Gary Moore - Live At Montreux '90

Gary Moore is one of the best rock and blues guitarists ever to come out of Ireland. Born in Belfast he moved to Dublin in the late 60’s joined a band called Skid Row and met Phil Lynott, who shortly after left to form Thin Lizzy. Moore stayed with Skid Row for three albums before joining Lynott briefly in Thin Lizzy. He then joined Colosseum II (which also featured Don Airey on keyboards) before going solo and having a huge hit with Parisenne Walkways, which featured Lynott on vocals. This lead to a further short stint in Thin Lizzy, including their classic album Black Rose.

In the eighties he began to seriously pursue a solo career which has combined rock albums, blues albums and more experimental material. In 1990 he released Still Got The Blues which went on to be his biggest selling album around the world.

This concert from the Montreux Jazz Festival was recorded on July 7, 1990 on the tour for Still Got The Blues. It features the band used on that album and special guest Albert Collins, who had also appeared on the album. Nine of the tracks in the set are taken from that album, three of which were UK hit singles.

As a bonus feature three of his biggest rock hits, Out In The Fields, Over The Hills & Far Away and an over 10 minute long version of the classic Parisenne Walkways are included from his concert at the Montreux Jazz Festival on July 9, 1997.
