"This audio collection showcases Gary Moore's shows at the Montreux Jazz Festival from 1990-2001, right after the "Still Got the Blues" album. By that time, he quit rock music and moved on to his first passion which is the blues. He plays with great feeling and his voice is filled with anger and sorrow. His show in 1997 takes a different beat. At the time, he was promoting his "Dark Days in Paradise" album. The music is different, but the professionalism and feeling is the same. All shows are the exact soundtracks to the 2-Disc DVD set of the same title, but more songs are included. This is a perfect collection for any blues/guitar/Gary Moore fan. It showcases the fiery blues with great passion and Gary Moore's versatility and virtuosity is apparent when viewing or listening to this collection.

"Wow nice to get some quality audio releases from these incredible shows. This is a great collection of live shows from across the years for his amazing shows at Montreux. For fans of his hard rock years this set isn't for them. If you have been a fan of his across all aspects of his career then this is the set for you. Although some of his hard rock songs do show up on here it's the blues numbers that really shine. The set has been released (for the most part) on a two set DVD, there are several tracks that were not released on the set. This makes for a compelling reason to get this set. Is it expensive, Yes. Is it worth it, YES. The one thing I would like to see is more of the rest of his live career appear in a nice format like this, Would love a nice full live set from BBM or Colosseum II, or from his tour for the Black Rose LP with Thin Lizzy. Let's go Virgin Record either open the vaults yourself or have another smaller label do it. Wounded Bird Records comes to mind. Doesn't really matter who releases them let's just get them out to the fans."

"I bought this box set today. I didn't have time to listen to it all, I just picked the 1990 cd and listened till the song "texas strut". Oh, let me tell you people, this is not just music this is music above all music, it puts all music to shame. I was thinking to throw all my cd's away after listening to some of this. I have all kinds of cd's from north, west, south, and east. This is the best I have heard. Thank you Gary for the music. It is worth every penny and more."
