YES HE IS!!!!!? Still undervalued, underestimated, underrated, the most exciting player ever!!!
Jerry the bassist played with Kim for 30 yrs.
THE most humble guitarist ever
I knew Rory pretty well: first saw him in 1968 at the Woburn Abbey Festival - and then 37 times after that. I took him to supper, played his guitar hall a dozen times and spent many happy hours with him.
He also played saxophone, harmonica, mandolin, slide guitar and was a great songwriter.
My daughter Isobel Thatcher (new single Wings on TH-cam) met bass man Gerry McAvoy last year in London and they had a great chat about Rory and his songs.
Thanks for putting him on your show. He was the finest all-round musician I’ve ever known and the kindest, politest man imaginable.
RIP dear Rory, 1995.
Thank you❤
My pleasure!
👏👏👏🙏🙏
Thanks for checking out Rory! This is really just the tip of the iceberg of Rory's spectacular musical abilities. He was a self taught multi-instrumentalist (guitar, mandolin, harmonica, alto sax and more), a brilliant songwriter and a great, unique vocalist. His catalog is so diverse encompassing electric and acoustic blues, jazz, folk, and a bit of funk. I've seen so many performers and no one comes remotely close to seeing Rory Gallagher live, in terms of music, it was life changing for me.
Rory was and is still a force of nature who gave his heart & soul. We love you brother ❤️
When Jimi Hendrix was asked by a Reporter "How does it feel being the greatest Guitar Player in the World ?", Jimi replied "Go ask Rory Gallagher"...
.
I love this. It gives me shivers every time I read it. What a tribute.
Don't know how come it has taken so long for people to realise this!
Saw Rory live in 1979, 3+ hours concert, he was unique, so genuine! The medication he took for years for his fear of flying ruined his liver, he literally performed until he dropped, was playing in Amsterdam when he collapsed on stage due to liver failure. He had the transplant but caught MRSA in the hospital ward and died in 1995 at 47.
Rory was the greatest of Them all
Sadly forgotten.
never forgotten
Gone but never forgotten.
Not by me!
Creative Panic is what you call it Rory was a friend for a long time and has the ability to play anything.....instruments and genres. Manic on the stage but calm and funny off stage.
"has" Amen, brother.
I had the privilege of hearing Rory in 1975 when he opened for Wishbone Ash. Both acts were excellent 👍
Now that would be great. One of the very few headliners that could stand up to Rory and follow him as an opener. Wishbone Ash is still going strong and right next to Rory as the greatest guitar band that isn't nearly as well known as they should be.
Ha, when I saw Wishbone Ash the third act was Kiss. You win 😎
That was the same year he opened for Deep Purple(before Blackmore left) for 6 .oaths. Roger Glover produced Rory's next album.
Rory and Gerry Mcavoy, the dynamic duo. I am positive that they fed off each other talent. Have been listening to Rory's music from the early 70's and never lose that feeling of amazement when looking at his live performances.
Gerry is still playing with Band of Friends, well worth seeing.
Harri, after you're done with Rory's solo career, you should look into his first official first band TASTE. I recommend any footage taken from the Isle Of Wight Festival 1970. Powerful trio of blues, progression, hard rock and even jazz! Enjoy!
I'm relatively new to Rory Gallagher Harri a music loving guitar player friend told me to listen and after this one song down the rabbit hole I went and couldn't believe I never heard of this top tier guitar player.
You can actually see he becomes one with the guitar and also sings while playing.
His passion and love of what he does shows on his face
Thank you for such a wonderful appreciation and reaction to Rory
Thanks for getting Rory on.
I have to say I feel the emotion and energy he puts into his songs,
I love ,I fall apart , wheels within wheels or edged in blue ,as well Shadow play, walk on hot coals ,crest of a wave.
So many great songs and performances , thanks again
How do you get a better live performance than this? Only by playing more Rory Gallagher. Not only was he an incredible guitarist, he had a fantastic band with him, providing performances full of energy, and quality music.
