I first heard Gary Moore when a friend recommended the LP Grinding Stone. As soon as I played the title track I was hooked. I then went backwards and picked up Skid Row's first LP called Skid. This Irish power trio featured then 17 year old Gary Moore with a couple of old guys (they were in their early to mid twenties).
I was already into the original Thin Lizzy with Eric Bell and I was more than happy when Moore filled in (Moore and Lynott knew each other from the early Skid Row days).
In the mid 70s I started getting into jazz/rock/fusion and when I heard about Colosseum II I bought both LPs without hesitation.
Back On The Streets is the only solo LP I have on vinyl but I have several others on CD.
Back in the day I had been a fan of British blues since Clapton left the Yardbirds to go with Mayall so when I read that Peter Green gave his Les Paul to Gary Moore I was not surprised. That is a big honor in the world of guitarists.
