Rory Gallagher ~ ''Edged In Blue'' & '' Do You Read Me'' 1976 

Seen Rory live at the Ambassador Theater in St. Louis Mo. in 1974. I was 14 years old and I still remember that show better than what I had for dinner yesterday.

No 1, the best. A great performer, singer and just an amazing guitarist. Rory you are missed by so many who saw you on stage and sadly all those never lucky to see you play live.

42 years ago, on 20th November 1981, during the College Challenge Tour, in England, and after a gig, I waited in the autograph queue, and then the next thing I knew everyone behind me fell away. Then my relative returned . She had ordered a taxi. The upshot, We were the last people in the queue who spoke to Rory that night. Soon after that, the band left the venue. A few minutes later Donal materialised and from then on Rory and Donal stayed with us for quite a while. Enough time for me to get to know them both. We found ourselves to be quiet alone with them. The brothers were very kind and polite. So much that the gentlemen took a shine to us both... So bearing that in mind, I behold a natural and precious memory of Rory and Donal. So considerably so that I have written my own story of how my memory of meeting the brothers recently surfaced. Sure my emerging book theme is set in my past and explores who I am but my account of Rory in my narrative is very special. In all this time, and I have certainly searched the globe too, I have not found another captivating observation of Rory's personality and lifestyle like mine. He was indeed understated in his manner yet he communicated. He used ESP. He linked with me on another level entirely. Anyway one day soon and I know I still have a long way to go ( But when I have gotten my book done) I hope you will see what a beautiful soul Rory possessed for yourself.

I've cried enough tears to fill up an ocean, Surely you see that my world's been broken? Here I am, where are you? Help me please, pull me through. Here I am, where are you? All my days are edged in blue. You made up your mind and nothing can change it, You want to be free but I can't rearrange it. Here I am, where are you? Tell me please, what to do, Here I am, broken into, All my days are edged in blue. I'd go anywhere, if I thought you'd be there, 'Cos I've made up my mind that's where I belong. I've traveled the world 'cos I couldn't be told, Told by my heart that you really had gone. I'd go anywhere, if I thought you'd be there, 'Cos I've made up my mind that's where I belong. I've traveled the world 'cos I couldn't be told, Told by my heart that you really had gone. Yeah... Our lines got crossed through all things unspoken. A tangle of knots not easily opened, Here I am, where are you? Help me please, pull me through. Here I am, where are you? All my days are edged in blue. Here I am, where are you? Help me please, pull me through, Here I am, where are you? Can't you see I'm edged in blue. Ohhh... Ohhh...

Truly beautiful playing by The G Man. God rest you Rory. Always a hero. Never forgotten...

Уникальнейший музыкант, самородок!!!! Вечная память и любовь к твоему творчеству.

As the years pass, I find my admiration for Rory’s talent increases, he was an unbelievably great guitar player and a real gentleman ✌🏻🎸

It is evident to me that rory was an immensely intelligent and also sensitive man. He was an all round nice guy. A nice genius.

WE miss Rory Gallagher !

The greatest ever

Happy Birthday, Rory. You will forever have my thanks.

I've cried enough tears to fill up an ocean, Surely you see my will's been broken?

on ne t oublira jamais

Went out in 1975 to buy Calling Card as I had grown up with Live in Europe. Have to be honest and say I was initially a bit disasapointed as I wasn’t expecting Rory to vacate his throne as the high king of the rock and blues sound. The melodies just reel you in though and Edged in Blue is a fine example of what should be considered up there with any of Rory’s studio albums.

MASTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for posting

This is awesome! thanks.

Very few things bring tears to my eyes an more, the pic w the doggie...Uncontrollable (wonder if it was his?) RIP (ROCK IN Peace)

2 of march 1948 A great day for the Irish Margo

When Jimmy Hendrix was asked what it was like to be the world's best guitar player he said, I don't know...ask Rory Gallagher.
