Someone ought to put his best performances on dvd and tour that around the cimemas. Put that bad boy up on the big screen where he belongs. Introduce him to a whole new generation of fans. Turn em all into heads that rock.
The great City of Limerick was never the same since Rory played this here, The fisher way out on the deep blue stop fishing and returned to port, tied up their boats, went home to wash and put on their best jeans and shirts and brought their wifes and girlfriends down to the savoy so they could meet and greet Rory and his boys to their town, Rory rocked this place so much that after the building had to have its foundation underpinned and re-supported. This explains the power Rory Gallagher
If you're into electric blues, you just can't past the fact that Rory was simply the best that ever was. He really makes everyone else look and sound boring. That's just the way I see it.
Saw him 2 days later in the Regina cinema in Waterford......he changed my life in terms of music....Rory our national treasure 🇮🇪🇮🇪☘️slán go foil a buacháill.
Got one of Rod’s drum sticks from Feb. 1976. Rory played 4 shows over 2 nights at the Bottom Line in NYC. I sat 3 feet from Rory’s mic. At the end of the first night, I stayed behind while the stage hands were cleaning up . I saw the broken drum stick and asked if I could have it. The guy just handed me the 2 pieces.
His guitar solo ideas is endless you can tell his creativity was a way level up than many so called legendary guitarists you can tell when they are beginning to run out ideas on stage with recycled solo but this genius just went on and on and never bored you with the same licks
awwwww...sad end. I got to meet this great when they rolled into Boise Id. He was opening for Rush during their "Signals" tour. I had a backstage pass and was there from 2pm until end. Got to greet him and the band like I said, he gave my son a coke! R I P Rory we love U!
Every time I get drawn to watch yet again another performance I go to more than several more sometimes ending after 3 or 4 hours. Very addicting and just very real...his love for the music. Love him.
Calling heaven/ is Rory there? yeah,. hold on.... Rory/ hello. hey Rory you checking out how much we love your music many years later? Rory/ yeah,...just checking out RU-vid myself,... freaky. WELOVEYOURORY.
The Boogie Woogie Man. The man from Company B & R.. A man blessed with immense talent. A man of true grit and great kindness, His like was never seen before and possibly will never will be seen again. The one and only, the master, the very brilliant Rory Gallagher. He had the power to lift the roof of a building during his concerts. He could shadow play the very best players off the stage
Thanks to Joe Bonamassa, for bringing a spotlight on this video thru his "monday night blues" link. Rory was awesome, and I know Joe worships him as much as we do !
James, hello again, Rory's cousin. You, sir, have a very great & active imagination to say the least. I ran across your commentary about the poor chap & his "rags to riches" event after listening to & experiencing Rory's talents. You definitely are also a talented wordsmith . Great video of the great man in his younger days and sounding awesome as always. From Mississippi with my thanks.
Fantastic,I was at the gig two nights before in the Regina cinema in Waterford............changed my life. Sla’n go foil Rory a buachaill ta tu un far. Emmet
Hi,,Great video..I saw Rory over 10 times..even met him in 72...and this vid comes closer than most what he was like in those days..like the intro when he lets his guitar ring open ..he had a real magic to him.. Thanks Dave
@@moemulkey2264 Hi Moe I agree.my.only regret..the band was loading the gear into a van and station wagon..Rory gave me + buddy a beer and his guitar case was against his leg..He would have let me hold it .if I had thoght of it...Dave
Pretty sure this was the first time live with Rod on the skins. What a start up super group. Good luck finding something else remotely comparable. EVER.
Rory got me into music when I saw him on the Old Grey Whistle Test back in 74. I was just 6. Brilliant. The only guy who is more talented than Jimmy Page in my opinion
It'll be 50 years on November 1st that I saw Rory at the Montreal Forum. Rush and Nazareth were the back up bands. We walked in on Rush who had just started their first song. I had been to a lot of concerts, but had never heard anything like Geddy. I compared his screaming to that of Robert Plant and Ian Gillan. What a fantastic night of music.
I had the pleasure of knowing Rod and Gerry way back when they played the Bridge house Canning town London E16 ,lovely guys, and still miss Rory so much RIP Rory !
Brings back memories!! And then suddenly round about 72 we all had to SIT down in concerts.Could never understand that....how could one hang loose with all that rockin going on. Still cant understand it really.
Guy Incognito ........I liked his work with Cream but then things went downhill (or commercial). I lost all respect for Clapton after he made truckloads of money off a song about his deceased child! (Tears in Heaven). I only mentioned him as he also performed this. Rory on the other hand, continues to delight.
Linda Jones can not stand Clapton! guy got sour whenever some one better came along (especially the Hendrix thing haha) the man believed he was god and yet there were tons of players 50x's better than he was. Iommi was (and is) a better blues player than he was!
He was quite reluctant to release Tears in Heaven, but a close friend, I believe, convinced him. I personally prefer the Clapton version, but to each his own, I guess.
in all objectivity, Gallagher was the MUCH better song writer compared to Clapton. And his style was also much more richer. Clapton was the so called god for the (mainstream bluesrock) masses but he could only dream about writing songs like "a million miles away" or many others, Rory has written. I think Clapton is a nice guy, but definitely one of the most overrated guitar players (and especially composers) of all time. Let's be honest. Clapton was best as a cover artist. His own songs (with a few exceptions, of course) don't have that much value...at least not for me.
You've just witnessed the absolute daddy of electric blues. Rory played with passion, intensity, and conviction as a matter of cause. The new pretenders need to study this footage,take heed, and bow before a real artist.
@Seven Wonders of Ireland Rod did a great job backing Rory. I don't think Rory ever played the same song the exact same twice. He was always experimenting. A real master, he was!
