Gary Moore at Notodden Blues
Festival
5th August 2006
Place: Brygga
(The Pier)
Audience: 6000 - Sold Out
Weather: Clear sunny sky and 30+ Degrees Celsius 
Great day in Notodden, lots of people in town
that day... probably close to 20.000... Lots of gigs from 1200 till midnight
I arrived in Notodden around 1200 together
with friends and family.... We entered the "Brygga"
around 1400 and partly listen to the warm up acts, fine blues performers...
He continued with 'All Your Love (2006)' in great version. With 'Since I
Met You Baby' he really got the crowd going with his solo, one of the better
versions I have heard for while with this song.
Then he announced the next song he not normally do a song from the
'Still Got The Blues' Album - 'Midnight Blues'. He did a fine version and
strange to remember the version from Hammersmith Odeon in the Dark.... here he
played in full sunshine
'Merry Go Round' was played very distinct and in the slow version we
know. But I surely missed 'I Loved Another Woman' from the set, as he didn't do
it at Hvaler either.... But he only does this song
when he feels for it.
The slow intro of 'Don't Believe A Word' was great a bit in 'Jumpin' At Shadow' Style. Nice and moody slow version,
before it kicked into rock and the audienced followed
easy.... Great solo, bit short....
Next was the intro of 'Empty Rooms', 'So Far Away' great feeling I got
when I heard the first notes of the song.... Nice version and then we got Empty
Rooms, and he got the guitar out of tune and needed to change it after a verse
or so, but that didn't stop the song. The band played on,
Next up was 'Too Tired' great version and had to laugh in the first
verse, with short guitar duell with the 
... So the eyes had a hard time to follow Gary solo.
Next was oooh not again...... Yes it was 'SGTB', well you can't play a festival without it....... Big
cheers when they heard the first notes........ But they were surely warmed up
before that, with music and the sun..... this turned the heat up even more, for
the most of them...... It was an okay version, a standard version with the
normal licks and bit more advanced solo than I have heard the last times...
Crows loves it, and I have got tired of it.....
'Walking By Myself' wasnot a wake up call for
'SGTB', but we are here to have great time.... Great
Sing-A-Long reaction from the crowd
The sound engineer put on the music low, as he was unsure if
But we got the his first UK 10 Single: Parisienne
Walkways was very good, nothing more to say, missed the long note the first
time, but had nice communication with the crowd when he hit it....
Another great gig, not on lazy day, he delivered as we known
The Band sounded very compact and great, backed up
Good to see that
Sound of the was perfect, even though if one of the speakers had
problems one of the high tone. Sound it was busted......
He justed used the Signatur
Les Paul (two of them) and the Red Gibson 335, as you can see of the pics......
Enough mocking around....... Those that couldn't make..... you missed
something great! 
This was like Langsund 2002, Drøbak 1999 and Molde 1997 just
great! Whenever

Gary
Moore, Bob Daisley and Darrin Mooney live in concert!
2. July 2004 - Østfoldhallen,
Having the chance to see Gary Moore again was great. He haven’t
been in
What I write
in the review is all my opinion and my observation before/during/after the
concert. Feel free to send me your comment of it.
The concert
should have been played on Fredrikstad Stadium, but
was moved during the last week. The official explaination
was to protect the grass at the football pitch, but I believe the slow tickets
sale were another reason to move it. But the weather haven’t been as it normaly are in June/July , it has been cold and rain a lot.
I didn’t mind the change to indoors. So we ended up at Ostfoldhallen in Fredrikstad, it
was about 2000 people attending. With so few audience they just used just half
of the hall. Where were the promotion? I expected at least 4000 people,
especially when the profit should go to the local youth team in football. No
Euro 2004, beginning of summer holiday! And all the ‘Local Heros’ being there!
So finished
with that, there was a 3 warm up bands. First out was “house” band
with 4 different vocalist (just local heros), one was
the
Phew!!
