Check Rory out at Isle of Wight 1970, makes your hair on your arms stand up. Rory was years ahead of other guitarists. Check out Gary Moore as well. Your head will explode
I'm 75 I've loved Rory since the 70 s......and I'm still grooving to this ultimate musician.....if you have just upon him .ENJOY.....listen to the ultimate guitarist....his guitar his an extension of himself...
@Mike Keeler no he didn't. He actually said his favorite at that time was Billy gibbons. That is a baseless myth that has no proof, even though I think rory is the greatest, jimi never once said that.
@@stybur19 This is the basis of that questionable comment: "According to lore, in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Jimi Hendrix was asked, 'How does it feel to be the greatest guitarist in the world?' He is believed to have answered, 'I don't know, go ask Rory Gallagher.'” This was during his "Taste" days, the first Irish supergroup. They received tremendous responses while opening for Cream and Blind Faith, then performing at the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival. Rory left the group shortly afterwards for reasons which are not clear to this day. He is said to have inspired the next generation of Irish musicians, from Thin Lizzy to U2 to The Pogues and so on. That may be laying it on a bit thick, but Gallagher's legend has grown since his death in 1995. I was so busy at the time, his passing passed me by. He didn't seem to tour where I was during his heyday, so I missed out on seeing him live. No matter, his legacy is "rock" solid, pardon the pun.
People talk too much about Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton and David Gilmour but speak too little of Rory. Rory Gallagher outclassed them all on his worst days. The man was the greatest guitarist to have ever lived.
Well Jimmy did say/answer to the stones magazine guy... Q: Jimmy how does it feel being the best guitarist in the world...? A: I don't know go & ask Rory Gallagher... ✌️🤘🥃
@JimmyDiKac that exact quote has been repeated a million different times and every time it's repeated it's either Jimi Hendrix or Eric Clapton who said it and the 'goat' they're speaking of changes from Terry Kath to SRV to Gallagher to etc etc etc. At this point I don't believe anyone has ever said that except fanboys of whoever they're claiming is the greatest lol
@@chadlaparra5311 as a little side note, the Terry Kath one actually came out of Jimi’s mouth : “One night backstage at Los Angeles’ legendary Whisky a Go Go in the late 1960s, a young Midwestern saxophone player named Walt Parazaider felt a tap on his shoulder after performing with his newly formed band, Chicago Transit Authority. “It was Jimi Hendrix,” Parazaider remembered, smiling. Hendrix, already well known at the time as a guitar wizard, had just watched the band’s set. “Walt, the horns are like one set of lungs,” Parazaider said Hendrix told him. “And your guitar player is better than me.”
@Ryan well he is a worthy mention in my list of favourite players and certainly influences. I don't think he is by far the greatest ever but he is certainly one of the best of his generation when it comes to blues based rock players. I was turned on to him, and GnR, when I saw their Live at the Ritz performance in NYC circa 1988 on an MTV Summer Special. I was blown away by the sheer energy and rawness of it all. Slash played with hardly any effects and his tone and playing were great, considering how wasted he would have been too! His solo(s) on Sweet Child, November Rain, Paradise City, Jungle and many others as well as his guitar work on Estranged make him stand out for me. The Nightrain solo is an inspiration for me too. He combines fast pentatonic and natural minor licks with great phrasing and tone. His work with Velvet Revolver was very good too. Fall to Pieces and You Got No Right are highlights for me.
M5S sooo true rory was charismatic talented musician. Owe him a lot for bringing happiness, comforts and consolation to our hectic life. Big THANKS to RORY!!!
Scusa il ritardo, Beppe è un appassionato di Jazz e Blues, suona il piano e la chitarra. Ha iniziato da giovane suonando nei piccoli locali. Penso che mi possa perdonare perchè il rock nasce dal blues e Rory era un perfetto esponente del Blues Rock. Ciao. P.S. Io amo tutto il rock, blues, punk rock, grunge ecc.ecc.

