Yes, 58 is no age at all to be getting a visit from Mr. Reaper... I saw Gary Moore a few times, both with his own band and as part of Thin Lizzy, and for me the best was 'Jailbreak/The Boys are Back in Town' era Thin Lizzy. The twin guitar setup and the contrasting styles of the two axemen worked perfectly together. Fantastic stuff.
<edit> I just realised that it was Brian Robertson who was in the band in the 'Jailbreak' era, not Gary Moore. D'oh... </edit>
On his own he had a tendency to 'virtuoso show-off-itis', but I guess when you're that good you can afford to. Very sad to see him go. And I know my little sister will be absolutely distraught. She worshipped the ground Rory Gallagher and Gary Moore walked on, and now they're both gone...
