I'm with you there. Always had a love for his music and the person. Besides all his brilliant music and guitar talent, there is no other band or musician that I know of that has better song intro's. Is there a memorial weekend in Europe where bands play his music over a weekend? I've heard of this but coming from South Africa, it's not that publicised.
I am a proud Irish man ..because of my brothers an sisters from cork ...I was born and raised in Germany but my Mom was from Ireland ..Iam 60 years old by now and never bin there ..I think its time to go home ❤❤
Just this evening my mate and I were having a few beers here in Brisbane, Australia, wishing we had visited Ireland. We are both originally from London, England, but we've never been to Ireland. My mate's name is Mick Murphy...he really should visit Ireland.
I saw Rory and his band in a very small bar in a very small town of southern Wisconsin. He's the greatest then and now. He's a million miles away but alive and well on TH-cam. God bless him. Jimi Hendrix said Rory was the greatest guitar player alive. 🎉
Piece, as in piece of music... masterpiece, as in the greatest piece of music written by a certain artist... this SONG is a MASTERPIECE in every sense of both words.
One of the reasons my oldest son (38) is called Rory! When my late wife and I saw him aged 17 (one of probably 15 times) we said if we had a son we'd all him Rory.
A good friend of min have the same experience. He met rory on the street in Mainz (Germany) 1979. My friend was at every gig in Germany from Rory in that year. So Rory also tell him that he remember hin and invited im backstage for the concert at that evening
No problem with Chaka Khan, Rock n Roll is derived from African Americans in any case. She's a classic artist. There are plenty of others you could've used to make your point...........
I'm watching a genius that played straight from the heart ..This type of musicianship is rare..Forget tricks and speed and so-called power playing...What your looking at here can not be learned from a book or video ..this is true art ..R.I.P Rory
Non lo conoscevo, sono rimasta folgorata. Mi è arrivato tutto dritto al cuore, frequenza immediata, musica senza inganno che può scaturire solo da un uomo così autentico e puro, prima ancora che da un artista
If you go to any st Patrick’s day parade in America and ask the crowd if they know who Rory Gallagher is they’ll look at you like they are a million miles away.
I was lucky enough to see Rory twice in the 70s in Madrid, the memory is for a lifetime, now I am 71 and I have never seen the attraction that he exerts on people at concerts, it is simply magical, only Rory and It was an advance an exceptional guitarist, along with Peter Green they are my idols until the end
have the pleasure to see him in Athens in 1981 but the concert was stopped and an overnight war of fans with the police broke out.. I miss these days !
Most underrated artist of the rock era. Total mastery of the instrument, total commitment to the music. Nothing that guy can't do with a guitar. As good a guitarist as anybody who ever lived, and a great songwriter to boot.
Il jouait la musique qu'il aimait, pour lui, pour le public.. Il aimait ses fans et leur montrait, les recevait dans sa loge.. Il était simple, humble et discret.. A mille lieues du star system, il voulait tout sauf être une star.. Il est resté lui-même jusqu'à la fin.. Je l'aime aussi pour çà..❤️☘️
Crying. Sittin' and crying. Just sitting here remembering people I have known who have passed. And of course Rory was/ is a huge part of life for me. Even now, all these years later. Beautiful Rory. Bless.🌹My god
So much passion.....each member of this group.....is just so much into what they are playing......no big money contracts or bullshit corporate backdoor deals....just pure and sincere music played by great guys.....great musicians too.......!
Yes , Rory Gallagher like Levon Helm, were allways musics that love what they done, and feel passion by music. It was allways amazing to see and listen them playing live
A million miles away - Rory played it different - from gig to gig , from year to year, but always in his genuine way, simply true and convincing. This number is so amazing - can only be compared with the best rock songs in history!
I know the word underrated gets tossed around with almost any guitarist there is, but dam, Rory has never gotten the recognition he deserved. I mean even Hendrix was in awe of his playing.
Je me le repasse toujours en boucle, merci. Rory,c magnifique , vive Rory. On ne pas t'oublier. J'adore. Un guitariste de blues, le ch'tiiii moucheurs...
Woodstock happened when I was 12 years old and I got hooked on Rock at an early age. Having seen most of the GREATS over the decades I still have a very warm spot in my heart for Rory. I saw him in a small club in SF in '78. Surprising that a big star was still sort of unknown to so many people and playing in a club for about 150 people. He talked to us like old friends. One of the Greatest Guitarists I've EVER seen or heard. I still get a tear when I hear Shadow Play... God Bless Rory, he should never be forgotten.
I also used to see Rory in SF. in the 70s and early 80s. Saw him in concert many times at Winterland. We would also see him play at night clubs like the the Old Waldorf and the Stone. I had the privilege of talking to him after one of his night club shows. What a talent.
Visited his grave one week ago. And Phil's. Felt so humbled being there. I felt they we're definitely not a million miles away. Thanks guys for giving us this much x
R.I.P Rory, Rod and Lou , Only Gerry is alive.Sad but true, What a great music group they were . Rory was an axe man extraordinaire. I saw him ones live 1988 . It was awesome.
A friend of mine, now long since past, told me of a convesation he had once, with a very shy, unassuming guy, at a music venue that had left an indelable mark on him. The guy he chatted with that night? Rory Gallagher! Me, well, I shook the hand, that had shook the hand of!
The guitar in this song is terrifying ... it's so expressive that if you listen too closely you will hear pieces of a broken heart falling down and shattering on the floor
My mother is Florence Gallagher, born in Ireland,1925, Rory's was a distant cousin...Rory is EASILY, to my ear, the most under rated unknown rock/blues artist EVER, along with Roy Buchanan...But big deal was my point...If they don't get it they are idiots, as Blake said...Thanks for kind and accurate words re this special man's art, Mark...
I’m 57 and have first recently discovered Rory Gallagher, while CD’s cost nothing anymore. I bought 5 with Rory. I was humbled over his musical originality, sincerity and skill. Now I don’t mind throwing serious money after his vinyls too! He deserved much more credit than he got! Hail, hail, rock n’ blues!
So very lucky not to only seen him many times both with Taste and this band. But so fortunate to have spent time with him at the Buxton blues and Rock concerts. Love reading everyone's comments. I call this raw blues. He played from his heart and soul.
Saw Rory extradinare Guitarist at park West Chicago two Shows any- How between gigs Rory was outside talking to A beautiful Blonde ,and Rory saw me so Salute with The Number 1 On my fingers he Saluted me back with Peace sign with his Fingers it was Awesome ,plus both Shows!!!

