Greatly saddened as you all are, I've been playing a wide selection of his songs in my class, surprisingly a number of my pupils know his songs.
I too was at Donnington and still remember the day, all these years later...

Any memories of GM?

I have seen him twice as far as I recall.

Once I saw him play at Donningtons Monsters Of Rock festival where Van Halen and AC/DC headlined ( I definitely remember him playing "Shapes of Things") and the second occasion was as part of Greg Lake's band at Cardiff Students Union.

The second time I could see him play up close. He was brilliant. He will be missed.
 
I was at that Donnington, a really great year. Smile
 
I was lucky enough to catch him live a few times over theyears. The first was on the Victims Of The Future Tour and last time was on the Scars tour a few years back.

It was so hot that day in Donnington. I was happy when the sun started to set and Van Halen took the stage. Accept were there too weren't they?

Sadly, in North American blues and jazz fests that regularly featured Snoop Dog and the Black Eyed Peas, not one ever got Gary Moore to play here.
 
I only wish I was able to see this great man play. Cry Still devasted.
 
Then again, I have not seen any notice in any of our newpapers about this, mind you they are giving front page headlines to Lindsay Lohan. - nuff said

Someone should post Gary Moore on the "Best Guitar Solo" thread.
 
GM's best guitar solos would be in the hundreds if not thousands of choices.

On Andrew LLoyd Webber's "Variations" Mr. Moore was just incredible to me!  He is so diverse on that recording.

Yes they were and Motley Crue, Y & T and Ozzy if I remember correctly.
