Rory was around well before AC⚡DC... and always gave 110% when playing on stage. Some of rock’s most seminal figures, from Jimi Hendrix to Slash, from Brian May (Queen) to Johnny Marr (The Smiths), have cited him as an influence, as have many many more. Rory remains a touchstone for all would-be guitar heroes in the 21st Century. Truly a musicians musician ✊ Should check out Rory's first band "Taste" -- Taste ~ Sugar Mama (Live at the Isle Of Wight Festival, 1970) .
1979 was the year Bon Scott died. But both these guys got that from Chuck Berry. Chuck was making moves like thst inbthe 1950s. One of the biggest influences on Rick music in general and rock guitar in particular. Chuck at 60, still doing it. th-cam.com/video/5madtiLf7DI/w-d-xo.html
I'm no expert but I seem to remember seeing Chuck Berry making moves like that and who knows where he got it from. Ive also seen Alvin Lee and Steven Wright with moves like that.
A Rory Gallagher concert was like one of your mates getting up on stage and being awesome, then stopping off in the bar at halftime, sharing a few beers and heading back to finish the show.
Good description saw him 3 times. Brilliant. Loved his energy. Loved bullfrog blues. Too much alcohol. But loved all his stuff really he could play anything on his Strat 😎🎸 .
There is no question that Rory Gallagher is one of the greatest of all time (so far); but let's also give some love to Gerry McEvoy on bass. He played with Rory for many years and it shows. They play off each other so well; plus he really bangs it out on that bass guitar!!
This Montreux show in 1979 was epic. After giving 1000% with this song, he still came out and played two encores. You might also want to check out how he opened this particular show with Shin Kicker, it'll speak for itself. BTW, Rory started quite a few years before ACDC, but that duck walk is Chuck Berry's classic move. Rory's acoustic stuff is just as amazing as his electric - Out on The Western Plain, Barley and Grape Rag, Too Much Alcohol, but my favorite acoustic performance of his is Just The Smile from the Beat Club Sessions, which sadly has been removed from YT. There's also a version of If The River Was Whiskey, performed on a Dutch show which is beautifully interacted with the audience and definitely worth seeing. Anyway, THANKS Jamel for taking the Rory ride, there's nothing else like it. Please, keep on...
You,re right Nora. Unbelievable how many young fans Rory has due to the quality of his live performances on You Tube.Good luck from a wet and drizzly Ballyshannon.
Rory was doing it before Angus !! Rory' first band was " Taste" !! And I saw him as an opener in 1973 for Fleetwood Mac, and Deep Purple headlining.. Rory stole the night immediately.. I was 16, and still blown away by him, his music, and his performance ! An Irish legend forever !! Thanks for showing Jamel. Cheers !! Jt's Record Room
To understand Rory Gallaher you have to listen to what the people who knew him say/ said. He was known for his musical integrity, down-to-earth approach, it was only ever about the music, on stage an explosive performer,but he had no interest in exploiting his wealth, fame. He refused to release singles, only wore denim, lived modestly. He was famous for his gentle, polite personality, and he made time for his fans- always. He was a purist and wouldn't sell himself out. Those are some of the reasons he is underrated but though he died young he did sell 30million albums, basically himself. You can read about his life in Rory Gallaher-Goodfella by Carol Clark, published 2005, June 1st, Classic Rock.
He was absolutely on fire that night. right from the first song - Shinkicker- to this incredible finale. Then he came back for two encores! In between the high energy rockers, he also played some soulful slow blues - Off The Handle is intense, and some acoustic - his brilliant interpretation of Leadbelly's Out On The Western Plain. I love the energy, fun and entertainment of this performance, but my favourite version is the one from the Belfast '84 show - the lyrics are clear, the audience participation is great, and Rory starts strong, slows it down in the middle, then delivers a blistering finale - busted strings, stage invasion and all! Magic! Thanks for another Rory Classic, keep 'em coming 👍
Saw Rory Gallagher at a small club called the Bottom Line here in NYC decades ago and my table was right in front of the stage and he was standing and playing right in front of me to the point that I could literally touch him because he was about a foot and half away from me with a low stage and the man blew me away, such a great blues guitarist and a heck of a nice guy...died way too young! RIP Rory❤🎸🙏
My ma used to say, that loud music will make you deaf ! Im 60 and apart from a litte tinnitus, my hearings fine ! The shit that bands play nowadays makes me wish i was deaf !! As long as i get my hearing back when the great rory gallaghers bustin his raggedy ol guitar and life is good again ! Hail hail rock n roll, rip brother rory 🍀🍀🇮🇪
Has to be the Irish Tour '74 one, and for once, I'd recommend the live audio from the album. The video is from a documentary film and while it's interesting to watch, there's more footage of Rory walking around Cork than onstage AND they missed out a verse. The album version is better - just close your eyes and let him take you on a journey.