I have tears in my eyes when I see how talented Rory was. In German we say “Einzigartig, Wunderschön, Unerreicht. Never forgotten🎸❤
Rührt mich auch immer wieder zu Tränen, wenn ich sehe, wie sehr Rory seine Musik gelebt hat.💔 Rory und Robin Trower, mehr geht nicht.

It took me 68 years to visit Ireland. My wife and I went last year. If you go you won't regret it.
You should go I am about your age and finally went back too wales after 40 years of being gone best thing I ever did
Gerry McAvoys got to be on somebody’s list of Top Bassists Ever!!

Rory stopped me in Royal Avenue, Belfast and shook hands with me... He said he'd seen me at The Ulster Hall at one of his concerts... WOW !
A once commented in reponse to a guy call Terry Martin who had an unbelievable with Rory Gallagher.
Wow :) Incredible ! It was a good day for you ! And then a good memory :)

One of the greatest and most underrated musicians I’ve ever listened to. His music will never fade. more respect for RORY GALLAGHER
underrated ??
Rory gallagher is my all time favourite guitar player 🇮🇪
This is most underrated guitarist. He's the absolute KING of guitar.🎸
Ich bin 64 und Rory war mein treuester Begleiter als ich 13 Jahre alt war und ist es bis heute geblieben ❤
Wah macht Rory schon so lange Musik das nee50 Jahre
No Rory in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2023. No Johnny Winter either. Instead legendary rockers like Chaka Kahn...
Rory and Johnny have a better place, in our hearts and ears.
No problem with Chaka Khan, Rock n Roll is derived from African Americans in any case. She's a classic artist. There are plenty of others you could've used to make your point...........
Una gran farsa. Absolutamente.
Ich vermisse Ihn jeden Tag und sehne mich nach einem Wiedersehen.
Ich auch das ist nur in einem Traum moeglich
Ja unerreichbar sein Spiel.
I'm watching a genius that played straight from the heart ..This type of musicianship is rare..Forget tricks and speed and so-called power playing...What your looking at here can not be learned from a book or video ..this is true art ..R.I.P Rory
It must be something like an alien bond between Irish And Greek people... Rory is one of us here... And Will always be.. R. I. P. RORY...
Absolutely
It's a feeling , its hard to explain to someone who just listens. When you play and really feel it . It comes out.
Rory was a great piece of Rock !
The greatest
Einer der größten Songs in der Rockmusik.
The best Band that Rory had ,with Lou Gerry and Rod.
Not forgotten the amazing Gerry.
Great song! Great musicians! This brings back great memories.
Non lo conoscevo, sono rimasta folgorata. Mi è arrivato tutto dritto al cuore, frequenza immediata, musica senza inganno che può scaturire solo da un uomo così autentico e puro, prima ancora che da un artista
Rory once said that he wanted to be a guitarist since the age of 6. What a destiny!
I was fortunate to have seen Rory..back in 74, at a nightclub in Milwaukee..up front next to the stage..one of my best concert experiences!
Dit is een van beste gitaar risten ever.
If you go to any st Patrick’s day parade in America and ask the crowd if they know who Rory Gallagher is they’ll look at you like they are a million miles away.
This track exemplifies Rory's prowess as power ballad master and the bass and drumming is tremendous as to lift the hair on thy neck.
One of the greatest guitar players and songwriters of all time
Never played the same song twice
just great
