    His guitar solo ideas is endless you can tell
    his creativity was a way level up than many so called legendary guitarists you can tell when they are beginning to run out ideas on stage with recycled solo but this genius just went on and on and never bored you with the same licks

    i stopped listening to Rory for years and years after he passed on, it was just too painful because i felt part of my life had died too when he left us. It is only in the last years of my life and the advent of these marvellous videos, now freely available on TH-cam that i am finally happy to relive my days as a young man by watching him again in his prime just as I witnessed at the many concerts I attended. Thank you to everyone who makes these videos available, we are truly grateful

    The great City of Limerick was never the same since Rory played this here, The fisher way
    out on the deep blue stop fishing and returned to port, tied up their boats, went home to wash and put on their best jeans and shirts and brought their wifes and girlfriends down to the savoy so they could meet and greet Rory and his boys to their town, Rory rocked this place so much that after the building had to have its foundation underpinned and re-supported. This explains the power Rory Gallagher

    This is the best performance I've ever seen. I'm reading McAvoy's book and it turns out this is Rod de'Ath's first gig and first number with Rory, having been flown in at the last minute to fill in for drummer Wilgar Campbell. Rory apparently changed the songlist for more of a blues feel in these first shows and you can see McAvoy trying to figure out where Rory is going next. Simply incredible!

    It'll be 50 years on November 1st that I saw Rory at the Montreal Forum. Rush and Nazareth were the back up bands. We walked in on Rush who had just started their first song. I had been to a lot of concerts, but had never heard anything like Geddy. I compared his screaming to that of Robert Plant and Ian Gillan. What a fantastic night of music.

    In Bremen, Germany, habe ich ihn dann mit meinen Freunden dreimal direkt ganz vorne erleben dürfen. Die Halle bebte schon beim ersten song.
    Seitdem begleitet er mich bis heute.

At the end of the first night, I stayed behind while the stage hands were cleaning up . I saw the broken drum stick and asked if I could have it. The guy just handed me the 2 pieces.

      He actually did pretty good in the US, but remember the US has always been saturated with great players, including the guitar players that Rory, Clapton, Beck, Page etc all acknowledged they learnt from.
      Had the privilege of seeing Rory at the Paradise in Boston, towards the end of his life, and, even though he was struggling with health issues, he burned that stage to the ground.

    I wish the radio stations had played him more but hell as far as that goes they could play him on classic rock stations but I blame radio for the reason that a lot of ppl hasn’t heard of him, which is a disgrace in itself. If stations would have just played Rory once every other day (as incredible and so passionate, amazingly talented). There’s something special about the lead singer is also lead killer ass vocalist as well !! I was first introduced in early 80’s. I had to albums of Rory’s and my boyfriend (attn) loaned them out never to be seen by me again. Went thru a bit of very pissed stage. We’re talking 20 , 25 yrs ago. All in the past now. I know this, RORY GALLAGHER FKN KICKS ASS. Passion man with soul bunches of talent. I love 💗him cuz he didn’t give into the commercialization of the entertainment industry. He had steel balls and it was gonna be his (Rory’s)way or the freeway. Smart guy oh and Fantastic, Awesome, terrific, amazing soft spoken, humble, kind carin, common courtesy, a pure gentleman. So patient to( after I saw that one interview) damn. I would’ve give anything to see Rory live. Anybody see him live ? I confess. I have a crush ok . THANKS RORY THE MUSIC !!! Precious gem is what you was is and always will be

    You've just witnessed the absolute daddy of electric blues. Rory played with passion, intensity, and conviction as a matter of cause. The new pretenders need to study this footage,take heed, and bow before a real artist.

      ​​@@senseblossomxxx5260Even as an RG fan I can't agree with "absolute daddy of electric blues". What about T-bone Walker, BB King, Albert King, Buddy Guy etc?
      Or did you mean it in the sense that you personally regard Rory as being the pinnacle of electric blues guitar rather than one of its progenitors?

    If you're into electric blues, you just can't past the fact that Rory was simply the best that ever was. He really makes everyone else look and sound boring. That's just the way I see it.
