The only good thing about being 56 years old is that i was able to see Rory 11 times. He was a really hard working musician and toured the UK regularly and once told me he just loved being on stage. I have seen hundreds of bands in my life, Floyd, Stones etc none of them come close to Rory. The energy and sheer brilliance of the man could lift you for days. modest, unassuming and very sadly missed. \thank God for U tube
No matter how many times I view this, I remain astonished. Not only was Rory in complete command of the Strat, he was in complete command of his audience. Lawdy! His absence is keenly felt. Wish I had seen him live.
On UA-cam, you start seing US youngsters discovering Rory Gallagher and praising his style. I have even seen one of them saying that Rory's style is influenced by Joe Bonamassa or SRV. Ahah, that's the opposite, man!
Whether you were a bluesman, glam, punk, metalhead, or prog rocker... Everyone dug Rory!! Now these days he's all but forgotten! Well,...here's your fucking reminder! Of Ireland's reigning axeman!
not only a fantastic guitarist but a real down to earth guy, I met him once, he gave me and my freind a lift home in the tour bus after a gig at the colston hall in bristol in 1977, R.I.P rory, sadly missed
i too never got the chance to see him perform live. he, to me, was the world's greatest blues rock guitarist, there has been no one like him since..there is something about rory that makes u feel emotional when he plays that guitar, u feel like u r connected. thanks to yt, and the great folks who put up rory's songs and performances, i get to watch rory over n over again, never get tire of it. once a rory gallagher fan, always a rory gallager fan, loyal right till the end.
RoryAddict I saw Rory Gallagher first in Christchurch New Zealand 1975 He came on stage an just cranked tattooed Lady first up We all went crazy Great stuff
Saw Rory open for Nazareth and Deep Purple in Atlanta in the seventies. Guess who blew both headliners totally away? He and the drummer did a harmonica drum jam for fifteen minutes to thirty thousand people.
....with apologies to Roy Buchannon, Billy Gibbons, JDW, Duane, Jimi, M. Bloomfield, etc., etc...Rory was the best blues rock guitarist of all time. Charisma, soul, chops, songwriting..he was the best. I'm glad i had to chance to see him once ( mid 80's the Bayou Wash. DC ) before he left us.
Rory Gallagher only discovered him a month ago where the hell is he been hiding Rock and roll Hall of Fame for sure King of the fake endings never let you down!!
What a hellish energy, what e heavenly perfect play! I sit and cry that I will never experience anything similar in my life, it's real tragedy I will never hear live this brilliant Rorocaster sound and soul.
There are lots of guitar heroes out there, but few of them come across as natural and as credible as Rory does. This man has personality and a musical identity . This is true musician who writes and plays good stuff . There is something about these Irish guys because most of them really are great !
He makes everything look effortless.its a little silly to say but 1 of his songs seem to have 5 songs in them. his licks come out of nowhere and more than 1 thing happens at the same time.he sounds like 5 guitarist. thanx for this man
There's simply never been a better guitarist. The only ones who come close are the original Skynyrd guys, Allen Collins RIP. And both of them were so modest about their talent, big egos get in the way of ability. It's true, Rory is an addictive drug; like a best friend; direct contact through his amazing voice & guitar.
I was lucky enough to see Rory Gallagher in Germany in 1980 and Indianapolis in 1981 !! Rest in Peace Bro' cuz you rocked hard while you was alive !!!PEACE JIM
Again and again... I watch this and I am undone... Rory is simply unbelievable. There he goes, doin' that shit that only he can do. YIKES! I truly wish I had been there.
my junior year in high school......72/73? saw him at the LA Forum opening for Rod Stewart & the Faces (with Tetsu on bass). DESTROYED ROD STEWART. we were in shock......amazing show.
