Most incredible live performer I’ve ever seen. In West Germany, 1972, at a small movie theater in Ludwigsburg with a stage. My mates and I went out to hear some music, no idea what we were in for. I was a southern kid, a fan of the Allman Bros, Marshall Tucker, Wet Willie. I’d never heard of RG. Three guys came out, no warm up, and Rory took the roof off the place. That night has remained a vivid memory for more than fifty years. I’m blessed to have seen him. He left us way too early.
Was recently in Ballyshannon to pay my respects to Rory and see his statue in the center of the town, the best ever blues guitarist, be proud Ireland ❤❤
Top 3 in my magazine Sticking Water I think SRV is No.1 for me , but man I'd loved to have seen em both on stage at the same time. Not a pissing competition, just an appreciation of skill and talent. Both amazing, along with a few others. I think my top 3 is SRV, RG & BBK
Rory Gallagher and the boys in his band are completely to blame for my six brothers and I have to live with a bad reputation all of those years. We followed Rory and his boys from the very early days from town to town and got to see them play many many times (not enough times) all over the lands. We stayed out late, come home early mornings, went to work and talked about nothing but a rocking gig that we saw the night before. Our dear neighbours were very concerned about the reputation that we were getting, they said we were rockers and blues boys and we were up to no good, we were long hair and that we would all wind up in jail. So far none of us have never been inside of a jail, but we still have all of Rory's albums and we played all of the time.
james bradshaw ... what a beautiful way to live🤘. Wish I would have been to One concert. I know nothing much about blues... but I’ll love Rory forever. Also, this was a brilliant write up ! Made me feel like I was there !!! So, Thanks
@@alancanham2956 thank you Alan, We were the very lucky people to have got to see Rory and his band play many times, I can recall each and every gig and concert, they were all brilliant and different, Take care
I am certainly jealous of all the times you saw Rory playing live, I only had the privilege to see him play once in 1973 in Rotterdam. It was in the time of the oil crises and the Dutch gov't had commanded that people were not allowed to drive a car on Sundays, due to gasoline shortage. So we all had to go back by train, for this was a late night gig. When Rory and the band heard about this, they played until the first trains would leave the stations, with only twice a half hour of rest. It was the best concert I have ever been to. After the gig had ended me and my friends walked to the trainstation. When we arrived there was a crowd of almost 150 people who had to go our way too. We lived about 150 km from the place where Rory played. We all got in 2 train compartments, all Rory fans, singing his songs out loud, sharing sandwiches, fun cigarets (in those days smoking in the train was allowed) and drinks. Funny I remember all that happened that evening so well. One of the best experiences of my life. The trip home had never seemed so short.
@@DirkjeA thank you for your kind message, Yes my 6 brothers and I got to see Roy and his band play lots of times, we would never miss a Rory concert, no 2 gigs were the same, Rory appeared changed his playing each night, different yet the say if you know what I mean, again thanks and take good care of yourself
I was extremely privileged to interview Rory Gallagher for CBC Radio One back in 1973 here in Calgary. One of the nicest, most soft spoken, and truly humble gentlemen in the business. He was just so easy going, pleasant and down to earth with his trade mark plaid shirts, jeans and all. Refreshingly real. I recall being a bit shocked by how old, weather beaten, rusty, and paint stripped his fender Stratocaster guitar really was. That kind of blew me way. "You're not going on stage with that beat up old thing are you?" Lol. "Yup. Every night. That's my baby...you'll see". You see - for Mr. Gallagher it was just "the" tool to get the job done right with. His chosen tool for the rough trade that he was in. No need for it to be all polished and shiny like. Tone and feel is what mattered. And with Blues being a very emotionally raw, no bullshit, and honest medium, it all fit together perfectly. This working man's music came alive in those hands of his like no one we'd ever heard before. (Or since for that matter.) When he picked that thing up and plugged it in- magic started exploding everywhere. Shivers on top of goose bumps all day long. Lol. Absolutely brilliant. Needless to say, we got along superbly throughout the process. Rory was a natural conversationalist which made my job as a rock journalist so much easier. He was the furthest thing from the typical egotistical prima donna that I was so accustomed to dealing with. Refreshing is the word. Is it any wonder then, that his popularity has enjoyed such remarkable longevity? Still a mighty force to be reckoned with well into the 21st century. This Irish blues legend lives on in our hearts and minds. No doubt about that as evidenced here once again today. All you have to do is read the posts below. That should tell you something. He's still missed by millions of adoring fans worldwide. There once was a Rory Gallagher and there once was a Jimi Hendrix. Two sides of the same coin. Both immutable and immortal. So let's raise a pint shall we? RIP Rory Gallagher!!!. And thanks so very much for the great music, memories, pictures, and especially those old CBC audio tapes that I shall cherish forever. Till death comes to reunite us once again brother!. Cheers and God Bless!
