@@sarahboller5912 Check out his birthplace in Ballyshannon, there's a statue of him in the center of town and a festival in his honor every May. If you are near Dublin, he's in the Irish R and R HOF. Cork, where his family moved also has a Rory Festival, but I'm not sure when.
Rory was in a league of his own. Wish I would have discovered him years ago. As a guitar player who loves R&B , I cant get enough of watching this guy play his heart out. He is currently my #1 guitar legend that inspires me to play more. Thank you for posting.
Saw him open for Fleetwood Mac and Deep Purple.. April 1973 Las Vegas Convention Center ! Rory stole the night.. and was speaking only... TO ME !! Hehe ✌️ Still a complete fan , even today !
One of the very best slide players I've ever been lucky enough to see. I've seen Noel Reddings mouth fall open watching this guy play. ( he was stood in front of me at a gig in cork ) Noel Redding played bass with Hendrix..
taken from another vid of this concert: Rover Glover, the bass player and producer of Deep Purple said "With his covered in scratches 61' Fender Stratocaster he told the world everything he had to tell".
How could 20 people give this a thumbs down? They must be tone deaf or a Justin beaver fan this is brilliant playing here second to none he’s in my top five of all time master class players the late great rip Rory and these 20 people need to get a life!
Long after the PR departments have packed up, young kids will still be discovering Rory Gallagher and saying "WOW!!! I never knew music could sound so alive!"
yup he did everything out of pocket without ever signing a record deal or having a PR firm behind him, yet through touring and word of mouth he managed to sell 30 million albums
Back in -72 73 Rory played in Washington DC when he had days off from touring he would play this little club called My Mothers Place . Many great came through those door like Roy Buchanan & Link Wray. Saw him there in March twice & once in 75 also in DC at the know defunct but famous club The Bayou. What a gracious man he has that love the crowd & the music he loved to play along with his own greats. It was a privilege for myself as a still learning guitarist . Saw some of the greats back in the 70's like the original Allman Brothers & the late great Terry Kath . These along with Rory took me on the path to play as they did with conviction & the passion that music took anyone that was lucky enough to have been around in those awesome days. Like them my teacher drove one of the most important things any player should know , be yourself no matter how much toy want to emulate your heroes. Lessons well learned just as Rory Terry & those in their caliber did . We miss them all Jimi as well.
@@mrbizzarro Thanks . Saw Terry in 69 at The Atlantic City Pop Fest which was two weeks before Woodstock. Then again in Maryland in 1970 three months before the famous Tanglewood show. Amazing players make for the best influences . If you would like to hear the out come of these influences please give a listen & feel free to leave me a comment. These are only audio clips & one is the band i'm in currently.