Harri, Rory played on Jerry Lee Lewis' "London Sessions" album in 1973. You heard correctly. Rory, due to ill health and some bad career decisions, should have been a much bigger star. After a star-making performance at the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970, he was approached by Led Zep's manager, Peter Grant, for a management contract but declined, as earlier misadventures with previous managers made him very wary of having anyone but his brother manage him. Nice debut on the channel. Thanks Miss B and Harri.
Thank you John for the added info.
I just got into Rory only a couple of years ago and he blew me away
Not only was his playing incredible he looks like he's loving what he does
He didn't actually want to be a famous star - he just enjoyed playing.
FYI it is reported that when Hendrix was asked what it was like to be the greatest guitarist in the world he replied "I don't know, you'll have to ask Rory"
@@missblondie2393
Yes, you're right, he loved his guitar and playing and singing!!
I love Rory, he played what he feels, not what the music industry asked🎸🎶
Rory’s decision to go with his brother Donal, rather than Peter Grant ensured Rory being in charge. He was stubborn about some things, like not releasing singles. Rory was known in the states because he toured here relentlessly for decades, but it wasn’t possible to become a household name in the states without radio exposure. Maybe you can call that a bad career move, but Rory was his own man.
In fact the 4 tunes he plays on are coincidentally the best tunes on the Killers London Sessions LP. Rorys nightmare was to have a big hit single. He fought tooth and nail against it his whole career.He did not want to be sucked into the "cloak and dagger limousine lifestyle" of rock stars.
jerry and rory had record together, you right he had an influence.
Rory was a savage on stage. Very underrated. He liked to fly under the radar, kind of shunned the limelight. I believe he was approached to join the Rolling Stones at one point but declined.
One of the best ever!
He was always so underrated, he was an awesome musician!
Probably one of the most underrated guitarist. Irish Rory knew how to rock with the best. He was one of Eric Clapton's idol and influences.
Early on he was in the band Taste then Rory went on to have a solo career that never received the fame he deserved.
Sadly he died young after a liver transplant. Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and Miss Blondie. Super tune. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Hi Mary and thank you for the added history.
I mentioned before I'm relatively new to Rory and couldn't believe a man this talented slipped under the radar
RIP to a Legend
Sending you love and music
🎶💜🎵🇨🇦🇺🇲💜
@@missblondie2393 Being an Oldie I've loved Rory for years. Fabulous tune.
🎶🎶👍✌️🇨🇦❤️🇺🇲🤗
Greetings from the west coast, eh.
@@markallan5484 Hi Mark. How are you? Just got back from 10 days near YYC.
@@marybaillie8907 We British Columbia lifers view Alberta as the Near East.
Rory IS one of the best guitarists ever. A true natural. I was lucky to see him live in his early years. Awesome. So sad that he died young.
One pile of raw talent. WOW. RIP Rory.
I smiled when you wondered if he could keep up the same intensity for the next 4 minutes! Rory was like this for 2+ hours of concert. This number was the opener at the Montreux jazz festival. Check out the other numbers,particularly Shadow Play and the encore with Hellcat.Greatest guitarist that I ever saw and his energy on stage was just insane.
Couldn’t agree more James. I remember queuing in the longest queue to see Blackmore when he launched his solo career and he was amazing but Rory will always be my number one. Saw him in the 7Os into the 80s and he or his band never disappointed. Went to see Gerry McAvoy’s band last month in London and Gerry did Rory proud. Miss the G Man as do many of his loyal fans. Great memories of a wonderful performer and person.
Thank you! Rory was absolutely amazing and 2-3 hour performances were the norm for him. He lived for playing in front of an audience and fed off of their energy. Please check out some of his other videos, such as "Do You Read Me?" from 1979's Rock Goes to College. For his early stuff, "Sinner Boy" or "What's Going On?" with his first band Taste at the 1970 Isle of Wight festival shows his mad skills at the age of 23. A good quality video of a later piece is "Don't Start Me Talkin'" Cologne 1990. At 42, he didn't have the same high energy to run all over the stage, but his stage presence is still amazing and his guitar skills mature. Please explore more of his wonderful catalog and introduce Rory to a new generation.
