Gary Moore: Definitive Montreux

It’s not that often that you get to watch a musician’s career as it develops, but that’s just what you get to do with this fascinating 2-disc set. The film culls the best from more than a decade of the bluesman’s shows at the Montreux Jazz Festival, showcasing Moore’s excellent guitar playing and versatility as a singer. What makes it really fascinating is watching the Gary Moore from 1990 and then switching to the Gary Moore from the 2001 shows. There may be a big difference in the look of the man through the decade, but the passion for playing remains the same.
