  • Rory Gallagher - For The Last Time
    From his first solo album, 1971
    Love this track. And yes, the guitar solo does eventually end.
    LYRICS:-
    You've done me wrong,
    For the last time,
    You've sung your song,
    Now I'm going to sing mine,
    Out loud, so loud,
    Like the roaring sea.
    You've played around,
    For the last time,
    You've shown your claws,
    Now I'm going to show mine,
    Watch out, I'll be about,
    In the night.
    You ran around,
    Since the very first day,
    You've had your moment,
    Now I'm gonna have my play,
    So long, I'll be gone,
    In the night.
    You put me down,
    For the very last time,
    I hit the floor,
    But I got up on the count of nine,
    Goodbye, don't cry,
    When I'm gone.

    I believe he was par Jimi Hendrix too. This man could play literally anything. Electric, acoustic,uke and many other instruments. If modern blues rock are here today it's because of this legend. Till date he remains one of the extremely talented guitarist to walk on this planet. Sadly people dont recognize his contributions. Rory all the way. Love from India. Hope to visit Dublin some day to pay him my tributes. RIP.

      He was from Hendrix's generation. The public schools were good in those days... music was on the curriculum and kids grew up actually interacting and COMMUNICATING with one another...

      @@josicmiroslav4796 he may have said that, but its doubtful. Depending on who you ask, he said that about rory, clapton, Billy gibbons, etc. But there's no evidence it ever happened. He wouldn't have been far wrong though. As much as I love rory Gallagher though, I still think jimi had the edge over him and the rest. Or at least he did it first.

    My grandson (25) came in today while I was watching one of the full Montreaux shows. First words out of his mouth were "Damn, that dude is tearing it up!!" He then sat down and watched right along with me - and he's a full blown underground hip-hop guy, not much into blues or classic rock.
    So fuck the 157 haters this video has, Rory is still reaching a new audience through this wonderful medium we have here.

      I saw him play in a little club, years ago. At one point I remember in the middle of a solo, he took off his guitar, set it on a ledge at the side of the stage, feeding back, took a swig of whiskey, then dipped his fingers in the glass and splashed the sign of the cross on his axe, before putting it back on and finishing the solo. Memories!

How I'm just discovering Rory, an absolute legend, is beyond me. First blues song I heard was Fame by David Bowie. If that's even Blues, idk. This will be my music of choice now until the day I day. Never knew he was influence for many great bands like Led Zeppelin, I think, not exactly sure. Either way, it's time to go for an afternoon cruise with this music blasting 😎🤞

My very dear friend Jimmie( who I called Jimmie the Greek) who came from beautiful Cyprus passed away a few weeks ago, I had not seen Jimmie for over 20 years ago until he came to visit his family in this part of the world and call around to my house almost 2 years ago.

    Knew him from his Taste days working colleges and speakeasy clubs. Awesome enough to listen to a workaholic with just a minivan and tatty second hand equipment, which he set up and dismantled himself.
    His progresssion in the 70's and 80's allowed me to sèe him play again in town halls, stadia and at music festivals. Fabulous guitarist. Good songwriter. Pure entertainer.
    He kept his independence from the mainstream music moguls. This prevented him making the bigtime and he had no guardian angel to keep him off the bottle.
    The George Best of the rock fraternity. Absolutely brilliant, likeable and genuine.

      That's such a negative view of alcoholism. It is a disease that people will struggle with their entire life. Also, genetics highly influence susceptibility to alcoholism, so Rory very well could have been predestined to struggle with it. Just because he may have failed to get the help he needed doesn't mean you should blame him for his death.

    • @erwinderdoofe
      @erwinderdoofe 7 років тому

      My dad is a strong alcoholic. This led to me never touching a drop because I realized the risk early enough. I agree with your statement and apologize if my comment came out rude, but I'm serious with my statement. I can't feel any empathy for someone who died of alcoholism. Even in the case of Mr.Gallagher, who made so much music to enjoy.