Rory was superb! Brilliant! 💖🌷✨👏👏👏
He's on my list of musicians I desperately wish I'd heard live.
A live Rory show was amazing.Rory started on the showband scene where bands would have 6 or more members they played for hours in ballrooms with up to 3000 people dancing .Showbands played anything from Irish traditional through country and rock and roll to the hits of the day. Showbands were driving all over Ireland.,a band could travel from cork to Portrush a round trip of 600 miles in a van or coach ! For a young Rory check out the Fontana showband and the song slow down in 1964. You know it's Rory in seconds with the vocal and his playing
Harri, please consider doing "A Million Miles Away" from the Irish Tour '74 album. Make sure it is the performance from the Cork city hall from the 40th Anniversary remaster. Some fine live playing on that one. One of my favorites of all time.
It was his blues, touring for months all around the world Is great, but heavy at the same time,... I love too this song
Totally underrated. Have a listen to Million Miles Away and Walk on Hot Coals from his Irish Tour 74 album.
I spent most of my childhood listening to Rory Gallagher, because it was mostly all my dad played around the house and on car journeys (along with some Cream, Groundhogs, Pink Floyd etc). I couldn't appreciate him as a child, but he's always on my playlist as an adult. I remember the day he passed away. My dad came home from work with tears in his eyes and said he'd just heard on the radio that Rory had died. It was one of the few times I've seen him cry. It was like we had lost a family member. That's how deep Rory meant to his fans 😢
Ah Rory he was the best 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Thanks, Harri! I saw Rory in Stuttgart, Germany 48 years ago. I remember that guitar. . . most of the paint worn off the face of it. What a rocker! RIP.
Oh wow you're extremely fortunate to have seen the incredible Rory live
I thank God for TH-cam for having great live footage
He was so dynamic
Of all the guitarists I have listen to - Rory will always be number 1. Brian May, Clapton, Gary Moore etc...all speak highly of him. Gone far too early. Such a humble person- wish that there were more like him in the world today.
Rory Gallagher is one of my favorites! Don’t know why a lot of people do not know him
Yay you have found Rory! Woooo! He was a master and he loved his music. So do we who listened to him all those years ago.
Best guitarist most people ever heard of :)
I was lucky enough to see Rory many times in the late 60s and early 70s, both with Taste and with his eponymous band after Taste broke up. He was an amazing live performer - the energy went on for the whole gig, often two hours or more!
He would play his beat up Strat, use a Telecaster for fantastic slide guitar, sometimes an old Gretsch as well. He could also play mandolin and beautiful acoustic guitar as well as saxophone.
Try “Bullfrog Blues” or “In your town” for slide playing or “Wave myself goodbye” for acoustic (with guest Vincent Crane from Atomic Rooster on piano).
Never saw a below par performance once in all those years - he loved playing for his fans and gave it his all. A quiet gentleman off stage and an influence on Brian May, who spoke very highly of him.
he even played electric sitar, a coral. You can hear it in the song "Philby" i.e.I recommend Montreux 1985
Tremendous energy love it.
In 1971 I went to the Peachtree festival in Rockingham NC. At the end of a long day the last act was Rory Gallagher. Had never heard of him.
A while later I picked up his Tattoo album at The original Tower records for $1. Great, great album.
More Rory, please.
I was lucky enough to meet Rory once, such a humble genuine guy. Rest in peace Rory, you were taken from us far too soon.
Sad i ne er got to see him, he died when i was young. Thanks for showing this, he was an Irish gem. Try his live performances of 'Shadow Play'. Also incredible
The best ever
"I Wonder Who....Rory Gallagher Live in Belfast" is a MUST!
I seen him with his band Taste in 1969 open for Blind Faith in St. Louis. Jim
We all rocked out to Rory back in the day. There was always one of his albums on the turntable at some stage of the night at any rockin' party. AAAH! the memories.
Rory Gallagher is the master of the Stratocaster.
I don't remember the 1st time I heard Rory, my older brother was always playing him so naturally i beca,e a fan, it must be a treat to hear him for the 1st time.
