Post Description

For years we've had to settle for the dreadfully directed "Irish Tour" movie, or inferior quality bootlegs sold on Ebay. Well, your prayers have been answered. "Live at Montreux" is a stunning collection of live concerts that captures Rory at his very best, from every stage of his career. There are four shows (75, 77, 79, 85), each about half an hour in legth, plus the entire concert from '94, and a bonus compillation on acoustic tracks. In all, there's about four and a half hours of material. The sound quality is amazing (dolby digital and DTS). The lighting, cinematography, and editing are all top notch. The performances are superior to any of Rory's live CDs.

Rory tears through "Tatoo'd Lady" and "Cradle Rock", delivering impassioned solos which are far superior to previously released live versions. "Garbage Man" is a slow blues tour deforce. On "Laundromat", Rory pulls out all the stops. The '75 performance was shot on film rather than tape, and the cinematography is amazing, adding drama and tension which serves to compliment the music.

By 77, Rory begins to move away from strictly blues-rock, and his music takes on a harder edge, as can be heard on the tracks, "I Take What I Want", "Shin Kicker", and "Shadow Play". "A Million Miles Away" is breathtaking and impassioned as always. On "Too Much Alcohol", "Out on a Western Plain", and particularly on "Pistol Slapper Blues", a textbook example of piedmont style taken to insane new heights, perfectly shows that, as a master of the blues, Rory was a virtuoso at every form.