Rory Gallagher, aka The G.Man, aka the Corkonian Cowboy, aka The Irish Wizard...outstanding musician, humble and friendly human beeing. RIP, Mr.Gallagher, you are truly missed by your fans all over the world..Rory and the boys were around way before ACDC, he played in a band called The Taste in the late 60s.
We had our favourites but we loved Rory Gallagher, if you want to see other side of him there is an acoustic video on you tube, his skill with guitar was amazing, Jimi Hendrix was asked what it was like to be the best guitarist and replied go ask Rory Galagher
Rory got his start back in the 60's, with a band called Taste. By the time AC/DC was formed, Rory was on his fourth or fifth solo album. My introduction to him was via the album "Tattoo", which is the fifth solo album, released in 73. There was a small local radio station where I grew up, my friends worked there, then I did 75-76. There was a promo copy of "Tattoo" at the station. I now have about 14 of his albums on CD. One of my great regrets is having never gotten the chance to see him live. FYI, the studio version of this song, "Shadow Play", is on the "Photo-Finish" album from 1978. I originally heard that particular album after finding it, of all places, available for checkout at the public library in Waukegan, IL. That album is also home to one of my favorite songs of his, "Brute Force and Ignorance".
One of my regrets in life is never getting to see this guy live. Unfortunately I only discovered him in the last few years. Thankfully, there are a lot of videos of live performances. When Brian May was interviewed about Rory, he said he was "elemental", there is just something about the way he performed and interacted with the audience that was captivating. By all accounts he was a very polite and humble guy who transcended to another level when he got on stage.
I saw rory back up the who at Atlanta's omni in 1974 ! Set on a stool with his mandoline and played going to my home town ! Its was one of the best performances I ever saw and in 70s I seen every body you've ever heard and just as many as you havent ! It was a wonderful time in music ! 👍👍👍
My name is Rory too and was lucky to see Rory live in Chicagoa at the Amphitheatre on the same bill as Crosby ,Stills, Nash and Young. That was about 1978. Amazing dude and amazing gig. Today I have a white sweat shirt with Rory playing guitar on the back. Peace. R.I.P. Rory Gallagher, The Strat Prince.
Saw Rory multiple times between '76 & '92...every damn show the guy just put everything into it...it was who he was & what he did... Add On - the club gigs were the best. He tore it up at the big gigs - usually opening - but the club headline shows were off the charts. The last time he came to the West Coast I went to three shows in four days - the last on St. Patrick's Day.
Rory is the man, always switching pickups to get different sounds etc. My fav Rory is Tattooed lady live in Cork - pure taste! Big shout out to you Jamal, love your reaction vids!!!
One of my very first concerts (Waterloo, Canada). When the band took a break, he just stayed on stage and played some acoustic blues, then revved up again when the band reappeared. Oh, the warmup act was Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush!
I'll bet that show would have been fun as hell! I saw this concert on TV when I was a teenager and when he was dragging his guitar by the cord and I was mesmerized.
Love Rory! Asked all over for 'Bullfrog Blues', so thanks for that, couple weeks back. Last saw him Toronto '76, Exhibition Stadium, followed by Henry Gross, Rick Derringer Band and Aerosmith. Always saw Rory headline before at our beloved Massey Hall.
He had to be tired as Hell. That was a workout! Love this Irish Rocker, and you can see he loves his fans. Rory would rather play a small intimate venue with a couple hundred fans, than a huge 50 thousand seat stadium any day of the week. He truely loved the people who came out to see him. It wasn't all about the money for Rory. That's another thing he and Jimi Hendrix shared.
I ws lucky enough to have seen Rory play live twice. 1986 and 1989 so getting towards the end of his career/life but he was still incredible both times. Pressed up to the front of the stage, close enough to reach out and touch him. A great talent and massively underrated - right up there with the all time guitar greats imo.
