I think Rory was the greatest of all time I saw him twice in concert most exciting passionate guitar player of all time he was idol when I was a young lad and he still is my idol to this very day
Why is it that Rory makes every other blues man look and sound like they were just going through the motions? We'll never see another like him. He was in his own universe.
Rory's best line up imo. I love Rod's drumming style which really suited Rory I think., but they are all great. So fortunate to have seen Rory live in his prime in the 70s.
Took both my Irish parents to see our Ruarì at Hammersmith Odeon as it was back in 1977. Was great seeing watching their faces light up, An Irish generation long before him being so happy! 🇮🇪🥰☘️
The drummer is Rod de'Ath and the guy on keyboards is Lou Martin.IMHO the best line up of them all.Lou was no fool,only a fantastic musician and a great guy.
Rory played Guitar ,mandolin ,acoustic ,slide,saxaphone ,Celtic, folk,Blues ,Rock ,Jazz and wrote ,sang and kicked ass live .Sounds.Quite versatile to me!
Also knew his way around a piano, wrote great songs and sang them. In his earlier days he had a harp brace so he could play the harmonica AND his trusty Strat! Miss you my good friend.. RIP Rory...
mega310: The legend is that somebody asked Hendrix how it felt to be the premiere electric blues guitarist. He reportedly said: "I don't know, ask Rory Gallagher." I've never been able to verify that line from Hendrix. However, that's something Jimi could easily have said. He was extremely modest about his own abilities. Rory and Jimi came up at the same time, through different doors. Both were gods, in my opinion.
One of Ireland's finest .. Born in County Donegal and raised in County Cork... from one end of Ireland to the other .. from one end of our planet to the other there was simply no better blues guitarist... RORY was awsome .. R.I.P !
@MrDomino5 He has just become my new guitar hero and inspiration. So many riffs to learn from him man! I'm ashamed to say that I hadn't really discovered him until a few days ago though I had heard his name here and there over the years. You are a lucky man to have seen him live which sadly I am too late to ever have to opportunity to do.
Saw Rory live in El Paso TX in 71 or 72, hard to remember those years were a smoke filled haze think it was 71 had just gotten to El Paso. He was second billed to Ted Nugent and The Amboy Dukes. Rory Gallagher Blew the Nuge off the Stage he was Freaking Amazing, totally underrated and unappreciated in the States. I had never heard of him before that show but have never forgotten him since
I knew him before he was famous but only cause I lived across the border from his homeplace. He was older than me but he introduced me to blues rock and his music lives on
Rory was great ! I'm glad I've discovered his music, he's now one of my greatest guitar inspiration. My personal Top is: 1. Rory and SRV, two best guitarists ever 2.Jimmy Page 3.Hendrix and Clapton
I know. I know. But be thankful RG left a LOT of great music in his time. And be 2X as grateful you have TH-cam to see him live. When i first got into Rory in 94, there were only a few of his cds available. Now everything you need is right at your fingertips. Enjoy and be well.
wow that was an INTRO! some jamming around the main tune, some cool stuff, little impro... than "one two three four" BOOM. that shit blew my head away.
Not enough superlatives to say how sublime a guitarist/performer Rory was.Saw the man 3 times,like lightning in a bottle, Superb on stage. The Maestro ☘
Another guitar monster is the late great Danny gatton who was the worlds best guitarist along with Rory here both are my favorite players for a long time check out Danny his playing is otherworldly and complex playing all genres and mixing them together he was called the humbler and for a very good reason!
@@claytongillaspy8847 I think Buckethead might have them both beat as far as pure guitar proficiency,virtuosity ,and versatility goes. But that's just my opinion. If you listen to For Mom then liquid Mantis then Disinigration Mirrors then Listen For The Whisper its like is this really the same guitarist?
