Rory playing rhythm guitar for a karaoke performance. So sad. Great fun show but what a waste of a magical player. A charming man, Rory, you are missed so much by so many. Thank you for the beers and the memories. Top man!
In the first seconds i thought on the slide that must be David Lindley. Then the guy started singing and i thought: Oh my god, that's Wolfgang Niedecken.
I read this kind of comments all the time on YT. Probably true for the common public, but not for me and a lot of musicians of his time. I believe Rory had several offers to join well known rock bands and there's the famous comment from Jimmy Hendricks about what is is to be the best guitarist in the world.
@@lillyk2315 Maybe it's just an urban legend, but Jimi Hendrix was once asked “How does it feel to be the greatest guitarist in the world?” his alleged answer was “I don't know, go ask Rory Gallagher.” Implying that Rory was the best.
Wolfgang Niedecken - voc, Rory Gallagher - g, David Lindley - Slide Guitar, Eric Burdon - voc, Klaus "Major" Heuser - g, Schmal Boecker - Percussions, voc, Alexander Büchel - Keyboards, Gerry McAvoy - Bass, Brendan O'Neill - drums, Ian Wallace - drums, John Cooke - Piano, Ray Beavis - Saxophon, Harold Casey - Saxophon a.o. What a band, what a performance!
David Lindley’s guitar work kept that stage show from totally getting away from them. Lol. Loosey goosey but fun to watch. I hit the “play” button for Rory btw.
…”..so very talented.. “ And a talent matched only by his softly spoken brogue. Such characteristic quiet modesty belied his corollary searing guitar and energetic body language on stage. Truly Rory Gallagher was the people’s guitarist. We can but envy the saints and angels rocking out to his ultimate and eternal singing, playing and composing genius on the eternal and infinite stage. As the Almighty, the Son of God and Man and the Paraclete look on and listen to Saint Rory of Ballyshannon. And on the Saturday night, He stepped back and looked upon his creation - and saw that it was good . The apogee of his blues-rock path for mankind to the peaks and clouds of divine riffs, hooks, and vibrato of the most passionate Stratocaster
Typical Rory, bless him. The best player, writer, and performer on the stage by a long measure. Yet with all these over-blown egos, all he wants to do is stand at the side and play a few inaudible cords.
First time I've heard this and I've listened to loads of the G man.....superb rendition....hes just the greatest guitar player ever. Rest in peace beautiful man xxxxx
I really like this version as it reminds me of my younger days on stage. It taught me many lessons. (Being stoned and drunk on stage). Don't do that any more.
@@Juno58 The first came during The Mike Douglas Show when Hendrix had become the toast of the town. Douglas asked Hendrix: “What’s it was like to be the best rock guitarist in the world?” Jimi then beautifully responded, “I don’t know, you’ll have to ask Rory Gallagher”
Absolutely great video! Thank you! So great to see and hear Eric Burdon... The Animals were one of my favorite groups back in the. 60s. We Gotta Get Out of This Place was the MOST popular song in Vietnam while I was there. Every band in country played it at the EM Club at least once every night. There would be a riot if they didn't! Just recently discovered Rory Gallagher (thanks Ken Bruen for the tip & RU-vid for the exposure). I'm 76 years old and I thought that I had heard all the greats... boy, was I wrong! This guy was phenomenal. Tremendous guitar player and singer. Just wished I knew of him earlier. I love discovering a new writer or a new rock group - especially from the 'old' days when music was music. I put Rory up there with the greatest... and by greatest I mean Jimi, Janis, Moby Grape, Jefferson Airplane, Blind Faith, Rolling Stones, Van Morrison, Joe Cocker,Cream, the Kinks, and Jim Morrison. I also need to include the Animals in that group of GOLDEN AGE greats. Rory, you belong with these guys! I guess it's never to late to teach an old dog new tricks. RIP Rory...so happy I discovered your music before it is too late.✌
In contrary to many other electric guitar virtuosos Rory Gallagher was also a master at playing acoustic guitar and he was a great singer as well. The fact that he is not as famous as others is mainly because he refused to release his music on 45rpm singles. Check out this video where Rory plays acoustic guitar live at Montreux ; ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xLr-p_rsxFU.html
That was pretty freaking amazing. A lot of people have done this song. It is a great song this is one of the best renditions ever heard, yeah I’m 63 I’ve heard a lot
Listen to Brian May's interview about his early inspirations and guitar sound He got it from going to watch Rory and speaking to him backstage. Rory's sound was pretty simple and Brian got a Vox AC30 Amp too. Brian May still keeps much of that sound today.
Mays' sound is processed to the point of sounding almost like a synth. Rory might have used a boost at one point but, I'd have to look that up. Sound wise though, they don't compare.
what a player and a fine tribute from slash. Rory u up there at the pinnacle with Jimi Eric jpage Pete green and Jeff beck. your music will stay with me till I get off the bus.
Eric Burdon. Never was one like him before and never will be again. To bad the camera man didn't understand that the slide guitar wasn't playing all the solos.
I know they are having fun, but they should still give a good performance for the people who paid to see this. Just let Rory sing and give him all the guitars
They weren't that bad, for a bunch of drunk guys, "Too much alcohol" I think? Rory Rules, what a legacy of work he gave us. We are all so very fortunate to be able to relive these moments as if we were there. Right?
My God! First time I’ve lucked across this literal embodiment of ⭐️studded legendary talents who amplify each others’ contributing performances ensemble
What a session! It's the german Band BAP with Wolfgang Niedecken (12-String) and "the Major", Klaus Heuser, together with Rory Gallagher, David Lindley and Eric Burdon
Its a jam folks. Stop getting uptight. This is how those go. Rory was letting his friends have at it. If Eric Burdon showed up to one of my gigs he could have the mike all night. Rory let his guitar pals have at it. No fuckin ego. Thats all
Sim, sempre vai haver discordância. MAS isso não muda os fatos: gostando dele ou não, não há como negar o quão fenomenal ele era - e não apenas tocando! Ótima voz, excelente compositor e quando subia no palco, simplesmente arrasava!!!!👏👏👏👏
How come Rory didn't take a solo? Probably wanted to give the other guys a chance, cuz if he did he would blow them away... Lindley sounds amazing here!
too right dave lindey is a superbly talented musician of more than 40 years in the business I still remember EL RAY OX all these musical critics/experts wouldn't have the talent of his nail clippings Listen to his tribute to Rory in collaboration with the Great Ry Cooder
Nobody beats Rory Gallagher. Hasn't in the past and won't do so in the future. Hendrix was right when he stated that he's only the best guitarist when Rory is not around...
