I saw one of his last shows in the States in Hermosa Beach California. As I was walking into the club so was Rory and I almost bumped in to him. People were crowding him. When we were side by side, I had a Herco Heavy pick that I have always used since beginning to play. It was because of him that I play with a Herco. Anyway, I asked him to trade picks and he said yes (a tradition with guitarists) And handed him mine. He did a double take and asked what's the use and laughed handing me his. I told him this one was from him and had mojo. A treasure to me. As he stepped away he said, "this is the one I'm using tonight". MY PICK!!!
Wow! What a tremendous experience! Thanks for sharing. Bet you'll never let Rory's pick out of your lucky hands. When you play are you playing for Rory? Happy St. Patrick's Day 2021 from Mississippi.
@@waywardchild4678 Thanks for the message. St. Paddy's day is one of the few times I play with his pick. I'll raise a Guinness to him and since you are from Mississippi, it will start with Pistol Slapper Blues. Slainte.
Great story, thanks for sharing! I saw Rory multiple times in the mid-70s, always a consummate musician and entertainer. Hope that pick gives you many more St. Paddy's Day memories. 🖖😚🎶🎸☘🌺💝
That quote at the beginning of the video says something I love about Rory..."Don't get crushed there...watch your back." I am in my 60's and just heard of him in the last year but, man, this guy was special. You just feel the joy that he has to give when he is playing...like he wants to share a gift with you. I wish I could have been friends with him. You are missed...thanks for what you gave...
The wonderful Rory Gallagher…..he married his guitar and remained faithful through thick and thin…. a passion and devotion to his art…wish he remained with us longer…but let's never forget and thank goodness for TH-cam!
True that there's only one other guy I know that has a guitar looks similar to that kind of and it's Stevie Ray Vaughan where it's kind of scuffed up or whatever cut from the same mold I think
Couldn't have said it better myself. Thank you for elevating rory and giving him the credit he so rightly deserves. There are millions of good guitarists and a lot of greats but there's only one goat. The man himself. Ladies and gentlemen I give you rory Gallagher. Best damn guitarist ever. In my humble opinion
more than married to him old fender , pffffffff .... when he playing , he have high energy to share to audience , his soul , his pick tone , his iconic style just wearing flanel shirt, blue jeans, denim jacket .... Rory so inspirating globe over the world ✌️🤘👌😎🌹, ☕☕ ? 😊
Man...That Strat is having the life squeezed out of it in the best possible way!!!...Simply incredible. The tone, the talent and the explosive fury...I'm in awe..
Hy rorry I love you and I miss you I am your sister I live in Germany heilbronn nice to meet you we love your voice and your music and your guitar playing ❤
Oh my. This is Blues at its finest. Rory was way ahead of his time. I am so glad youtube allows us to see these concerts. Alan, Thank you so much for sharing this Gem. Man I wish I would been at this concert. He loved playing Belfast. Man I listen to this every night! R.I.P Rory. Your video's are amazing.
Outstanding does no justice here, as a descriptive adjective, to what Rory did that day. A day shouldn't go by without somebody posting praise here to this performance. WOW !!!! This fella had the blues.
That was just brilliant. I’m getting on in years, had a busy day at work, just sitting having a beer and played that vid. It doesn’t get any better. I’m definitely going to Ireland next year to join in with the Rory festival. God bless him.
This is a master class in musical dynamics. The whole song is a superbly crafted narrative that Rory spells out with each phrase. Despite being simply a slow moving standard blues number, Rory creates a whole series of individual elements in the song such that you never get bored with it. I love the section with the lyrics that start at 2:19, "I would marry you baby". Really listen. He drops the volume of the chord at that point right down so quiet, then the lyric, then that exquisite guitar line as he animates the impression formed by the lyric line and expressed in that guitar line followed by an equally delicate and precise follow up. It is a priceless piece of guitar brilliance. And how he weaves heavy full on hard rock guitar lines in this narrative at the same time is a marvel in and of itself. No wonder I love this guitar player so much. RIP Rory. You had so much more to offer.
Rory Gallagher was absolutely the greatest high energy blues guitar ever. Total control over that Strat. No guitarist ever was better. That is why he was so revered by the Stones, Clapton and Beck. He was the major influence for Brian May of Queen.
Simply amazing..fantastic....Rory played the blues in a very intimate and creative way. His sound was clean and crisp..but powerful... he was doing this on his beat up Fender when no one else was doing anything similar since Jimmy Hendrix left us. I saw him live in 1976 and it still amazes me 40 years later. One of my favorite artists ever...Saudades !!
He did 3 nights mid seventies in Belfast when most other Artists shunned our lovely city, and I was at them all....as he left the europa hotel we asked him to play ‘a million miles away’ and he obliged, great memories....Gerry Mcavoy on fine form too
Maestro gentleman and guitarist extraordinaire. Was at this gig and the energy and craft of the man was mindblowing. Gaelic genius!You are sorely missed but greatly respected, mesmerising ☘
He'll never be replaced. Won't be another Rory. It's that simple. Sad but that's the truth. He was one of a kind. Valuable and rare. It always leaves behind the unfinished pages of life and music. RIP Brother. Everyone will always miss you.
BLUE JEAN JACKET OR FLANNEL SHIRT, HE ALWAYS ROLLED UP THOSE SLEEVES WHEN HE GOT A LITTLE WARM! THEN, LOOK OUT! ALAN, THANK YOU SIR FOR THIS GREAT VID! (NOT YELLING, I USE CAPS FOR POOR EYESITE)