My dad saw him in Cork on the 1974 tour, he showed me the autograph he got of him and the band, i turned green with envy he said i was talking to him for a while i was real jealous
First time seeing this clip by Rory omg! From the intro this song just kills it. Rory has been and always will be one of my top 3 favorite players who are the other two? Well that will be another time! Rory just flat out kills it here!
been introduced to this guy a few weeks ago, and im totally blown away! he just makes it look so effortless. his transitions between riffs are fantastic as he uses techniques ive never seen before. loving the strat btw. looks like its seen better days though xD peace. x
That's D most famous Stratocaster EVER !! Made famous by the miles travelled and gigs played at the hands of master musician and innovation doing stuff Eddie Van Halen gets the credit for originating 10+years later. I'm glad you found him and know enough about playing to get an appreciation of Rorys unique magical licks. We loved him as a truly lovely humble person and accessable to the common man always..A pleasure.
Gorgeous. One of Rory's trademark songs, and personally, I love this band lineup. Rod is a great power drummer, Gerry is a splendid bassist, and Lou never got the credit he deserved as a keyboard player.
rory ! speechless! what can you say about this only absolutely amazing - has to be one of the best of all time i don't think too many would argue with that, amzazing talent, if only i had 1% of it, wish u were still here rory
Hendrix was the most original Guitarist of the last 50 years. Hendrix and Rory are my two favorite Players .Both fantastic ,Rory just had a wider range of styles .I hope they are jamming together in heaven!!
This made the BIG LIST, the net is the world's first jukebox, and this is the first contents of that music - the very best music from every place on earth that most have never heard.
Wow, never saw that clip before. That's my favorite Rory song. Incredible. Love the Brian May quote below. May seems like such a humble guy himself and for him to speak so highly of Rory. Speaks volumes.
I love that little behind the nut trick Rory does. it sounds horrible and somehow wonderful at the same time lol. brilliant performance, his voice sounds good
This a quote from Gerry McAvoy: Rod de'Ath was the most undrummer drummer I played with. Rods technique was so strange it added a different dimension to Rorys sound. The drummer must be Rod, he played with Rory between '73 and '78.
I saw Mr Gallagher in the mid 70's playing at a club in Glasgow,Scotland when i was in the service and had never heard if him before.We actually went to see Uriah Heep who were great that night.Rory came on 1st and we were in shock,he was ungodly.Energy exploded off the stage and his guitar sounded like it was being played by some alien from Rosewell,NM,nuts.After that we sure as f*ck knew him.Never forget the 'Irish Rocket'.
I saw Rory in the early 70s at Sullivan County Community College. It was a freakish great show. He was so under-rated. A great singer and fantastic guitar player.
I was at a Violent Femmes/Flogging Molly concert this past September in Big Flats, NY. All the t-shirts were there. And then I saw this young guy, early 20's or so, wearing a Rory Gallagher t-shirt. Probably was embarrassing to him that a 60 something woman ran up to him gushing about how cool his shirt was, but hell. It was a Rory Gallagher shirt worn by a really young person!
w/o whammy bar, he pulled the strings the guy was a thrilling guitarist AND one of the hardest working players on the planet; like, he's outta breath he plays so hard.

im only 14 and i am addicted to rorys music. i just wish more people would apreciate him. hes without a doubt the best guitarist ever.
@rhuntley862 .. I was just wondering .. what are your thoughts on Rory now? .. greetings from the Netherlands ..
Yeah I wanna know too
I think Rory was the greatest of all time I saw him twice in concert most exciting passionate guitar player of all time he was idol when I was a young lad and he still is my idol to this very day
And now youre 26. Hoping that youve kept your addiction 😎👍
You can't go wrong with Rory!😊🎸💯💥🌟🤟
Why is it that Rory makes every other blues man look and sound like they were just going through the motions? We'll never see another like him. He was in his own universe.
Let me loudly proclaim : this guy belongs in the hall of fame
There needs be be Guitar God Hall Of Fame with Rory Gallagher, Buckethead, and Roy Buchanan in it
I agreed❤
this was rory at his brilliant smokin best. nobody else played like this
He's one of the most genuine and unpretentious musicians I've ever seen.
someone that never let themselves be bought or sold. he lived with integrity and serves the next gen as an inspiration.
