Need help with Fender Statocaster HD program..

[cruzmisl]

There is a guy about an hour into the program that jams one great blues tune and then leaves. He has black hair is really into his guitar. Any idea who he is? They only named a few people the entire 2.5hrs and he wasn't one of them.
Thanks,
J.

That would have been Gary Moore......

Gary Moore is acknowledged as one of the finest musicians that the British Isles has ever produced. In a career that dates back to the 1960s, there are few musical genres that he has not turned his adroit musical hand to, and has graced the line-ups ever several notable rock bands, Thin Lizzy, Colosseum II and Skid Row to name but three,

Gary Moore was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, on April 4th 1952. Like many others, he was turned on to rock and roll first through hearing Elvis Presley, and then via The Beatles. Seeing the likes of Jimi Hendrix and John Mayall's Bluesbreakers in his hometown in the mid-60s opened up to him the rich world of The Blues. Hearing the art of the Blues guitar performed by such lauded exponents as Peter Green fired Moore's nascent talent, and it wasn't long before he was being hailed as a teen musical prodigy. Indeed, it was Green himself who helped foster Moore's career, a debt that was repaid handsomely when Gary cut his warm and heartfelt tribute to his mentor, the 'Blues For Greeny' album, released in 1995.

That song was definitly the high point of the show. My girlfriend was watching with me, and asked me "wow, who is this guy?". hehe.

Thanks for the responses. It was the best of show for sure, next to Pink Floyd......(forget his name)

Some of the acts were just plain horrible though. Thankfully I have a 942. FF is my friend

David Gilmore of Pink Floyd was the highlight, however Paul Rogers of Bad Company and his son & daughter all up on stage performing were also very good.
