My mother loved Gary Moore, when she died aged 77 we played Empty Rooms at her funeral and they will be playing it at mine. Gary made that guitar cry, such feeling in his playing. I’m 66 now and he’s still my hero.
Gary Moore is one of the very few people that could make his instrument have a life of its own. His guitar became a tormented extension of himself which he bared himself for all to see, hear and feel. 🙏🥹♥️😎
I talk to young players now and say well he’s no Gary Moore……. and they all say ahhhh who?… Perhaps one of the most underated performers of all time. This man was a monster….. the tone he squeezes out of that goldtop is epic!!!!! R.I.P. GM
When people talk about guitar solos or lead guitar lines being "vocal-like," Gary Moore is probably the first person that comes to my mind. The man was one of the greatest to ever pickup the instrument.
The best blues players Ever no other I remember buying import albums in 70s how could any guitarist ever say no this guy played from his soul I cried when I first heard him a Phenomenon wow love Gary Moore
Its no a obligation (sorry for bad english) im not a músician, but the good music doesnt matter age even if they're guitarrist they must know him. Regardless, we can guide them as they want, because its not the lyric, IT IS THE FEELING WAS PLAYING to know was the Best for everey people!
I've been on this planet for 69 years.. how is is that I never heard of this man until two days ago? I was moved by this piece to the point that I was almost in tears. Never in my life have I heard someone play with such passion and eloquence of expression, and I grew up listening to the greats. Gary my brother, you played not only from your heart but from your very soul!
I am 73 years young/old. Last year I was listening to "The Tenors" sing .... "Angels Calling." I was and will always grieve for my son who committed suicide. Someone saw my post about "Angels Calling." and told me to listen to Gary Moore. I had not heard him. His emotionally charged music takes me to places where sadness dwells even more but yet I am drawn into the music. My son may have listened to him; I don't know. I pray that Gary Moore found his peace at last. I sit here and try to visualize my son in Heaven smiling .
I was at that Hammersmith Odeon gig! This was the last encore. I was 21 years old in 1987 and had only been in London a few months from NZ. Me and my now wife couldn’t believe how good he was. Bob Daisley on Bass, Ian Paice on Drums and Neil Carter on Keyboards/guitar/backing vocals. After this song everyone kind of ambled out…no one was going to yell for another song after that. He had just played his heart and soul out! Absolutely love this guy.
U guys in Europe were very lucky to catch him live...we at south east Asia never had the chance .he didn't tour this region....anyway I'm afew years younger than you...born in 68...
Mr Moore wasn't just a genius he played supernaturally. the sound of his guitar enters our head, goes down to the heart, runs through our veins and makes us feel goosebumps, his music makes us tears of sadness for not being here anymore. RIP Mr Moore. You're and you'll be allways my hero👏👏👏👏🤟
you're description of gary moore and his music are beautiful and so true grace...music was my first love,and gary moore fillsup a big space in this love.
@@melro23 Seth didn't say anything in regards to a comparison !! He simply said : Steve Vai once named Gary Moore as his favorite soloist. Reading comprehension has gone out the window since 1990, hope you're alright.
@@shanghunter7697 No. I say it in a good way :) Even Steve Vai is a very good guitarrist, I considere Gary Moore the best of all Because of his passion. I love steve Vai too but Gary Moore is another level :) I know what Steve tried to say, and for that reason he is a really good guitarrist.
@@melro23 Whenever you hear he plays the guitar, Gary Moore was actually singing the song and the melody through his guitar. That is why he is no comparison with any great guitarist in the world.
I love this rendition. He knows just what notes are important and plays only those notes while nurturing each note to its full glory. The pauses are timed just long enough for your ears and brain to fully appreciate while still being in perfect company with the rest of the notes. I've lost track of how many times I've listened to this particular upload before I have commented. RIP Gary Moore
These were the longest 12 minutes of my life. So many emotions came rushing all at once Gary moore is no human, he's a celestial being with super powers that allows objects to interact with humans And this guitar cried like a baby out of the womb.
E impressionante como gary, conseguia trazer tanto sentimento na guitarra e conseguia definir e explicar emoções sem ao menos dizer uma palavra, um grande guitarrista que não e tão citado tendo marcado o blues e o rock de uma maneira unica, descanse em paz Gary moore.