Rory was born to be a legend and died as one.
Gawd I miss the 70's.....
Rory's best line up imo. I love Rod's drumming style which really suited Rory I think., but they are all great. So fortunate to have seen Rory live in his prime in the 70s.

Nice!
Before SRV there was Rory.
Us Texas Boys loved his rocking blues style.
pure rock n roll soul...i almost cry every time i see this video
Deeply he was Bluesy....
Now there's a man who loved his job. god bless, Rory.
The definition of rock and roll is Rory Gallagher Plain And Simple
The drummer is Rod de'Ath and the guy on keyboards is Lou Martin.IMHO the best line up of them all.Lou was no fool,only a fantastic musician and a great guy.
never "forgotten" to me and never will
Talented guy and handsome to boot!
When I saw him on Don Kirschner rock in 72,he performed this tune and I was hooked.At 65 years young-still am.
Rory played Guitar ,mandolin ,acoustic ,slide,saxaphone ,Celtic, folk,Blues ,Rock ,Jazz and wrote ,sang and kicked ass live .Sounds.Quite versatile to me!
Harmonica too.
Also knew his way around a piano, wrote great songs and sang them. In his earlier days he had a harp brace so he could play the harmonica AND his trusty Strat! Miss you my good friend..
RIP Rory...
So great... Love you forever, Rory... :'(
who wants to be in rock´n´roll's hall of fame?
RORY'S IN OUR HEARTS

i never saw guitarist that play perfect like rory gallagher
This man is badly missed all over the world.

I first saw him play as a warm up band for Rush in the early 80's. Been a fan ever since.
I knew him before he was famous but only cause I lived across the border from his homeplace. He was older than me but he introduced me to blues rock and his music lives on
Steve Grahame great!!
tell, tell, tell!
@@guitarsinger7382 Great song please check out Rory Gallagher Debut Album Review on my channel
Were he that easily accessible ? Even after becoming hit did he remain approachable !?
Yes he was always approachable but I rarely saw him after that as he was always touring and I had moved away to work
Listen to rory almost every day and still he takes your breath away amazing
I listen to him every day. His music accompanies me on all my bicycle rides. Not to mention the treadmill.
Same same overhere in the Netherlands Rory was and still is my favorite❤
Not just the best Irish, one of the all time greats!
Glad Rory is finally being discussed among the greats now. He deserves it more than anyone
God bless you Rory - you left us far too soon. You, Jeff Beck and Stevie Ray are my fave 3 guitarists of all time.
Rory' 3 CD set "Blues" is excellent! Off The Handle and A Million Miles Away and Born Under A Bad Sign w/Jack Bruce are amazing!
This is my favorite guitar ever.
If you were to take out all of the glitz, lights, glamor, and gimmicks of the live stage performances and just graded the talent, RORY is on TOP.
That gents, is how a true rocker does it! Rory was so amazing. This is raw and real. Freakin' brilliant! Peace.
Those who know Rory Gallagher have a “taste” of music
Rory was great ! I'm glad I've discovered his music, he's now one of my greatest guitar inspiration. My personal Top is:
1. Rory and SRV, two best guitarists ever
2.Jimmy Page
3.Hendrix and Clapton

raw natural talent in absolute abundance and then thousands of hours of practice
simply awesome!! The Greatest of all-time without any doubt! Long live the King RG!!!

The best display of folk and hard driving slow blues in one song. “ Railway and Gun” gotta go and refresh my memory.
rory the greatest live player ever !!!His loss makes me so sad .rip
What a fantastic guitarist
Just the intro alone
~~~HE IS THE GREATEST TO BE EVER PUT ON THIS EARTH........
Song starts and the sound drops out. Magic.
This is the stuff of kings!