Rory was NEVER underrated, not by his real fans. He wasn't looking for fame or monetary gain and would not allow singles to be released. If you are only now discovering this amazing man, that doesn't mean he wasn't around. For those of us who did know of Rory, it has been a life-long love affair with those beautiful Blues which he played to perfection.
Spot on. Someone said on a facebook page the other day that peter green was under rated . I've never in my life met a musician that didn't think he was amazing.
He didn't even crack the top 50 in top 100 guitarists of all-time lists from various mainstream and "reputable" music related publications. While I fully get where you are coming from with your sentiments, he is as far as mainstream recognition goes, very unrewarded/unknown for the many things that he contributed to music in general, therefore, he is, by definition, very underrated.
Im a guitar player in a Norwegian "black metal!" (we just call ourselves heavy metal) and Rory is my inspiration. I would never pick up a guitar if it wasn't for my dad showing me this song live 12 years ago!
It’s an amazing live performance of this song. RORY! But I also spot 108 ‘bad pennies’. Tut tut. Need to get yourselves down to the doctor, there is something wrong with your hearing. Inform your medical practitioner that you are unable to appreciate great music.
I saw them 3 times in 80’s and Gerry was hammering out the bass on all of the concerts. Great fun to watch his legs spreading the faster he plays 👍🏴🇬🇧
Back then when artists and bands number one priority wasn't to look good, but sound good and have fun. Also back then when you didn't go to listen to a prerecorded track, but a real expression of creativity and greatness from the artist.
Love when Rory is getting down with Brenden on the kit, the man is my mentor. There will never be anyone who can replace him, you live on forever G-Man.
Back again and this track gives me goosebumps. It's quite easy to get very emotional thinking that Rory left us so soon. Gem of a man by all accounts, and fantastic player
I was fortunate enough to have rock n' roll loving hippies as parents.. I cut my teeth on Rory along with other greats.. And yes, Rory is part of the GREATS list..!!
Music and guitar playing is not a competition, Jimi was great, Rory was great and also a very good songwriter. Gary Moore was great,Jeff Beck and many others where great and all this guys have respect for each other .
Like a bad penny, You’ve turned up again You're in my sights, There’s a mist on my lens I think you know how it was When I tripped and fell, You double-dealed me, baby, And I cracked like a shell Like a bad penny Spins around and around You won't know what's gone wrong When it all falls down You got to learn from now on To stop playing games Ought to keep on moving You got to spin on your way Some lonely nights, Your memory haunts me, You won’t go away Like a bad penny, You’ve sure lost the glow But I'm out of reach Your smile's sure gone cold Can’t ever be back it was then Don’t mess with me, baby My heart (???)

Remember back in the French Navy back in the 2000’s, we’ve stopped in the island of La Reunion, I was sitting in a bar-food truck, drinking a beer, and I start chitchatting with locals fishermen that were originally from the same city than me, one of them was already pretty drunk and kept repeating “you youngsters know nothing about music. Simply because you don’t know Rory Gallagher.”. That peaked my interest and later discovered Rory, what a slap.
Wow! A white Jimi Hendrix! I am 76 years old and have listened to a LOT of rock in my life - but somehow missed Rory Gallagher. My great loss. I learned about him from a Ken Bruen novel and Ken has never led my astray. I've got a lot of catching up to do. This guy is nothing short of FANTASTIC. Thanks for the tip, Ken! First time... but it certainly won't be the last. Long live Irish rock! U2 can't carry this guy's guitar strings.
Rory was a giant who never sought fame or fortune. He didn't play big arenas. If you listen to this epic track you will understand that he was a huge talent. Bigger than so many of his peers.
+Ben McConaghy He playd big arenas. I saw him in 1970 es in Karlsruhe/ Germany with Bands like Chicago and Tina Turner by open air in Wildpark-Stadium with nearly 20000 Visitors!!!!
