I think it is so easy to say someone is a great guitar player when they are on an electric, but when you are blown away by someone playing an acoustic, then you know you are watching a phenomenal talent.
Yes u can say acoustic playing with passion is great but when you see Rory and watch him closely on that electric guitar 🎸 now your talking SMOKING HOT
You are spot on. The acid test that shows a guitarists worth is no electric enhancer gizmos to hide behind. No backing band to catch you in their safety net if you fall. Just you a wooden box 6 strings and an audience to entertain
Errr, you're missing out on his skills on the mandolin, the harmonica and the saxophone... the man was a multi-talented genius. And as far as I'm concerned, his blues/rock voice is up there with the best, even though he just gets mentioned for his guitar, mostly.
I saw him play in Stuttgart Germany, in the Beethovens Liederhalle (where I also saw Frank Zappa and Paco De Lucia), a hall with immaculate acoustics. The crowd absolutely refused to let him leave - he did something like 9 encores and played for nearly 4 hours. By the end of the show, he had run out of songs, and was doing stuff like "La Bamba" and "Johnny B Goode" (as well as a killer version of Bob Dylan's "I Shall Be Released"). The local newspaper described it the next day as "a religious experience". Keep unearthing those hidden gems, folks - Loving the Channel
He did the same when he came to New Zealand. First concert I ever went too. It was like a party with Rory. He would keep going as long as you kept going and was so loud I couldn't hear anything for 4 hours after the concert. I saw him live another 2 times after that.
When you bought a ticket for a Rory gig you got 2 shows the encores were something else. After his full set he would come back on and start into something like sea cruise by Frankie Ford and then you would have at least an hour's worth of floor fillers like Johnny B Goode. He was a genuine easy going guy who would have the time of day for you if you met him if you met him outside the gig.
Rory has sold nearly 40 million albums. He's not as unknown as many think. There has been 4 or 5 live and previously unreleased albums of his in the past few years. Rory is the man. Do you know he played a mean harmonica and saxophone too. Such a uncompromising wonderful man.
@@SightAfterDark He plays sax on a few songs with his band Taste 66 to 71 and on several Rory albums. Yep, amazing is just the start. Played a mean electric sitar,mandolin and on and on. As mentioned they tried to recruit him to replace Clapton in Cream(twice). He wasn't into the fame aspect. If you delve into his life and learn who he really was he was very anti drug and did not drink himself to death. He did develop a drinking problem but it was the mega doses of acetaminophen he was prescribed to help with his fear of flying that ruined his liver. Allegedly the Dr's didn't know the affect the drug caused. His drummer from 71 to 73? Wilgar Campbell had the same fear of flying issue to the point he couldn't make short trips and couldn't continue in the band. He wasn't a drinker but became one and died young. Sorry,,,,sure you didn't need the sermon. P.S. Rory rarely even cussed. The old Sex,Drugs and Rock and Roll thing is well over played. Many were not into that lifestyle.
My buddies and I, back in 1973, went to the old San Bernardino Swing Auditorium to see our favorite band, Deep Purple. Some guy named Rory Gallagher was the opening act. Never heard of him. As we watched, we witnessed a real star, making his appearance in America, I believe for the first time. We were all mesmerized, as well as the rest of the audience. In fact, (and no disrespect to DP), Rory clearly stole the show. It was unavoidable. He was called out for 2 more encores. After the gig, we all became Rory fans. He was really special, and I don’t use that word often.
The Guitar Rory is using here is a 1932 resonator Made at the same time as Prohibition in America and designed to be used aby the Blues artists of the time The Song Too Much Alcohol is also from the Early Thirties
I saw Rory twice, I loved how he would insanely rock out then do an acoustic set then finish the show totally insane rocking out. He would rock your socks off then bring you down then knock you out of your boots. I saw Jimi on Jan. 1 1970 , I was 12. After I saw Rory in 1976 Hendrix dropped down to #2. As you can see I still listen to Rory, Not so with Jimi.
So happy to see more Rory on your channel! His acoustic playing was sublime. Worth seeing is his live Beat Club acoustic performance of "Just The Smile", one of his own compositions that is very different than the two songs you just reacted to. Rory was so incredibly diverse in the types of music he played. Would also suggest "Cradle Rock" for some raw rock n roll (although his live stuff is amazing, my favorite is the studio version of this one). Anyway, there's so much of Rory to explore. Keep on...
Rory was a kind,easy going and humble man. He also played a pretty mean saxophone and harmonica too. Check out Taste 68 to 71(Rory's first band). He remains the greatest Blues/Rock performer that ever was. Rory on!
This reminds me of what we have lost. Such a joy to listen to this acoustic set . These days performers would have a guitar tuned open strings ready to switch.Rory just tunes up effortlessly without making the audience feel awkward. In fact even tuning was entertaining. What a star just natural not flashy. I miss Rory a man of the people. One regret I have Is I never saw him live.😮
Tuned in from tubbercurry sligo ireland.thanks for all that guys.lovely statue in memory of Rory in his home town where he was born in Donegal.was playing up there couple week ago and loads of people stopping to get photos taken at live size image of Rory with his guitar in hand.rest his humble soul. Kieran lundy
I saw him in "Stadtpark Hamburg". It was raining like hell, but nobody in the audience left the place. After two hours he had finished his show and the audience called for encore. Then he played for another two hours. At the all people were soaking wet,but this was one of the greatest experiences in my life.
Rory. The real deal. end of discussion. As for Rory being able to capture and express the blues so well; you must understand that historically the Irish were the (insert "you know what" word) of Europe. peace - from an old Aussie. :D
Jimi was once asked by a journalist in London, 'what is it like to be considered the greatest guitar player in the world?'... Jimi simply replied, 'Ask Rory Gallagher' Is é an sársheinnteoir giotáir i gcónaí é Respect & Peace