I could listen to Rory's music all day and night. Besides of skill he had soul, feeling, loved th blues to the bone... Please, if you can, react to "Tattoed lady" and "Walking on hor coals". Another nice persone who left us too soon. Rest in peace Rory.
Takes me back this was on the moonchild EP way back when. Try...I Fall Apart, for a change of pace, Rory definently the most underated musician of all time R.I.P keep playing the classics Jamel
Mommas in the kitchen pikin up a pie , daddy's in the back yard get a job son you know you gotta try it ? So I pack up a bag and headed down the road , got me a job from Henry Ford, but I made a mistake and headed much to far and now I know what the lonesome blues are ! One of his masterpieces !
Plz try to watch Shadow Play 1984 Shadow Play in Belfast. He does the same song but with such passion, adds a solo, he’s in his native Ireland and I think he plays with even more emotion. He gets grabbed by concert goers but he loves his fans. I saw him twice and he’s far superior as a performer and person. Tattooed Lady, Heavens Gate, so many greats by him! ♥️
AC/DC started in 1973. Rory started his solo career in 1970, having previously been with his first band "Taste" from 1966 until their break-up in 1970. Here is an excellent song from "Taste" - It's Happened Before, It'll Happen Again. th-cam.com/video/qtu9vW10-iY/w-d-xo.html
There’s a reason why Rory got invited to join the Stones. Greatest guitar player ever. Try out a million miles away or walking on hot coals or anything else from Irish tour album
One of the best ever Rory is. Glad more people are finding him. In my top 5 guitar players ever. Legend. I see people mentioning 'Bad Penny', definitely have to listen to that, Rockpalast version is something else. 'As The Crow Flies' on Irish Tour is another gem.
" Walk on Hot Coals" from the Irish Tour, pleeeeeaaassssssee! Or, to slow down the pace "Just a Smile" from his first album or "Maybe I Will" from the Deuce album.
Rory Gallagher (and Band) is an unheralded grandmaster... thank you so much for that I think you will ❤ love The Jimmy Castor Bunch proto-funk beauty Potential I hope you check it out sometime
Really enjoying the great rory gallagher vids brother ! Makes me feel young again ! You should check out the band he was in called TASTE i still have their album ON THE BOARDS from 1970 ! My 2 faves on that album are WHATS GOING ON and IF I CANT SING ILL CRY ! Have a look ma man, its an awesome album ! Peace n lovefrom dumfries scotland ✌️❤️
I saw RG three or four times in the late 1970/early 80s in the north east of England UK. He and his band/sound are and always will be from a different time ... when people cared about musicianship and Quality in front of an audience. He was a truly amazing guitarist, showman and seemed to love being there with his audience; I loved that ...
Love Rory, for a change of pace , Try I fall apart . Or as the Crow flies from Irish tour. Rory was so versatile , and there are so many songs to choose from.
in fact alot of the stage actings dancing and flamboyancy... began with gospel and blues music back in the 50s and 60s, chuck, little Richard, james brown... when Elvis came along it became more appropriated in the public eyes! music brings us all together man🙏
Thanks Jamel. You just made my day. One of my favourite tracks from Rory. We're very proud of him as a musician here in Ireland . I knew you would love his music. Thank you.😀
Arguably the greatest Blues Rock guitarist. And in a power trio, he's playing the Rhythm sections as well as the virtuoso stuff to keep a full sound. Gerry and Ted are quality too. It's a pity the video performance of 'Bullfrog Blues' in France seems to have been deleted or in Belfast when he shreds the guitar strings.
Check out Rory's song lonesome highway is a different side of him, also his band in the 60s Taste that was another of his great bands wit really great music

And shout out to the original, Chuck Berry!
I'm no expert but I seem to remember seeing Chuck Berry making moves like that and who knows where he got it from. Ive also seen Alvin Lee and Steven Wright with moves like that.

Rory on stage was not giving a show, he just lived his music on stage, his intensiy was phenomal!
Moonchild 1985 and Do You Read Me Rock Goes to College 1979!
One of the greatest guitar players of all time!
No frills or razzmatazz, just three blokes on a stage playing the hell out of their instruments! Rory was always worth the price of the ticket.
There is no question that Rory Gallagher is one of the greatest of all time (so far); but let's also give some love to Gerry McEvoy on bass. He played with Rory for many years and it shows. They play off each other so well; plus he really bangs it out on that bass guitar!!
Told you, man. If this isn't the greatest performance by anybody anytime, it's on the short list.
