Power guitarist Gary Moore's Live at Monsters of Rock is a dream come true for every guitar freak out there.
Teamed with his trio of Cass Lewis and Darrin Mooney, Moore turns it up to 14 and powers his way through razored, crunching covers of the Yardbirds' "Shapes of Things" and Free's "Wishing Well" before delving into his own rather voluminous catalog.
Performances of the riff-laden "Rectify," the bluesed-out "Stand Up," and the completely adrenaline-fueled metal of "Out in the Fields" take this over the top.
But the final track, a deeply moving version of "Pariesienne Walkways," is a fitting tribute to the tune's original vocalist and former Thin Lizzy bandmate Phil Lynott.
There is nothing but pure power here -- no restraint, no mixing, no overdubs, nothing but pure Monsters of Rock power.
This is the guitar record Moore had been promising his entire career.