I took him to the dentists after he broke a tooth on stage in Derby in 1973...funny the things you remember...was a very nice guy and a great bluesman.
I’ve been listening to Rory all day long at work and thought the same thing! He has such a unique style but yet so simple and honest! And he always kept it true! I hate being only 23 years old, not being able to see him live at his best times…
I'm nearly 40, only heard of R.G this last month. I don't know much about music, but he sounded ahead of his time, which might explain why I'd not heard of them until now.
Some guy named Jimi basically said Rory is the best, when folks say under rated that just tells me they have no clue. They weren't around back then. He was on at all the bars I went to.
You mean don't say he's overrated. The greatest guitarist ever & a truly modest gentleman: no rock star excess or posturing. Saw Rory in the National Stadium Dublin New Year 72.
Why can't appreciation be appreciated? Some artist will be talked about for way longer than they deserve for half ass lyrics and sloppy unoriginal compositions. While some artists like Rory will leave too soon and offer so much. I don't think it's a crime at all to call and guitarist under appreciated. So who cares. I'm confident my point stands though. He faded away. He definitely isn't as appreciated as he deserves to still be. Just like muddy waters, howling wolf, and bb king.
Different sides of the magnetic pole... I swear I have tried so hard to love Stevie, but I fail all the time! Not because of lack of will, but it doesn't tickle my balls... I'M REALLY SORRY! But this.... I have no words for this!!!
So very different, a result would mediocre, they were themselves 100%! Ps. I have tried so hard to like SRV, but sadly my soul is completely blank to his music,,,
I learned about RG from my father, when I was 9 years old, in the 70s. Today at 57 years old, my father is no longer here, but the memories remain forever. Listening to RG is to remember again the good music of my father and my childhood.
In 1970, my sister and brother in law had this album as a demo, while they were graduating from San Diego State. I wore out that vinyl from over use. I still don’t know why it never became a huge hit.
This song shows how Rory connected with the emotion of the Blues; his wistful playing is very rare today. A master of his craft, gone but never forgotten.
@@timelessarrow He is truly one of a kind, a genuine, talented, gifted humble man. I wish I could've seen him live, & meet him too!! Rory & Peter Green, my favorites. Miss them both💚💔💚🎶🌟🎶💯😢
Good band full stop not just the front man , unsung heroes for any of the upfront and solo musicians on account there's no i in team. You like my guitar playing though i take it , what do you think of Bad Penny ??
Its been a week since I heard Rory for the first time. I have been snowed in since then. I listen/play along with this song at least a couple times a day. I will never be half the guitarist Rory was but one can dream. Lol
@@Brian-rq8hi ..have a listen to "Million Miles Away" "Walking On Hot Coals" and "As The Crows Fly" one of my favorite albums of his was "RORY GALLAGHER IRISH TOUR 74" it's an awesome live album..he's in his element.and those songs i mentioned are on there..cheers matey!
Jimi and Rory always used te wisest of words when they spoke which they learned for their total dedication and very hard work, They sold their lives to their music so we could enjoy their music forevermore. God blessed Rory & Jimi, I was told by a person in the know that Jimi & Rory were and are Gods most favorite rocking guitar players along with Phil Lynott who is his most favorite songwriter/story singer, it must have something to do with those 3 boys Celtic blood
I saw him in 1973 when I was a teenager OMG! I’ve never seen anything like that before or after. He was a true bluesman. His music came directly from his heart. This song is my personal favorite. Long live Rory Gallagher’s music!
I'm in my 60s, never listened much to Rory in those days. Too young to understand the blues. But give it time and you mature, I'm here now. Time to revisit the past, never too old to learn.
Absolutely!!!! The Blues is what begot music. Even within my family to the British coming here in the 1600's. They too created from their times into the blues. My ancestor became a well known church hymnal creator.
