Cool Mike, yea that has been posted before on the Marshall section, we tried to figure out what amp he was playing through, the consensus was probably a Vintage Modern.
The thing is now, the Greeny guitar, which Eric Ernest of Abalone Vintage is minding for a while along with the 1958 Burst of Gary's that he originally brokered, is in a vault in Miami, not general knowledge, on the LPF thread Edwin Wilson of the Gibson Custom Shop is pictured holding the Greeny guitar. Apparently Gibson is studying the guitar to copy it, as I originally suggested to Phil Winfield back when the guitar changed hands. Who needs a Rossington, or any of the other copies, I know you have a Page Mike, but still this is the guitar. In fact Stripe Gary's burst he still has, which was stolen from Ronnie Montrose, would be an even better one to copy, but has even moore legal issues.
Eric of Abalone called me about seven months ago to talk about the Greeny guitar as he had read what I had posted about the sale on LPF. So I knew their were lawsuits about it, ect.
This one will be expensive!!
Still this live track with Peter cutting loose with Greeny live is absolutely awesome.....

Eric at Abalone eh? I spent a lot of money there in the early to mid-90s when I was stationed at Fort Jackson. Saw Eric again at the 2007 Arlington Show. We had a good laugh at some of the old times.

Yes WOT, Eric is a great guy and quite a character too. I finally met him by chance at the Philly summer vintage show 2 years ago. He called me out of the blue to ask me about the Peter Green/Gary Moore 1959 Burst Greeny.
I'll tell you what is cool, you guys know the bucket list, well I have been formulating mine lately.
High up on my priority list is visiting the amazing Tom Witterock at Third Eye Music in Missouri eventually, he has extended an open invitation to me from awhile back to stop buy and play some of the best sounding and looking 1959 Les Paul Standards out there.
Tom has many Bursts currently, and has owned over the years around 100 examples of this year, which is amazing considering the total production numbers, and has had many more in his hands at one time or another.
So I love his guitar Sandy and look forward to having the privilege to play some of these amazing guitars, which I would never ordinarily ever have a snowball's chance in hell of owning. He has played Greeny, when she was first sold and at the Dallas show jam.
Eric is closely involved with Greeny's current owner in Miami, who also owned the 1958 Burst that Gary owned around the time of the After Hours CD.
He is pictured with it in promos, cut videos with it, (the '58), yet never played it live or recorded with it! Also he never took the pick-guard off of it (a GM trademark). Tom Witterock also had dealing with Gary's only '59 he still has, the magical Stripe that is # 9-2227. Tom gave the guitar it's nickname and recently Ronnie Montrose sued unsuccessfully Gary Moore, claiming it was stolen from him at an Edgar Winter gig in Boston in 1972, right off the stage.
Unfortunately Ronnie never had a bill of sale from J.Geils who sold it to him, which would have contained the serial number or ever filed a police report at the time.
The bottom line is Gary bought the guitar around 1988-9 in England from an English dealer, after it went through several dealers on the US.
It was rumored for many years, since Gary brought the guitar out in public, (though not from Ronnie) that this was the same guitar based on the stripe patterns.
So Gary Moore legitimately bought a guitar from this dealer, has brought it to the States once, (on the After Hours tour which was only really two gigs, LA and the Beacon Theater in NY, which is where I first saw Gary with Albert Collins).
This guitar, Gary's first recorded track with it was Still Got The Blues so it is a great sounding guitar, but now it will never travel outside of Gary's house..
Also may have to travel to Miami, but hope to play Greeny myself so the circle will be completed, from when I first bought Then Play On by Fleetwood Mac till now...

At last we have some news about Gary's Line Up for this summer...(from gary-moore.com)

With the “Blues” line up on summer recess, Gary Moore will be hitting the road this summer, with a whole “new” band line up: Neil Carter returns, after 20 years, to take up his rightful place stage left, behind a battery of technology. He is planning to throw some on stage shapes, as he dusts off his guitars; Jon Noyce, (ex Jethro Tull/Sessions) will be holding down the bottom end on bass, again some one who is making a return to the live line up (he was last seen on the Phil Lynott, “One Night in Dublin” Tribute DVD in 2005), and providing the percussive edge is a very familiar face, Darrin Mooney (Primal Scream/Sessions) on drums.

