    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.

    In winter of '84 he played in Sarajevo during winter Olympic games,, few hours before the concert I happened to bump in him as he was walking outside the popular olympic hotel in mountain above the city with his band mates around him, snow was everywhere and just as they passed me by - he slips on snow, and as I was nearest - I was first to help him to get up,, and he was very appreciative, and as he got up he gave me hug and handshake,,,,, of course I could not miss the moment and I asked him for autograph - piece of paper I had, but it took us few moments to find pen,, what intro to the best live concert I ever attended? This moment of meeting the legend I will never forget...

      I was in Ballyshannon back in September, 2023, didn't realize that Rory was born there and when I saw his statue in town, I flipped. Later that day I wandered into and art co-op and had tea with one of the owners. He was about the age the Rory would be now, 75, and I spent several hours there listening to the guys Rory stories. He said Rory would come back from Cork and spend time with friends and family there. This gent used to play with Rory when they were little, not so much music, but fun, kid stuff. Great experience - one of many that I had in Ireland.

    Saw Rory in early 70s as opening band for Deep Purple. He had on old ripped jeans, red flannel shirt and an old fender strat and proceeded to destroy the arena. Opened up with "Cradle Rock"and blew away everybody! Next day went out and bought everything I could find of his! I'm 67 and I was a fan from that day forward. One of the greatest performers I'd ever seen!!!!!

    I first encountered Rory Gallagher on Friday August 2nd 1968 ( I was twenty then) when he was still leading his trio called Taste. By that time I had already seen Jimi Hendrix live on two occasions. But for me Rory was even more exciting than Jimi. The sounds he was getting out of his battered old Vox AC30 amp that night was incredible. The gig was the regular Friday blues night at the California Ballroom in Dunstable. When we found out he was playing the following night in Saint Albans Civic Hall only about another ten miles down the motorway, we were there like a shot. Rory’s playing that night was just as impressive as the previous evening, he was in incredible form. Jimi Hendrix was once asked by a music journalist what was it like to be called the world’s greatest guitarist. Jimi, modest as ever, replied “ You should be asking Rory Gallagher that question”.

Just raw, unbridled talent - blew the roof right off the place. He was one of the best to ever strap on a Stratocaster - a truly remarkable musician. Bravo Rory!!

      I got to see him three or four times. When I saw him at the Bottom Line in NYC Jerry Hall was in the audience. He always gave everything he had at every show. The last time I saw him was rough. It was clear that something was wrong and he passed shortly after that performance. I grew up learning his songs and wanting to be like him. No flashy nonsense just talent. I'm not sure if I miss Rory or miss those days. I suspect it's a little of both.

    I visited Rory’s hometown of Cork and went to the small music library they’ve established in his honor. It was a moving experience. I’m 65 and have heard all the great blues and rock guitarists and to my subjective opinion, Rory had as much command over his instrument as anyone I’ve ever seen or listened to. He was also an incredibly nice and humble individual. I had the opportunity to see him perform at a small club in Philadelphia in the mid 70s. The performance left me as impressed as I’ve ever been by any musician I’ve ever seen and I’ve probably been to several hundred concerts over my six decades. If you haven’t seen it, Ghost Blues, the documentary about Rory, is very well done. Hope you enjoy it. ☮️💚🍎

    His solo acoustic version of Nothing But The Devil Blues is as fine of an example of blues as any performance I've ever witnessed. From his choice of guitar, to playing it as a lap steel slide to start the song, to leaving space within the song for both the sound of his foot stomp keeping time and showing off his vocal prowess by singing the notes he was playing on guitar, he gave us an awesome display of what the blues can be in the hands of a true artist. His immense talent, combined with his instinctive understanding of the blues as a method to use for communicating with others, puts him in a very special group of people. He never forgot his roots and could always relate to what people went through from day to day. I thank those who made these videos, which aren't the same as seeing him live, but still demonstrate his artistic genius.

      Good question about his blues influences. Van Morrison grew up in Belfast and I think his father was in the merchant navy; he'd bring records home from the US. Rory was born in Ballyshannon but grew up in Cork. My only guess is he heard blues music on the radio.
