At 78 i will probably be considered a coffin dodger (Rory was 5 years younger than me) buf Rory's music is still .alive,. and this track is my all time favourite.Saw him live in '71.His two lp's released that year contain some amazing tracks that you can (maybe fully )appreciate after a hundred plays or so ( available on you tube ).I have to admit that after over 50 years playing they are getting a bit scratchy now !. love the fact that bands play Rory's music today. can still bring back to me memories of those times when we had real music played by Rory,SRV and Gary who put Blues Rock on the map.
R.I.P Rory. Perhaps i will meet him again ( not too soon) on the other side one day.
Take care Rory fans everywhere,keep playing his music !.
Stay strong healthy creative and blessed.
@@georgefromgreece4119 Thanks George.Peace be with you,bob
Many. many great artists from Ireland including Gary Moore, Phil Lynott, The Corrs, The Cranberries and of course Niall Horan. Mr Gallagher is Ireland's greatest musician in my humble opinion.. Cork has every right to be proud of this gentleman. Just sorry I never got the opportunity to see him live. Keep singing Ireland.
Phil Lynott love him so much!!! One day I will go to Ireland so I can visit his statue.
I saw Rory 4 ,5 times
in the Netherlands in the 70,s.I listen almost every day to his music.I am 73 years old.Keep listening everyone.
Read Exit Musc by Ian Rankin. His detective, Rebus, listens to Rory when off duty at home.
I am 70 & just discovered this Irish master last year, thank goodness. Now not a day goes by that I don't enjoy hours of his concert masterpieces or priceless recordings. We were blessed with a once in a lifetime presence by Rory's genius.
Rock on brother ☘️🎸
Rory and JANE still work for me , all the best Roel, I'm right behind you at 70
My name is Sava and i am twelvye and i am listening to this music with my grandfather who is sixty years old, he crys while i am translating comments. Hee told me that i will tonight meet the best, glorius mans who ever borned, i will give my best to be good man like you, Greeting Sava, from Serbia.
Well said Milan.. Can I run something past you for yer grandfather.. Mention Stojkovic the Pixie.. We Irish had Liam Brady..
Greatest give ever from your Grandpapa
Love to both of you from NYC
Rock on young Man .You are tracking the right way in life
Sava! I guess this beats turbofolk (are they still listening to that in Serbia?). Enjoy this music. Puno pozdrav.
svaka čast mali, samo tako nastavi!! :D
Greatest guitarist in the world , he loved the fans , and they loved him
Pure rock musician didn't court fame just loved plying his craft on stage. Much missed RIP Rory ❤
I'm 63 years old now, since my youth I discovered and enjoyed pink floyd, the temptations, the stones, dylan, clapton, neil young, deep purple, bb king...., but only in 2020 that I discovered this man, he's fantastic, unique and uncomparable. It takes me back to the 70's.
i just found him too this year im 50 now
hes awsome
There's a fantastic festival in Ballyshannon, Co Donegal, and Ireland in early June in honor of Rory. You should check it out.
Rory Gallagher Festival Ballyshannon, Co Donegal, Ireland.
Welcome home
I, like you, listened to and loved all the bands you mentioned, plus many more and other genres too many to name. I did have the pleasure of seeing him in concert back in the early 70s. What a concert he played! Outdoor concert. Joints going around freely as it was at most concerts back them! Yep, those were the days! (BTW, I'm 65 and still rockin' down! My husband calls me the perpetual teenager! Gotta love him for that!
Those of us who got the privilege to see Rory play still have him playing in our minds and soul.
I'm not Irish, but I am when listening to Rory!
Gone but never forgotten. RIP Rory. You were the best of the best.💜🏴
Are you sure of that? You are right mate
Would be great....ciao Rory .....RIP
Rory was very special so so glad to of seen him live a few times rip
@@donaldfraser1555 I'm so jealous you saw Rory play live. It must have been amazing to see him with his band on stage.💚
I saw Rory play at the Capitol Theatre in Sydney Australia in the 1970s he was brilliant. One of the punters got carried way, jumped up onto the stage security on his tail but Rory told security to bugger off and invited the guy up to his mic. He allowed the guy to sing with him and the audience went nuts. What a gig I'll never forget it, Rory was awesome he gave his all. I'm now 67 and I remember that moment like it was yesterday.