@@lisaweaver986 Perhaps some of my ancestors knew some of yours. On my mother's side, there was an accomplished Scottish violinist, John Skinner, 1890s/1900s. Further back, another John Skinner was close friends with Robert Burns. A stone marker still stands in the family house yard where the Tullochgorum Tree once stood. Anyhow, Rory's music is truly captivating and somewhat of a portal where new friends step through.
I'm 19 and I'm listening to blues, blues rock like Gary Moore,Peter Green for 7 years. I'm a metalhead but blues is the escape from the harsh tracks at night
Trust me his music will live on. I am in my 50's who has a twin 15 yr old twin son who loves and plays his music on his guitars (I did not know of Rory until my son). Recently, my son was honored to play with two of the original band members that played with Rory here in Portland, Oregon in Dec 2018. Rory's music will forever live on and on..
when I listen to RG all of the pain I feel in this life simply disappear's for a while and I just get lost in the music and travel to a whole other world man
Been listening to Rory since 1973..I never get tired of that great guitar playing...A true master and a gentleman, that never took the commercial route but stayed true to his art ..respect
When we talk about Irish bands, most people mention U2; I just think of Thin Lizzy and Rory. He is still a guitar god, who has influenced many musicians. Rest in Power, Rory!!!
Rory was a humble Irish man he was gifted the traditional Irish music and was well loved for his delicate and intimate knowledge of its intricacy many Irish trad musicians play blues many Seán nós singers sing soul. Music unites ... When someone asked Jimmy Hendricks "what it was like being the best guitarist in the world?" his reply was "why don't you ask Rory Gallagher " judging from that answer they were obviously respected friends and credit to Hendrix it was the best Irish style compliment to say that! Hope the two are jamming on up there
I met a kid in the bar a few years ago and when he told me he was from Cork, Ireland, I commented on what a huge Rory Gallagher fan I was. He went absolutely bananas, telling me how Rory is still a national hero in Ireland and Cork in particular. Bought me Irish whiskeys all night too!
As many people have said, Rory was a true gent. Soft spoken, humble but supremely talented. I saw him twice in the 70's, and got to meet him backstage. An experience I have never forgotten. Rest in peace Rory. The music world is a lesser place without you.
For me, Rory was really amazing. The most extraordinary blues guitarrist I had ever hear. Full ofÑ blues and soul singer and outasigth guitar player, I have his original Taste second vinyl record called On The Boards, what a beautiful album. Also 10 of his best cd recordings, remastered. I love Jimi Hendrix two first albums, but about Rory I love all his albums. About psychedelic music I love too much these bands, Love, Spirit, The Outlaw Blues Band. In progressive rock I love these phenomenal three bands, King Crimson, Gentle Giant, Jade Warrior.
Rory is jamming with Jimi right now and the album will be released shortly and by God we need it badly. Thank you Rory for all your music and associated good times.
The attention Rory received from his loyal followers, throughout his career, was probably all the recognition he needed. Not a man for stardom or filling arenas where the music doesn't come into its own.
I remember driving my 55 - 2 door Chevy Wagon there was nothing louder and sounded so strong than Rory's blues rock back in 1975 now at the age of 63 I've had young men ask who I'm listening to I just tell them Rory Gallagher and the look on their faces how's that.
Ох,Шикарен!!! ПУсть не говорят про великих гитаристов ,и которых только и знают: Хендрикс,Блэкмор , что нет никого более!!! Вот он!!! Рорри Галлахер!!!
this kind of Blues will live for the next 100 years - because it is dynamic played and sung with heart. btw i am a metal fan (Sabaton, Santiano, Metallica). But want to thank you - Rory Gallagher - for your great music
Rory had the face of an Irish Angel and could play like the devil's hell hound was on his trail. He didn't play for money, he didn't play for fame, he played because the music lived inside him fighting for a way out. He was a conduit for the mainline of the blues.
Absolutely right ! His playing captures the emotions of this wonderful music. I've been a fan since the 1980's but we'll be listening to Rory in centuries to come.