Gary Moore was one of the very very few that could make a guitar truly sing. Hendrix, Gilmour, Santana, etc. His playing will always live on in all of us.
I'm 47 years old, I grew up listening to this gentleman, thanks to his songs and others too, I love guitars almost since I was born. He is no longer with us but will live on in our hearts. Your songs will live forever. Thank you, Gary, wherever you are. 🙌🙌🙌
The only guitarist who could transport his soul to the guitar & make it weep, cry, laugh & love to the core. One man army. No one can fill the vacuum he left behind. We miss you, come back if you can. We are waiting, we are crying.
My idol. What a player, what a sense of melody he had, his playing was stratospheric he really dug deep and wrenched every note out of the guitar, such a pity he didn't look after himself better in later life, what a loss to all his fans, friends and family. Gary you were loved and so admired ❤ by so many, then now and forever Rock in Peace, Legend 🤘🏻
Yes sir. This is my hero. No word can express how good Gary sound.correct?.....just enjoy the sound. That is Gary is on my personal list of the best guitarist of all time. Just my list..... hehehe...since everyone's list is different.
Becoming lost in this, I suddenly realized I was crying ... a dead man's last tear. Not of sadness, you understand, or dismay. Rather as aware the depth of time gone by ... a hundred thousand generations of which we are each but a fleeting shadow, the mere blink of an owl's eye, a singular stage of transformation, nothing more. Gary Moore knew that.
Gary says everything he can’t say in words through his guitar, a very private person I feel I know his life through his music. Rip Mr. Moore 🤍 you gifted genius
I used to think Hendrix was the best. I mean he was the reason I started playing guitar. After listening to Gary Moore I really do think he takes the number one spot, at least for me.
Had the great fortune to see Gary, first when he was with thin lizzy,then in his ,attercliffe years as a sol,will never forget those days,never! !! What a player,sadly left too early,as did Phil lynnot😢😢😢
they are very different guitarists. you cant really say one is better than the other, unless it comes to technical skill which gary obviously takes the win. They played in very different musical eras.
Anybody who hasn't heard the 1987 Live from Stockholm version of this song, get it and listen. It is 15 minutes of absolute genius. Gary Moore, The best there ever was, and I've listened to 'em all.
I will have it get that version myself. as it's one of those song's that you can listen to OVER &OVER and OVER AGAIN and not be bored off. It is a pity that his music don't get played that often radio as they dont what the listeners ate missing a master at work.
Just got into Gary Moore and got to say. I love his style. Each note and each melody is well played, well chosen. It’s not all this mindless shredding. He’s telling a story. He can shred but to me picking the right notes and commuting 100% to them is far more impressive than shredding 1000 notes in a second
I discovered Gary shortly after he sadly passed away. And I`ve come back here so many times in the past decade. To me this performance is the single greatest moment in music history and I can`t wait to show it to my daughter when she gets old enough to understand. :)
Some guitarists play the instrument..and some play the instrument and put their emotions through it, their feelings through it, Mr. Gary Moore is one of those latter people, and it is heard through every note, every sequence and every passage. R.I.P. Gary, you always were underappreciated on this earth, but not for the people who can really hear.
THIS WAS FOR PHIL LYNOT GARY JUST POURZ HIMSELF INTO THIS SONG! 'THE LONER"!! WOW! IT MOVES U IN WAYS U NEVER THOT AN INSTRUMENTAL COULD EVER DO? BY A TRUE LEGEND! R.I.P. GARY MOORE, 2020 & STILL LISTENING, BUT YOUR STILL SO SADLY MISSED SIR ,XXX
@ Jan : c'est exactement ce que je voulais dire, en français. Ce morceau génial de Gary Moore parvient à toucher notre âme et également à nous toucher en plein cœur ... Ils sont très peu nombreux à y parvenir.
Gary Moore, Peter Green, and Alvin Lee...all that passion, and emotion pouring forth from just six strings. They were some of the whitest soul brothers on the planet. Thank you!!
This guy burned fast and shined bright. He was already playing great guitar solos on vinyl at seventeen. Guitar genius. No one but Jimi can make the guitar cry and sing like Gary. We want Moore.
