Live at Monsters of Rock is a live album and DVD Northern Irish blues guitarist and singer Gary Moore. It was recorded live on May 21, 2003 at Sheffield Hallam Arena in England, during Gary Moore's appearance on the 2003 Monsters of Rock tour. Despite being credited solely to Moore, the album actually represents a performance by Moore's short-lived Scars project, featuring Cass Lewis and Darrin Mooney on bass and drums, respectively. The band plays several tracks from their only studio album, released the previous year, as well as songs from Moore's extensive back catalogue.
