I have tears in my eyes when I see how talented Rory was. In German we say “Einzigartig, Wunderschön, Unerreicht. Never forgotten🎸❤

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 KZfaq. God bless him. Jimi Hendrix said Rory was the greatest guitar player alive. 🎉

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 !

This isn't a song - it is a masterpiece

This is most underrated guitarist. He's the absolute KING of guitar.🎸

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.

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

One of the greatest and most underrated musicians I’ve ever listened to. His music will never fade. more respect for RORY GALLAGHER

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 ❤❤

Gerry McAvoys got to be on somebody’s list of Top Bassists Ever!!

Gallagher and Blackmore are two of my favorite players.

God I forgot how much I love this song!

This man was pure gold

Rory once said that he wanted to be a guitarist since the age of 6. What a destiny!

One of the greatest guitar players and songwriters of all time

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

This is the best version of this tune so full of emotion, tears in my eyes! Anyone else?

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!

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.

RIP Rory Gallagher (March 2, 1948 - June 14, 1995), aged 47 You will always be remembered as a legend.

He was so far ahead of everyone!!!!!!

Ich vermisse Ihn jeden Tag und sehne mich nach einem Wiedersehen.

Ich bin 64 und Rory war mein treuester Begleiter als ich 13 Jahre alt war und ist es bis heute geblieben ❤

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

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.......!

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!

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..❤️☘️

He was just a million miles ahead, and now makes you fly a million miles high...✨

The best Band that Rory had ,with Lou Gerry and Rod.

Einer der größten Songs in der Rockmusik.

This song touches the soul of everyone, who can feel music.

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.

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

Rory doesn't just play, he opens a vein and bleeds.

Not only is Rory on fire here but so are the whole band

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.

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.

RIP proud to have him as part of our Irish musical heritage

Seigneur! Sa guitare fait partie de ses mains, ses mains font parti de son cœur, son cœur fait parti de la musique. L'Harmonie.......

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

What a song! What a man! One of the gratest guitarrists of all time!

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.

So so many great guitarist but for me Rory is up there with any of them.

Having just lost my mom, this song says it all. Rory is and always will be legendary XO

I've been playing guitar all my life and have herd all the greats... how the hell did I miss this guy!!!

I know what you mean strummer!! I'm 40 and I'm following Rory since I was 13!! My whole life is RORY and I'm proud of that!!

Awesome. I saw him in a rock concert at Rockingham Speedway. A very much smaller version of Woodstock. It was so good. So hot. We got so high. Saw alot of other greats, like Black Oak Arkansas, Alice Cooper, James Gang, alot more. Fuzzy memories for sure.

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!!!

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.

See how Rory controlled his tone at this time. Amazing performance from the greatest irish rock n roll son.

If you ever get stuck in a rut with your playing and need new inspiration listen to this guy

One off the fucking best. Its not about who is the best player, its about who gives you the most feeling

Saw Rory many times in Ireland through the years..... Absolute genius on the guitar.... No one could touch his rifts and feel for guitar playing... He is much missed here in the Emerald Isle.... Miss you Rory..

For me the most brilliant blues player of all times. All this crap about techniques and stuff. Rory gives me the shivers every single time. Pure genious. thanks RG and thanks Casahy for uploading.

He left us too soon....respect!!!!..best of the best....great loss!!!!!!!

C'est ça Rory et son groupe! De la musique, avec des musiciens; ben oui, et chacun à fond dans son domaine. Un domaine d'excellence. Merci à eux.

So many good memories Rory . Nobody before or after you, could make a guitar talk like you. Breaks my heart to think you are gone.

For me this is Rory,s masterpiece, this song makes me think like if i am distant (million miles away) and how humans are small and not capable of changing so many things. Rory 4ever

You know it's going to be an experience when that bass kicks in

He was a phenomenal pure natural. Still listening today.🥰✌😍✌🥰

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...

