Okay, so now I have one yes and one no vote for this.  Anyone care to
cast the deciding vote??

I don't remember saying Gary was better on the jazzy stuff, mainly
because I don't think I've heard him playing jazz.  I agree his rock
output really kicks.  One of my favourite Moore albums is _Rockin'
Every Night: Gary Moore Live in Japan_.  (Is this available on CD???)
The solo on "Can't Wait Until Tomorrow" is incredible!  Smokin' cover
of Free's "Wishing Well", too...

I like his blues stuff quite a lot, also (but prefer Elmore James'
original of "The Sky Is Crying").  Personally, I think Mr. Moore is
much underrated.

Cheers,

Paul.