A few as great none better. RIP Rory
Rory is my fave....
You sir have great taste indeed
"This guy plays his guitar like it stole his girlfriend and he's out to get revenge." Absolutely beautifully said. I also like your voice, attitude, reaction and humility. I just subscribed. Thanks Harri. Nailed it my friend! I would also like to mention how much I appreciate your openness at not knowing about his passing. That is what makes you so unique. Too many "experts" out there and to see and hear an intelligent human being expressing how moved he is, is well, beautiful.
"Too many diamonds in my ears." I hope you keep hearing those diamonds my friend.
Most people here in "the states" have never heard of Rory Gallagher. A German friend introduced me to his music in 74 and I have loved him ever since.
Great reaction to a great musician!
Yep theres the man right there . Totally original and had it all. He wiped them all out for sure dynamite and class
Rory guitar wizard
Brut force and ignorance is a cool tune too. His home town has a statue of him. Their hometown hero. Yeah. Peace
Tatoo lady. A million miles away . songs. Incredible songs.
Would 100% recommend looking at "Shadow Play" from the same concert! Rory is such a good guitarist he lets the ground play the guitar in that one.
There are many people out there like you Hari who have discovered the genius that is the G Man long after his demise
The greatest ever don’t forget to check out all his albums you won’t be disappointed
God bless you for your appreciation and carrying on the rockin' blues tradition!
I saw him do 4 hours. He damn near killed me. Rory was special.
4 hours of Rory I could only imagine how you felt
Rory is incredible
Rory still special
I saw him play a show that went well over 3 hours and he never left the stage or took a break. He played an acoustic set while everyone else in the band left and took a leak or whatever.
. . . .and I like you gave a credit tothe bass player and the drummer - WHAT aline up!!!
There is a street named after him in Dublin. Sometimes, the best artists never get the worldwide recognition they deserve. Guitarists know all about him.
There's one in France too.
So happy that more people are listening to Rory, I’ve only heard one other person blasting his music, and you guessed it. It was an old gear head working on an impala in a garage!
Such an underrated guitarist, u regret not getting a chance to see him live, rip Rory
Rory ♥
His guitar was part of him.
Jerry Mcovoy was a beast on bass, as was Rod Diath on drums, not to forget Lou Martin on keys, only wish i got to experience all of them live.
And jimi hendrix watched him at 1970 Isle of Wight festival and thought he was amazing!!
In one word : Awesome!! 🎶🎶🎸🎸🎸🎸❤️
There are no other members in that band, only Rory Gallagher, Gerry McAvoy (Bass) and Ted McKenna (Drums). Rory played the longest time as a 3-piece, earlier he had a Keyboarder too, i.e. Lou Martin during 1974 Irish Tour. Rory for me was not only one of the greatest guitar players of all time, he was THE performer. He was no rockstar-like snob, when you watch his concerts, you will see him climb off the stage, interact with the audience and he loved it. As the old german music lover i am....Rory and his worn-out Stratocaster....the best Ireland gave to the world! 🤘
Rory is the GOAT. Simply that and nomore to becsaid
This is the first song he played in the gig,imagine that for an opener and he loved JLL.
I seen Rory in 69, 70 and 71. He came to Belfast every Christmas when no other band would play there because of the conflict. Rory made up for no other band playing there as he was just amazing and all that was required to satisfy a blues lovers taste. I still listen to his music and never tire of it. There was nobody like Rory. At times he brings tears of joy to my eyes. What a musician.
🎶✌️🎵💜🎸
I saw him in Milwaukee in 1974 when I was 17. What I always remember besides his great music was the fact that he always wore plaid flannel shirts. It was blue. His hair was long. He was Hot. 🔥
Loved your reaction, greatest Irish guitarist ever imo
When rory played, you got your moneys worth.
Rory and his band= excellence. Saw him back in the mid 70s. Great review Harri.
