Popenyco, in a barren desert of Reaction posers and wannabees, you stand out as a genuine oasis. What you have just seen and heard is a rare example of when man and guitar become as one. The reason Rory Gallagher is unknown to the "general" public is simply, that he didn't care about stardom or becoming a celebrity. All he cared about was his music and his fans. It's called integrity! Keep up the good work, and feed your head! Now, pass me the ligther!🎸🎸🎸🎸

Being from Cork, I was raised on Rory, he is a hero back home. It's incredible to me, the level of control and skill he had, because not only is everything perfect with his guitar playing, but it's so easy and effortless for him, that he can go for a walkabout, interact with the crowd, do whatever he wants. He never drops a note, his playing is perfectly clear, he was amazing.

Rory was a fabulous guitarist. I bought the Taste albums as soon as they came out. Also saw him at the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970. Although you would hardly believe it watching this video, in real life Rory was a very quiet person and in fact became a bit of a recluse. He was a close friend of Gary Moore, both being Irish. Rory from the South and Gary from the North. When they first started out, because they had virtually no money, each would leave their guitar on stage for the other one in case they broke a string! Could you please do another Gary Moore reaction? I have included the link below to Empty Rooms Live in Stockholm: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hpmUlNN1uaquqp8.html Love to see what you think. Cheers and stay safe. Regards from the UK. 😊😎🎸

Rory is an Irishman and one hell of a guitarist. He passed away in the 90s I believe. The great Jimi Hendrix said of Rory, "He's the best guitarist nobody has ever heard of." That's quite a compliment from a guy considered by most, to be the greatest guitar player ever. Rory would rather play to a couple hundred people in a small venue, the to 50,000 screaming idiots, that are shouting louder then his music. He's in my top 3 all time greatest guitarists. #1. Jimi Hendrix. He changed the world of Rock. Nobody had ever heard someone make a guitar do what Jimi did. #2. Johnny Winter. The smoothest Blues man on guitar I've heard. #3. Rory Gallagher, Rough, raw, gritty, he punishes his guitar and leaves it all out on the stage in every performance.

POPE as soon as I saw your head nodding I knew you were genuinely interested. What you saw in that video wasn’t just a one off performance . Rory and his band played at that level in every gig, bearing in mind he very often played 2 to 3 hours with no set list. In this video he had Gerry McAvoy on bass. and Brendan O’Neill on drums. Both his band mates also legendary in their own right. I’m a long way over 60 and took an interest in the man and his music many years ago and he has a massive back catalogue of material. Many thanks for putting this on here and you genuinely impressed me because you let it run without talking over it.

It doesn’t matter what you choose from Rory because every track is a great track. Last of the independents and bad penny are 2 really great choices especially the live extended versions.

This kind of purity must come back if the younger generations want to carry on the genre of 'Rock' music. It has to strip itself back to 3, 4. or 5 hot people on a stage just FEELING their way through, letting moments stay when they fit, and letting songs end with dignity if the feel isn't right. No IEMs, no technician in your ear cueing you in through a song with "1, 2, 3..." No set end to a song. Rock is meant to be raw, in the moment, ready to catch the mood of the musicians and the audience in each moment, not some 'perfect', micro-managed, logistical masterpiece of engineered synchronicity and time, every concert a virtual carbon copy of the one the night before. If Rock is to survive, it has to get rid of a lot of 'professionals' and insist on a Band controlling their own instinctive journey through a concert.

We have a festival every year in his honor in his hometown of Ballyshannon where his statue is, but in Paris they even named a street after him. Europe loved him, it just didn't translate to massive success in the states where all his favorite artists were from, which saddened him. Tattooed Lady is beautiful.

I have a video anthology of him, from when he was just a wet behind the ears kid, thrilled to be playing in a bar, and could barely string a couple blues licks together, to a grown man, in complete control of not only his guitar, but every member of the audience as well.
