58, that's no age, I'm 58 and life sure is unpredictable. I only saw Gary Moore just the once, he toured about 20 odd years ago with another blues great - Albert Collins, "the master of the Telecaster". Poor old Albert died a few years back, maybe the 2 of them are even now reliving that evening at the Hammersmith Odeon..............

It was at the Milton Keynes Bowl when Tull were guests of Marillion. Great gig and Gary was fantastic! May he rest in peace.

I too only saw Gary Moore once, when he was playing in Colosseum II. The keyboard player was Don Airey.
Back full circle....

Good write up here www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-12881549missed it last night damn - on iplayer here - beautiful documentary with amazing footage of Thin Lizzy Skid Row and Peter Green and early pics that I've never seen before. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00zx9z4/Gary_Moore_Still_Got_the_Blues/Liked the comments from Gary all through the film about music in general and his attitude towards it. He comes across as someone who wasn't interested in the circus of the industry unlike some others who viewed that as important if not more as the love of playing and creating. Also I could see comparisons to the relationship of the Tull members through the years maybe especially to Anderson and Barre - they have never been swayed by the excesses in the business and got their kicks out of "just" the music and maybe that common factor has kept productivity and longevity for so long and not just in their health. Also on another point Gary said that his upbringing had an effect on his music. I wonder if a troubled upbringing , whatever kind of trouble that may be, makes for a more passionate raw sound in music? or what effect does upbringing have on expression in any form of creativity? Scott Gorham said that Gary ; "played the right notes at the right time" Fitting tribute to a great musician