Gary Moore is one of the GIANTS of the electric guitar. His feel, intuition for the melody and his unbelievable technique and speed were never bettered and probably will never be. ❤️
This track is a great example of the sheer brilliance & versatility that was Gary's playing - mixes the smoothness of Jazz & Blues with dazzling speed & dexterity from his Heavy Rock/Metal influences...the almost vocalisations & emotions he extracts from his guitar have never been bettered & I'm not sure they will...the man Is A Legend...RiP
He may not be the best technically or melodically, but emotionally there are just a few who touch his feet. No one moves me like Gary. Soulful expression and delivery in its truest form.
@@sotirzvanidjubre4109 I didn't this of Gary..Very sad indeed but he STILL was a wonderful musician Bou. On a cheerier note...HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU WHEN IT COMES! 😆
i was alone at home on 6 februari 2011 when i heard that gary died..i cried and cried.and to this day i get tears in my eyes listening to him..the world lost a great gitarist aswel as a good man.
I come back to this song from time to time, but not often. It is too much of an overwhelming experience, too heartfelt of an emotion. You can feel the cut is deep with this one, and always ends with a tear. Truly the performance of a century, thank u mr. Moore.
Miss Gary's ability to wrench emotions out of a plank of wood that only very few could do. Lots of players have technical ability and speed runs, but when there are tears squeezed out without a word , well you have something special there. He was a truly gifted player.
The first minute or so of this version was used as the "theme" or "intro" for a Swedish society examination program on tv for over a decade. Don't remember how the editorial found this one. Never the less when you heard or still hear today Gary play like this...it's like beyond what words can say. Very few guitarists can/could express them self in such emotional and sensitive way that Gary did. If he couldn't say with words how he felt then he let the guitar spoke for him and everyone could feel and understand his feelings, pain, joy etc. He is sorely missed for sure.
My favorite guitarist of all time. So sad that millions of people don't know him. I'm glad that my local radio station played "Still got the blues" back in the late 90's and then I re-discovered him, hearing a live version of that song from "Blues Alive" 10 years later. So sad that he passed on before I got a chance to see him live.
I am so sad to properly discover Garrry little late and so happy that I have so much to look forward to from his complex blues note to high intensity Jazz beats and from rocking rock tunes to his emotional, solemn & lengthy guitar solos. Not easy to find any other hero like him.
Better late than never.me 2. It was too late for me because just as I found out about Gary in /2010/ 2011. I heard on the news he die within a couple years. Beore that, I did not pay attention to Gary Moore beside the song "Still Got the blue"....but just a casual listener ...not a die hard Gary Moore Fan after 2010/11.
When the Grand Master aka GARY MOORE produces pieces of Musical Poetry - HE will NEVER BE ALONE !! Because he has the ability to takes US ALL WITH HIM to heaven & beyond! RIP GM
Saw him in '77 when he filled in for Brian Robertson on Thin Lizzy's Bad reputation tour. Had no idea of the brilliance I witnessed that evening. Rediscovered him when Still Got the Blues came out. He is one of the greatest of all time.
Gary it truly a legend! I didn't know much about him until my brother one day played one of his songs. Since that day I have always listened to his songs. This person is beyond description even though his dead but his soul is still alive. Amen
I have been playing a long time, and seen the best of the best, no one was better than Gary, you can hear me, Steve Boyleston Jimmy Page Royal Albert Hall Soundchecks. RIP Gary you left your Mark, big shoes to fill. Thank you.
This man and this song inspired me to pick up the electric guitar as my instrument of choice. Legends like Gary Moore touch many people in a positive way. The pure emotions Gary put into every song is just mind blowing! - R.I.P. Gary Moore.
Gary Moore... I bought a C-cassette, from Swedish side. J-music was The name of store.. And i still have it, that cass... It was so mighty year of '85 then. ❤😊 He was a legend. And i had a poster of him, on my teeny weeny wall, so true is that thing also. 😢
This version has it's own merits compared with the Stockholm show. One can clearly hear the delay settings Gary is using and this guitar sound is moore in your face or direct sounding than the Stockholm version, imo. The level of clarity, pick attack vibrato, tremolo use is just sublimely brilliant,in this Wild Frontier period Gary was just on fire all the time, what a great tour this was in '87, I haven't heard a bad show, therein Gary really doesn't ever do a bad show as he gives just 110% all the time. The acoustics at the Odeon are way different than the stadium in Sweden. Just an incredible version, thanks for posting.
