Was Gary Moore zum Bluesboom beigetragen hat, muß nicht wiederholt werden. Mit dem saftigen Live-Album "Blues Alive" verabschiede sich der Ire aus der Szene, um sich vorerst wieder härteren Tönen zuzuwenden. 13 Songs, von "Pretty Woman" über "Story Of The Blues" bis hin zu "Still Got The Blues", sorgen für einen respektablen Abgang. ** Interpret.: 07-08

Known for his scintillating guitar work with bands like Skid Row and Thin Lizzy and his recent blues recordings, Gary Moore is absolutely scorching on this live recording taken from his 1992 world tour. He hits the blues licks hard and heavy for the majority of this album, but occasionally slows down the pace (but not the intensity) for mellower numbers like "Story of the Blues." Of special note is the appearance of Albert Collins on the cut "Too Tired."

James Morman - June 1, 1994

COLD DAY IN HELL

So many times you tried to take the best of me.
So many times, now you're gonna take the rest of me.
Better look at what you're doing before it's too late.
It's a fine line you're treadin' between love and hate.
There'll be a cold day in hell
before I'm coming back to you.

So many times you tried to play a dead end game.
Yes, you did.
I tried to tell you, but you'd never wanna take the blame.
Now you've pushed me to the limit, and I can't take no more.
You'd better take one last look before I'm out the door.
There'll be a cold day in hell
before I'm coming back to you.

You never listened when I told you
that you were way out of line.
Too busy talkin' to listen,
accusing me of telling lies.

So many times you tried to get the best of me.
Yes, you did.
So many times, but now you're gonna take the rest of me.
Well, it's too late for sorry and it's too late for tears.
Better take one last look before I disappear.
There'll be a cold day in hell
before I'm coming back to you.

There'll be a cold day in hell
before I'm coming back to you.
There'll be a cold day in hell
before I'm coming back to you.
Yeah!


WALKING BY MYSELF

You know I love you
You know it's true
Give you all my love, babe
What more can I do?

Walking by myself
I hope you'll understand
I just want to be your lovin' man

I love ya, yes I love you
With my heart and soul
I wouldn't mistreat you
For my weight in gold

You know I love you
You know it's true
Give you all my love, babe
What more can I do?

Walking by myself
I hope you'll understand
I just want to be your lovin' man

Here we go!
Keep on walkin'!

You know I love you
You know it's true
I give you all my , babe
What more can I do?

I'm walking by myself
I hope you'll understand
I just want to be your lovin' man

I said I'm walking by myself
I hope you'll understand
I just want to be your lovin'
I just want to be your lovin'
I just want to be your lovin' man
That's right.


STORY OF THE BLUES

My baby she left me, my baby she's gone.
My sweet little angel has spread her wings and flown.
Can't think of a reason for going on.
>From this day I will play the blues.

She said it was over, this time it's the end.
Bad luck and trouble gonna be my only friend.
I still can't believe it, after all we've been through.
Everyday I will play the blues.

Everybody knows what the blues is all about.
It's a pain you can't live with.
It's a woman you can't live without.
She came from Chicago.
She read me the news.
In the headlines was a story of the blues.

They say a broken heart can always mend.
Time is the healer and sadness will end.
But I've done so much crying, when will I laugh again?
Till that day I will play the blues.

Everybody knows what the blues is all about.
It's a pain you can't live with.
It's a woman you can't live without.
Could have cried me a river
when they told me the news.
On that day was a story of the blues.


OH PRETTY WOMAN

Oh, pretty woman
Sure's the rising sun
Says all your cheap paint and powder
Ain't gonna help you none

'Cause she's a pretty woman
Right down to her bone
So you might as well
Leave your skin alone

Pretty woman
What's the matter with you?
Can't make you love me
No matter what I do

Oh, pretty woman
Whatcha gonna do?
You kept on foolin' around
Till I got stuck on you

So you can drop your mess
And come down off your throne
Stop using my poor heart
As just a stepping stone.

Pretty woman
What's the matter with you?
Can't make you love me
No matter what I do

Oh, pretty woman
That's all right for you
Now you just go on doing
What you wanna do

But someday when you think
That you've got it made
You're gettin' water deep enough
So you can't wade

Pretty woman
What's the matter with you?
Can't make you love me
No matter what I do

Oh, pretty woman
Oh, pretty woman
Oh, pretty woman
Oh, pretty woman
Can't make you love me
No matter what I do
No!

Can't make you love me
No matter what I do
No!
Can't make you love me
No matter what I do

Oh, pretty woman
I just can't make you love me
Oh, no


SEPARATE WAYS

What is it that you want from me?
I really wish I knew.
I try so hard to do my best,
but it's not good enough for you.
Over and over again
we will make the same mistakes.
Over and over again
there's a feelin' I just can't shake.