The best Irish guitarist EVER !!! I was lucky enough to have seen Rory twice here in the U.S. and his stage energy, as well as his guitar skills, are unmatched. I would recommend checking out the live video of Shadow Play and the Live performance of Bullfrog Blues on The Old Grey Whistle Test. 🔥🎸🎶✌️
I see that you're reacting to Rory Gallagher today!I haven't watched the reaction yet, but I want to thank you for doing the video. No one knows about Rory anymore. Of practicing musicians today, the only ones who I've heard mention Rory are Steve Earle, Slash, and Brian May.
I am very happy you brought old Rory to the channel.What a pity he passed away so young.Think about the music he could have made and still be making! Raw energy on electric guitar and also superb on acoustic.Always showing his devotion for the old blues and mixing blues scales with Irish music licks.Genius!!!
I'm so glad that you finally did a reaction on my favourite guitarist of all time. I have seen him live a couple of times and it was like nothing else just pure love for his music.
I was deeply saddened when I heard of his death but he was sick for quite some time and it was so sad when I saw him last in 1991 he wasn't just the same although he did some good shows after that before his death. You will find many great performances here on YT one I want to mention is "Do you read me" from Rock goes to college
I was lucky enough to see Rory in concert a few times, unbelievably nice man, one of the best.
I love Rory such a great guitarist. Thanks for sharing Miss Blondie and Harri.💞
So glad you liked Rory Diane
He was so unbelievable
🎵💜🎶
Rory was without a doubt one of the best! And he left us way to soon, but left us with much to listen to. On a side note the bass player here, Gerry Mcavoy, is still with us and still plays Rory's music live. He travels with a group he calls Band of Friends.
Bullfrog Blues, Do You Read Me, and Shadow Play are great songs from him.
Loved your comments Harri , I first saw Rory and the band in 1974 at the tender age of 14 !! Blown away 😊
Thanks for checking this guy out. I had the good fortune to see him in the early 70's and was just blown away.
There's a story - possibly Urban Legend - that an interviewer once asked Jimi Hendrix what it felt like to be the greatest guitar player in the world and he answered, "I wouldn't know. You'd have to ask Rory Gallagher."
Hey Miss Blondie, you've got great TASTE 😁😁
I saw RORY at the Pink Pop festival in Holland in the 70's.
Status Quo played earlyer that afternoon, when it was Rory's turn to play, the guys from Quo where standing on the side of the stage to watch him. I Think every musision was a fan of RORY. Man, could he play. You wanted to pick up the guitar, Harri?
Well..this takes a lot of practice 😁👊👍😉
I saw Roy Gallagher in a small theater around 1978. He had 5 encores!
You mentioned Jerry Lee Lewis. To see both him and Rory playing together would have been a wild, crazy, awesome show and experience!
I'm in my sixties and Rory was the soundtrack of my life. Saw him live several times and met him once. It's wonderful to see somebody discovering Rory for the first time.
Legendär 👍👍👍
Born in Donegal, raised in Cork! Irish legend!
I saw Rory Gallagher times live !!!! He was the most exciting guitar player imaginable !!! No.1 in the World with Jimi Hendrix ... !!! Soo much talent. I love him ..Thanks for the joy you brought to my life !!!! 😊
Fortunate to see Rory when he played in Perth Australia in 1975 and 1980. Just the best guitarist. I especially loved his blues. In 1975 his guitars were delayed in Singapore so he played with a number of borrowed guitars but was still brilliant.
Saw both of these to and I think the first one at Her Majesty's theatre was definitely the best.He had Lou Martin hammering away on keyboards and was very intense from start to finish.A superb show and one of my favorites from the 70's.Those borrowed guitars he sure was able to get great sound out of them.He's a genius !
Fantastic choice Miss B. I don't remember you requesting this one but I love it!❤
I'm so glad you liked it beautiful Cynthia. You're correct I had to change a pick as Harri reacted to it already
Rory was something else to watch live
Love and Music to you
🎵💜🎶🇨🇦🇺🇲💜
I saw rory play at Montreux in 1977. I wonder if this is that show.
you should listen to "hands off" from the beat club sessions.... And thanks for giving him a platform! Rory always will live on!
This is a brilliant performance...no one like Rory!!
