Gary Moore

Filmed at the London Hippodrome on October 25, 2007, Blues For Jimi is a master class of all the sounds and skills of Jimi Hendrix from Irish guitarist Gary Moore. Moore manages to play almost note for note some quintessential tracks by Hendrix, in a live performance that may make some Moore detractors think again. The sound is superb, the grimacing not too overwhelming, and Moore delivers quite a performance! By the end of the show even the die hard hacks come around to this selection of delights.

This concert from July 2010 was the last filmed by Gary Moore before his untimely death in February 2011. Gary Moore had been a frequent visitor to Montreux over the years playing a variety of styles. This show was very much a rock show and showcased three brand new songs as well as classic tracks from across his career. As a bonus there are four previously unreleased tracks from his 1997 performance at Montreux.

On August 20th, 2005, on what would have been his 56th birthday, a statue of Phil Lynott was unveiled in Dublinís Grafton Street by his mother. There to witness the event were members of Thin Lizzy from throughout the bandís career. Later that evening they joined forces under the leadership of Gary Moore for a concert that paid tribute to Lynottís memory.