RIP Rory, Rod, and Lou.
Thank You.
Rory,durch deine Musik bist du mir sehr nahe-keine Millon Mile away!
My older brother took me to my first concert to see Rory at the Free Trade hall in Manchester (Now a Radisson hotel!!) Think it was 1974 and I was 15! What an impression it made on me standing in the stalls and that ringing in the ears!! I was lucky to see Rory at a number of venues in Manchester in the years after that first concert, and always wanted to be in the stalls near the front. What great days. Funnily, the last time I saw Rory live was at the Free trade hall, where he was the star act at a concert celebrating the Fender Stratocaster guitar! Fantastic memories.
Der beste als Musiker und Mensch,, gilt auch für seine Band 🇮🇪🎸👍🔝🌠👑
I am Marcos from Brazil I´m 54 years old and I discovered Rory when I lived in NY, 11 years ago, He´s one of the best guitar players ever...I love his songs...like someone wrote, he brings me back to the seventies...
The very first gig I ever went to was to see Rory at the Glasgow Apollo in October 1980. I was only 16 at the time, and didn't know anything about the man, a work colleague had arranged the tickets. I remember little about that night, but since then have realised that I was in the presence of a legend. Blessed to have been there.
This is the best song ever written by the best guitar player to ever live! BAR NONE! Just amazing vocal guitar lyrics! I love you Rory! Thanks for all the music now and when you were with us! You were and still are a beautiful human being! From 76 to 90 I only saw him live 3 times but I guess I wish it could’ve been more but at least I got 3 in...We miss you a Bunch!
I was around 19 years old, East Germany, I bough the record for one hundred east german mark, TATTOO, this has been my absolute favourite song, I heard it again and again. Long time ago. Still so good.
Πόσο μας λείπεις....
I saw Rory open for ZZ TOP in OKC,OK on their Fandango tour. most people that night ignored Him and miss on a Historic artist. I was mesmerized by his work. RIP Rory gallagher. this country boy loved your music. Living like a Trucker was my road song for the 30 years I was trucker.
Yr post gave me the chills. thanx.
Listening now to Living like a Trucker in Cork City - Rorys home town in Ireland. Saw Rory play in Cork City. Awesome.
His music will live on!
years later, and he probably still never ever realized how many people he helped understand the blues
or understand them selves, but, is there really a difference in the two
we're just broken pieces of an instrument trying to make the right sound
Just discovered this guy at 65 years of age, takes me back to those days, real music, real talent. Thought I’d heard it all with Hendrix, Clapton, Kossoff and Ackerman but Rory is right up there with them all. R.I.P.
have you heard Lonnie Mack? He's another superb singer/ player that too many people don't know of.
@@abelincoln5698 I've not heard of him. Thanks. Will check him out.
He tore up the old Mississippi nights in St. Louis in 1985. Probably the best concert I ever seen.
Many great words have been spoken and written about the great man Rory Gallagher but something that is a little overlooked is the man writings, Rory was a master storyteller, a poet and a teller of tails of the very finest Celtic order
I can confirm it from basque country as well
@@aitorteama I am very happy to hear that all is good in the very fine lands of the Basque country, I am sure Rory would have thought the very same as I do.
I've only discovered him last few months and absolutely love his music..brilliant.
Me, too. I'm trying to make up for lost time by listening every single day for as many hours I can enjoy. Thanks for your comment.
omg...the bass line is superb
Mein Idol meiner Jugend, schau dir Rockpalast 1976 an oder 1977 an! Habe leider seine letzte Show in Deutschland verpasst wegen meinem damaligen Job. Denke seitdem über mein Leben nach
Rory, one of the greatest guitarists ever, but also one of the most humble guys you could ever meet. Kept his feet on the ground and always found time for everyone, a gentleman,says it all about the man. Genius!!!☘
If there's such a thing as an underrated legend, it's Rory. An incredible guitar player, equally great at the Blues and in your face rock and roll. I hope people remember him. He deserves that. If you've never heard of him, you've been cheated.