I agree 100% Ben, and to you my friend Mr. Geißler, yes, he did play big arenas, but he HATED doing so. He always said he preferred the intimate surroundings and atmosphere of a smaller gig. It was only after he did a leg of stadium gigs in the late 70s that he made up his mind, once and for all, that this WASN'T what he aspired to do as a musician.. He just wanted to play his heart out in smaller venues, to crowds that adored him and fully appreciated his music, rather than trying to fill stadia for monetary gain... Respect from Davey
+David Hughes I think your right. I saw Rory nearly 20 times. Only two startet in big arenas. His last visit in Germany was in 1994 in Stuttgart, Reitstadion. The last was one of the best I ever saw. a lot of very young visitors, they didn`t want to end to call him back on stage. At that time he looked very ill but we didn`t now what was happened !
Rüdiger Geißler Wow, that's great.. You saw a lot of great gigs so.. I'd say they were an amazing experience.. I think he's a lot better in smaller venues, he played with more confidence and intensity in these settings.. It seemed he was a lot more comfortable.. But, as you know, he was ALWAYS great, no matter where he played! Respect to you my friend Mr. Geissler :) From Irish Davey
Rory was an amazing guitar player and a very honest man. He loved the blues and the rock. I remember one time that came to Spain and as answer to a pariodist that ask him about the blues and Rory said...Ohhh... I am too old to leave for playing the blues!... It was on the summer of 1985 or 1986 in Madrid... This is the real man: simple, good, honest and a very , very incredible guitarist . Sadly at this times not much people remember him..But for me he and his bands are one of the greatest of the history of blues-rock of all the times. Thanks Rory for all the hours of good music..
When I started playing guitar, I asked myself what sound I wanted...then I heard Rory and I got my answer. All the comments to this video only reinforce that I did the right thing...thanks for this video!
RIP-Rory The Lord called you home too soon. One of THEE greatest, and underrated Guitarists of all time. So many kids today don't even recognize the name. I'll never forget the night I saw Rory Gallagher in '78 at a small club in SF. I may have been too young to appreciate what I was witnessing, but now, OH God I'm glad that I was there...
+randy109 I saw him more than 30 times all around Germany Austria and Swizerland. To remember is very simple: I told my children about him, and now they are 30 , 26, and 19 Years old and they are fans of rory!!
Just another Brilliant performance by Rory Gallagher, I feel so proud to have seen him live quite a few times, with Taste then as a Solo artist, and he never failed to put 100% into every show, and this is a typical performance from him...What a Guitarist, who left us FAR to soon....R.I.P.... Rory...and Thank you the Music........
This is such a unique song, at least to me. The riff reminds me of hard rock, even light metal....but it's Rory Gallagher. So much soul and authenticity, and his band is incredible, too. Love it!
Lucky enough to have seen Rory Gallagher live in 1972. Truly one of the best and "must see" guitar players in the late 60's early 70's. From all the bands I saw I liked Jimi Hendrix the best -- followed by in no particular order, Duane Allman, Alvin Lee of Ten Years After, Rory Gallagher, Carlos Santana, Albert King, and Leslie West of Mountain. There were many many MANY others but those guys in particular will never be forgotten.
@@davidvallone1476 Gary Moore is my fave musician of all time, wish I'd have got to see the other two, still miss going to see Gary in concert, it's not that I knew him personally, it's just his music was a massive part of my life for so many years, so when he went so did that part of me too. Just great that the music they all leave behind can be still loved and discovered today, the concerts and memories stay with us too. These guys though were just on another level, the whole band is here with Rory. Love peace and unity in music. 😎🎧🎶🙌
I was 4 months old when Rory preformed this song, now I'm 30 years old, and my love for Rory Gallagher's craftsmanship will keep growing older and older. Long Live Rory Gallagher

Ive known of Rory for about 2 years now and dont think a day has gone by since then that I have not listened to him and evertime I am in disbelief that it took so long for me to hear of such a great. As a bass player in very glad I discovered McAvoy at the same time. both are simply amazing at their craft and complemented each other so perfectly.
I first heard about Rory while I was in the Army in Germany. They used to play his music at the local GI clubs. He was unheard of in the States at that time. I was saddened to learn of his death years later.
Excellent guitariste, peut-être le meilleur ayant existé. Rien à voir avec la musique qu'on nous sort aujourd'hui. C'était mieux avant, il y avait des talents.

