GARY MOORE
Le Zénith - Paris, France
October 14 2002

This was the only time I had the change to see the great Gary Moore live, and I will always remember it.

Gary was opening for ZZ Top at the Zénith in Paris. I wish I had seen him as a headliner, but I always thought “I will go next time”.
Now it’s sadly too late, and of course I regret.

But let’s not complain, I still had the chance to see him once and he made a fabulous show!

Gary enchanted the audience with his playing and his singing.

The audience that was calm and attentive, respectful, sometimes just watching his guitar licks, sometimes almost in trance.

Gary Moore was not the best rock singer ever, but he had a warm voice that was combined perfectly with his guitar feeling. He was a very charismatic musician.

Moreover, the sound was really good that night, so there was a really special atmosphere.

The Gary Moore band line-up was a trio tonight, with a very groovy rhythm section composed by Cass Lewis of Skunk Anansie on bass and Darrin Mooney of Primal Scream on drums.

Gary was touring for his album Scars and played a very rock setlist, with 3 songs from that album.
Nevertheless, he only played for one hour so some classics like Parisienne Walkways, Over the Hills and Far Away, The sky is Crying or Cold Day In Hell were not played.

Even if the headlining band that night was ZZ Top, Gary made a great impression on us all.
He did a really good concert, especially for an opening act.

Thin Lizzy Now Gary is rocking the Other Side with his bandmate Phil Lynott.

We’ll miss you Gary, your rock will live on!