Is it time to go our separate ways?
Is it time to go our separate ways?

You know I need your love so bad.
Can't you see what you do to me?
I try so hard to understand,
but the truth's never plain to see.

Is it time to go our separate ways?
Is it time to go our separate ways?

Time after time we will try to understand.
I don't know where we went wrong,
but there's no use in holdin' on.

Over and over again
we will make the same mistakes.
Over and over again
and it's more than a man can take.

Is it time to go our separate ways?
Is it time to go our separate ways?

Is it time to go our separate ways?
Is it time to go our separate ways?


TOO TIRED

Yeah!
I laid down last night, too tired to wake
I had a chill this morning, too tired to shake
I got a good poker hand, too tired to win
I can hear my baby knockin', too tired to let her in

I'm tired
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm tired
Too tired, too tired for anything

I'm too tired to walk
Too tired to run
I can hear my baby callin'
Too tired, too tired
I'm tired
Yes, I'm tired
I'm tired
I'm too tired for anything

Take over Albert, I'm too tired for this!

I'm tired of prospherity
I'm tired of luck
I'm sittin' on a pin
I'm too tired to get up

I'm tired
I declare I'm tired
I'm too tired
too tired for anything

Oh, Albert I'm tired
You better take over Albert
I'm too tired baby


STILL GOT THE BLUES

Used to be so easy to give my heart away
But I found out the hard way
There's a price you have to pay
I found out that love was no friend of mine
I should have known time after time

So long, it was so long ago
But I've still got the blues for you

Used to be so easy to fall in love again
But I found out the hard way
It's a road that leads to pain
I found that love was more than just a game
You're playin' to win
But you lose just the same

So long, it was so long ago
But I've still got the blues for you

So many years since I've seen your face
Here in my heart, there's an empty space
Where you used to be

So long, it was so long ago
But I've still got the blues for you

Though the days come and go
There is one thing I know
I've still got the blues for you.


SINCE I MET YOU BABY

I used to wake up in the morning with an aching head.
I couldn't remember anything I'd said.
My friends told me I was getting out of line.
If it wasn't for you baby, I'd be doing time.

Since I met you baby,
you've made a new man of me.
Since I met you baby,
I'm happy as a man could be.
Yes, I am.

I used to think I was better than the rest.
Ain't no doubt about it, I was no second best.
Didn't seem to matter what was right or what was wrong.
I did some crazy things before you came along.

Since I met you baby,
you've made a new man of me.
Since I met you baby,
I'm happy as a man could be.
Yes, I am.

Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby,
I'm happy as a man could be.
One more time!

Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby.
Well, since I met you baby,
I'm happy as a man could be.
Yes, I am.

Happy as a man can be.
You tell 'em Gary!
Yeah!

Look at the tears rollin' down the street

And she was walkin' on down the street

KING OF THE BLUES

He was born in Mississippi 1924
He was born in Mississippi 1924
Left his home with no money
He had to pay his dues
But he knew the time was comin'
When he'd be king of the blues
King of the blues!

Lost his heart to a woman
Lucy was her name
Lost his heart to a woman
Lucy was her name
Yes, it was
When he hears her sing so sweetly
He knows he just can't lose
When he holds her in his arms he knows that
He's the king of the blues

He's a Hunter with a Crosscut Saw
Born Under A Bad Sign
Caught his baby messin' down the Laundromat
He Almost Lost his Mind
Yeah!

He was born in Mississippi 1924
He was born in Indianola, Mississippi 1924
Yes, he was!
He doesn't need no jester to keep him amused
He's got Lucy by his side
He's making headline news
Doesn't need no palace
Like Freddie down in Dallas
You can call him what you like
I call him king of the blues

That's right
Mister, Albert King of the blues
Yeah!
King of the blues.
Let me hear ya!


PARISIENNE WALKWAYS

I remember Paris in '49.
The Champs Elysee, San Michelle
And old Beauolais wine.
And I recall that you were mine
In those Parisienne days.

Looking back at the photographs.
Those summerdays spent outside corner cafes.
Oh, I could write you paragraphs,
About my old Parisienne days.


JUMPIN` AT SHADOWS

What can you say?
There isn't much to tell.
I'm going downhill
and I blame myself.
I've been jumpin' at shadows,
thinking 'bout my life.

Everybody points their hand at me.
I know I'm just a picture
of what I should've been.
I've been jumpin' at shadows,
thinking 'bout my life.

What can you say?
There isn't much to tell.
I'm going downhill
and I blame myself.
I've been jumpin' at shadows,
thinking 'bout my life.
