Tom Noll Soon to Release Painting of the Late Gary Moore PLUS Live at Montreaux CD and DVD Give Away Contest!
Many of you know world-renowned artist Tom Noll from my previous posts.
It was 1 year ago today, 11/21/10 that I discovered Tom and wrote about his work here on TheGuitarBuzz.com.
Since that post, Tom and I have become good friends and I have a couple of his prints hanging in my office (Carlos Santana and Jeff Beck).
I check on Tom’s web site every so often and when I looked on Sunday I was amazed to learn that he has “the late Gary Moore” on his canvas and “in the works” right now. I always have been and always will be a fan of Gary Moore and will eternally regret that I never saw him play in person.
In honor of the “soon to be released” print, I am announcing a Gary Moore CD/DVD Giveaway contest right here on TheGuitarBuzz. To enter, all you have to do is leave a comment to this post about Gary Moore.
I have 2 CDs and 1 DVD of “Gary Moore Live in Montreaux 2010″ that I will give away FREE to 3 winners via random drawing from the comments left to this post. The contest will end at 12:00noon MST on the day after Tom Noll notifies me that the Gary Moore print is ready to ship.
Gary Moore Live at Montreux 2010
After decades of monster guitar work on his own albums and with Thin Lizzy, Cozy Powell, Rod Argent, Ginger Baker, Jack Bruce and others, Moore dug deep into blues before returning to rock in 2010.
Sadly, he died suddenly in early 2011; this 2010 Montreux set was his last filmed concert. He’s got energy to spare here, playing classics plus new songs: Over the Hills and Far Away; Blood of Emeralds; So Far Away/Empty Rooms; Military Man; Parisienne Walkways; Oh Wild One and more…
After years of blues explorations, this performance marked a return to hard-charging rock for Moore. In fact, the former Thin Lizzy guitarist was working on a new rock album at the time of his death.
Providing a hint of what might’ve been, Moore performed three brand new songs that night at Montreux – all of which are included here. “Days of Heroes” is a strident, stomping rocker with Moore belting a furious vocal. “Where Are You Now” leans into a slow, insistent beat.

Awesome! I love Gary Moore! RIP.
I also am blue that I didn’t get a chance to see Gary. As I’m engrossing myself in this painting of him, I’ve listened to more GM than I thought possible…and it gets better all the time!
Tom
Awesome artwork! Gary Moore was, and still remains a great influence on my playing! He had such passion and feel in his playing and truly was an amazing guitarist! and anytime I listen to any of his CDs, I still feel the inspiration as I did many years ago. He will always remain an icon amongst those of us he has entertained and inspired with his playing (and singing). He contributed greatness! I’m still sad that he had passed away at such a relatively young age, but he will continue to live on and entertain and inspire countless others through his music for many, many years to come! Thanks for the opportunity to be able to participate in your giveaway!
Gary Moore is one of my favorites – great emotion and phrasing in his playing – I can listen to his music all day and not get bored. He is missed….
Gary Moore is the reason I play guitar ,his style and technique are a huge part of my playing vocabulary
It’s funny how certain things in life have a sequence, for example…
Yesterday I was listening to assorted Buddy Whittington YouTube performances and one of them was with Gary Moore.
Earlier today, I was googling the song Red House and a Gary Moore version popped up.
Then I went onto YouTube again to check out a little Albert King, and, I kid you not! Gary Moore was performing with him!!
Now, tonight I log onto the guitar buzz, and what do I see? Gary Moore!
Is that crazy or what!?
But I did enjoy listening to him play again.
Great Blog! Love what you are doing and especially this Gary Moore contest. He will always be one of the best there every was. The paintings are very cool. How much are they?
There are certain phrases in guitar solos that come from way down deep inside. Gary had a way of bringing those out in a melodic voice like no other blues guitarist.
Gary Moore was my inspiration. Would not be playing (the way I do) if not for him. I would love to win the DVD. Please enter me in the contest. Thanks for the great site!
Gary Moore’s an AMAZING talent! Guitar & Vocals are sexy & BEAUTIFUL!
The Gary Moore progression is FUN & so COOL to see! Tom you just get better & better. I’m so proud of you & your own personal progression.
Awesome print and really like the shirt! I had the pleasure of reviewing a CD sometime ago, he was a one man blues guitar power house. I wish I had seen him perform. Peace!
Gary Is one of my all time favorite guitar players. I would love to have had the chance to see him play.
Gary Moore was an amazing artist. His music was alive and had soul, you could feel it. Sadly he’s gone but his music lives on. Another member in tne great rock & roll Heaven.
Please enter me in the contest. I have every CD that Gary Moore released except this latest release. If I do not win, I will buy it!
I loved Gary Moore. Still do. Gone too soon. RIP.
What a fantastic honor to a true legend!
Keep up the AWESOME WORK, Tom !
