Saw Rory 3 times,twice in Belfast, and at the Hammersmith Odeon on his last tour.Was at the gig with 2 mates one who was a guitarist. Anyway, during Rory's solo on Tattooed Lady his guitar strap broke,and Rory carried on playing like nothing had happened. My mate looked in awe turned to me and said, "You don't realise how hard that is to do,hold and play a solo with a broken strap"!! Have seen alot of bands in my 60yrs,all the blues, rock,jazz,fusion, folk,etc so called legends, but honestly haven't seen no one but no one better live.And one of the nicest most humble guys you could meet.RIP Rory,you continue to give great music to us all☘

You should have been at Reading when Rory opened with Bullfrog, the Thames had previously flooded Kings Meadows (water meadows) and it was chucking it down, so we were ankle deep in mud, and he got us stamping in it. He was best live and always played for the audience. That tele is one he used for slide, and it is in standard tuning. That band was just so tight, did you notice how they all came back in on the beat after the drum solo.

It's always great to see a first time Rory reaction. Rory was a natural, a self-taught multi-instrumentalist: electric/acoustic guitar, mandolin, harmonica, saxophone, was an outstanding songwriter, and unique vocalist. While you may be hearing influences in this song, Rory had a very distinctive sound which embraced his own interpretation of blues, rock, folk, jazz. His live performances were legendary and he was as loyal to his fans as they are to him. There was a raw passion and intensity to his playing that grabbed my soul when I saw him live in '78 and I've not seen anything like it before or since. Anyway, hope you continue on a Rory journey, it's all amazing stuff.

Good to see Rory getting some love. He's so unbelievably under appreciated, a guitar players guitarist. Literally anyone that knew him would tell you the same thing, he was impeccably polite, almost painfully shy and extremely self effacing... Put him onstage with a good band and a couple of spotlights and it was a different story. One of few guitarists where everything just flows out of his heart and soul and there's no calculation to his playing.

Rory Gallagher (pronoiunced Galla-her) was heavily influenced by the old blues players (Leadbelly, Son House, Muddy Waters and older blues) and the other bands you mentioned were influenced by the same sources, hence the similar sounds. Rory is considered one of the top slide players and I would encourage you to check out "I Could've Had Religion" or "Who's That Coming" for some great searing slide. He mostly used the Tele for slide and played his beat up Strat for his straight guitar work. He was also a master acoustic player. Check out "Out On the Western Plain" for a listen to him on his Martin. Rory is sorely missed as his talent was massive. Please check out more of this legendary Irish guitarist.

My first ever live gig was seeing Rory in Cork City Hall Christmas1974 which became part of the iconic Irish Tour ‘74 album.

For Irish people of my generation and especially those from Cork, Rory has a special place in our hearts.

Hear, Hear, @John Magee. I'm from Dublin, and the first proper gig I ever went to was Rory at the National Stadium, an old boxing venue on the South Circular Road, in 1976. I was fourteen. I was completely blown away! Rory always played with such absolute commitment, - like his life depended on it. I agree, - for those of us of that pre-U2 generation, Rory (and Thin Lizzy) were IT for us. Have you ever read, seen or heard ANYONE who has a bad word to say about Rory? Always a humble man, no airs or graces about him, and always friendly and welcoming to his fans. Superb musician, a great songwriter, great frontman and performer. God bless, Rory. You are loved and missed.

@@karlfarren to answer your question Karl, no I’ve never heard anyone utter or write a bad word about Rory. He was a man of integrity, in his music and his life. A true Artist in every respect. A brilliant technician, but it wasn’t about technique, it was about the live experience. As you recalled Karl, the first time hearing Rory live was as unforgettable for you as it was for me. I was also 14, and my first gig was City Hall in Cork, 1974. In subsequent years I heard Rory live in different countries, but one that stands out was the Capital Centre in Washington in 1982. Rory supported Rush. The crowd were there to hear Rush but Rory brought the house down. An audience, who mostly had never heard of Rory Gallagher, wouldn’t let him leave the stage! Rory lies at rest in St. Oliver’s Cemetry in Ballincollig, Co. Cork just a few metres from my parents’ grave. Whenever I get home to Cork and visit St. Oliver’s, there are always new flowers, souvenirs and messages on Rory’s grave. These are from people who visit from across the world. We Gallagher fans loved the music and the man. RIP Rory🎸

All these cats were influenced by the black blues artsts that came before them.. They were students of the blues, which what made them so great. They got it. LOVE Rory !! You should also check the roots 1) Muddy Waters - Mannish Boy 2) John Lee Hooker - Boom Boom Boom For starters

First learned of Rory in 1980 on Armed Forces TV in Italy. Saw him in the mid to late 80’s and on the Fresh Evidence Tour, all in Boston. Still have the Fresh Evidence tshirt.

Imo The Live in Europe version is the best version of BfB. Rod the drummer was in a car accident, lost an eye, suffered brain damage and died a number of years later, Lou the pianist died of cancer about 10 years ago, Gerry the bassist has his own band Band of Friends. Currently there's a great Irish guitarist who is obviously influenced by Rory, Dom Martin, check out 12 Gauge kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sKl9oMmCu8vInXk.html

@Edward Thompson. Back in the late 1990's bassist Gerry McAvoy also played with Nine Below Zero, fronted by Dennis Greaves. Stay safe and well

Well, I love an old version at Hammersmith Odeon London, maybe because I was there. This concert was at BBC Auditorium, Sheperd Bush, ticket for free, haha

Rory was the real thing and never compromised. Brian May eulogizes him and used to talk to him before Brian May was famous. Rory would not play token encores. If the crowd wanted more he was known to play at least another 30 minutes. He sometimes was so close to the crowd that they could touch him and he never objected. There is a statue of him in his home town - sadly missed. The Stones toyed with the idea of getting him in the band. Not to make a direct comparison but he was the U.K.'s Johnny Winter regarding style and virtuosity. Despite some mainstream obscurity he always played to a full house. I saw him live in the 70's in Newcastle upon Tyne - the place was packed.

Alex Lifeson absolutely rates Rory as an amazing guitarist and excellent vocalist. You can find the interview on KZfaq.

Never heard of Rory Gallagher!?! Now I know why country guys play country music. Never had an FM "radio" growing up.

When you live in the mountains we had three radios stations - AM news, county music and oldies.

I have subscribed as you’re playing Rory Gallagher. He had the Celtic riffs, plus the blues and rock and importantly played it to the extreme.

Gerry MC Avoy and Rod Diath excuse the spelling, what an amazing band complimenting the great Rory such a hard act to play with but all were really on top of their game and true greats themselves on drums and bass. They be certainly gone down as the cream of musicians since and were playing with Rory at his peak but their great talent would be been wasted with commercial stuff. Gerry MC Avoy was great in Nine below Zero too and they were a great live band who would blow the roof off of the venue live.
