I remember hearing this on an old mix tape my dad had years ago. It's probably my favourite slow blues song. The masterfully subtle Albert Collins coupled perfectly with the sheer awesome chops of Gary Moore bringing a whole new level of gain! Gary's solo starts at 3.50ish

 

Two legends no longer with us. RIP.

I just watched a couple old VHS recordings of Gary. One is called Emerald Isles (recorded in Dublin and Belfast) and the other is the 1987 Wild Frontier tour from Stockholm.

Goddamn brilliant playing.

I really can't believe he's gone. I feel fortunate that I got to see him once though.

Totally didn't see that one coming.

 

Anecdotally I heard the reason he sold Peter Green's old Les Pauls was due to health problems but I never heard anything more about it and he was still gigging and still putting out recordings. I suppose if you have to pass, passing in your sleep while on vacation is the time to do it. Very sad.
