4.0 out of 5 stars
The Best Blues Man Around!, August 25, 2005
This review is from: DVD GARY MOORE BALLADS & BLUES 1982-1994 & LIVE BLUES (featuring B.B. KING) (DVD)
I have to admit that Gary Moore is now my favourite blues guitarist! It's his tone! And those killer bends...he has got complete mastery of his instrument. Now, I love BB King. Were would the blues be without him? So many have learned from him. But as in all other areas of human endeavour, there is upward progession.. and Gary Moore is the result! The foundation was laid by BB, Peter Greene and too many others to mention. Gary aptly taps into and draws heavily from that deep well and the result is the kind of blues we've been waiting 30 years to hear!
If this DVD does anyting it proves how masterful of a blues player Gary can be.
I give it 5 stars for Gary's amazing playing but only rated 4 and probably should be like 3/3.5
The video is ok. the sound is good. Unlike Gary at Montreaux, where the sound mix was in DTS (as in "it don't any better than this!:) and the footage A-1..this Live Blues could have been much better.
Also this DVD is somewhat suspect. Under Ballads & Blues (there are two parts to this DVD), the package says there are 10 different videos (and so does the product description)--yet there are only 7 on the DVD! and no live versions there either!
Nevertheless--get it! I wish I could have found it brand spanking new somwhere, but this will have to do! Don't worry tho, you'll still be pleased you did..in fact, it's a "must have" for us Gary fans!
