Gary Moore ''Separate Ways'' (HQ live from London 1992,with extended guitar intro )
Guitar Legend, Gary Moore playing ''Separate Ways'' live @ London, back in 1992.This version features an extended guitar intro

Some infos for the guitar geeks:

The guitar used here is NOT the famous Peter Green '59 L/P which is now owned by Kirk Hammett of Metallica.

This guitar here,is the other original '59 L/P that Gary owned,nicknamed ''Stripe'' AKA the ''Still Got the Blues L/P'' .

You can tell them easily apart from the pickups,the ''Greenie'' has covered humbuckers,the ''Stripe'' has uncovered PAF's.
Check out the video of Gary & B.B. King, playing ''Thrill is Gone'' from the same concert, on that song Gary plays the ''Greenie'' .

According to an interview with Gary's old tech on Guitarist magazine, this guitar here was re-fretted with extra big jumbo frets, because the original frets where completely worn down and also the tuners where changed to Grover locking machine heads. Pickups are still original Gibson P.A.F's and he never mentions anything about any reversed neck pickup, on the ''Stripe'', only the ''Greenie'' and some Gibson custom shop replicas of it, that Gibson made for him, did have it.

This guitar is now owned by Gary's son,Jack Moore who is also a musician.

GM is one of my top 5 all-time players. I watch one of his videos at least once a week. I think his version of "The sky is crying" is epic.
