It is a great shame that Gary is not around anymore, I saw him twice and he was excellent. I saw him play his rock stuff and his blues stuff and his guitar playing was top notch, what he did in his private life was his own business. Gary is up there with the greats and I will never get bored of listening to his music:)

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.

One of my favorite Gary photo's I've ever seen. RIP. Miss this guy so much. A "must listen" to are the "3" Colosseum II albums, stunning jazz-rock fusion. I've got 30 cd's/albums by Gary and believe him to be one of the best ever, along with Jeff Beck I might add.

I LOVE Gary Moore. He's one of the guitarists in my all time dream band. His tone was ridiculous, and I've spent many nights going down youtube rabbit holes.
I've got pretty much all of his stuff in my collection .

My first concert was Def Leppard/Krokus/Gary Moore on June 25, 1983 and the Cape Cod Coliseum, meaning that Gary Moore's band was the FIRST live actual band I ever saw.
His band on that tour was Ian Paice, Neil Murray, and Neil Carter.

I saw him a second time on August 29, 1987. His band that night? Bob Daisley, Eric Singer.and Neil Carter.

I took this pic that night..

One of my all time favorite Gary moments is when he played with George Harrison for an amazing version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps. What's awesome about this video, is that you can really see how impressed Harrison was with him.

Yeah, I am also a huge Gary Moore fan. Some of my favorite moments for GM was his stage time with BB King. Those two together made the guitars talk to each other!