My mother loved Gary Moore, when she died aged 77 we played Empty Rooms at her funeral and they will be playing it at mine. Gary made that guitar cry, such feeling in his playing. I’m 66 now and he’s still my hero.
Bless you and your mother
yes! Love !
I'm 64 and I've played his music since I was 18,sadly I never saw him live Hope to meet him when I get up there
You hit the nail on the head sadness in a rift who can do that on words needed
Poland here Gary forever💗💗💗🎸
gary is not dead as long as we remember him and his music
Never will die , that's a great thing to say ,
Whosoever believes in God shall never die. Gary loved God and he is now in heaven.
Then he's gona live forever... if its up to me☺️😍🥰

Some songs don't need lyrics to express themselves, and this is one of them...
Most good guitarists are dragged down by lyrics, I find. Nothing is more expressive than ripping a solo straight from the soul.
I have not listened to Gary in ten years or so ,I almost forgot how good he was ,not too many guitar players give me goose bumps.
I like it
Wow.
An instrumental doesn't need words to express itself.
You must be a genius.
Spanish Guitar, the loner, crying in the shadows, empty rooms, still got the blues...plus many more. Thank you Gary. Forever

This guy burned fast and shined bright. He was already playing great guitar solos on vinyl at seventeen. Guitar genius. No one but Jimi can make the guitar cry and sing like Gary. We want Moore.
Rory can
R.I.P... The music has an empty place where you used to be...
Well put.
He will never lose the blues
Gary Moore is one of the GIANTS of the electric guitar. His feel, intuition for the melody and his unbelievable technique and speed were never bettered and probably will never be. ❤️
Gary Moores tone, dynamics, sustain, feedback, and the crunch between licks was impeccable.... there will never be another guitarist like him!
Agreed. One thumbs up on youtube is sacrilegious. Should be an icon for like EXPONENTIAL to click on. Love you Gary!
So underrated. A true master in solos, he always seems to find the right note.
👍
This track is a great example of the sheer brilliance & versatility that was Gary's playing - mixes the smoothness of Jazz & Blues with dazzling speed & dexterity from his Heavy Rock/Metal influences...the almost vocalisations & emotions he extracts from his guitar have never been bettered & I'm not sure they will...the man Is A Legend...RiP
This has to be one of the best solos ever.... goosebumps every time. Thanx Gary for all your awesome songs and the feeling you put on this tunes.
He may not be the best technically or melodically, but emotionally there are just a few who touch his feet. No one moves me like Gary. Soulful expression and delivery in its truest form.
gary was from other galaxy,he is the 'king'
Don't forget Jimi !!
Dream on dreamers, this is Gary Moore the GREATEST there ever was!
Holy smacks. First time I've heard that live version. Simply astounding.
you can't listen to this and not shed a tear!
R.I.P. Dear Gary Moore, you wonderful soul who visited Earth once!

i was alone at home on 6 februari 2011 when i heard that gary died..i cried and cried.and to this day i get tears in my eyes listening to him..the world lost a great gitarist aswel as a good man.
Today is 03.10.2020 and I'm still listening to you!...Years after we have lost you. Rest in peace Gary! You left something for us.
If perfection truly exists - then it's right here with this performance.
I come back to this song from time to time, but not often.
It is too much of an overwhelming experience, too heartfelt of an emotion.
You can feel the cut is deep with this one, and always ends with a tear.
Truly the performance of a century, thank u mr. Moore.
still unforgettable....
Gary Moore is a legend..
It was the best 12 minutes 28 seconds I've ever spent with my eyes closed.
I am speechless. This is definition of beauty.
i think i was there at the gig and oh boy could he play live. infact im 99% sure i was at the gig
Why he isn’t more famous, I don’t know?
Timing. Fun fact.. Ozzy wanted Gary over Randy Rhoads, but Gary didn't want anything to do with Ozzy. Imagine Blizzard of Ozz without Rhoads.
Americans manupilate the world they made famous even the garbage
Miss Gary's ability to wrench emotions out of a plank of wood that only very few could do. Lots of players have technical ability and speed runs, but when there are tears squeezed out without a word , well you have something special there. He was a truly gifted player.
Gary Moore didn't just play the guitar, he was in a constant battle with the guitar. The sound isn't a war, the sound is the pain caused by that war.
I think I wasn't a battle. It was sex. Some times intense, some times hard core with dirty fingers.