Like a bad penny
Spins around and around
You won't know what's gone wrong
When it all falls down
You got to learn from now on
To stop playing games
Ought to keep on moving
You got to spin on your way
Some lonely nights,
Your memory haunts me,
You won’t go away
Like a bad penny,
You’ve sure lost the glow
But I'm out of reach
Your smile's sure gone cold
Can’t ever be back it was then
Don’t mess with me, baby

First time... but it certainly won't be the last. Long live Irish rock! U2 can't carry this guy's guitar strings.
Hendrix was a black Gallagher (or he tried to be Rory).
What a liberal, hypocritical thing to say. Everything is about skin color with you people ain't it?
His bass player never gets enough love or credit!!!!!!!!!
I am 60 now, i got all his stuff on LP, grrat lad with his strato
I saw Rory 2 times in Boston. He was the best showman and guitar player, may he rest in peace.
Just three musicians and their instruments and history was written by the musical genius of Rory...
My favourite Rory performance if there could be one.
Seems he's still here
This is timeless ,cool, modern, awesome.
moonchild is fantastic too :)
Rory was a giant who never sought fame or fortune. He didn't play big arenas. If you listen to this epic track you will understand that he was a huge talent. Bigger than so many of his peers.
+Ben McConaghy He playd big arenas. I saw him in 1970 es in Karlsruhe/ Germany with Bands like Chicago and Tina Turner by open air in Wildpark-Stadium with nearly 20000 Visitors!!!!
I agree 100% Ben, and to you my friend Mr. Geißler, yes, he did play big arenas, but he HATED doing so. He always said he
preferred the intimate surroundings and atmosphere of a smaller gig. It
was only after he did a leg of stadium gigs in the late 70s that he made
up his mind, once and for all, that this WASN'T what he aspired to do
as a musician.. He just wanted to play his heart out in smaller venues,
to crowds that adored him and fully appreciated his music, rather than
trying to fill stadia for monetary gain... Respect from Davey
+David Hughes I think your right. I saw Rory nearly 20 times. Only two startet in big arenas. His last visit in Germany was in 1994 in Stuttgart, Reitstadion. The last was one of the best I ever saw. a lot of very young visitors, they didn`t want to end to call him back on stage. At that time he looked very ill but we didn`t now what was happened !
Rüdiger Geißler
Wow, that's great.. You saw a lot of great gigs so.. I'd say they were an amazing experience.. I think he's a lot better in smaller venues, he played with more confidence and intensity in these settings.. It seemed he was a lot more comfortable.. But, as you know, he was ALWAYS great, no matter where he played! Respect to you my friend Mr. Geissler :) From Irish Davey
+David Hughes ALWAYS GREAT !!!
Rory was an amazing guitar player and a very honest man. He loved the blues and the rock. I remember one time that came to Spain and as answer to a pariodist that ask him about the blues and Rory said...Ohhh... I am too old to leave for playing the blues!... It was on the summer of 1985 or 1986 in Madrid... This is the real man: simple, good, honest and a very , very incredible guitarist . Sadly at this times not much people remember him..But for me he and his bands are one of the greatest of the history of blues-rock of all the times.
Thanks Rory for all the hours of good music..
When I started playing guitar, I asked myself what sound I wanted...then I heard Rory and I got my answer. All the comments to this video only reinforce that I did the right thing...thanks for this video!
I love watching the Irish Hurrican Play.....RORY ON!!!!
Rory Gallagher was a true Blues Rock legend . I used to buy his albums back in the day, but was never lucky enough to see him live.
Live he was fantastic.. I was 19 years old and I was there :)) Cheers!! Zep.
RIP-Rory The Lord called you home too soon. One of THEE greatest, and underrated Guitarists of all time. So many kids today don't even recognize the name. I'll never forget the night I saw Rory Gallagher in '78 at a small club in SF. I may have been too young to appreciate what I was witnessing, but now, OH God I'm glad that I was there...
+randy109 I saw him more than 30 times all around Germany Austria and Swizerland. To remember is very simple: I told my children about him, and now they are 30 , 26, and 19 Years old and they are fans of rory!!