Watching this I start to cry it's so beautiful and he plays it with all the emotion and feeling that he has in his beautiful heart and soul. I just love this man everything about him he was a wonderful kind gentle respectful humble giving caring I can go on and on man. Who could ask for a better man than this I hope to see him soon I hope to be with him in heaven he was born to do this and he knew always he always knew! And some of that shows in this tremendous performance thank you Rory I love you forever XO
For some reason Rory reminds me of Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam. Anyone else see a comparison? In looks only of course. Rory is so talented. I’m 50 y.o. and I can’t believe I just found out about Rory Gallagher about 1-2 weeks ago. Crazy! I do remember Alex Lifeson of Rush mentioning Rory as someone who influenced his style of guitar playing with Rush. Unfortunately it stopped there because I never investigated what Rory was all about and why Alex Lifeson mentioned him as an influence. I don’t even know what triggered me to look into and investigate the guitar playing of Rory Gallagher a couple of weeks ago but damn I’m so glad I did and it has expanded my interest and knowledge of what’s out there in the world of electronic guitar musicians and their music.
very well said Ronnie amongst his many jaw dropping performances this one is right at the peak.. I did not have the good fortune to be at this show, but no one who was could ever forget this, He was a oncer.
The one and only Rory Gallagher. Legendary bluesman. Master of that '61 Strat. Deep blues to your soul is where Rory lives. Love his vocal/guitar harmony duets. Gerry MacAvoy is a huge part of Rory's band. 20 years his bassman. There is no finer guitarist/performer than Rory Gallagher and I know he is trading 8s with the legends in blues heaven. My jam buddy list....Jeff Healey, Jesse Ed Davis, SRV, Jimi, Magic Sam and all the seminal bluesman on Chess and Sun Records. God bless you Rory. RIP
I love great performers. Elvis - Jackson- AC/DC - stones - Tina turner - …. I never thought I would be 39 and only discovering Rory Gallagher who grew up in cork only a few miles from where I grew up , could actually challenge any of them - if Hendrix said he was the best guitar player in the world then …… enough said .
Rory ALWAYS made a point of playing in Belfast, even though he was from the republic. A man who was not just a guitar genius but an incredible human being. Just listen to his music. Just listen and enjoy.
This song on Irish tour 74 is the one that made me want to play guitar. I have been drumming since I was 4 and picked up guitar around 13. My hands are destroyed from an accident and arthritis but i can still play slide. Thanks Rory for all you did.
Maybe someone has got better technique, speed or something like that - but Rory's feeling and inner light for the Blues and Blues Rock is not of this world! We'll keep your flame!
I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY HE WAS NEVER BIG IN USA AS I LOVED HIM! MAYBE SO MUCH "COMMERCIAL SONGS" FROM ZEPPELIN AND OTHERS BUT, I WAS ALWAYS FOLLOWING HIM AS I SAW HIM LIVE AT ROCKINGHAM, NC PEACH FESTIVAL IN 8/72! HE WAS RAW AND VICIOUS ON THAT STRAT! RIP GREAT ONE!
@@danosullivan7239 I mean, there are incredible players, each one of them a force on his own, but that thing Rory had, the technique, the astounding feel, the knowledge, the passion for his craft, his honesty, his modesty, the outstanding overall playing (acoustic, slide, delta, pre war blues, electric blues, blues rock, acid rock, hard rock, folk songs, irish heritage... HE WAS HIS OWN LEAGUE. I miss the guy so much, and play his songs or think of him almost on a daily basis.
Damn it..! I just can't explain with words right now how much I love this guy! >O osfidhaosfihaosifhaosifhasfasfafaf!!!! *Punching the air multiple times* Rory Gallagher will live forever!!
There's music, and then there's Rory - one in a million, no make that a billion...totally irreplaceable. Oh for a magic wand, but they (sadly) only occur in Fairy Tales. Thank you so much for posting this series of videos.
When Dick Cavett asked Hendrix (on his talk show late 69) " How does it feel to be the world's greatest guitarist?" Jimi replied simply(in his signature humble way) "I don't know You'd have to ask Rory Gallagher that!
Thanks doonbegrosie for this, I was at this gig in '84. I have the concert on an old betamax video but no working videoplayer anymore! Words are inadequate to describe Rory, but he is loved and greatly missed.
Rory always gave a little bit more to his Belfast fans, he cut his blues teeth in the early days doing the club's and pubs ...Born in Ballyshannon... Made in Belfast.
Brilliant! Rory was one of the few performers who came to Belast in the1970s and 80s. I saw himm 11 or 12 times - every show a winner. Also thanks to other bands who came - Thin Lizzy, AC/DC (with Bon Scott) in 1979, Van Morrison and others. One of the best shows was Kid Creole and the Coconuts!!! True.
I wonder who will ever come close to rory and his strat . I am still wondering years later. All the other guitarist today are still wondering how he played like that. And how his band members played better than any other band simply because rory and his band were the best .
Same here. You just keep coming back to both of them. Pure therapy for modern times. Saw Peter Green 3 times live but sadly missed out on Rory. Part of my life. I try to play simplified versions of their songs on a bashed up old miniature Spanish guitar, much to the amusement of my kids - but the grandchildren love it😀

There's no words I can say about Rory Gallagher as he was the best guitar player I have ever seen
L'idole de ma jeunesse....de loin le meilleur guitariste au monde , même Jimmy Hendrix le reconnaissait ,trop méconnu....

Rory is at his best here! He also paired so well with Gerry McAvoy. That dude is so enthusiastic with the bass.
Gallagher and Hendrix: Best guitarists of the world. I love the music of Taste and Rory Gallagher Band
man, Peter Green too
I 100% agree!
I'd put Rory ahead of Hendrix..imho.

Both in New Zealand
