Joe Bonamassa Plays Tribute to Gary Moore
It’s been 3-1/2 months since the tragic loss of Gary Moore.
Most of the guitar magazines have written their tribute articles and many artists have added songs to their set lists to honor the late legend.
Here is one of the best you will ever hear honoring one of the best there ever was:
I haven’t said much about the death of Gary Moore. It still is very surreal This my best tribute so far. I can’t hold a candle but enjoy.

So pleased that Joe did this. He has always acknowledged Gary as an influence and it was great to hear that they were beginning to forge a friendship, though they only had an opportunity to meet 2 or 3 times. Gary is my all time favourite, and Joe has become second in line in the last 5 years, so this really touches me, though it is obviously tinged with sadness and regret that we will never get to see the 2 of them share a stage together, which I feel sure would have happened at some point. How GREAT would that have been!?
