I remember the Rory reissues first coming out, and this song had its middle 8 removed completely - which was unforgiveable in my book. Here we have it the way Rory intended, with the middle 8!
Me and my brothers were at this concert, the thing about Rory Gallagher gigs that we attended was they were all flipping brilliant, each concrete was better the ones we had attended before, Rory and his boys got better and better each time we got to see them play live, I am one of those every lucky few people to now own one of Rory's old guitars so I will to lean to play of Rory's songs in the coming years
The most brilliant, very great and most holey Rory Gallagher and Gerry & Ted, what a brilliant band Those were the days when you could get top rocking bands to play live on TV, Rory would not have it any other way, no mimning from Rory
I spent years traveling back and forth to work at an Iron ore mine. I was fortunate enough that the young man in charge of the mess hall was a proud son of the emerald Isle.
When You'll Be Mine, Right now Rory I am one of those lucky people to now own a Rory Gallagher Guitar, I was not allowed by Bonhams to place my money on Rory's main guitar, the excuse they gave me was I could not afford it, I told them I would sell my house, land, horse and cattle and I also lived near a town that has got a band and if needed more money to pay then I would get the necessary extra money from the bank when it was closed down over the weekend, But don’t worry I did get that very rare and beautiful Tulip shaped Rickenbacker Combo 400 1957 guitar, Thanks a million Rory Galagher & God above. When Will You Be Mine, Right now you are mine, but I will also share with others around me Later I may loan this guitar out to selected Rory fans who are good players of his music.
Jimi H. said it all when asked about what's it like to be called the greatest guitar player in the world....his reply "well, you better go ask Rory Gallagher!!!"
A buddy of mine dragged me to see Rory at UC Irvine in SoCal, 1977, and I had to buy the beers, unbelievable show, we were 12th row, blew my head off. Rory was so unique at that time, carving his own path, 'One of Us' playing what he loved. All my respect Rory, and thanks for such inspiring rock.
First gig I ever went to was to see Rory at Wolverhampton civic Hall 1972..then saw him again in 84 or. 85 at Aston leisure centre Birmingham he was superb both times
