical that it gets in the way. One of my favourites too. His drum solo in bad reputation is probably my favourite of all time. Not over top, just right.
Eddie Thomas Downey plays here this amazing bass drum flicks, he should have more respect nowadays than those arrogant Lars Ulrich guys
Ianthebassist yes, "Bad Reputation" has got awesome drum works on it, the Brian "Razz-Ma-Tazz" Downey sound, reminds me here of Mitch Mitchell, so I call Brian "the Irish Mitch Mitchell"
Totally agree, those celtic tribal like rhythms that no one else has matched, and of course bad reputation...Incredible! 👏🏻😌🎼🌟
@@ianboylan1981 yeah the his drumming in that track is the best i eva heard !
Brian Downey
is so underrated!

Where I come from(Austrian alps), Everyone here knows he is one of the greatest guitar plyers of his generation and was also the axeman in Motörhead. They named our school after him (in the 70s already). Underrated no way...

wolfgang rittner No , I said Brian Downey is underrated!
LOL Oops Wolfgang! One of the greatest drum solos I ever witnessed was from Brian Downey. I saw Lizzy 11 times! Brian Robertson was ridiculously under rehearsed for this gig
I was there- Gary Moore ran this show from start to Finish
So sad we don't have Maestro Moore no longer.
RIP Gary Moore.
Masterclass to the end.
Lucky you, from all the videos is looks like it was a terrific night.
gary moore... the single best guitar player ever
@@stephenjeffares1471 As much as I agree that Gary was right up there with the best, he wasn't 'the best'. Sorry he just wasn't.
Saw him twice with Gary Moore band in early 80s... Had no idea who he was... Until after I saw him.
DAMN this song blew my mind in high school, enough to make a Thin Lizzy fan!! RIP Phil and Gary Moore....
Brian Downey,the most underrated drummer in rock,he was solid as a rock & had an internal metronome that had/has no equal.I've listened to studio cuts against live cuts....
He was rock steady, never missed a beat,no wonder Gary Moore loved playing with him

This might sound a bit deranged maybe, but when you're actually sitting there it seems quite natural to have a one sided chat to a man who left this world far too early!
why was Gary buried there when he's from Belfast
Most of his family now live in Brighton, they probably wanted him near them. He was only 16 leaving Belfast.
Snerper. What a wonderful message. Why deranged ??? You read like a wonderful soul. Keep going to Garys graveside. I'm gonna go soon too. A man who left this world wayyyyyy too early
I read somewhere it was Gary's choice to be buried there not far from where his family live now. There's a video on youtube of his resting place.
Rooingdean
I found lizzy as a 17 yr old,now 68yrs young and they are still the best rock band ever. R.i.p.the boys we lost.
Yes Indeed, very underrated in the USA, really only known for "The Boys are back in town" on classic radio.... They delivered so much more before and after that and most of the EU, knows!
Ridiculously excellent. There was so much talent in the 70s and 80s which has never been surpassed.
Wow! Every time I hear Gary I’ll feel sorry for those that call todays noise music.
I love watching older guitarists really enjoying themselves on stage when they do these tributes etc. Well played Eric.
Now a Tribute to Gary Moore and Phil Lynott. What a loss..
Gary one of the greatest guitarists ever!!! Brian holding his own as they destroy this song. Amazing performance!!! RIP Gary Moore.
R.I.P Gary we miss you ..and .. Phil Lynott
One of my all-time favorite songs by the great Thin Lizzy....👍👍👊👊 just a great song... RIP Phil Lynott & Gary Moore....
Man oh man, what a performance of a great, and I mean GREAT song. Chills at how good it is. What a pleasure to see Gary invite Robbo and Scott and Bryan, together, blasting out with such talent and precision. I miss Gary to no end...