I was lucky enough to see Rory twice in the 70s in Madrid, the memory is for a lifetime, now I am 71 and I have never seen the attraction that he exerts on people at concerts, it is simply magical, only Rory and It was an advance an exceptional guitarist, along with Peter Green they are my idols until the end
Ive seen in Cascais,Portugal,pavilhao dramatico de Cascais,the biggest venue in those years for concerts in Portugal.
have the pleasure to see him in Athens in 1981 but the concert was stopped and an overnight war of fans with the police broke out.. I miss these days !
I have never appreciated rory Gallagher enough. Now that I am older I appreciate him more.
Most underrated artist of the rock era. Total mastery of the instrument, total commitment to the music. Nothing that guy can't do with a guitar.
As good a guitarist as anybody who ever lived, and a great songwriter to boot.
"Most underrated" most overused words in music video comments!
Not by me, Jay, but I get what you mean. To me he is a God of guitar. Have been a fan from the start and will ever be so.
Hendrix thought he was the greatest guitarist
@@pattyp3429 I am Sorry Patty, but Hendrix thought that Terry Kath from Chicago was the best player on the planet. Lovely dog by the way.
@@mennobults6464Correct.
Le guitariste le plus sous-estimé de l histoire de l humanité.
Il jouait la musique qu'il aimait, pour lui, pour le public.. Il aimait ses fans et leur montrait, les recevait dans sa loge.. Il était simple, humble et discret.. A mille lieues du star system, il voulait tout sauf être une star.. Il est resté lui-même jusqu'à la fin.. Je l'aime aussi pour çà..❤️☘️
une certaine epoque ou le sincere jouait encore !
on ne peut que l'aimer !
He was just a million miles ahead, and now makes you fly a million miles high...✨
I understand this song so well…Thanks Rory!!!
This man was pure gold
What a guy
You know it's going to be an experience when that bass kicks in
Crying. Sittin' and crying. Just sitting here remembering people I have known who have passed. And of course Rory was/ is a huge part of life for me. Even now, all these years later. Beautiful Rory. Bless.🌹My god
Rory doesn't just play, he opens a vein and bleeds.
And then drinks a buttload of booze!
So much passion.....each member of this group.....is just so much into what they are playing......no big money contracts or bullshit corporate backdoor deals....just pure and sincere music played by great guys.....great musicians too.......!
Exactly, fantastic stuff.
Ok grazie

Yes , Rory Gallagher like Levon Helm, were allways musics that love what they done, and feel passion by music. It was allways amazing to see and listen them playing live
Nunca me había dado a la tarea de contemplar a este virtuoso, es simplemente magistral!!👍
HE WAS GREAT!
A million miles away - Rory played it different - from gig to gig , from year to year, but always in his genuine way, simply true and convincing. This number is so amazing - can only be compared with the best rock songs in history!
So true👍💯🎶
Seigneur! Sa guitare fait partie de ses mains, ses mains font parti de son cœur, son cœur fait parti de la musique. L'Harmonie.......
This song touches the soul of everyone, who can feel music.
I have seen him in holland once.one of the best concerts l have ever seen.😊😊😊
I know the word underrated gets tossed around with almost any guitarist there is, but dam, Rory has never gotten the recognition he deserved. I mean even Hendrix was in awe of his playing.
Having just lost my mom, this song says it all. Rory is and always will be legendary XO
Mit Deiner Musik habe ich die letzte Nacht überlebt, kein Suizid, DANKE
