LIve on the OGWT fron the TV Theatre, Shepherd's Bush. This encore was not orginally broadcast. I know this is posted elsewhere, but I think this might be slightly better quality.
As a french guitarist, i like all genres, because, I love music so much, for me it's just about emotions, not a genre, and i worked as a roadie on monstruous shows in FRANCE, and i got the chance to see real huge bands, except my master HENDRIX, and PAGE with LED ZEP, i was too young, but i saw PINK FLOYD in 1994, Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Deep Purple, SANTANA, CLAPTON, DIRE STRAITS, BEN HARPER, i worked with classic musicians too, jazz, etc.....I'm only 44, but, believe me, i know what i'm talking about when you're a roadie, you make the sound check with those legends, sometimes they let you play with them, you can hear the sound, it's magic....So, listen to me: FOR ALL THE RORY GALLAGHER FANS, WATCH THE CRAZY SHOWS I DID IN FRANCE, A COUNTRY WHICH WELCOMED HIM SINCE THE BEGINNING....THE "LIVE POUR CHORUS", IS MAGIC, ESPECIALLY THE BULLFROG BLUES VERSION AT THE END😂I CRY ALL THE TIME I WATCH IT! THE PEOPLES COME ON STAGE, NO BODYGUARDS, RORY PLAYS AT 10 CENTIMETERS OF THE PEOPLES, YOTALLY CRAZY😂AND RORY FINISH THE CONCERT CLIMBING THE AMPS, IT'S MAGIC😂😢OR THE 1974 CONCERT IN FRANCE, IT'S COMING FROM ANOTHER GALAXY....❤PEACE FROM FRANCE ✌️
MsLEHMANN69 Fuck Cork Airport,Dublin Airport should be renamed Rory Gallagher Airport.He did after all say although not born there,it was his favorite city in the world.
Time keeps on ticking... Going through a box of old ticket stubs not long ago. My first rock concert: May 19, 1973 East Tennessee State University (lol yeah, I'm old, but still above the dirt...) Rory Gallagher - ZZ Top 4 dollars It was about two months before Tres Hombres came out. (Dusty Hill's 24th birthday, I came to find out on his passing) It was Festival Seating and I managed to get about 15 feet from mic center. Rory Gallagher was pure fire right out of the gate, and his band was phenomenal. (particularly Lou Martin on his electric piano) Rory was amazing to see play and I think that he had as much fun as anyone. Then, Billy Gibbons and the boys came out. Back when they were the most badass blues rock band that ever was. Straw hats, jeans, no beards (but Frank. lol), and BG in a white tshirt w/ pack of Marlboros rolled up in the sleeve(lol). Needless to say, Rory and Billy made a big impression on a 16 yr old. Blues rock, slide guitar nut ever since. RIP Rory, Rod, Lou, & Dusty. Thank You! Keep Rockin' Billy, Frank, & Gerry
Criminally underrated .. he deserved much more that he got .. he was uniquely best . Let's make him famous now .. let people know about him and let them get the feel of real music too
Heading down to Rory's Birthplace of Ballyshannon, County Donegal, for the Festival with my electric guitar. I hope to play and sing this song. One of the years. behind the bassist Gerry McAvoy. my version will not be brilliant but will do.
Bullfrog Blues by the Great Rory Gallagher is superb ! I just love it ! Rory was a real master. I went to his conserts five times and still have very fine memories - once we met and talked. Rory was a very nice person! :) John Coolman
I was privileged to see Rory in the early 70's at the Riverside Theater in Milwaukee WI and what a show it was! Only 2 people who I know of play like this -Rory and Johnny Winter .🤘🎸
Rory Gallagher was just voted the best musician to come from Ireland, beating out Thin Lizzy and U2 by a wide margin. It's a crying shame that more people here in the US don't know about this man and his bass player for 20 years Jerry Macevoy (sp?). His slide playing is sweet and spiritual for my soul. Thanks
@@Tessmage_Tessera My apologies, I didn't mean to sound like an ahole knowitall. I found Rory back in 1977, and I've been trying to spread the word about his godlike status ever since. I live in Ohio, and even people who like rock music here aren't familiar with his genius. So every chance I get I try to raise his profile because in my 50 + years of music, he's among the top 5 I've ever heard. Thanks
What a band. Blistering juice from all members led by Rory. This is rock and roll at its best, which created the solid rock which blossomed in the early 80s. Crying shame that this music was not appreciated at the time.
RORY IS THE BEST, THE MOST HANDSOME, THE MOST BRILLIANT. THE LORD OF THE BLUES ROCK. I CAN'T FIND WORDS TO MEAN WHAT I FEEL WHEN I WATCH HIM PLAYING HIS FENDER AND SINGING. HE'S A GENIOUS. HE'S A STAR, NOW IN HEAVEN.
I saw Rory play in London about 35 years ago. I hadn't heard of him then and he blew my mind. I reckon he must have had about nine encores. Incredible musician!
Wonka275, well said. Whether Lou was playing on A Million Miles or being Mr. Honky Tonk, nobody could tickle the ivories like Lou. He's in good company with Rory now. Bless them both.
