I learned this evening that Gary Moore was pronounced dead today. He died apparently whilst in his sleep on holiday in Spain. He was a great guitarist, one of the best. I first heard of Gary Moore back in the eighties. I loved the Out In The Fields era. The first song I really remember hearing from him was Shapes of Things, a track that made me think this band is special. I don't know much about the track but I have a strong feeling that I heard once it was a cover of someone else's song.

Shapes of Things was a Yardbirds tune. I love the Gary Moore version - he really attacked the solo and did a great job of "reshaping" a classic. I am sorry to hear of his passing. Too soon indeed.
That is very sad.. unfortunately his name doesn't ring any bells for me.. Was he in any gropus that I might recognize?