I'm 62 and I'm still trying to turn people on to him
@@jerrywhalen2100 I'm with you man. 67 years old and still telling people about Rory.
@@jerrywhalen2100 so am I. I'm 59
@@senseblossomxxx5260 Good!! I like when I'm hearing!!
I am yet to hear anyone to better the sheer fun and pleasure of watching a real musician like Rory Gallagher play saw him play many times and it was a awe inspiring experience and to meet him you was a real pleasure too.
I'll never forget seeing him at JB Scots in Albany, N.Y. in 79 or 80. What a show!
Saw Rory 20 times...London Paris reading etc . Every gig Rory exploded on the stage with real emotion and brilliant guitar playing. The word genius is over-used but with Rory it fits perfectly.
When I'm. listening to this song I 'm thinking about my sooo much beloved friend, he passed away some times before , now he is a million miles away.
I hope that my beloved friend will still be with me, even when he is sooo far away.
its a sad act of life that when someone dies too soon we remember them as great as the last day. Rory will never grow old, just be grateful there is so much material in the archives of this genius
'Tattoo' best blues album EVER, rory gallagher at his finest
He may be but he's just a mouse click away when I need to see him, Rock on Rory *
I'm pleased to say I saw him at small local gigs NW England. Rory was a music machine. Not many of him have ever lived. Be lucky.
Saw him in 1974 in Milwaukee twice, once in a small basement club called Humpin' Hannahs, where he roamed the crowd jamming and later that year at the Riverside Theatre with Rush and Vinegar Joe. Still have the cassette tapes. The Hannah's show is amazing to hear after 45 years. Caught him again in Chicago around 1990. Funny naming an airport after him, he hated to fly
Do you have any live tapes of Vinegar Joe from that night?
@@glamrockstar4241 Unfortunately not, batteries did not last long then, and I was saving them for the main act. Not to mention the price of tapes. Wish I had recorded Rush too, but they were nobodys on their first American tour at the time
@@deweygill1973 WHAT a night that was for you to ever remember. MERCY.
Pure genius !!
Saw him at the Hammersmith Odeon in 1977 he just blew me away incredible.
This is from the gut, pure and unfiltered. Rory is the working man's musician.
What do you mean? I'm a non working old man and I've loved Rory all my life, he's shaped my soul!
People that have to work on shitty jobs and factories mostly are fuckin idiots. Rory wasn't an idiot. He was a brilliant musician. That's why he had nothing to do with your social layer and all the shit enveloped into it
And autentic guitar's Master
Can't remember how many times I seen him play live just remember when you were there you were there, great times,,,
So lucky!! I only discovered him about 5-6 years ago. I'm 66.
I saw Rory 4 times in my live and Ill
never will forget him . RIP
Calling Card was one of my favorite albums when I was growing up great great guitarist.
A humble man and musician who gave so much joy to so many who actually listened and absorbed the music. Much missed Rory.
I saw him live a number of times in England. Pure magic, greatly missed.
Harpo’s in Detroit. Early 80’s. I was lucky to have seen this genius.
Right there with ya!
That concert was just before Harpo's went disco, saw a lot of great groups there, but none better that Rory.
This song is a national treasure ❤️❤️,miss you Rory but you'll never be forgotten 🤘
Against The Grain is Fantastic... First and only time I heard a wah wah played... *;*
i shed a tear everytime i hear this start sooo beautiful its like you are there in that bar
true. Rory´s songs can really take you by the heart.
My shame is forgetting the beauty and genius of Rory among my heroes of the generation!
