I'm only or just 39 years old. I live in Poland. Rory came here once, about 20 years before I was born. I was only ten when he died. When I was able to learn about him and his music I got crushed with the fact that I would never have a chance to see him live, and I would give almost all gigs I have seen to see just one set of Rory's. He was absolutely extraordinary! And I am pissed that media don't bring his music back to younger generations
All this man had was his guitar and yet he played like no other could, his songs were stories and poems that you believe in completely, Rory was the real deal by a long Irish country mile.
However true the "Irish" bit here may be, it's kind of obsolete. If it's important to you, say, "One of the best blues artists ever, and he was Irish." 😉
Many years back, Rory Gallagher was set to open for Status Quo at the Queen's Park Arena in Burnaby, BC. I went by myself and at opening time an announcer came out to explain that Status Quo's drummer had injured his hand working on a car. Rather than cancelling the concert, it was decided that Rory Gallagher would do a double-long show. It was an unforgettable display of guitar wizardry. Especially when he played slide.
hrothgar64, did you know that Jimi Hendrix, when called "the greatest guitar player ever" by a rock journalist conducting an interview, corrected him and told him that if he wanted to talk to the greatest ever, then he should talk to Rory Gallagher.
i agree, i listen to this in my car every day, beautiful lament in the guitar, those sweet harmonics, and you can here rory in background and i see his face in this solo more than any other tune, absolutely love him, when its finished i almost always say out loud "thank you Rory."..xxxx
David Gilmour can create a magical feeling in a different way, when Dave plays especially on his solo albums it really touches me like this track does by Rory
@hrothgar64 Well your favorite Rory song is ripoff of Gyöngyhajú Lány by Omega. @djspliff26 "did you know that Jimi Hendrix, when called "the greatest guitar player ever" by a rock journalist conducting an interview, corrected him and told him that if he wanted to talk to the greatest ever, then he should talk to Rory Gallagher. " That never happened, and if it did it, it wasn't Rory Gallagher, that bullshit statement has been made about lot of guitarists. And the first time I heard it, the guitarist named was Jeff Beck. Stop repeating that myth, if you can't prove it. Hendrix actually said:"How about best on this chair." in that Cavett interview.
Especially this song is underrated by a lot of people. Fine harmonics, perfects fills and breaks..... even bass is superb. As I heard this song for the first time I repeated it at once for at least one our or more....Thats like reading a book at a stretch to understand all of the content - sure you know what I mean 😅
Saw him live 3 times in the 70s - Liverpool, London, Manchester - wish it had been more. Never saw any other act more than once. Absolutely no comparison. I wasn't a great concert goer but he was the only one I wanted to see again, and again.
I was around back then, saw lots of bands. Not saying at all that Rory was Gods gift. What he did do was to plough his own furrow. He is imo one of the very best live performers I've seen, and if you are a concert goer that's all that matters.
All this man needed was his old guitar Jerry on bass and Ted on drums and yet he played like no other human person could, Rorys songs were brilliant stories and poems that you completely believe, Rory was the real deal by a very long Irish country mile.
I feel like Jerry’s enthusiasm was just as important as his skill. Rory wasn’t the same after Jerry left after all those years. I’ve never seen a bass player so Into the songs. The band Rory had his last few years were stiff on stage.
Growing up with Rory's music, listening to Crest Of A Wave at the age of 15 with its soaring slide, combined with a lovely tune was a wonderful experience. it was a never ending series of joyful albums and live performances for the next 20 years.. I can't explain it, but there's something about his playing that no one else has, combined with his natural humility. Those who love his music know what I mean.
i saw some great rock bands of the sixties and seventies, but I would trade any of those to have seen Rory live. What an artist and performer, R.I.P. Mr. Gallagher, you are much loved and missed.
One of those rare gems you sometimes come across without realizing how really really great it is. And than one day, after hearing it lots of times, it suddenly struck you that this is a masterpiece.... and you didn't even know it... Ah well, now you do at least...... 💕
One of the most underrated guitarist of whom was definitely not a “limelight” seeker but was resolute about touring Ireland at least once a year despite the political unrest in Northern Ireland. Why he’s not in the RnRHOF is a travesty. Another musician of whom left this world way too early. Thanks for sharing your gift with us Rory.
@@verandi3882 , not quite sure. I know his "Live in Europe" album was recorded in the countries of England, Italy and Germany but unsure at all about Greece. I'm sure he made impressions all over though, without a doubt!
Rory got so much sound out of that 61 sunburst.When I saw him in when he was touring after Photo Finish. He had just finished Muddy's I Wonder Who when he kicked into Fuel to the fire.Seeing Rory and Alvin Lee in the same year where the two most intense shows I've ever been to.Rory was so hot that night,he must have taken a quarter of the finish off that evening. R.I.P. William Rory Gallagher (Actual date 6-14-95) but unfortunately were almost there again.
As I explore my own discovery of this great man it seems when I think I've found my favorite song, I discover a new one. RIP Rory Gallagher. May I get the pleasure of meeting you when I too pass on.
Had me a whiskey, and I chased it, Got me some trouble, gonna face it, But if I had a trump card, I would place it, That's for sure....yeah.... I had a dream, but I can't trace it, I call out your name, so you might hear it, But it only adds fuel, to the fire, In my soul....yeah.... If I could just, re-write the pages, Wake up with peace, with the way it is, I don't wanna live in this world, if you can't grace it, Anymore....anymore.....yeah... Friends try to raise my spirits, higher, Well, there's no doubting, the stong desire, They don't feel the heat, of the fire, In my soul....In my soul.... Had me a whiskey, and I chased it, Got me some trouble, gonna face it, But if I had a trump card, I would place it, Yeah...At your door....oh yeah...
simply beautiful how the fuck does he do it, for someone who was supposedly single most of his life he sure sings about heartbreak in a way no other can, you can hear the pain in his voice. R.I.P. rory
No girl friend's ever, look at the guy he must have had women falling over him, I don't believe he was sad it would show in his performance's, perhaps lonely at times but he had Donal there all his life that's love but it's different than romance. He was a very private man there's things we will never know and maybe that's why he shunned the big time, he turned down cream and the stones, his actions reflect that, he obviously didn't want to be under the microscope
Why do I see in this masterpiece of music this song was written and performed about that love that got away? Too humble of a man to show how much it hurt him, so he writes about it in song form which happens to be one of his many great songs ever written
me too sister! I fell in love with him in the late 70s after hearing Irish Tour 74. Played that album all the way through every time. It was years later when I saw how physically beautiful he was...totally matched the beauty of spirit that I felt through the music...I have a powerful love for him and since the internet has come along, I realize that I am not the only one! He would be so surprised at how many people still adore him.

