Movie Reviews of Gary Moore: Live at Monsters of Rock

Movie Review: Gary Moore + Rock = Let me scratch my head on this one!
Summary: 5 Stars

And he hasn't missed a beat!!!! I just picked this up to cure my curiousity of if time has affected Gary's rock chops
and I got my answer with the first note played on Shapes of Things, Gary Moore proves again that he is still the
best rock guitarist period! My jaw hit the floor, as Gary Moore just shreds, and rips through new rock tunes, old 80's
rock classics from his solo years/Lizzy years, and some covers that just quite simply question why he had abandoned
rock music for almost 14 years.

This DVD concert is incredibly done! The sound and picture quality are first rate. Beautifully shot with multiple cameras
but not over done (ala Iron Maiden's Rock in Rio release). Gary and his band just smoke. The band was touring in support of their Scars
album released in 2002. Gary's band only consist of 2 other memeber. Cass Lewis on bass and Darrin Mahoney on drums.
That's it. No synths. No keyboards. Nothing but guitar, bass, and drums. And of course Gary's vocals.

Gary was opening for Whitesnake on this tour, and was given a 60 minute performance time to crank and he waste none
of that time. 10 songs performed including Shapes, Free's Wishing Well, Scars' Recitfy, Stand Up, and Just Can't Let You Go.
Walking By Myself and Out in the Fields from Garys solo years, and (his pre-days in Lizzy's Don't Believe A Word, which he just nails
with a twin guitar sounding solo/leads (You'll ask yourself as you watch, how does he do it!!!) Gary's encore is the
scorching, mesmerizing Parisienne Walkways. And since Moore is just hot, he does not fail on this. All together
a 60 minute rock marathon!!!

Now, do not be scared off by the low running time of this DVD. The special features are just the icing on the cake!!! Although
it is not very detailed on the DVD case, the soundcheck footage is AWESOME!!!! You see Gary and the band crank out
and additional 15 minutes live on stage. They do Shape of Things and Don't Believe a Word. Also, you Gary just jam a bit
on his guitar. The last special feature is the interview which last around another 15 minutes and is very very worth while.
Gary is a very intellectual guitarist and does not just sit there and go "duh this and duh that". This 30 minutes of bonus
footage push the DVD running time into 90 minutes, instead of the 63 minutes listed on the DVD case. Very very nice.

All in all, if you are a Gary Moore fan, or just a fan of guitar rock, you will not be disappointed with this.

Welcome back to the world of rock, Gary, I can't wait to hear MOORE!!!!!