Rory is truly the GREATEST of all!
How tragic he died so young!!
rory ! speechless! what can you say about this only absolutely amazing - has to be one of the best of all time i don't think too many would argue with that, amzazing talent, if only i had 1% of it, wish u were still here rory
Rory is one of the great modern blues interpreters
This is how you know why the Strat is the best guitar in the world
Big regret never seeing him live...love you Rory ..one of the greats !!!!!
The best!! Real deal, never sold out or gave a shit about trends or styles, he lived it everyday..
Merci MESSIEURS RORY GALLAGHER JE SUIS allée le voir en concert 7 fois LOVE
Hendrix was the most original Guitarist of the last 50 years. Hendrix and Rory are my two favorite Players .Both fantastic ,Rory just had a wider range of styles .I hope they are jamming together in heaven!!
King Rory the BEST six stringer on the planet
One, Two , Three , Four.....Allright Rory.......! BEST for EVER ! RIP
Kept it real all his life. What a man!
This made the BIG LIST, the net is the world's first jukebox, and this is the first contents of that music - the very best music from every place on earth that most have never heard.
Wow, never saw that clip before. That's my favorite Rory song. Incredible. Love the Brian May quote below. May seems like such a humble guy himself and for him to speak so highly of Rory. Speaks volumes.
rory you are still alive for us
Great version of one of my favourite Rory Gallagher songs... definitely one of the greatest guitarists ever! R.I.P. Rory
Great guitarist. Him & Hendrix, the two greatest ever.
He was Awesome no doubt, one of my favorite guitarists. I smiled when I noticed the coiled guitar cord, definitely of that era kids...
I love that little behind the nut trick Rory does. it sounds horrible and somehow wonderful at the same time lol. brilliant performance, his voice sounds good
Once again, the master puts on a blues guitar clinic.
the Sky is Smiling Amazing Performance Rory Gallagher!!!
That is just Smokin good
Got to love McAvoy's power stance...
Best bassist ever
Its funny cause I didn't even see him and I knew exactly what you meant
Eddie Van Halen.... eat your heart out!!!!!! No one can play like Rory Gallagher!!!!!!!
This a quote from Gerry McAvoy: Rod de'Ath was the most undrummer drummer I played with. Rods technique was so strange it added a different dimension to Rorys sound.
The drummer must be Rod, he played with Rory between '73 and '78.

what an amazing and inspirational guitarist R.I.P
WOW what an intro! Great powerful track, and good sound too!
he is the best for ever in my hart and soul(rip)Rory you was the best ever.
Gallagher was a total mechanic on that freakin axe. A mick with mechanical rock and roll flowing through his veins.
No one writes good rock and roll like this any more
Fantastic, incredible, Rory the best.
Hottest Irish Musician of his time. Wanna be back there.
What a gift. Just incredible! The whole band is fantastic here in this clip. Thanks for posting this. It really takes me back.
What a tone!!! Rory is a real legend!
love Rob De Atth on the drums... great band...
I saw Rory in the early 70s at Sullivan County Community College.
It was a freakish great show.
He was so under-rated.
A great singer and fantastic guitar player.
SIMPLY AMAZING!
I cant decide... this or the Irish Tour version...
Arghhhh!
Both so awesome!
Smashing performance. AAA+++
This has flavorings of Bo Didley's "Who Do Ya Love".
The slide says it all....Go Rory...Go!
That intro though. Never ceases to amaze
One of my favourite guitarists. Rory was incredible. :-)
I was at a Violent Femmes/Flogging Molly concert this past September in Big Flats, NY. All the t-shirts were there. And then I saw this young guy, early 20's or so, wearing a Rory Gallagher t-shirt.

the guy was a thrilling guitarist
AND one of the hardest working players on the planet; like, he's outta breath he plays so hard.
This guy is awesome he nails it...
If i was Rory i would be the best 🎶🎵
Great stuff folks. This 70's vibe is something else.