I to was at that show at the Old Waldorf I think it was on Battery st. and it was smoking!!!
Just another Brilliant performance by Rory Gallagher, I feel so proud to have seen him live quite a few times, with Taste then as a Solo artist, and he never failed to put 100% into every show, and this is a typical performance from him...What a Guitarist, who left us FAR to soon....R.I.P.... Rory...and Thank you the Music........
My guitar hero right to this day
Speechless I saw Rory his concert in 1974 in Amsterdam Concertbuilding this number is the most fantastic music and song he ever have make.
No one touches Rory’s talent or stage presence
Hands down, one of the best!! Love & miss him very much!! 😘🍀😘🍀
Prince anyone?
I LOVE rory but he doesnt come even close to stevie ray Vaughn..
Fantastic Musician Simply Criminally Underrated 🔥🎤🎸🔥🎸🎤🎸🔥🎤🎸🔥🎤🎸🔥💪👊🤘😎
3 musicians 40 years back sounds way better than any today band. Rorry doesn't care for money and success he was different breed
Legendary. The Drumming on this is sensational as well.
This is such a unique song, at least to me. The riff reminds me of hard rock, even light metal....but it's Rory Gallagher. So much soul and authenticity, and his band is incredible, too. Love it!
Lucky enough to have seen Rory Gallagher live in 1972. Truly one of the best and "must see" guitar players in the late 60's early 70's. From all the bands I saw I liked Jimi Hendrix the best -- followed by in no particular order, Duane Allman, Alvin Lee of Ten Years After, Rory Gallagher, Carlos Santana, Albert King, and Leslie West of Mountain. There were many many MANY others but those guys in particular will never be forgotten.
Best version ever!!!
Rory is, and will always be the G-Man. Ecellent. !!!!!!!!!!
Gallagher,Vaughn, and Moore had such a tone and ferocity to their playing:-)
Hard to beat that list of greatness. certainly legends!!
👌
@@davidvallone1476 Gary Moore is my fave musician of all time, wish I'd have got to see the other two, still miss going to see Gary in concert, it's not that I knew him personally, it's just his music was a massive part of my life for so many years, so when he went so did that part of me too.
Just great that the music they all leave behind can be still loved and discovered today, the concerts and memories stay with us too.
These guys though were just on another level, the whole band is here with Rory.
Love peace and unity in music.
😎🎧🎶🙌
I was 4 months old when Rory preformed this song, now I'm 30 years old, and my love for Rory Gallagher's craftsmanship will keep growing older and older. Long Live Rory Gallagher
Flanger and Octaver high etc, all right for me. He is so wonderful!
Rory will be rocking for ever and ever. Many many thanks from Greece.
+Αθανάσιος Τίλλης many thanks from germany!

guy in front raw having the time of his life i wish i was there rip rory :)
Ive known of Rory for about 2 years now and dont think a day has gone by since then that I have not listened to him and evertime I am in disbelief that it took so long for me to hear of such a great. As a bass player in very glad I discovered McAvoy at the same time. both are simply amazing at their craft and complemented each other so perfectly.
Katherine Scott Then move on to Free and get stoned by Andy Fraser and Paul Kossoff
Just wonderfull - the magic of film and video - Rory was special . Simple honest and truthfull to his music .
I first heard about Rory while I was in the Army in Germany. They used to play his music at the local GI clubs. He was unheard of in the States at that time. I was saddened to learn of his death years later.
Best Version of Bad Penny. RIPRORY
THE BEST BAD PENNY EVER
After all these years, first time I heard Rory use an effect ! Works well too.
Dude was amazing. Should have gotten more appreciation.
Rory..RIP. We are so many that miss you very much. This song is one of the best.
+Fire Zoul its the best!
Excellent guitariste, peut-être le meilleur ayant existé. Rien à voir avec la musique qu'on nous sort aujourd'hui. C'était mieux avant, il y avait des talents.
All the best musicians are irish!🇮🇪🇮🇪 Grew up in the same town as Rory! RIP
While Rory is a genius, Gerry on bass is a Beast.