He could put for feel and soul and emotion into a single note than anyone guitar player to have walked this earth.
For me Gary is still the best blues guitarist ever. May you both RiP. 🎸☮
The first minute or so of this version was used as the "theme" or "intro" for a Swedish society examination program on tv for over a decade. Don't remember how the editorial found this one. Never the less when you heard or still hear today Gary play like this...it's like beyond what words can say. Very few guitarists can/could express them self in such emotional and sensitive way that Gary did. If he couldn't say with words how he felt then he let the guitar spoke for him and everyone could feel and understand his feelings, pain, joy etc.
He is sorely missed for sure.
My favorite guitarist of all time. So sad that millions of people don't know him. I'm glad that my local radio station played "Still got the blues" back in the late 90's and then I re-discovered him, hearing a live version of that song from "Blues Alive" 10 years later. So sad that he passed on before I got a chance to see him live.
same for me
I am so sad to properly discover Garrry little late and so happy that I have so much to look forward to from his complex blues note to high intensity Jazz beats and from rocking rock tunes to his emotional, solemn & lengthy guitar solos. Not easy to find any other hero like him.
Better late than never.me 2. It was too late for me because just as I found out about Gary in /2010/ 2011. I heard on the news he die within a couple years. Beore that, I did not pay attention to Gary Moore beside the song "Still Got the blue"....but just a casual listener ...not a die hard Gary Moore Fan after 2010/11.
I would "LIKE" this 5000 times if I could.

When the Grand Master aka GARY MOORE produces pieces of Musical Poetry - HE will NEVER BE ALONE !! Because he has the ability to takes US ALL WITH HIM to heaven & beyond! RIP GM
,,👋
The Moore I listen to Gary More the more I actually think he has been the most amazing guitarist of all time. Actually. Even dare I say Dave Gilmour.
I'm only sorry I never got to see him live. He was phenomenal!!!!!!!
I went to the Milton Keynes Bowl festival in 1986 solely because he was there.
Im sad I never saw him live. He died on my birthday. Huge loss to me.😥
What a dream to see Gary live !
Saw him in '77 when he filled in for Brian Robertson on Thin Lizzy's Bad reputation tour. Had no idea of the brilliance I witnessed that evening. Rediscovered him when Still Got the Blues came out. He is one of the greatest of all time.
Well done sir. You really put your soul in the music.
What an absolutely enchanting piece of art, easily one of the greatest tunes ever played since humans walked this earth.
Gary it truly a legend! I didn't know much about him until my brother one day played one of his songs. Since that day I have always listened to his songs. This person is beyond description even though his dead but his soul is still alive. Amen
I have been playing a long time, and seen the best of the best, no one was better than Gary, you can hear me, Steve Boyleston Jimmy Page Royal Albert Hall Soundchecks. RIP Gary you left your Mark, big shoes to fill. Thank you.
This man and this song inspired me to pick up the electric guitar as my instrument of choice. Legends like Gary Moore touch many people in a positive way. The pure emotions Gary put into every song is just mind blowing! - R.I.P. Gary Moore.
A real and rare guitar hero...rest in peace..be in GOD Mr. Moore
Gary Moore... I bought a C-cassette, from Swedish side. J-music was The name of store.. And i still have it, that cass... It was so mighty year of '85 then. ❤😊 He was a legend. And i had a poster of him, on my teeny weeny wall, so true is that thing also. 😢
I miss Gary Moore so so 😢😢😢😢 thanks for all your great songs , your music for the world 🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
What a stunning piece of music, a masterpiece of guitar playing pure and simple
This is one of the best performances of anything I've ever heard.
This version has it's own merits compared with the Stockholm show. One can clearly hear the delay settings Gary is using and this guitar sound is moore in your face or direct sounding than the Stockholm version, imo.
The level of clarity, pick attack vibrato, tremolo use is just sublimely brilliant,in this Wild Frontier period Gary was just on fire all the time, what a great tour this was in '87, I haven't heard a bad show, therein Gary really doesn't ever do a bad show as he gives just 110% all the time. The acoustics at the Odeon are way different than the stadium in Sweden.
Just an incredible version, thanks for posting.
+davida54 Agree with you on this version. The last 3/4 minutes - oh man.
davida54 - I like "Moore in your face" - was that intentional? It would make a good album title...