When You’re not here,Beatrice, I’m a million miles away. ❤️❤️

I understand this song so well…Thanks Rory!!!

GREECE LOVE RORY...

I´ve seen him 4 times in Germany and I´ve learned to feel the music with my heart and soul. I visited about 200 concerts with all the great combos, but Rory´s were the best.

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...

You can see from the outset how immersed Rory is in the music. I could watch, and listen to him, forever. Saw him live in '74 and will never forget the electricity.

Right you are it's masterpiece and Rory is Extradinare!!!!!

I have never appreciated rory Gallagher enough. Now that I am older I appreciate him more.

He's in my top 5, as one of the best guitarist ever around.

Le guitariste le plus sous-estimé de l histoire de l humanité.

Lou Martin's solo really makes this song. Gives me goose bumps.

Why is that that I always cry when I listen to Rory? ... Because it is the true blues and he is a true man.

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

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.

Band is tight and Rory brings tears of joy! Never forgotten!

I's hard to describe the genius of this artist. Special mention too to Gerry, Rod & Lou..

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!

IN the 70ies wie had three main guitar heros here in Germany: Hendrix- Blackmore and Mr. Gallagher. He got a lot of prominent airplay in our country. We loved him! The four piece band was much more versatile than the trio format. Fantastic drummer.

Открыл для себя Рори 3 недели назад... я в шоке! не могу наслушаться, ТАЛАНТИЩЕ!!! шедевры. Почему раньше его не слышал? Мне 58 лет.... DEEP PURPLE , Nazareth, Pink Floyd и др. наслышан. Слушаю рок с 14 лет.

One of the greatest irish , enjoy all the chocolate that surrounds me, yes I'm a million miles away. Why did you have to die so young Master

a genius who died to soon, Rory, one of the best ever, You never will be forgotten...

Saw the great Rory XmasNewYear 1972 concert National Stadium. True, courteous, modest gentleman; scholarly. No "star" nonsense.

My mother is Irish Kathleen Muldowny, and she says you can't go wrong with Rory! I agree and she's 84

Uniquely Rory, it's my favourite!

HE WAS GREAT!

Bei dem Konzert stand fest, Rory trennte sich von Lou Martin und Rod ´de Ath. Die beste Besetzung die Rory Gallagher je hatte. RIP all members

There will only ever be one Rory Gallagher ! Live. No one could rock like this guy !

such passion. such fire.. they dont make em like him no mo

THE ONE AND ONLY !!! ABSOLUTE GUITARIST AND HUMAN BEING.

The whole band is awesome. Rory was ahead of the class.

Rory, he may be millions of miles away now but he'll always be in the middle of the hearts of the guitarists he's influenced. RIP Rory

I'm a guitarist but shout out to the other musicians in his band, they're brilliant.

I had the privilege to see him 4 times in the Ulster hall Belfast. He played with so much feeling and intensity. Just pure magic to see him play live. This and the live version of souped up Ford my 2 favourites. From 2 sides of his playing. One with so much soul and feeling an the other with so much power and intensity. Amazing musician and person.

There are so many really fantastic guitarplayer, but Rory will be always the Godfather of guitar. A million miles away but always in our hearts. We will never forget you and thank you for the best and most emotional concerts ever. I´ve seen dp, lz, rs, pf and so many others famous and fantastic combos, but no one could reach the intensity of your pure music and emotions.

I have a lot of guitar idols but Rory is in my soul

One of greatest song and performance of Rock music! Rory was at his best ❤😊!

Greatest ever blues guitarist. Every concert an absolute belter. Gone way to early.

My gawd, he is incredible. They’re all amazing. I love this song so much ⚡️

Alot of players play the blues , in the style of this, the style of that , it's about the passion you bring forth from your voice, and guitar, how you can drag the band along with you , give the audience smiles and tears at the same time , a touch of something you just can't put your finger on but you know it's deep and spooky. .this was Rory Gallagher RIP
