Very saddened to see the tragic and sudden loss of Gary Moore....a truly great guitarist.

Used to play some of his stuff in my group days , my favourite bing the little known Messiah.

Surprisingly difficult to get a good photo to work with however, put together this smudge in memory of the man.....

Hope you like.

Best wishes

Ray

 
A nice tribute Ray, and a great bloke. Nice smudge (?) :-)

Strangely on Sunday morning before I heard of his death I had been talking about him to my brother. I last saw him play a couple of years ago at a tribute for the late great Jim Capaldi, drummer with Traffic Gary played along with Paul Weller, Steve Winwood, Joe Walsh, Pete Townshend, Yusuf Islam, Jon Lord, Bill Wyman, Ray Cooper, The Storys, Dennis Locorriere and Stevie Lange. It was a great evening. My wife took a lot of the pictures of Jim in the programme and her picture of him was on the front cover. I managed to get a copy of it signed by all the players including Gary and treasure that. I saw Thin Lizzy years ago with Lynott too.
Rock on.

Many than ks Diane....appreciated.

Jules....didn't know you were a rocker!!! LOL

He was a great player and like many we all tried to emulate his Parisienne Walkways etc but my favourites were some of his lesser know tracks....however, whatever he turned his guitar to he was a gem. .....a sad and great loss to music.

Best wishes

Me a rocker Ray! Where do I start. I was at the Dylan, Band, Cocker, who IOW festival and the year later for Hendrix, Doors, Miles, Cohen etc and haven't stopped since. Saw Bob Marley at the Rainbow, Hendrix again at the RAHall. Living in London from '68 i saw all the emerging bands when they used to play the coleges, Elton Joh, Clapton, Derek and the Dominoes, Stones in the Park, The Floyd, The Stones, Beefhart, Grateful Dead, Yes, Nice, Led Zep at the Marquee! I took a fair number of pictures although most were b&w pushed to the limit so grainy as hell. I have a few on a great (the greatest) UK festival site, see one of the Dead here

There's Richie Havens there somewhere too.

I'm still rocking and in the last few years have seen Jeff Beck, Van the man, Ray Davies, Leon Russell, Santana, Bruce, John Mayer, Robert Cray, Ben Harper, Ry Cooder with Nick Lowe, Joe Bonamassa, Steve Wonder, Yousou N'Dour, Andy Fairweather Low.

I'm 61 next week but it won't stop me rocking. I saw Joan as Policewoman at the Barbican two days ago (who's she you might ask!)

Good to see you again, Ray. Nice tribute to a great blues guitarist/singer.
 
Great smudge Ray (although Gary didn't have his Les Paul! ;-) )

And Jules...what a great list of concerts to have seen! I've been lucky enough to catch a few myself including the last Zeplin concert at the Forum in Los Angeles and the Mad Dogs and Englishman tour. I grew up in the same town as Beefheart and Zappa and was lucky enough to have moved to northern California in time to catch the Grateful Dead when they still played in the local parks and other small gatherings. Long live Rock! ;-)

The Mad Dogs Live tour was one I sadly missed although as I said I did see Cocker and Russell separately. But I have the album and it's definitely up there in the top bunch.

Jules, as my email address notes, "you're never too old to rock 'n roll". I loved rock music when I was young, I still love it now that I'm old. It was in October 2009 when myself and thousands of other old guys felt like we were teenagers again when we packed into the Hammersmith Odeon to see Mott The Hoople. Wow! I never got to see them in the 70s but I'll never forget the chill that went up my spine that night in October when they took the stage. I guess an old guy like me shouldn't feel that way but, oh well. When they left the stage to their swansong "Saturday Gigs", I can tell you that there wasn't a dry eye in the house.

Well, it's not Peter Green's, (probably the most valuable electric guitar on earth,) nor is it Moore's Gibson Signature model. The front pickup is flipped a la Greenie, which would get the famous snarky tone. I see he owned a '58, so that's probably what it is.
 
I missed that one, but All the Young Dudes is still one of my favorite singles ever. You only have to play it to feel good. The Apollo (was Odeon) is just up the road from me and I caught Todd Rundgren there not long ago and Tom Waites a couple of years ago who was superb. Wouldn't mind seeing Peter Gabriel there next month.

I stayed up the road from the Hammersmith at a small place on Shepherd's Bush Road. The wife and I had a great time.

Very nice Ray. I saw Rage do several Gary Moore videos the other night and was thinking "I hope he comes to Oz, I'd love to see him." I didn't know then that he had passed away, your post is the first news of it that I saw.

I guess I won't get to see Gary, but thanks for your tribute.