Finally we were only waiting for Gary Moore!! 21:30 sharp he entered the stage,
looking fresh and ready to rock! Kickin’ off
with an rocking version of ‘Oh Pretty Woman’ and the audience are
responding with a cheer. A fine standard version of the song, next is
‘Power Of The Blues’ it’s similar to album version, but it
works better live than I excepted. It’s rocking and the rhythm sections
are pumping a great with
The sound
in the hall is excellent, I was standing just behind the mixing desk. For the
first shows in a while the bass isn’t too loud or
A song not
played at the
‘Can’t
Find My Baby’ is played fine, but it’s nothing extraordinary from
the album version. Then we get an other ‘Baby ‘ song,
Darrin
Mooney told me after the show that they haven’t reharsed
‘Memory Pain’ for this concert,
Audience
favorite #1, they finally woke up and rise from their chairs! Your guess is
right, nothing else than ‘Still Got The Blues’. It’s an ok
version, but it’s getting like a walk through!
Next is
‘Since I Met You Baby’ a fine version, with some great guitar
playing and with some roaring solos......
First time
I get to hear ‘Don’t Believe A Word’ live, he makes terrific
slow version. It’s melodic and passionate version, shows alot a feeling with he guitar playing, as he done all the
concert. Then changing to the fast version of the song, the drums and bass
sounds just amazing keeping the beat and the guitar just keep on rockin’. This version much better than the
‘Monster Of Rock’ version.... much more feeling!!!
Audience
favorite #2, ‘Walking By Myself’ and the rise from their chairs
again..... With a walk through version,
First
encore is ‘Fire’ and is sounds fresh and rockin’.
Darrin and Bob are backing
The return
one final time to play the audience favorite # 3; Parisienne
Walkways. Darrin and Bob keeps a perfect rhythm and
This an great
evening with Gary Moore and band for about 73 minutes +/-. The audience
wasn’t outstanding, as the performer.........
My advice
is go and see
There were
several lucky people getting

Strings for the latest updated news and tour dates!
6th June 2004
Check out the Gary Moore - The Lord Of The
Strings for the latest updated news and tour dates (6 shows in June &
July confirmed).
The new album Power Of The
Blues is to be released tomorrow. I would say was very pleased with it and no
instant surprises. It’s a typical Gary Moore album combining his old
styles of blues with some rawer sound. Here is a track by track comment from
me, how I think of the album.
1. Power Of The Blues
Here get the
feeling of leaving the Back To The Blues sound and merging to the Scars sound
in terrific mix and change of tempo. Short but great!
2. There Is A Hole
Here Gary Moore really proves his talent with the raw sound with perfectly rhythm
section. He keeps the tempo not too fast or slow with this song and really let
the guitar do the work. One of my favorite of the
album, and the track that shows an new side of Gary Moore.
3. Tell Me Woman
Nice slide and wah wah guitar sounded song, with
standard blues lyrics and tune. Getting great memories back to the ‘Still
Got The Blues’ album.
4. I Can’t Quit
You Baby
This is an nice traditional sounded Gary Moore live song. I got the feeling I
heard parts of it before. It was true, it is close to instrumental parts of the
re-work version of The Sky Is Crying live from the 2000 tour. It surely brought
many great memories from those gigs back in time. This is sure must live number
for the summer shows.
5. Thats
Why I Play The Blues
Here I get a bit of retro of the After Hours guitar sound. Great song with
great feel and melody. With touch from the guitar riffs/licks of Midnight Blues
in a different context. A favorite of mine from the
album.
6. Evil
Nice version of the cover. Would also been interesting the Scars sound.
7. Getaway Blues
Great getaway song with rawness and allows
8. Memory Pain
Finally,
9. Can’t Find My
Baby
Here my reflections goes to
10. Torn Inside
Why this was a hidden, I don’t know. But it surely a hidden treasure.It’s nice a slow and moody blues tune.
It’s a great tribute to Peter Green and his Fleetwood Mac. I get
flashbacks to Love That Burns and Peter’s vocal. It’s just amazing
great song!
But when it comes down it
all, it’s a retro album with a rawer sound. It’s nice to hear