You can get the best live album (also available on same DVD! recommended highly!) called Irish Tour '74...masterpiece!

He was, sad to say he isn't. I would have gave all to take my son and watch this guy Jesus Christ he was good
I saw Rory thirteen times at his best between 1968-1978...what a performer and so underrated, a true bluesman.
Τι μουσικη ρε φιλε!!!!!!!! Αν υπαρχει παραδεισος πρεπει να παιζει μεσα ο Rory Gallagher!
The most complete rock/blues guitar player!!! R.I.P. MASTER RORY!!! We miss you forever!😥
One of the greatest irish artists ever!
Yeah so true ..but Why to limit his infinite talent and music by calling him an Irish rock/ blues star .. he was world"s best Guitarist !
However true the "Irish" bit here may be, it's kind of obsolete. If it's important to you, say, "One of the best blues artists ever, and he was Irish." 😉

@@coffeesnob7600 Hahaha, you made my day with this comment!
Probably my favourite Rory song. The 'shredders' like Malmsteen can only dream of playing guitar with the feel and emotion shown here.

I have had the luck to have seen him in his prime in the 70's. No one else like him.

rory died 20 years ago but still i'm listening his music and songs found never a better blues/rock gitarist than rory

What can one say, guitar playing at its very best, simple, at times intricate, the whole package.
Omfg.... I am demanding this man be played at my funeral 🎸❤️✨🕊💫