I found Rory to be such a master he could have a big band and yet he chooses a 3 piece and still shines no matter who’s playing with him. A star for sure ❤
He was one of the best of all time. He will always be!! - Love you Rory -Rory Gallagher, Alvin Lee and Gary Moore... Three of the best Guitar Legends of all time : )
I met and chatted with Rory Gallagher when he was in Cleveland many moons ago (maybe 1975?) He was sitting alone at a table at The Harbor Inn bar in the flats. He must have been in town for a show. Beyond talented guitarist.
Always get a nice feeling just thinking that I've gone thru this life having experienced one of the most Genuine musicians that that moment in time produced, it keeps my spirits up on gloomy days, Thanks Rory and the lads. Thank you life.
@Dfw Fqdefqw Because "automatically", you think you knew Rory more than Henk Vinke did? Please tell us your story and how you knew Rory in such an intimate manor. We'd all love to hear your story. Waiting.......
No he played for a living, to make money. The difference being he was not all about the money, which also means he wouldn't sell himself out just to make money. That's why he didn't put out singles, he was adamantly against it. He remained true to his nature which was important to him. That's the distinction, he certainly did play for the money, but he wanted it HIS way. He spoke of this during some of his interviews.
One of Best blues performances. Its hard to believe that this is live. One of few bands that were better live than in studio. This is my fauvorite blues song along with a Bluest blues by Alvin Lee. He build a emotions, tension in mastery level. Page said, makin music is like makin love, one you must me soft and tender and another time hard and raw. Rory was definetely a blues master.
Mi associo al tuo pensiero , ho visto R.G.nel lontano 72 in un piccolo paese del nord Italia in un minuscolo anfiteatro all'aperto , ancora oggi mi vengono i brividi al pensiero di quella fantastica serata !
Speaking of Jimmy Page, do you think Gallagher had been listening to Led Zep's Since I've Been Loving You when he wrote this? Just a little bit... Btw, 'hard to believe it's live'? How does that make sense? If he couldn't play it live, how would he have played it in the studio? The only difference, in those days anyway, was in the studio you got a second chance. But most people usually went with the first or second take.
I'm a Zep strong fan, and SIBLY is probably my favorite tune of them, and one of my favorite song ever. I heard Rory's song yesterday for the first time, and I've been literally blown away. Another blues masterpiece I may suggest you to listen is "The mists of time" by John Mayall, as well as his early albums
I must agree. Im a classic blues and rock head. Maybe some jams by srv ior Hendrix has this level. Love them all. Bluest blues by Alvin Lee if mention a underated

RIP Rory Gallagher (March 2, 1948 - June 14, 1995), aged 47
You will always be remembered as a legend.
Rory, Gary Moore and Phil Lynott. The holy Trinity of Irish musicians. All gone now but their music brought great joy to the world.
Doesn't get any better than that!

I do it 2...
Rory Gallagher, one of the all time greatest guitarists!
Definately Kevin!!
Even Jimi Hendrix said Rory is the greatest, fact.... although I strongly disagree
Le plus grand d'après Jimmy Hendrix lui-même !
He'll ya he is. He,s up there with Gary Moore, Stevie Ray Vaughan , Roy Buchanan, Randy Rhodes
Yes. Sir
Heard him the first time in 1971 with his Number "Laundromat". To me he is the best, the greatest of all times.
My first love
one of the most gifted people this world has ever seen
The most underrated guitarist of all time, period!
You hit it right on the head and I have never heard this man before but I'm loving this more than anyting
I’ve been listening to Rory all day long at work and thought the same thing! He has such a unique style but yet so simple and honest! And he always kept it true! I hate being only 23 years old, not being able to see him live at his best times…
The greatest. No big star celeb posturing; a modest gentleman. Saw him only once, Dublin Xmas NewYear ' 72
Yea great blues. Followed Rory early 70s lost touch. Still fantastic
Rory is 1 of the best with. Gary Moore , Stevie ray Vaughan ,Roy Buchanan ,Randy Rhodes Jimi, Hendrix, Robin trower
This could go for another 30 minutes and I'd still be into it - fantastic.
Wish it would !
Absolutely bro
A lot of live stuff in those days would
Right on brothers. This is nice and jam bandish! Amazing and chill musicians, the singer has an awesome voice which totally seals the deal!
please dont say hes under rated .hes one of the most lauded and influential guitarists of all time .

The fact Rory & Stevie never played together is a crying shame! My top 2 all day
Mine two, both such 'feel' players, it would have been mesmerising.
