  • Noch bevor Rory Gallagher die 1. Rocknacht in der Grugahalle in Essen 1977 eröffnete, war er bereits mit seiner Band im legendären WDR-Studio L aufgetreten. Die Aufzeichnung fand am 6. Oktober 1976 statt.
    Bei dem Studiokonzert vor Publikum spielte Gallagher (Gesang/Gitarre) gemeinsam mit Gerry McAvoy am Bass, Rod De'Ath an den Drums und Lou Martin am Keyboard. Der Höhepunkt seiner damaligen Show war der akustische (Solo-)Teil, mit dem Gallagher einstieg und den er eigens für den Rockpalast verlängert hatte.
    Nach dem akustischen Teil mit Coversongs aus Country, Blues und Folk folgte der elektrische Band-Teil. Im Verlauf des Konzerts brachte Gallagher das Kölner Publikum mit Akustikgitarre, Dobro, Slide-Gitarre, Mandoline und seiner berühmten, abgewetzten Fender Stratocaster zum Kochen.
    Besetzung
    Rory Gallagher - vocals, guitar
    Gerry McAvoy - bass
    Lou Martin - keyboards
    Rod De'Ath - drums

      Rory and John Frusciante are the only guitarists I've ever heard or even seen that could channel their emotions into an improv on the fly that hit me harder than actual poetic lyricism being sung well.

Nearly a decade later, I still listen to Rory on a daily basis. I've had health problems over the years including a brain tumor that caused me to have epilepsy and Rory is what got me through it all. I had the tumor removed in March of 2019 and when I woke up from the surgery the first thing I wanted was to listen to Irish Tour

    Rory and the band had flown in from another gig...They'd been in the studio for twelve hours, played a marathon gig which was filmed in front of a studio audience..Playing most of the songs from 'Calling Card" before its release..Rory got changed after the performance then had to sit and listen, and answer, the stupid questions of Albrecht....Rory was exhausted, and hungry...How he kept his cool with this guy is a miracle...Rory, a true gentleman, even in circumstances like these......

I have never heard his slide to be this haunting. I'm not knowledgeable like you, but as one true fan to another I don't want you to not witness this awesome performance. And the skat!

    Good grief, this is painful to watch. Rory was such a sensitive, emotional and genuine person. That interviewer is so aloof and showed no empathy whatsoever whilst grilling Rory about personal feelings etc. I wouldn't have been surprised if Rory would've walked out after a few minutes saying, 'sorry mate, I don't think this is going anywhere'. And would you believe he's asking if Rory is satisfied with his life...WTF??? Well, it just goes to show that Rory was extremely easygoing to put up with this nonsense.

    A true gentleman, eloquent both verbally & musically; modest; man of the people; no "star" antics or pretensions. I saw him only once 1972 Xmas-New Year concert , Dublin National Stadium.

    I really enjoyed the interview. Watching Rory handle the would-be shrink was interesting and shows what a gentleman he was. This was in the era of Aerosmith, Queen, Elton John, all the glitz - when everyone was trying to be an untouchable rock star, and yet Rory only wanted to be himself. He reminds me a little of Ronnie Lane - didn't care about anything besides the music.

    Wow, Rory isn't only an incredible musician, but very patient as well. I love how he speaks very slowly so that the interviewer understands and how he doesn't even flinch, being confronted with their communication culture, lol. The amount of times I thought "Stop being rude, ffs!" - and I'm German, so I know that the interviewer wasn't trying to be rude, but was just not being too familiar with international communication and was possibly insecure, too, because of the language barrier, so he cut out all the polite small talk, signs of appreciation and other "nice to have"s. Still - Imagine how an Irishman must feel, being interviewed in that manner. He must've met a lot of Germans before - or he's a true saint.
    Having said that, I love your work, WDR - and for that time the interviewer's English was incredible! Way to go!

    Really like this. Looks like Rory has had a small refreshment - which helps when faced with this interviewer. Some interviews he could be more inhibited as - for me - the intensity of his commitment to the music must make it awkward to talk about it.
    The man played and sang. Others talked...

    looks like a German programme, Rory is the perfect gentleman the interviewer is picking up on what he says not what he is saying. and he is one hell of a guitarist loved by all my mates who range form mods to metal. he was the blues.

      They did this interview after the Rockpalast 1976 show. I read an article that said the band had been in the TV studio all day, then gave that brilliant performance in the evening, then Rory, exhausted and hungry ( hadn't eaten since lunchtime) patiently answered all these questions. That smile at the end was probably relief at the prospect of finally being able to go get a meal and relax.

    I first got into Rory when I was still at school ( I'm 67) when I heard " Same Old Story" by Taste. Unfortunately I only saw him once when he played at Free Wheels , a bikers festival in Central France I think in 1991. Sadly missed RIP

    I find that when artists as well as everyday folk are asked to describe emotions, especially the blues with words are immediately humbled. The humble experience attracts humble people or is humbling if you are not already there on arrival. I like the way the subject is addressed here in the interview and in the comments. I've been moved by how Keith Jarrett and Billie Holiday talk about that expression. Billie Holiday talks about how the Blues is not about one particular emotion (sad) but others as well. Keith is just on another plane when he talks about it It is an experience that is identifiable, but not easily put into words no matter what fund words you have or ability to articulate. People tend to hit that wall where music has to take over where words simply cannot. This is so wonderfully demonstrated in this interview.
    Cheers-

      My 83 yo father's been a poet and songwriter since he was 13. I never realized how difficult is for an average person without the gift to make one single composition until I tried. He made lyrics and music at the same time mostly in 1-2 hours but most of the time it was in less than half an hour. Now I'm 40 and started to write my feelings as therapy. Metric, rhyme and metaphors are coming fluent. It's sad feelings that gave me that kind of inspiration. It's weird. I always thought it's something you was born with. Buts it's probably something you need to discover inside.

    Saw Rory down-under in Sydney at the Capitol Theatre in the late 70s early 80s many times before Capital closed for a few decades to reopen later. Rory was a guitar master, full of energy. If you were up close to the stage he often let you strum his beaten fender guitar. The show always left you in awe to his music ability on multiple electric and acoustic instruments. But rock-blues was down pat Rory style. God bless you, memories to be cherished with the Boys. Still got and listen to all your albums. Energy and style at another level.

    Nothing like an overly cerebral German trying to understand where "music comes from" by asking one of the best musicians ever to walk the planet some of the most awkward questions possible. Rory was graceful in his answers even if his frustration with having to go through this torture was ever so slightly hovering in the background. I cut my teeth on "Irish Tour- '72" and still play it 50 years later when I need to turbocharge my day. You were the best, man. Still are.

    I knew his name , as I saw posters of him in Liverpool in the early 1980’s..but didn’t know anything about him. I remember thinking who is Rory Gallagher? I never got to see him, now all these years later on TH-cam I’m blown away by his brilliance not only musically but as a thoughtful person with a gentle and beguiling manner. Quote from Polly Toynbee wisdom: Never be beguiled by false promises of simplicity, because peoples circumstances don’t come in one size”.

      I didn't find the interviewer's style to be psychoanalytic at all. The interviewer was a German and he was curious and wanting to help his German audience understand American music and American guitar playing style. I found the innocence of his questions endearing and I'm sure his German audience appreciated the information he was getting from Rory who generously gave it.