Jamel!!!!! You've made it to the Big Time! Rory was so humble and a fantastic, fantastic player.
He played a mean harmonica and sax too!
And he was just as good on acoustic guitar.
@@padfolio Absolutely. I saw him play Out On The Western Plain twice in Germany.
@@padfolio and mandolin
Rory was amazing...I couldn't take my eyes off him when he played the Cleveland Agora
That strut was invented by Mr. Chuck Berry... Rory was rockin in the sixties way before Angus.
Rory was way before angus young bud ! Check out the docu about his life, it will bring a tear to your eye seriously ! ✌️❤️
Bro on bass is brutal
That guitar tone!! Love Rory Gallagher! And you couldn’t go into the audience like that today lol
George Thorogood used to do that too.
The National, Flaming Lips, Arcade Fire, Florence and the Machine still do it
Rory Gallagher... the guitar hero's guitar hero.

One of the best ever Rory is. Glad more people are finding him. In my top 5 guitar players ever. Legend. I see people mentioning 'Bad Penny', definitely have to listen to that, Rockpalast version is something else. 'As The Crow Flies' on Irish Tour is another gem.
Walk On Hot Coals live on The Old Grey Whistle Test is amazing
Still recommend his "Tattood lady" performance at Montreux :)
" Walk on Hot Coals" from the Irish Tour, pleeeeeaaassssssee! Or, to slow down the pace "Just a Smile" from his first album or "Maybe I Will" from the Deuce album.
Rory Gallagher (and Band) is an unheralded grandmaster... thank you so much for that
I think you will ❤ love The Jimmy Castor Bunch proto-funk beauty Potential
I hope you check it out sometime
Really enjoying the great rory gallagher vids brother ! Makes me feel young again ! You should check out the band he was in called TASTE i still have their album ON THE BOARDS from 1970 ! My 2 faves on that album are WHATS GOING ON and IF I CANT SING ILL CRY ! Have a look ma man, its an awesome album ! Peace n lovefrom dumfries scotland ✌️❤️
I saw RG three or four times in the late 1970/early 80s in the north east of England UK. He and his band/sound are and always will be from a different time ... when people cared about musicianship and Quality in front of an audience. He was a truly amazing guitarist, showman and seemed to love being there with his audience; I loved that ...
Love Rory, for a change of pace , Try I fall apart .
Or as the Crow flies from Irish tour.
Rory was so versatile , and there are so many songs to choose from.
I Got 7 Rory Gallagher Live Concert On DVD’s Set Also Cds Collection Too My Favorite Blues Player Ever
Jamel I had the pleasure of seeing Rory live in Liverpool. Check out Continental Op - Manificent! Peace brother x
13:58 brother chuck berry started that! the duck walk and gyrating hips!
rory was a legend to, finally he's being appreciated!
in fact alot of the stage actings dancing and flamboyancy... began with gospel and blues music back in the 50s and 60s, chuck, little Richard, james brown... when Elvis came along it became more appropriated in the public eyes!
music brings us all together man🙏
Thanks Jamel. You just made my day. One of my favourite tracks from Rory. We're very proud of him as a musician here in Ireland . I knew you would love his music. Thank you.😀
YES! Thanks for another Rory Video...!
Rory Gallagher was the ultimate entertainer and that guitar served him from the start and to the very end. R.I.P. Rory.
Last time I saw him the pickups on that guitar looked like they were rusted solid. Still worked fine though.
Arguably the greatest Blues Rock guitarist. And in a power trio, he's playing the Rhythm sections as well as the virtuoso stuff to keep a full sound. Gerry and Ted are quality too. It's a pity the video performance of 'Bullfrog Blues' in France seems to have been deleted or in Belfast when he shreds the guitar strings.
Here you go...

One of the greats taken from us way too soon
Check out Rory's song lonesome highway is a different side of him, also his band in the 60s Taste that was another of his great bands wit really great music
Rory is a real unsung hero and one of my faves. Mega props for doing a reaction. You should hear him play blues!
👏🏻 The legendary Rory Gallagher 🎸⚡️❤️🌹
He was a true Bluesman. Picked cotton, dug coal, sat on the porch. His Delta and slide classics of Blind Bill etc were top top top top.
Oh yeah!! Love me some Rory!! Gerry was right with him pushing it. Lil Chuck Berry behavior.
Wow! ❤️