Spot on mate
@tomhipchen9507 Great call man. I must be a left eared person; cause Gary sounds a little better than Robo. Both are great but Gary's in my top 3 all-time.
even brian with a small drum kit hes still the king on the drums amazing drummer
Gary and Robbo sharing the same stage and killing it! Brian Downey is such an under rated drummer
By who?
Another idiot who doesn't know what underrated means
Robbo and Gary on the same stage at the same time, the 2 best guitarists in Thin Lizzy (sorry Scott & Eric, but its true) - THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
Eric Bell sounds fantastic.
Scott Gorham
No need to say sorry because you are wrong. I like Robbo but I would take Scott over him as he has played tasty leads and is more fluid and creamy in his solo work. He is also a team player. His solo in Still in love with you Live in Sydney was pretty damn good. Gary was the best and you could see Scott loving his time on stage with him.
Yeah they’re the two for me.
I adore this song and what a gem of a song and arrangement. The energy is unmatched.
Well said.
Also a big respect to the bass player...!!
Noyce has about the hardest job there - piss-easy bassline, without any of the vocal Phil had, watching three ex-members of Phil's band. He's totally top class!
Is he in Jethro Tull?
TJARK KUEHL yes
Jon Noyce was in Jethro Tull. When they made this DVD, he was in Gary's band.
He's a good bass player but lacks stage presence.
Gary Moore music will live forever!!! 🤘👍Rest in peace master of guitar. 🙏
The guitar sound is so amazing. Moore and Robertson are incredible here.
Never guitar duel Gary Moore without expecting to walk off stage to the sound of your own footsteps.
Hmmm.
Check out Brian Robertson guitar work on "Johnny" 1976 peele session and then listen for the footsteps
you talk shite glynn garner
@James Mcconel scottish?
@James Mcconel who was beat?
@James Mcconel no way.
The greatest rock and blues bands ever and I saw them at Reading festival in 83 in happier days
No one mentions Brían Downey who is just such an huge contributor to making the Lizzy sound.
What a fantastic line up. World class rock guitarists playing timeless rock songs. Rest in peace Phil and Gary. Gone but by no means forgotten.
What a legendary song .tribute to the legend himself ..performed by the living legends at the time ..RIP Lynott and Moore
I understand that Robbo has issues and is hard to get along with but he's still one of the finest guitar players to ever strap one on!
Yes indeed
I also found out that. So sad. I only can remember him how he was back then...💝
Always loved this song. Love the whole Jailbreak LP. I'll never understand why the industry forces music into these narrow boxes. Hard rock. Metal. Punk. Death. Doom. Thrash. Alternative.

Jailbreak is a great album. So many underrated tunes on that
Gary Moore was a incredibly gifted guitarist. This whole show is a fantastic tribute to Phil and Thin Lizzy. RIP Gary Moore.
Gary really was so good...such a shame he's not around.
Ehh maybe better than really good ;)
@frankrichards3089 really 'so good'
Both of them are up there jamming now, rest in peace phil and gary❤️
Two greatest Angels in HEAVEN!. GOD bless the loving memory of PHIL & GARY!.
Look in the eyes. Gary is completely into this, Robbo acted like a guest. Still kicks ass.
Duh.... He was guest! And tore it up too!
Robbo is great and he is a survivor a true rocker ! all this concert is just awesome !
That lick GM ripped from 3:23 - 3:26......3 seconds of proof the man was not of this Earth.
Robbo's licks towards the end sound a lot like his playing on the Live and Dangerous recording of this song, it was really great to hear. These two are my kind of legends.
Disagree - 3:30 is blowing my mind even more. absolutely insane
And that vibrato is epic.
More notes in three seconds than I can play in 3 minutes.
Gary was an absolute BEAST! Rest well my Friend. And what can you say about the legacy of Thin Lizzy? What a Band! One of the all-time great hard-rock bands, IMHO. Love the songs!
Absolutely the Best Live Recording of this song
such a guitar driven classic that you never get sick of......MOORE was a beast on the axe....
I feel truly blessed to have seen Gary twice and Thin Lizzy twice here in the United States. Gary never made it real big here for some reason, so seeing him twice {Victims of the future and Wild frontier tours} makes it even more special! Best hard rock guitarist ever.
If there's a player you don't want to have a dueling solo spot against, it's probably Gary Moore.
+moreblack Okay, but he has na inner feeling like this: I'm not the best guitarrista Lizzy ever had :(
dont worry about robbo, i think he can handle it
Really, I would have dreamed of that.
he can also handle motorhead so yes he can !!!!
michael schenker ?
Yet another LEGEND has left us, i grew up just up the road from wer Gary was from wot can i say the man is a LEGEND and his legacy will live on forever R.I.P Gary you will be soreley missed
great tribute to the legend that is phil lynott emerald was always a great track gary sings the song great and his and robertson's guitar magic a 10 out of 10 performance wish phil and gary were still here both gone way too soon
Gary Moore & Robo!
Two of my all time favorite guitarists. ❤👍
Great!! Old rockers never die, they remain on youtube for ever!
That's what I call a guitar duel!! Robbo is such an underrated guitarist, and Gary... Well, we don't have to describe him
R.I.P. Gary...great rendition of this famous Lizzy song with Robbo!
Now a tribute to Phil Lynott and Gary Moore...
Gary Moore is one of my top 10 guitarists. I can't pick one. But he is badass to the bone with that Gibson,plays it like it's supposed to be played! Rest in peace!
1:20 this guitar riff makes every nerve in my body tingle. This song is just incredible. Especially the way the Riff builds into the solo later in the song.
God I miss Gary. I need to see this whole concert
This isn’t your first time… welcome back
His first albums are unmatched. What a player he was. Now he's jamming with Phil in the sky.
You mean Back on the Streets and his Gary Moore Band album from the late seventies?
Wish I was there. Legends recreating a timeless classic. Thanks for the memories! X
Gary Moore’s tone here is godly. Then again, when isn’t it. Just the perfect balance of amp, guitar, and mild effects. Mean. Just mean
the 2 guitar gods from thin lizzy !
I've been a fan forever and am only just watching this video now..
Apologies xx
Every time I hear Emerald live I'm always amazed how BD can replace the sound of the boron on his kit.
The group had an array of brilliant guitar players throughout the years that they were together as Thin Lizzy. For the record the "Rock n Roll HOF" is insane to not have inducted this ground breaking group of musicians.
Brian downey makes it look like anyone could play the drums what a genius
Minden nap meghalgatom és egyre jobban tetszik! Fantasztikus jó gitárjáték! Imádom!!!!
Robbo and Gary is so great together!!
Epic! Wish I were there! 🖤 Maybe most legendary live guitar duo ever!
The drummer is amazing
Just friggin wonderful. Breath-taking.
So fricken' talented, so frickin' toxic.......RIP, Gary Moore.......sad
Travelled from Sheffield for this gig and more importantly the unveiling of Phil's statue on Harry street.spent time with Phil's mum at white horses.A magical time.RIP PHILIP , PHILOMENA. AND GARY.❤🎸💕
3:08 is the coolest lick ever!
Epic drums and amazing guitar duel!!!
I really, really love this Song, the best of the best.
Awesome.Harmonies with the two guitars and wit the base.liked it.
How freakin' great is this?!!!
Thanks for the memories!!!
I'm belgian but I believe only an Irish can sing this song. The Great All blessed miter Moore and Thin Lizzy.
Love Gary's Guitar !!!!!!!
Outstanding live performance!
Absolute class from start to finish..
Wow...
That's all I can say about this.
...two world class guitarists.
🍀Thin Lizzy; Eireann's GREATEST band, ever.🍀
Phill Lynott, one of the finest ever!!
I'm 57 and lived and loved decades of rock music and there are many a good band out there today but when you look back at artists as tight and professional as these I consider myself lucky to have seen the best .
Watch/Listen to Robbo on 1:47 to 1:48 . That's why Thin Lizzy is so great for me. I can recognize Robbo's sound anytime.. Of course because of Phil and all the other members.