@@mrbizzarro Mr. B You can look it up there is plenty of info & the 3 day set list www.setlist.fm/festival/1969/atlantic-city-pop-festival-1969-6bd6feda.html. Just a few that were there Iron Butterfly, Chicago ,BB King, Santana Blues Band , Johnny Winter though he didn't play as he had equipment problems. Dr. John, Jefferson Airplane Janis Joplin, Procol Harum when Trower was still with them , Frank Zappa , Paul Butterfield Blues Band even Buddy Rich was there. Look it up . This was August 12th - 14 in 1969. Like i said two weeks before Woodstock . Jimi was slated to play but he was practicing with the new band for Woodstock & never made it. Then we had Woodstock & two weeks after The Texas International Pop Fest. i'm from MD. Please give my playing a listen ,as it was these guys that were some of my best influences.
@@paullevine1813 Yes, I did look into it. What a lineup! Over 100.000 people. I wish there was audio....what a bummer. You can see how Woodstock snagged up lots of their ideas for the festival. Thanks!
This man music has the cure for all life's serious ills and injuries, In my younger days with my 9 brothers were very privileged to go and see Rocking Rory and his boy's playing gigs in our home town, Seeing Rory play live was like getting hit with the most powerful hurricane winds that left invisible marks in our heart and memories that will last for evermore, so Thanks a Million Rory and your boys
@@andym5195 Thank you for your very kind words, I was trying to give people the feel of what it was to see Rory and the boys in action, playing live, I tried but I failed to properly explain what the great Rory as like
Peerless Sinner Boy! My Favourite Guitarist 🎸 of All Time! Rory lived the Blues Superbly Talented but so very Humble with it Seen him n the Feelgoods the Most Times live than any other Bands! True Legend Remembered Forever! Bless up Beautiful Ireland n Rory the Irish Wizard Gallagher! One love Rasta Jake Bonnie Scotland the Brave
I had heard of Rory through the years growing up and seen pictures of him and his beat up strat. This was the song that finally introduced me to him. It was like a thunderclap out of a clear blue sky or sticking your finger in a light socket.
Nobody could do the cat call like our man Rory did, he was an all-around brilliant player, singer, song writer and one of the very best rocker every to grace the stage on Gods green earth
I was very lucky to ear Rory Live when i was young and i said to myself : this is the best white guitar player. Today after 40 years i think exactly the same thing. Great R. I. P. Rory ❤️❤️❤️
Saw Rory at Queen Mary college in East London. The man was a true legend and many guitarists admired him. He lead from the front and for a 3 piece band their sound was intense. RIP Rory you rock God.
When Murphy got to the Perly Gate he heard guitar playing he asked St Peter is that RORY GALAGHER playing St Peter said no thats GOD playing he thinks HES RORY 🎸❤❤❤🎸
It doesn't get any better than this ! Rory gave us all his energy and talent and shared it with all of us to have fun and good feeling to share together... Thanks Rory for the better times in my life !
Oh Thank you! I am glad I am not the only one who feels so strongly about Rory Gallager I just freaking can't find anyone remotely close to him! Nobody touches his talent or his class & spirit! He was the real deal man .. he leaves Hendrix in the dust to me! He leaves so many blues rock guys in the dust to me! Breaks my heart they let Bonanmass play that beloved Strat I would rather see a 10 yr old kid from Cork Ireland play that Strat .. well I;d rather noone had ever touched it but ...
I was at that as well Just brilliant. I have seen him in a few different venues but I think that was my favourite. Robert cray, BB king played after that first one and they were good as well. I think it was a heineken sponsored blues festival.we need those outdoor events in the city centre back. Thanks for reminding me of this.
Great tribute song by Rory to The Mississippy Sheiks. He never ripped anyone off as far as I'm aware and that's why today he's still highly respected and much loved.
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 A little more night music, mountain music for driving through the hills of Connemara
So agreed - but RG seemed like he was a beautiful cat inside and out ...The sad part is his birthday was just a few weeks ago - he would have been like 65 - he was taken waaay too young ..but am awful glad he shared his talent with the world - nothing beats a RG tune full throttle when your driving on a nice summer day... bought and sold indeed...
I dont know that Ive ever seen anyone pick and slide with so many tasty notes as this. Hes doing more with 3 fingers at 5:30 on that most can do with 4. This version might be better than the studio which is so often the case with Gallagher. Thats what separates him the most from other lead guitarists.
Yeah Rory had it all. Slide, fingerstyle, amazing vocals and a set list so much more advanced and diverse than the standard "bluesman". The only comparison I can give might be Skynyrd before the plane crash. But these guys did it with only 3 or 4 people.
this was Rory's strongest lineup imo. Ted McKenna's a beast on the drums and Gerry's bass playing was never heavier. Rory's guitar had more bite to it too, although I like nearly everything he ever did.
@@greatone7314 He was born in Ballyshannon, Ct. Donegal, moved as a baby with his parents to Derry City (Northern Ireland) and later to Cork, were he was raised...
They came from a desire to make music WITHOUT any help from Simon Cowell. They took the time to learn their craft by practicing and earned their spurs on the road. They didn't need to look pretty!
@mrmarriottsgirl I agree with you.. His beautiful soul shines right through, and I miss him dearly also.. Been a fan since childhood.. Thanks for sharing :)

One of my favorite Rory songs! Crazy slide playing absolutely amazing solo!
Rory Gallagher is the Guitarist by which all others are Judged.... Period!!
The slide and solo on this song are fucking unreal!! That’s music and pure raw talent!!
Absolutely 💯
Yes indeed, and he rarely features on best guitarist polls which is nuts. Not that Rory cared for that type of thing.
In standard tuning as well !!!
Rory was a one off never will there be anyone like him
Well Said 👍
One of my go to rory vids this absolutely love every millisecond
Rory - the greatest guitarist every.
I just discovered Rory a few months ago I'm 54 and I was just blown away by him..! 💚🔥✌
It's never too late to discover new music. 👍
@@mrbizzarro oh yeah definitely, especially when it's freaking Rory Gallagher! and I'm Irish as well. 🎶🎵✌💚