This reenergised line up have been locked away, since Gary’s return from a successful “Blues” tour of the Far East earlier this year, working up a live set based around a selection of live favourites from the “Wild Frontier/After the War” period. Songs that have been regularly requested at live shows, over the past 15/20 odd years. This may prove to be a real treat for fans, old & new, as many will not have heard Gary play these songs live, for a very long time.

In addition to the older tunes, a number of new “Celtic Rock” style tracks are to be included in the show. Tracks that slot easily into the live set.

The debut live show for the line up will be at the Trondheim Rock Festival, Trodheim, Norway on May 22nd, and the first opportunity for UK audiences to see and hear the new tracks will be at the “High Voltage” Festival in July, when Gary performs on the bill with the likes of ZZ Top, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Foreigner, Asia, Marillion and many more. Gary is due on stage on Saturday July 24th.

This “Summer of Rock” is set to continue with a number of European festival shows, which have been added to the touring schedule, so looks like a very busy year for Gary and the “new” band.

HOORAY!!!!!!!! I always had hoped for this!! I am glad that I kept telling Neil Carter how great those days and bands were and he has decided to go for it, they have a new song dedicated to Phil Lynott and will be playing Blood of Emeralds, Military Man, Out In The Fields, Empty Rooms, a lot of the best era for me and some new songs in the Celtic vein.
Unfortunately I will never see them live....but that's ok!

Courtesy of the Lord of the Strings, the worldwide Gary Moore fan forum , I was able to hear the amazing first show at an outdoor festival.
This was at Trondhiem Rock Festival 05/22/2010.
Gary is amazingly only using one guitar to play all of the songs, well he changes to a different sunburst Les Paul for Parisienne Walkways apparently, it's extreme bends and may require his 'Greeny' style Custom Shop LP, not a Melvyn Franks model btw.
He is using two Marshall 1959HW heads and moore reverb than delay from the sound of it.
Besides the amazing playing and singing of Neil Carter once moore by his side after 20 years absence, I find it incredible how Gary is handling the Wild Frontier era material, with a fixed bridge Les Paul. Lt only reinforces how incredible his vibrato really is.
I had been hoping against hope as many hard core GM fans have for years, that Gary would return to the Celtic rock era, as it wasn't really all said and with the death of Phillip Lynott in 1986, just as Gary was embarking on that style of music.
His blues period has produced a lot of amazing tunes and playing experiences, Albert King, B.B.King, Albert Collins and there were plans from Albert to have SRV join Gary on stage, but that never happened.
I am often unfairly accused of being a fanboy by the Internet trolls who have nothing better to do than attack my enthusiasm for guitar playing and music, not just my opinion, if that was the case, fair enough, but it goes beyond that.
I have to report how amazing Gary's playing and singing is on this classic material from 1985-89 and three new Celtic rock influenced songs.
One of these is about how Gary misses Phil Lynott, not being by his side, as I know they still had great material to produce together.
Hearing him reproduce those Floyded licks with a Les Paul and how he has embellished them to bring out new nuances is just breathtaking to me.
Audiences need to hear this material live again and not just the blues Moore, 20 years is long enough.
In fact many are saying he should have left out Still Got The Blues, Parisienne Walkways and Walkin' By Myself altogether, I agree.
The new songs have some similarity to the After The War era style Celtic licks, but that's OK.
Gary runs with these themes so flawlessly that it is almost what the newly 'reformed' Thin Lizzy should sound like, but can't.
In a nod to the stage clothes of that era, Gary is wearing a military chevron on his leather jacket.
I thought it would sound too different trying to recreate that massive stadium rock tone, with a smaller set up and completely different guitars, but Gary has pulled it off.
Sure he repeats a verse or two in Blood of Emeralds and fumbles slightly on the words of Military Man, but that is nothing for a first gig and very little rehearsal time, hearing those classic runs interpreted on his current Les Paul is nothing short of incredible. Honestly I couldn't believe my ears.
The DAT audience recording isn't too bad, you can hear the audience talking and drinking, but it doesn't spoil the show.
Where Are You Now, which refers to Phil Lynott hass the most amazing outro solo which is just cut off??
Hope a DVD is made and these new songs are released.
I feel very connected to all of this as over the past two years I have been in contact with Neil Carter and had the opportunity to thank him and tell him how much his contribution meant to the all the fans.
He was enthused about the Wild Frontier period, it being his favorite as well, then we did the interview published on his site and the Gary Moore web page as well.
Hearing the same material played with two half stacks and a much simpler equipment line up, than previously used, allows Gary to bring out the nuances that only time can bring, when older material is revisited.