the first album I bought was "On The Boards" by Taste when I was a 16 year old back in the early 1970s. Have loved everything by Rory ever since..............
These two songs of Rory's are some of the best picking I've heard in my 72 yrs. on earth. The guy was a wizard on acoustic. That Dobro with slide makes my heart joyful. It's like a magical exprience. The greatest I've ever heard on slide.
Saw Rory more than any other band or artist! Starting with Taste in 1969, then with his self titled band for about 18 years after that. If you haven’t reacted to Bullfrog Blues or to Shinkicker, you are still missing out on so much of this mans talent! Keep up the good work.
I had the privilege of meeting Rory in Belfast Northern Ireland before one of his Concerts we had a pint of the black stuff (Guinness ) he was a gentleman but Robinsons is the best pub in Belfast.
Hello from Dublin Ireland love your rory Videos finely people hear his genius check out a song called shadow play and then listen to taste rorys first blues band in the 60s much love to you both from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪❤️❤️❤️
people who want to argue that Rory is better than Hendrix or better than whatever...such a stupid argument When they re that good, you just listen and love it. Who is better is such a stupid thing.
Ireland, Scotland and England helped bring about the blues, jazz and other American pop music forms. The same structure found in old ballads can be found in many blues and early country songs.
Truly one of my favorite talents and I have listened to him for a few decades now. Rory never came to America, to my knowledge, because he was afraid of flying and he died far to young, I think in his early 50's but he did some great shows at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Suisse. His electric blues guitar was epic.
Actually Rory did around 23 American tours over the years, beginning with a tour with his first band Taste in 1969, along with Blind Faith and Delaney & Bonnie. Rush opened for him when they were first starting out in the early 70's, and Rory opened for them years later when they were huge. There's a good interview with Alex Lifeson on YT talking about the time they spent together. The fear of flying didn't kick in until the mid 80's after a couple of really bad flights in Norway in 1984. Rory toured America in 1985, but didn't make it back again until his final US tour in1991. There's footage around of his performance on the Don Kirschner show in 1974. Rory was in the US at the time of Woodstock, and could have performed there, but he chose to honour the shows he already had booked for those dates, instead.
some things i like to note on this one: he totally misses on the 2nd measure of pistol. it seemed like that put him in a mood of concentration, as messing up can do for musicians sometimes. he downtunes so fast it's jaw dropping. i think he does it in 7 seconds. there are 4 more songs from this RTE TV session on youtube. i don't need to convince anyone that they're phenomenal.
Kids u all are welcome to the 1 who every blues guitarist knew and who all respected was the first and finest player from a little town in Ireland the best and then Stevie Ray smoking licks at its best and mind u kids early 60 and 70 spread the word and all enjoy the best blues playing
@@SightAfterDark fair point, England, Scotland and Wales who would be the patron Saint from those countries? I wasn't trying to exclude players from anywhere
A unique talent. For years, my favorite acoustic slide song was Johnny Winter's solo version of "Dallas". Ry Cooder and Roy Rogers are good too. And for electric slide : Derek Trucks (with the Allman Bros. and his own band), and Sonny Landreth, who has a technique where he incorporates fretted notes behind the slide.
Excellent players indeed. Minor correction: Trucks didn't officially become an Allman Brothers member until 1999 (was with them off and on in 90's) but yeah he's up there with Winter, Cooder etc and of course this man Rory G!
@@ykmgeedee Sorry, I was having a brain fart. One of my favorite D.Trucks with the Allmans performances is the double DVD of "Live At The Beacon Theater" filmed in 2003 - especially "Ain't Wastin' Time No More".
Have you guys ever treated yourself to RIVERDANCE . I Have been a Rory fan since his Irish tour in the Early 70s . Riverbanks is pure Irish music and dance and it is Unbelievable . Thanks for playing Rory
Put Rory with the Godmother of Rock and Roll and you really have the best of the best . Sister Rosetta did things with the guitar nobody did at the time and was a major influence on all kinds of music.
On the Mike Douglas Show when Hendrix had become the toast of the town. Douglas asked Hendrix: “What’s it was like to be the best rock guitarist in the world?” Jimi then beautifully responded, “I don’t know, you’ll have to ask Rory Gallagher”.
somebody's being good to u 2......8). when someone can sit there with an acoustic and rock it out like that ya no ya got something! even if u never react to it the most amazing thing i've ever seen on an acoustic is Stevie Ray Vaughan doing Testify live MTV unplugged. mindblowing.
Dang homegirl that's how you got out of it he was ripping that two pieces and putting it back together and rearranging it just playing phenomenal fingerstyle picking slide guitar phrasing and Alternate tuning come on that's why you got I like the Little Hooker thing yeah there was some hooks in there like a thousand hookers haha just saying that songkick Aces and more than Spades fo sho
Great reaction, the looks on your faces said it all! Rory, as ever, in a class of his own. If you want to see a longer acoustic set, I highly recommend this Rockpalast 1976 full concert (again in a TV studio, watch him work the audience!) ua-cam.com/video/gQzOuvWApeA/v-deo.html
Jaysus people where do you think country blues music comes from....... It's not American it's Irish, African, Carribbean...... There's nothing American
Thanks so much for watching, we truly appreciate it! Yes every country’s culture has been influenced heavily or lightly throughout time by another’s or more that’s for sure. That being said many things are indeed American like Authentic Rock and Roll(not bits and pieces of it), UA-cam and lots more🥰.
This guy was a genius. Jimi Hendrix and Rory Gallagher are #1 and #2 in my Book. Too bad more people don't know about Rory. We miss you Brother.
Here’s to Rory and Jimi!
Same here. A friend turned me on to Rory 5 or 6 years ago. Such talent.
Funny Jimi was known to have Said Rory was number one
Jimi said that about everyone`s favorite guitarist....him and BB.
Srv #1