Un grande e,,,,,,,,,unico r i p 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎵🎶🎼panta stin kardia mou ciao
C'est pour moi un sinon le plus grand joueur de guitare dans sa branche. Un charisme sur scène qui n'a eu que très peu d'égal. J'en ai des frissons de l'entendre jouer et chanter. Chapeau bas.
RIP Rory , rock on brother !
my Generation,-my music,-
unforgettable, an amazing musician
Шикарнейший блюз, браво Рори!!!!!!
KING RORY The Best musician ever. Rock forever
Iconic guitarist. I bought the Taste album "On The Boards in 1970" and was immediately hooked on the track What's Going On. Saw his last concert in Holland, after the concert he signed my 3 albums. Three weeks later he was dead. Rory lives on in his music.
lui je l'aime toujours depuis 19 74, et un concert bourré d'énergie , de fureur et douceur, un magicien en live , et de la générosité en stock inépuisable, j'y reviens sans cesse à Rory .
This hotel bar is full of people,
The piano man is really laying it down,
The old bartender is as high as a steeple,
So why tonight should I wear a frown?
The joint is jumpin' all around me,
And my mood is really not in style,
Right now the blues flock to surround me,
But I'll break out after a while.
Yes I'm a million miles away,
I'm a million miles away,
I'm sailing like a driftwood,
On a windy bay,
On a windy bay.
I'm a million miles away,
I'm a million miles away,
But I'm sailing like a driftwood,
On a windy bay,
On a windy bay.
Why ask how I feel,
Well, how does it look to you?
I fell hook, line and sinker,
Lost my captain and my crew.
I'm standing on the landing,
There's no one there but me,
That's where you'll find me,
Looking out on the deep blue sea.
There's a song on the lips of everybody,
There's a smile all around the room,
There's conversation overflowing,
But I sit here with the blues.
This hotel bar has lost all its people,
The piano man has caught the last bus home,
The old bartender just collapsed in the corner,
Why I'm still here, I just don't know,
I don't know.
I'm a million miles away,
A million miles away,
I'm sailing like a driftwood on a windy bay,
On a windy bay.
I'm a million miles away,
A million miles away,
I'm sailing like a driftwood on a windy bay,
Send me away...
Wait, they renamed the Cork airport after Rory? I read years ago that he was deathly afraid of flying, which according to the story, was why he didn't play that much in the USA. That's a pretty ironic turn of events. Still, I've loved Rory's music since the 70's. This song is one of his best. People always talk about his guitar playing, but he was a great song writer!
We saw a lot of his shows in San Francisco. Never enough though.
Special thanks for this version of this great songs. Please put this music straight into my vein :D I could listen million miles away again and again.
Love this guy...just a great blues player. Encourage everyone to give Rory a listen
Ik draai nog steeds iedere dag zijn muziek, maar ik ben ook wel blij dat er veel jongere bleus/rock gitaristen er bijkomen. Zo vind ik bv Davy Knowles ook geweldig. De bleus en rock blijft zo altijd bestaan.😜😉🎶🎸
Fue uno de mis primeros contactos con ésta maravillosa música. Tengo 61 años y lo escucho desde los 19. Inolvidable Rory!!!
Still in my heart xxx
I’ve only discovered Rory ... 1 year but I love this dude... Australian radio stations don’t play him... don’t know why? He’s perfect....
Hey Salty, imo I think he's not poppy enough for them, look at this masterpiece here, it's over 11 minutes long, they're after 3 minute hero's but having said that his album Top Priority had a few good radio rock songs on it, Philby, Bad Penny etc so who knows, he's our best kept secret. 👍
Well it’s shin kick morning... I need some action please... what a dude...
I love this song. What a mood it sets Rip rory
Rory was one of the most authentic and honest musicians, and so brilliant. he is undoubtedly immortal for what he stood and played for!
Excellent choice of two well known maybe masterpieces? of this excellent guitarist. Thanks Dimitris
I Liston to this and wonder what happen to what on the radio. This is real rock, dig it you know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Soy canario,tengo 59 años ,y,es el mejor guitarrista de todo los tiempos,al final entre Jimmy y El me he decidido,
Rory Gallagher,the best¡¡
Rory did not release any singles. He didn't want to be top of the pops. He just loved playing guitar.