You're the Man Rory !!!!!!!! And boy , can Gerry play that bass !!! Wow !!!!! I saw then in Sydney Aust mid 70's or so.......I had never heard of Rory before , and he BLEW my 16 year old mind !!!!!!! Fell in love right then and there...with the man , and his awesome music. Saw them again a few years later and a friend went in the back door and brought Rory out !!!!! He gave me his guitar pick from his pocket , and my mate got his drummer's sticks !! Wow !! And a kiss for each of us....such a nice man !!! Missing you Rory , but at least I have wonderful memories , and the music will always remain ♥ xxx
OMG...Now that was as real as it gets..no frills or gimmicks..4 guys playing for the sheer love of it. What a guitarist and performer Rory Gallagher ...a legend
When i see this true pearl of live music, makes me sad that Gerry is the last man standing from this lineup. Rory, Rod and Lou are jamming in another world 🤟
Saw him play at UCW Aberystwyth in 1982, an incredible gig. Everyone on their feet up and boogieing. Went the bar afterwards and he was happy to chat and sign autographs. No front or side to him whatsoever. A criminally underrated talent and a lovely guy. Forget Clapton, Page etc, Rory was the real deal.
That final shot...did I see a whisp of smoke? Takes me back to the Ulster Hall in the 70's, Rory was one of the few to venture into Belfast in those dark days...and we loved him for it,still do,the only star I've wept tears of his passing. Rock on Rory!
What a virtuoso he was....one of the best ever! Yes he was shy and charming: I have beeb luchy enough to have a beer with him in bar in Montreux in 1970 and he was still with Taste at that time playing Sugar Mama like a hell and Gambling Blues too....whaouuuu! 40 years ago and still right in my mind! Thank you Rory!
My neighbours are music teacher's, played with the likes of Jimmy page. Never listened to our rory until he met me. Now hand his students can't get enough awesome RIP.GREATONE
That was utterly stupendous. RG and all his band. Absolutely brilliant. Came across it by accident and have now bookmarked it for repeat views. An absolute knockout of a performance.
I remember rory in the Christchurch town hall New Zealand . My first concert in the 1970s. Absolutely outstanding. He will live on in my mind till I die.
Rory's rocking riffs are an audible delight, one of the greatest, he left a tremendous legacy, the music to be enjoyed for generations to come, thank you Rory!
Hell ya I was playing hands off in the car the other day and my daughter goes 'Daddy is this rock n roll?'. I go it sure is, the best kind of rock n roll!
Nothing really gets me going like Rory's music. Thank heaven for these live performances on RU-vid that otherwise many people, especially in the US would never be able to see.
Incredible guitar man Rory, probably the best of them all world wide & certainly one of my very top faves and a great all round musician songwriter & incredible ‘Live’ performer. The power and energy here is just incredible & the atmosphere has you right there in the venue and I know - as having been there in moments just like this. This number has always been a Rory Showstopper and arguably this is the best version right here played by his strongest line up right the way through:- Continue then to rest in peace Rory Gallagher the forever King 👑 🥁of Blues/Rock Chris 🎼
+Jacob Swafford Very well said.. Needless to say I agree 100%.. (PS: Gerry MacAvoy is just as much of a legend in my opinion... If Rory was the God of the six-strings, Gerry was the God of the four) Respect on your impeccable taste, from Davey in Ireland :)
+David Hughes, Gerry is a complete gent. Meet him a couple of years ago in The Spirit Store in Dundalk. Spent a good bit of time talking to him. He's in my top 5 bass players. Playing again in October if you're anywhere near it
This just reminds me of Rory Fest.....What a fantastic, gifted, soulful and amazing musician...the greatest our country has ever produced. RIP Rory 'Gone But Not Forgotten'.
YES, INDEED, I ALSO CONSIDER HIM ONE OF THE GREATEST BLUES BASS PLAYERS ! Gerry was the other marvelous half of his friend, THE MAGICIAN RORY ! What else to say ?
Rory Gallagher interested Festival 2024, starts today in Donegal, going tomorrow and never missed it, best 4 days of the greatest artists from all over the world 🌎 😀 👍 😊
This is so, so incredibly good bluesrock. I love Rory and his music. When he sings"give that boy a six-stringed steel guitar" with that special look in his eyes, my heart bleeds...
This was my introduction to Rory Gallagher. After seeing this I went to a record shop and found an album with this track on it. Brilliant. Lost the album years ago, but I recall the cover was a picture of Rory shaded with multi-coloured crayon. In 1999 I was in Los Angeles working with the Inglewood Police Department and the guy that I was working with was Dutch, Dirk Dewachter and he had been a roadie for him in Europe. Small world.
Well, Roy sure sounds like he was born on back road south of Greenville (MS), not on the other side of the "pond"! Well, early Clapton pretty much did too, whether playing rural country blues or loud and proud Chicago style!
Legendary performance of the most underrated guitarist of all time and furthermore an two amazing bass and drum solos! His songs make me wanna drink whiskey til my liver blows up, RIP RORY