1. Dunluce (tape intro)

I originally posted the incorrect bit torrrent link, but corrected it in the above post, if any have tried to download it yet. With the bit torrent format, they must still be converted to play on a regular CD, not as a CD-ROM which is the format they download as, if that makes sense..

Re: Gary Moore's Great New Tour

Great news the whole concert is available on Rapid Share for free uploading with cover art:
Remember this is the very first show ever for this lineup after a very, very short rehearsal time.
After my interview with Neil Carter, whom I have been in communication with since 2007, he mentioned he was going in tentatively to try out things with Gary again.
Plus I sent him the official Wild Frontier VHS tape on DVD, which he watched with Gary and many bootleg CD's and DVD's form that era, so I hope I had some part in re inspiring the both of them!
I had originally contacted him telling him how awesome those days 20 years ago were and what an integral part he was in Gary's best era arguably,well no argument in my case :lol
I am really digging the pared down from the stadium rock approach, with Gary's use of the Marshall Handwired 1959HW reissues, my HW has parts substitution by George Metropoulos and I couldn't stand the HW cabs, mostly because of the cheap, not authentic construction.
At the time I blamed the Celestion Heritage 30H speakers, ect, but in retrospect, it was moore the cabs themselves that I hated and with an authentically reconstructed cabinet, once broken in, they would be great!
Gary is still using the JCM style 4X12"'s that he has been using in his blues phase, but praise God and my prayers were answered as he dropped the abysmal DSL2000 amps, don't get me started on them, look on the old Gary Moore forum or Metro forum for my take on that!
With Gary he may well be using EV's, who knows, I have my spies and they will report all soon. Or hopefully a technical interview will reveal this. Interested in his pedal board as well, but the reverb works quite well, without him using a Roland Dimension D, or any digital delay at all.
The articulation of the notes is just incredible and the three new tunes, which hopefully will become an album once the tour is over, is mind blowing.
I would say his fast playing has slowed down and he really puts so much moore feel in his bends and runs than I have heard in many, many years...
That he did not just copy his eighties rig, I admire him for and sticking with his main love the Les Paul, his vibrato is so incredible that the tremolo guitar laden material from Wild Frontier, you would never really notice the difference.
Gary has approached all of this in an adult fashion and his song in remembrance of his much missed musical companion and friend, Phil Lynott "Where Are You Now", with it's into similar to Lizzy's Emerald, is just so moving.
The intricacy of the playing in the Celtic fashion, takes what he did with Black Rose, Blood of Emeralds, to even greater heights.
Neil Carter is superb on guitar as always and keys.
Remember his main instrument was the guitar in his pre-GM bands and he has been instructing woodwinds at Brighton College of Music, where he is a professor for many years.
Neil told me and it was my feeling too, that that Celtic rock period was too brief and one of Gary's most beloved periods.
I enjoy all phases of Gary's career, but I feel he isn't given credit as much as say Jeff Beck, who frankly has superb management compared to Gary, and is playing the best of his career no doubt. But Gary seems to be left out, if anyone should have played at Clapton's blues fests, it was Gary, but there are so many issues, for ridiculous reasons, why he won't tour the States any moore, which would need another whole thread and it isn't fear of flying I can tell you!
Well here are the links, in the mp3 format, thank God, those flac files are a pain in the ass/bit torrents, ect.
Gary has deliberately gone back to using classic plexi Marshall's with pedals, his best sound and slowed down the whole proceedings, with what I consider his best playing in a long. long time.
True he appears somewhat uncomfortable in this first show, but he played the Blues For Greeny show, live with Peter Green watching in the wings, as his one off, virtually no rehearsal gig, and that was amazing..so.
This is another kind of pressure for him, but he is moving forward with it and can still rock with the best.
The new Thin Lizzy lineup, even with Viv Campbell would be hard matched to compare to Gary's new stuff, Brian Robertson and Brian Downey, included!
Blood of Emeralds has been my favorite Gary Moore song since it came out, as it tells the tale of his and Phil Lynott's voyage from Ireland to England and the sad outcome, with Gary watching helplessly, unable to help his real friend, who was too far gone.
People either seem to love or hate Gary Moore, or only like selective phases of his career, but as a lifetime fan, I can only say I hope they film a DVD of this great lineup, to capture in great recording quality, this amazing playing and singing from Gary.