Rory our national treasure 🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪
he did not look at the guitar when playing .... what a great guitarist
The Best !
Of all the really great guitarists only Rory paid tribute to the Mississippi Sheiks
Rory was a king of guitar.. God gave him this talent.. Now he is playing in heavens and God is enjoying riffs and solos played by the king
Saw him open for Fleetwood Mac and Deep Purple.. April 1973 Las Vegas Convention Center ! Rory stole the night.. and was speaking only... TO ME !! Hehe ✌️ Still a complete fan , even today !
what a line up ! good lord! those all are the best bands! 🔥✌💙
Wow..He was amazing!
...the KING of the guitarist Heaven !!!
Unnadulterated genius
The master at work...RIP
Rory is such a great player and I hear he was a really cool guy too. Nobody around today with such a distinct sound. Really miss this guys playing!
One of the very best slide players I've ever been lucky enough to see. I've seen Noel Reddings mouth fall open watching this guy play. ( he was stood in front of me at a gig in cork ) Noel Redding played bass with Hendrix..

An incredible inspiration to musicians and a great example you can be a great person and a great musician with no rockstar attitude.
damn i love this one

Its just outrageous how good this is.no one will ever be near as good..
My feelings also . Nothing can come close to this
@@drummingearth5326 agreed but there is Gary Moore who is no slouch either and as good as Rory possibly
Gerry compliments everything he plays with such ease. RIP RG.
@@bobrheaume5774 Gerry is so solid on that bass, and is just as enthusiastic and energetic on stage as Rory. They work so well together.
J.D. NOBODY!! Pisses me off Donal let Joe Satriani play Rorys strat...fuckin sacrilous
Rory's love for the blues ! This world is empty without Rory !
truly great musicians have a humbleness and it always shows no finer an example than rory gallagher king of them all

@Abram Kaysen you are welcome =)

You can swear there are 3 or 4 guitarists in this line up but it's just the amazing Rory Gallagher making his sound!
I was very lucky to ear Rory Live when i was young and i said to myself : this is the best white guitar player. Today after 40 years i think exactly the same thing. Great R. I. P. Rory ❤️❤️❤️
If I had three wishes one would certainly be to travel back in a time machine to this night.
I would wish Rory to be alive again and get everything he deserves in fame department worldwide beyond fake pr other musicians ride on .
What a great riff and rhythm. Love this song and all his performances.
This song should be a lesson for all of the guitar players around..

Simply put, a genius of a guitar player. Legend nuff said ☘
He's so great.. Rory will live on for ever.
U kno, the more I listen he may have been the best ever! And I saw him several times, in Germany..
Rory is Awesome, and his bassist and drummer do fine work as well.
Have seen him something like 10 times, starting in 1982, Rory is an amazing star among the stars !
THIS. IS. NOT
ELEVATOR MUSIC !
this is REAL!
Elevator music... on the way to heaven..
What a great music, what a great musician
Probably one of the best live videos on youtube
How cool was this slide work?

yeah I agree why he was ever allowed to touch rory strat much less pick it up baffels me....
Bonomassa couldn't carry Rory's gym shoes.......shoulda never touched that 61 Strat....
Totally committed to each song he sang. Seen him once in Dublin stage out side the GPO free concert fair play Rip Rory. 💪
I was at that as well Just brilliant. I have seen him in a few different venues but I think that was my favourite. Robert cray, BB king played after that first one and they were good as well.

Apsolutno
The Irish Hurricane !!!! their was only one thing that could stop him...what a sad day
My God this guy was brilliant....
Today its illegal to rock like this....!!!!!
When Rory takes that Steel Slide out of his pocket, the song really takes off.
How he does it so casually as well, amazing performer.
Creme de la creme.best masterpiece of all his masterpieces...i think.
This performance puts almost everyone else playing the guitar to shame

Rory reached down and picked the crowd up..💚🔥✌
Pure raw rock, this is how it is supposed to sound. New musicians take notes!
Rory was so damn good!
So true, I first heard Crest of a Wave back around 1970 or 1971.I still get thrills from listening to that slide soar. So glad there's no cure.
Wicked slide, Rory was a powerhouse! Thank you.
100%
Shame that music business did a lousy job promoting Rory when he was at his peak.
This is from the Rock Goes to College DVD. Great DVD.
He was a true showman and a great guy! Thank god for Utube huh?
He was fuckin' AwE SomE player !