Different sides of the magnetic pole...

Not because of lack of will, but it doesn't tickle my balls... I'M REALLY SORRY!
But this.... I have no words for this!!!

You are not alone in this 😢❤
I been there .❤
Best part of our times 😮 such a beautiful soul ❤
Rory was a wonderful human being. He never failed to come to Belfast during "The Troubles". His playing was always 100% from the heart.
Watching him play in the Ulster Hall in the Irish Tour 74' documentary was incredible. The man had lightening in his fingers.
@@MK_2023. agreed! Most underrated. Saw the farewell Taste concert in the Ulster Hall, 1971 I think
My favorite blues player. Other than BB King this guy's tone was unreachable. What a talent. Just listen to that tone, man. Goddann
I learned about RG from my father, when I was 9 years old, in the 70s. Today at 57 years old, my father is no longer here, but the memories remain forever. Listening to RG is to remember again the good music of my father and my childhood.

Geez, this dude could play guitar. Never got to see him, but if there's a heaven we'll meet one day. RIP Rory
I'm blown away, this is just absolutely sublime
Enjoy!🍷
Incredible
Rory rules, nothing like this today. He blows away Hendrix, Rory is so soothing... wish he lived longer.
This song shows how Rory connected with the emotion of the Blues; his wistful playing is very rare today.
A master of his craft, gone but never forgotten.
@@timelessarrow He is truly one of a kind, a genuine, talented, gifted humble man. I wish I could've seen him live, & meet him too!! Rory & Peter Green, my favorites. Miss them both💚💔💚🎶🌟🎶💯😢
Rory is a legend. I saw him several times at the stadium in Dublin back in the seventies. Best concerts I had the privilege to be ever at.
Why thank you glad you enjoyed them.
Good band full stop not just the front man , unsung heroes for any of the upfront and solo musicians on account there's no i in team. You like my guitar playing though i take it , what do you think of Bad Penny ??
Rory Gallagher was simply amazing.🖤🤘
I'm embarrassed to say this is the first thing I've ever heard by Rory. I'm blown away. I'm definitely a fan for life now.
Its been a week since I heard Rory for the first time. I have been snowed in since then. I listen/play along with this song at least a couple times a day. I will never be half the guitarist Rory was but one can dream. Lol
@@Brian-rq8hi ..have a listen to "Million Miles Away" "Walking On Hot Coals" and "As The Crows Fly" one of my favorite albums of his was "RORY GALLAGHER IRISH TOUR 74" it's an awesome live album..he's in his element.and those songs i mentioned are on there..cheers matey!
deff listen to everything, even same songs are always different.
@@warmey60four thanks for the tip. I'm listening to all his music I can find.
@@Brian-rq8hi Check out the 'Irish Tour 74' live album. It's one of the best albums you'll ever listen to.
Bloody hell nearly thirty years since this great artist died!
Hands down probably one of the best blues songs out there
Definately JT.
Right on! This track is absolutely epic.

Do you mean End X ?
@@karayuschij oops.. Good point :3
Jimi and Rory always used te wisest of words when they spoke which they learned for their total dedication and very hard work, They sold their lives to their music so we could enjoy their music forevermore. God blessed Rory & Jimi, I was told by a person in the know that Jimi & Rory were and are Gods most favorite rocking guitar players along with Phil Lynott who is his most favorite songwriter/story singer, it must have something to do with those 3 boys Celtic blood
EXACTLY
I saw him in 1973 when I was a teenager OMG! I’ve never seen anything like that before or after. He was a true bluesman. His music came directly from his heart. This song is my personal favorite. Long live Rory Gallagher’s music!
Rory is the 13th Olympian God! Warmest greetings from Greece.
Πόσο δίκιο έχεις.
ναι, τοσο μας αγγιξε που δικαια ανεβηκε στο πανθεον
Rory was loved in Greece 🇬🇷❤️
Thanks, from Belfast
Όταν ακούω τα τραγούδια του μου έρχονται στο μυαλό τα σχολικά μου χρόνια κρίμα που έφυγε τόσο νωρίς
Rory is and always will be a Guitar God, this track is sublime and nothing more needs said. rip
One of the greatest and most underrated musicians I’ve ever listened to. His music will never fade.
I am 59 yrs old now, grew up listening to Rory, Still one of the best ever!!