3:23 gary made sure he wouldn't be outdone
I actually think Gary held back. Great guy.
Very accurate timing
One brilliant song and one brilliant gattar player
6-2-2020 and this still fucken rocks, Party Hard Gary and Phil
A tough job being a guitarist on stage with Gary, most of us would look at the floor and wish it would swallow us up!
Great work chaps.
Robo Rocking the '73 deluxe here and actually "Staring down his Mate" Gary, I love this interaction.... Totally Thin Lizzy, take no prisoners vibe.... Gary has some fast runs ... but come on, Robo delivers true Blues rock vibes on his end solo riffs... Thanks so much for uploading this Gem of a live performance.

Where is this "Deep Rooted" music now, maybe a bit from Nashville, but even they have gone pop, hip hop... The real deal here.
All Lizzy fans should listen to Robbo's solo on the song Precious from the Wildhorses.
Great rock and roll. My favorite instrument …the guitar. Here dual guitar…love Thin Lizzy…..let’s vote them into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame
Credit to bassist and drummer. Solid RocknR!
God bless you! Hats off to you and your rock'n'roll soul!

Agreed 100% but Black Rose was a masterpiece.
TWO OF THE BEST RIGHT HERE!
Thin lizzy boys Kings of the duelling Les Pauls, awesome!
The unsung here here is the bass player, loads of praise for every one else but this guy is rock solid.
Amen to that and the drummer!
Great tribute. Wish I was there for this one. They nailed it!
proud to say i was their.
the crowd could have given robbo a bit more of a cheer I know hes not what he used to be but he was the best guitarist in Lizzy,so show the man respect think how many awesome solos he laid down with every note counting.
I agree. Not the same later, but don’t we all change, no matter what we do? Our heroes get older, too.
That is so perfectly put. Ribbon gives so much breathing space in his playing. Gary Moore on the other hand is above all
Phil’s vocals on this will never be beaten
