I agree completely, as for the best there ever was as it's been said & even by me, but it's a hard topic to have a "best there ever was or something like that because there have been so many great's, it would vary from genre of music for one, those who have been taken too soon to make any comparison, those who are not born yet, and the various other conditions that might in some ways, make a difference. He is definitely at the top of my all time guitar heroes, there have been others, way too many to name, if I started with one, I'd have a long list of others that fit right there as well, especially when they were in the 70's, we had ample supplies of great guitar players for sure. I really don't think there is a "the best ever to pick up a guitar" but I do think we should appreciate them for even the short time they are of this world sometimes, for the legendary players like Rory that they are & never let them be forgotten in our hearts in our head, I think Rory loved the audience maybe more than they loved to him, and if he never made a dime, he would've played for his fans free of charge if it ever came to be, that was where he found his calling, by making people happy when they listened to him play. His last performance's were proof that he loved it, anyone else would have regretfully had to call it quits, when he would have gone out on stage for his fans if he knew he would have been dead before he played the last song with the heart he had each and every time. I hope I worded that the way I wanted it to sound, Rory lives as long as I do & I'm sure so many others agree, it was a blessing to us all to have known of his amazing talent!

And sadly a few months after this concert Rory was called to the great gig in the sky....I think Rory should be made the new patron Saint of Ireland....

I wish someone would have cooked for him three square meals a day. It is a great regime to keep the liver healthy.

ThX 4 the tip, I translate it in french : Et une petite histoire à ce sujet : Bela et Rory ne s’étaient pas rencontrés avant cette rencontre. Bob Dylan était sur le projet, il avait déjà pensé à reprendre "I Could've had Religion" {real name of the song} de Rory du "Live in Europe" (1972). Comme une requête, Dylan a demandé à Rory de le jouer pour lui ce soir-là et il avait été espéré que Dylan pourrait venir.Rory gesticula sur la scène latérale pour faire un jam et en fait c’ést Bela qui marchait avec un banjo! Alors, pour trouver la bonne tonalité, Rory a commencé l’intro avec "Amazing Grace", il s'échauffe et obtient...

Good man yourself, I never knew that. Bella Fleck a savage player 😎 Mark Feltham did he play with 9 below zero?