When you play from the soul, then it must be divine...🎶🎸🖤
Soul, guts and genius!
The most fluent guitarist and performer ever.
On peut choisir n'importe quelle chanson et surtout live de Rory sur youtube on est jamais déçu ,un des plus grand !
Απίστευτος.... Αθάνατος Rory Ghallagher! R.I.P.
I love this kind of blues.
I'm in my 60s, never listened much to Rory in those days. Too young to understand the blues. But give it time and you mature, I'm here now. Time to revisit the past, never too old to learn.
yes, never too old to learn; quite right you are. I heard him for the first time while I am 51. learned now - amazingly!
Absolutely!!!! The Blues is what begot music. Even within my family to the British coming here in the 1600's. They too created from their times into the blues. My ancestor became a well known church hymnal creator.
@@lisaweaver986
Perhaps some of my ancestors knew some of yours. On my mother's side, there was an accomplished Scottish violinist, John Skinner, 1890s/1900s. Further back, another John Skinner was close friends with Robert Burns. A stone marker still stands in the family house yard where the Tullochgorum Tree once stood.
Anyhow, Rory's music is truly captivating and somewhat of a portal where new friends step through.
I'm 19 and I'm listening to blues, blues rock like Gary Moore,Peter Green for 7 years. I'm a metalhead but blues is the escape from the harsh tracks at night
Trust me his music will live on. I am in my 50's who has a twin 15 yr old twin son who loves and plays his music on his guitars (I did not know of Rory until my son). Recently, my son was honored to play with two of the original band members that played with Rory here in Portland, Oregon in Dec 2018. Rory's music will forever live on and on..
My beautiful Lynn passed last March 23. 2020 ..
This calms me as Jesus holds me. Thanks guys
Stay strong Steve!
SAW HIM TWICE IN DUBLIN WHEN I WAS VERY YOUNG. A GREAT GUITAR PLAYER, A GREAT SINGER AND A GREAT GUY.
Retour vers ma jeunesse, pas toujours facile alors j'écouter ce monsieur. Merci
Im from Ireland and Rory doesnt get the recognition he deserves,sad Rory Galllagher RIp a top top guitarist,
Thank you Ireland for gave us Rory Gallagher! 🙏🙏🙏
And so many wonderful artists
@@susanaffonso5916
Even Jedward?
@@marcelboogaard3809 nah Gary Moore and thin lizzy
Again. Best blues live record ever....
If this doesn't touch your soul, nothing can. My God, what a monster player, the best ever!
when I listen to RG all of the pain I feel in this life simply disappear's for a while and I just get lost in the music and travel to a whole other world man
Been listening to Rory since 1973..I never get tired of that great guitar playing...A true master and a gentleman, that never took the commercial route but stayed true to his art ..respect
When they grow commercial they sell their soul, literally...
This is my first time, it won't be my last! 👌
" The last of the independents ".
This is why I love blues music; it's so easy to relate to the lyrics and that makes me feel less alone
I love the blues and jazz and classic rock n roll
If you don't love blues, you ain't human.
@@fubartotale3389 don't dehumanize people bro. There's enough of that
Now we're talkin', THIS is the blues, at it's finest! 👌
True👍
When we talk about Irish bands, most people mention U2; I just think of Thin Lizzy and Rory. He is still a guitar god, who has influenced many musicians. Rest in Power, Rory!!!
Me too along with late Gary Moore
@@dipendrachhetri1524 yes, I forgot Gary Moore, blame on me!
Now Bono charges us for violation of human rights.....
Michael: Rory Gallager, Thin Lyzzy and Gary Moore, ( the bigs Irish bands)
i met rory in manchester with my sons and my nephew he took us backstage to meet the band .we will cherish that memory .god bless you rory.
Softly spoken and humble off-stage; the most dynamic incendiary performer on stage, bar none in the blues rock universe
Rory was a humble Irish man he was gifted the traditional Irish music and was well loved for his delicate and intimate knowledge of its intricacy many Irish trad musicians play blues many Seán nós singers sing soul. Music unites ... When someone asked Jimmy Hendricks "what it was like being the best guitarist in the world?" his reply was "why don't you ask Rory Gallagher " judging from that answer they were obviously respected friends and credit to Hendrix it was the best Irish style compliment to say that! Hope the two are jamming on up there
Rory was my Cousin, and I can confirm he was a total legend
I met a kid in the bar a few years ago and when he told me he was from Cork, Ireland, I commented on what a huge Rory Gallagher fan I was. He went absolutely bananas, telling me how Rory is still a national hero in Ireland and Cork in particular. Bought me Irish whiskeys all night too!
