I enjoyed every second of that as much as you so clearly did 🤗 Always loved Rory (and Taste) and often get lost in his brilliance, both listening to albums and watching YT videos. He lived for performing live and it shows. Such a huge loss. Thank you for this, Alan - hope all is good with you ✌️
Hi Annie , I’m healthy and happy thank you 🙏🏻 and I’m looking back , that song absolutely sits in my collection of songs I want to play when I need and want to be reminded of pure music 😊😎👍
For me Rory is on a very short list of truly great guitar players, and always seemed to be a lovely man, modest and down to earth. Sad loss at such a young age.
This is a great song full of passion and feeling. There was a line of thinking back then that when the song was released that it was related to the break up of Taste. For The Last time was included in his first album release after Taste. The Taste split was acrimonious and it took many many years for the wounds to heal and for Rory to regain control of the Taste music.
Alan - I hear your sentiment of wanting a libation and chat when you listen to Rory! In the States, even in NY hard to find someone who knows, so I just try to gently preach the gospel of Ruairi when I'm in an appropriate moment or setting🎸🇮🇪 Thank you for this clip & these insights!
Never heard of him until seeing a doc on Irish music that would pop up every year on St. Patrick’s Day from VH1 about 20 years ago; I think they quoted Bono as saying Rory was his favorite guitarist. Incredible guy!! I think people may be put off by the old keyboard sound but “A Million Miles Away” is my favorite of his songs. Love his cover of Tony Joe White’s “As the Crow Flies”.
Thank you for choosing such excellent video quality. Rory all heart & soul. l don't care what people think if I'm in love forever with this angel man❤️
Really enjoy his guitar technique ... I've heard about this guy over the years and for some reason he wasn't as big over here across the pond as he was over there, .l. like his style and need to listen to more from this dude
Yeah, you gotta love RORY! I just picked up the new DELUXE 6-CD Reissue of his first, eponymous album. Magnificent! The Deluxe Edition of his 2nd record comes out in the fall, and you can bet that's an artifact I MUST own! 🤩 Thanks for giving Mr. Gallagher his much-deserved airplay, Alan! Great one!
My friend I got a band from your Chanel the other day , sat with my friend I showed him your channel and he was sat quietly and said .. them ! I said why .. he said you okay that to let your neighbours know you have it 😂👍 I will let you know .. let’s zoom next week ?
@@alan-reacts65 No need to be embarrassed Alan, there are so many great guitarists of the past and present. Gary Moore plays with so much soul and feeling it is mind-blowing. Loved the Rory video and your description of his playing. I find it crazy that he wasn't more well known?
@PresenceAwareness thank you , but I’m waking up at my normal 5am to get my coffee my notepad and it’s Gary Moore , and thank you for your kind words , it Helps me stay focused on just enjoying the music and sharing that 😊👍😎

Rory and Horslips were the greatest ever Irish musical exports.
musical legend
Rory was just a genius he had the ability to make the guitar literally sing.
It was almost as though he was duetting with the guitar.

He really was all heart , certainly from what I’ve seen , and now I’m reading about him , seems he was what he portrayed 😊👍

He really is special , just go enjoy it all my friend 😎👍
You'll love the rabbit hole that Rory's music will bring you down.

@@alan-reacts65 Love to talk Tuesday or Wednesday night? I'm back on days, 7am-3pm Friday-Tuesday.
@@thannaske5371 what time is that my side of the water ?
@@alan-reacts65 3pm would be midnight, your time.9pm would be 6 am. How about Tuesday night, 11 pm my time, 8 am Wednesday morning for you..?
@thannaske5371 that works , will send the zoom 👍😊
can you rate todays music to thid level? nope
I can’t argue against that point 👍😎
Rory, SRV, Hendrix, Gary Moore, The three greatest players of guitar without a doubt.
Actually I’m embarrassed to admit I don’t have any Gary Moore on the channel 🥹 well that’s getting rememidied pretty quickly 😎😊👍
