Summary: Moore Shreds Right Before Your Eyes
Review: If you appreciate Gary Moore for what he is...arguably one of rock's best electric guitarists, you will thoroughly enjoy this dvd. Moore's playing has few peers and it shows on this release. The sound is great and so is the camera work. The version of Phil Lynott's "Don't Believe a Word" is worth the price of this dvd alone. The only reason I did not rate this at 5 stars is the length. Yes the original concert only ran a little over a hour; but for a medium that can hold 4 hours of material, some interviews, backstage footage or bonus stuff would have been nice.
Chances are if you a dedicated Gary Moore fan you already own this, if you don't just get it. For any casual or newcomer to Moore's work, you need to see him live to appreciate just how talented he really is. Add to cart now, you won't regret it.

Summary: Dissapoiting....
Review: Iwas dissapointed watching this DVD. I think the idea of just a basic rock band, with guitar, bass and drums was a good idea, but Gary's mates who are playing bass and drums simply don't care! They are playing like if they were not interested with the show, showing no guts, no energy, no vibe. Maybe they're reflecting the audience's lack of interest. I was shocked by this. They are playing alongside one of the most underrated guitarrists of all time, and apparently don't give a dim about that...

Also, Gary's performance is very uneven, maybe because his carrer was always a little bit unfocused and irregular, so the set lilst is a shamble.

Gary's physical apperance is also disturbing, but this is not the important thing. He is playing his white guitar apparently in unusual manner, like he, also, don't care about the gig. Very weird.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: What a surprise...
Review: Over 50 years old and still an amazing hardrock guitarist, who would have thought so? His melodic soloing is quite exceptional by anyone's standards, including people like Dave Gilmour and Jeff Beck. This DVD serves as an excellent showcase of his chops and will hopefully inspire a new generation of rock guitarists. As a singer and song writer, Gary Moore has never impressed me. Even though the new material from the latest studio release "Scars" does sound relatively fresh, it is not surprisingly the old Phil Lynott classic "Don't believe a word" that provides the highlight of the concert.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GARY STILL KNOWS HOW TO RIP IT UP!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Long Time Fan Dislikes This One
Review: Where to start, Well the playing is excellent but the vocals are horrible. Other than the new songs from his then current disc he forces all of the vocals on this. I was glad to see the older tunes on this release but could of done with out the harsh vocals. I was also not very happy with the length on this DVD. Oh well I'm waiting for the Gary Moore:Live at Montreux 1990 DVD I know that one will be better. Being a fan for over 25 years I can't say to the casual listener to buy this this is for hardcore fans only.