Pas une semaine sans écouter Rory !!! et ça fait un paquet d'années ... le feeling est toujours la !!!
Not a day......
The Blues just doesn,t get any better than this,,,,,,,That guitar and delivery of lyrics are a world of emotion..
As many people have said, Rory was a true gent. Soft spoken, humble but supremely talented. I saw him twice in the 70's, and got to meet him backstage. An experience I have never forgotten. Rest in peace Rory. The music world is a lesser place without you.
For me, Rory was really amazing. The most extraordinary blues guitarrist I had ever hear. Full ofÑ blues and soul singer and outasigth guitar player, I have his original Taste second vinyl record called On The Boards, what a beautiful album. Also 10 of his best cd recordings, remastered. I love Jimi Hendrix two first albums, but about Rory I love all his albums. About psychedelic music I love too much these bands, Love, Spirit, The Outlaw Blues Band. In progressive rock I love these phenomenal three bands, King Crimson, Gentle Giant, Jade Warrior.
Rory is jamming with Jimi right now and the album will be released shortly and by God we need it badly.
Thank you Rory for all your music and associated good times.
YESYESYES 100TIMES A MINUTE
Thanks for the nice recording broadcast.The legend is among us thanks to TH-cam music.
"Come si fa non amare Rory" "Passione, Talento e Innovazione"
Un power trio (sur scène) qui rempli tout l'espace musical avec brio et sensibilité ,la maîtrise parfaite.
J'écoute Rory GALLAGHER depuis 1975 et je l'aime toujours autant: rares sont les musiciens qui dégagent autant d'émotions.Ce morceau est sublime.
The attention Rory received from his loyal followers, throughout his career, was probably all the recognition he needed. Not a man for stardom or filling arenas where the music doesn't come into its own.
Sweet Jesus! Did I ever need to hear this! Rest in Peace, Rory, you're an Angel now😇💜
The shortest 9:22 min of my life. Time just flew...
This guy was one of a kind
I remember driving my 55 - 2 door Chevy Wagon there was nothing louder and sounded so strong than Rory's blues rock back in 1975 now at the age of 63 I've had young men ask who I'm listening to I just tell them Rory Gallagher and the look on their faces how's that.
The Irish are well-known for having poetry in their soul, and this fella exemplifies this through his rare gift for blues. Beautiful. Thanks Don
I can listen to Rory 24/7 he calms my soul
Never got to see him, but I had all his albums, incredible musician .
I have a complaint. Why RG songs never last enough? I could listen to this for hours...
On this video, go to settings, choose additional settings, choose loop.
I think he is a Million miles away ,but God how much are we blessed to hear this in 2020 ,where things are going wrong ! bless you Rory Gallagher .
2:58 Here in spain thinking about the same thing like you
So do we in Italy
I am happy to have turned 19 in 1981 - and had a lifetime of the best guitar to experience
Ох,Шикарен!!!
ПУсть не говорят про великих гитаристов ,и которых только и знают: Хендрикс,Блэкмор ,
что нет никого более!!!
Вот он!!!
Рорри Галлахер!!!
ну почему же---- сантана, пит таунсенд, марк фанер, джими пэйдж, тони айоми, тзд нюжент, их не очень много, но они есть, главное---захотеь их слушать
this kind of Blues will live for the next 100 years - because it is dynamic played and sung with heart. btw i am a metal fan (Sabaton, Santiano, Metallica). But want to thank you - Rory Gallagher - for your great music
God Bless the Man on the Day of his passing today June 14 1995 aged 47
Rory had the face of an Irish Angel and could play like the devil's hell hound was on his trail. He didn't play for money, he didn't play for fame, he played because the music lived inside him fighting for a way out. He was a conduit for the mainline of the blues.
Absolutely right ! His playing captures the emotions of this wonderful music. I've been a fan since the 1980's but we'll be listening to Rory in centuries to come.
Very well put
Rory was touched by his musical muse and followed her home.
@@annwachter5985 That's beautiful.