@@sirarthurferguson3495 ROY one of best to pick up a Guitar, Rock, blues ect.!!!!!!!!!
Yep, Cork Airport should be renamed in memory of Rory.
Rory airport. Meh. Rory Gallagher Airport. Gallagher Airport. yeah alright
Totalement d'accord!! Rory t'es le meilleur !!🤩
It has been,
Top de chez top ces morceaux !
Rien à dire.. Quel dommage qu'il soit parti si tôt... 💀😥
Rory and Gary what can I say. Best ever R .I .P.
Que grande fuistes.eres uno de los grandes para mí fuistes y seguirás siendo un fenómeno un ídolo..R.I.P. RORY..
''There's artists who can wrest us up and place us into themselves.
These are the very 'One's' Who'll' continue to wrest us up...
Even beyond their appointed rests in peace.''
A música do Rory me faz respirar profundo,viajar e não querer voltar ! Bravo ! Viva Rory eternamente !
Before my time. But Rory is timeless and my guitar hero
It's never too late my friend.
I have read over years that rory wasn't technically a great player but he was so much more, humble true to his music and will be listened to for many years to come. Stage struck brilliant lp. Guitar work on this amazing enough energy to blow your socks off! Moon child, brute force and igronance just 2 power tracks to rock to.
AMAZING ! Blues all the way, just LOVE it !
Rory !
rory my fav
"the other grass may be greener, but me I just want my stomping ground" - the vibe of all Rory's songs, even those about always being on the move. Stubborn isn't just a word. 10:20. It can even be a "spirit". Not necessarily a positive one.
He was not a guy that would conform, I've been having that problem my whole life. Play the game, or stay true to yourself. I stay true, but I think they will win in the long run....so that makes me a million miles away.
@@belasgirl6 it can't, not pay off. If your true to yourself life won't still won't be perfect and people will hate you even.
All because if you ain't just "playin'' yourself then your FREE.
I was sounding alittle to confident. But I still think I might be kinda on track. Cheers!!!
Iam 60 and he is with me!
My favorite song from Rory Gallagher. i love the version from the irish tour LP 74. In the silent parts of this song you can listen the audience handclapping and the feet stomps - but they do it quietly out of respect.
Great.
RIP RORY RIP LOU RIP WILGAR RIP TED RIP ROD

Uno dei più grandi chitarristi di sempre
Εντυπωσιακό! Συγκινητικό! Μπράβο. Να μας κρατάει δυνατούς από κει ψηλά!
Χαίρομαι πολύ γιατί σχεδόν σε όλα τα σχόλια για τον Rory υπάρχει κ ένας Έλληνας!!!
Dimitris Mitrolios I know the Greek people have taste and know brilliant rock guitarists
Είχε τόσα πολλά χαρίσματα μου λείπει η ξεχωριστή χροιά της φωνής του τα μαγικά του χέρια όταν έπαιζε κιθάρα και η γλυκιά μορφή του ας αναπαύεται στον παράδεισο
One of a kind, a true guy who just loved playing. A very hard to find someone like this. Always something to find in his music. You will never find it nowadays. Rory did it all, Imo, just wonderful!!
bcoz his among the best we never forget him and his song make him alive among ours..
Remastered. Do I hear horns? This is really powerful. Vocals are damn good. The way it ends is very cool.
Yes there is definitely at least a tenor sax and a trombone in the background on Million Miles away.
25 ans déjà. Pour moi c'était hier et Rory manque à l'appel 14 juin: "a sad day"
Thx for posting this beautifull (mini docu) clip off our Rory, love it from the first, till the last minute, wonderfull Rory !!
Mon ange..... Repose en paix ...................... Tu nous manques tellement !
Best Ever.
I'll miss him but he left me alot
My first Musiclove with 17 . Rory forever 🎧🎸🤘
