Gary does not endrose this album very much, because this album, along with DIRTY FINGERS, was released by Jet Records (in Japan, first) without his final approval for the mix. Still to this day (and the booklet inside will NOT inform you that) I don't know in which year and date this show took place!!! Even the band line-up is a mystery. We have Gary, Aldridge and Airey for sure and, supposedly, Kerry Driscoll on vocals. But who was the bass player?!

Anyway, this a fine live album. The energy is breathtaking, Gary is in top form, the songs flow effortless. Good album.

Gary Moore shines in this early live recording from the now closed Marquee Club in London. Features Aldridge on drums, Kenny Driscoll (from Lone Star) on Vocals, and Don Airey on Keyboards. Doesn't sound much different from the version that is not remastered, but it's good to have the remastered version nonetheless. Check out "Run To Your Mama," "Parisienne Walkways," and "Dallas Warhead," as they are the best songs on this CD. All of the songs rock though!

PATHERSON, I always assumed this recording was from sometime in 1980: Three of the songs are from G-Force (which came out in '79/'80, right?), and Gary announces "You" as a single "we had out a while ago". No clue who the bass player is, though.

A pretty good album, with Gary in top form and with a solid band.

As with several of Gary's albums from this period, Live At The Marquee has been released with many different artworks. My copy has a red background, blue lettering, and Gary's shape and guitar in yellow.

This album was recorded over two nights at the now defunct Marquee Club in London's Wardour Street.
The dates are November 5 and 6, 1980.
The line up is as follows : Gary Moore, Kenny Driscoll (vocals), Andy Pyle (bass), Don Airey (keyboards) and Tommy Aldridge (drums).
It was first issued as a 12" album by Jet Records, simply titled Gary Moore Live. and reissued several times over the years with different titles and covers, by different companies.
This is one of my favourite albums by Gary Moore.

Great Album and CD I have both. but can anyone tell me whats special about MLPS? I doubt its worth the extra $40. One of my favorites back in the day. RIP Gary may your music live forever... If price no object get this one