Wonderful comment. 👍
que bueno siempre nuestro Rory. Que guitarrista tan increíble.
I can see why Hendrix considered Rory the best guitarist my top 5 ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I found Rory to be such a master he could have a big band and yet he chooses a 3 piece and still shines no matter who’s playing with him. A star for sure ❤
Hope Rory & Gary are jamming up there. Two of the greatest rock blues guitarists & both from Ireland.
What a talent. 🎸
He was one of the best of all time. He will always be!! - Love you Rory -Rory Gallagher, Alvin Lee and Gary Moore... Three of the best Guitar Legends of all time : )
I met and chatted with Rory Gallagher when he was in Cleveland many moons ago (maybe 1975?) He was sitting alone at a table at The Harbor Inn bar in the flats. He must have been in town for a show. Beyond talented guitarist.
Thanks for sharing this lovely memory!
@@DonsTunes He was a sweet gentleman.
❤my father loved you and now ..me..his daughter. I love too... I discover in your.great singer and a great musician ❤
Rory is a National Treasure. Thank God for his time on Earth and leaving us with his music.🎸🎶
Always get a nice feeling just thinking that I've gone thru this life having experienced one of the most Genuine musicians that that moment in time produced, it keeps my spirits up on gloomy days, Thanks Rory and the lads. Thank you life.
@@jakmak1199 💯
He has never played for the money. He has always played with his heart.
Those are the true gifted artist.
@Dfw Fqdefqw Because "automatically", you think you knew Rory more than Henk Vinke did?
Please tell us your story and how you knew Rory in such an intimate manor.
We'd all love to hear your story.
Waiting.......
@Dfw Fqdefqw So... was he a gifted artist, a professional, a hobbyist, or ...?
No he played for a living, to make money. The difference being he was not all about the money, which also means he wouldn't sell himself out just to make money. That's why he didn't put out singles, he was adamantly against it. He remained true to his nature which was important to him. That's the distinction, he certainly did play for the money, but he wanted it HIS way. He spoke of this during some of his interviews.
@@jakmak1199 Not even his souped up Ford? :), but how do you know he dropped acid?
Love Rory's playing, Taste and everything else.❤❤❤❤
Όταν ήρθε κοντά μας (νικος γκουμας) ήμουνα μικρός και μακριά, (κοζανη). όταν μεγάλωσα, Δεν πρόλαβα! ανεκπλήρωτες επιθυμίες!!! Θεός!!!!
I'm new to Rory G and I am most definitely impressed!
This is on the face of people who do not take pentatonic scale seriously.
That guitar solo... what in the world ?!?!
One of Best blues performances. Its hard to believe that this is live. One of few bands that were better live than in studio. This is my fauvorite blues song along with a Bluest blues by Alvin Lee. He build a emotions, tension in mastery level. Page said, makin music is like makin love, one you must me soft and tender and another time hard and raw. Rory was definetely a blues master.
Mi associo al tuo pensiero , ho visto R.G.nel lontano 72 in un piccolo paese del nord Italia in un minuscolo anfiteatro all'aperto , ancora oggi mi vengono i brividi al pensiero di quella fantastica serata !
Speaking of Jimmy Page, do you think Gallagher had been listening to Led Zep's Since I've Been Loving You when he wrote this? Just a little bit...
Btw, 'hard to believe it's live'? How does that make sense? If he couldn't play it live, how would he have played it in the studio? The only difference, in those days anyway, was in the studio you got a second chance. But most people usually went with the first or second take.
His amps went to 11! 🤘🤠👍
I love since I’ve been loving you - Led Zeppelin but this has to be the greatest blues rock song ever recorded
I'm a Zep strong fan, and SIBLY is probably my favorite tune of them, and one of my favorite song ever.
I heard Rory's song yesterday for the first time, and I've been literally blown away.
Another blues masterpiece I may suggest you to listen is "The mists of time" by John Mayall, as well as his early albums
Na hora me veio Led!
Zep fan 2, but try 'Got a mind to give up livin' by Paul Butterfield and Mike Bloomfield, it is exquisite👌
@@sandragriffiths9692 Surely it cant be as good as Fleetwood Macs version.
I must agree. Im a classic blues and rock head. Maybe some jams by srv ior Hendrix has this level. Love them all. Bluest blues by Alvin Lee if mention a underated
