Footnotes

This Gibson guitar was played by Gary Moore during key performances in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Notably, it was used live at Montreux 1997, during a performance of One Good Reason, and again at Montreux 1999 for Tore Down.

The guitar also featured during the Hellfest 1997 appearance, part of Moore's Dark Days tour, and was used in European live dates between 2000 and 2001, making it a well-documented instrument from a significant period in Moore's post-Blues Alive touring career.