The talent is off the scale, just him and an acoustic guitar, such a full on going sound, crazy.
Rory loved to perform. It didn't matter how many people were there he gave it his all just the same.
Good for you spreading the word on this young man from Ireland 🇮🇪.
Keep up your good work !
Where he lived in Ireland was near a Military base that broadcasted American Forces Radio. Rory said he used to listen to all the time
He was born to play blues and rock music💚
This was an education and a pleasure. I think this is one of the best renditions of old blues that I've heard. Thanks Rory thanks SAD x
Couldn't have been better. I was hoping for this acoustic set. Rory lives in our hearts

It was a privilege to see him.
Wow....I was already typing he did a few more in this set and worth checking out..... Happy you guys found some acoustic Rory!
Rory played on the London Howling Wolf Sessions when the kids in the UK were deep into traditional blues , somewhere there are recordings.
Rory did not play on Wolf's album but played on Muddy's and Jerry Lee's.
Rory. The real deal.

As for Rory being able to capture and express the blues so well; you must understand that historically the Irish were the (insert "you know what" word) of Europe.

You need to visit his album , "Irish Tour 74 " his electric playing will blow your mind ....the album is totally live , acoustic and electric.

Seen the great man in 1972 when I was 18yrs old and have been an avid listener of his music ever since.
So a bloody hard song to play and he does it like nothing, also peak "Irish rocker hair"

Such a natural blues player amazing
Saw him live in Dublin in 1974 , God I'm old , blew my 15 year old head clean off.

Rory at his best.......with just an acoustic guitar.
Rory Gallagher is gold
I had the privilege of meeting Rory in Belfast Northern Ireland before one of his Concerts we had a pint of the black stuff (Guinness ) he was a gentleman but Robinsons is the best pub in Belfast.
saw him live (so long ago) he walked on to the stage with his guitar out of tune and did a ten min solo of tuning his guitar up

Jaysus people where do you think country blues music comes from....... It's not American it's Irish, African, Carribbean...... There's nothing American
Thanks so much for watching, we truly appreciate it!
Yes every country’s culture has been influenced heavily or lightly throughout time by another’s or more that’s for sure. That being said many things are indeed American like Authentic Rock and Roll(not bits and pieces of it), UA-cam and lots more🥰.
Absolutely Magic Rory is so good.❤️