Robert Wright I just want to say thanks to you for the words that you wrote. You spoke the truth, you must have read my mind and may hundreds of thousands of other people who think the very same way as you do. Rory live a brilliant life playing his music to the people in his own way. In the history up humankind that was only Rory Gallagher, there will never be another Rory Gallagher, God only gave us one Rory and we are very grateful for that
Thanks for the responses. Its important to understand i am not talking about the music. Rory was the best musician i ever saw (eleven times). I am talking about the exitement that would begin on the morning of the gig, about his enthusiasm and energy and his closeness to the crowd, about his complete lack of pretence. these qualities are hard to find these days. BUT i have seen bands from asia who, like Rory seem to actually want to be on stage, Whatever your tastes it should be fun.
Close up and personal. That's the way to rock! No big screens, minimal lighting, just pure fucking rock and roll for the people. A lot of bands out there should watch this to see how it's done.
If there was a love button Bogbreath i'd be hammerin' it for your post,unfortunately not and most unfortunately corporate greed and scabby bastards a scalpers that serve it make sure we will never get to see the likes of this talent or venues ever again.We can live with our memories all the same
if i had to chose 1 album to take with me on an island, it would be one of Rory`s . he struck me since i heard "tattooed lady" for the first time. he just cant be replaced. no one has this authentic power -2:18 no one !!
Rory obviously loved his audience, his gigs were magical. I'd have paid my last penny to go to one of his concerts rather than visit Satriani or the likes of him for free. Unfortunately Rory is no longer among us, but his music is immortal.
His album "blue prints" ran away from my hands with an express train,when I was a student. I chased it at the terminus. I paid 2500Yen against buying price 1500yen. It is what a wonderful story!!
Rory Gallagher was my adviser/ my teacher/ I went to the school of Rory Gallagher at a very young ago/ i found it so interesting and learned so much that I never left, Thanks A Million Rory
I had bought the album, "Rory Gallagher, The Story So Far". Liked it alot!!! Then I saw Rory live in '79 at the Armadillo World Headquarters (Austin,Tx)!!! He was so fantastic, i went out and bought Top Priority the next day. Then I saw him at the Austin Opera House in '85 (May 25th i think?). That was one hell of a show. Crowd of about a 1000 cause he played on the small side of the venue. He did the chicken hop twice during one song and fell of the stage at both ends! Man, he never missed a lick! The roadies put him back up there and he kept playing. Jokingly motioning to Gerry to do it too. Gerry shook his head no, with a big grin, what a hell of a show. He played Cardi's in Houston the next night, and, from what i hear, there's a bootleg record made. I would just LOVE to get my hands on that!!!! I bought alot of his albums after that.. R.I.P. Rory Gallagher! You are SO missed! Dennis 56years ATX
my 2 cents. Rory, Jeff, Jimmy, Eric, Stevie, et al, all had their roots in real, deep, deep blues. Everything kinda starts from there and then goes wherever...especially if there's talent involved. Rory was incredible for the reason he could make his guitar "cry or sing", just like the song says...
lucky to have seen Rory many times when he played nyc. what a special real nice guy. Live he was a master of the guitar none better. Miss him RORY FOREVER
"Hellcat" is on "The Complete Rockpalast Colletion" which has 7 concerts on it from 1976-90.The first three concerts are on the "Rockpalast" DVD. Rory's music will never die!!
don't know what happened there I got cut off,I ment to say I saw him through the 70's but the best thing was he used to show up at the bridge house,canning town with Gerry McCovy & do a set just 2 feet in front of the crowd,fantastic days, had I have known the outcome I would have soaked it up more ,if thats possible because it ain't gonna happen again he was a one off,just thankfull I was there to feel it..RIP Rory & thanks. for the music
Rory Gallagher, what can he be described as?... A God?, quite possibly - Boss of the blues?, yes for sure! - Guitarist numero uno?, definitely had had a flair for it! - whatever our different views, he was/is certainly held-up amongst the highest of them all, be they Hendrix/Page/Blackmore & his memory will live on for eternity
And, another thing to think about for those of you who are in Europe or Japan: this encore is not part of the commercial Montreux DVD. Why? I don't know! It's Rory at his best before an audience. Absolutely fabulous.
@ Robert Wright.....Exactly! Had he been a selfish man, he could have stayed at home in Ireland. It hurts me to read derogatory comments regarding Rory dying from drink and pills, drugs, call it what you will. You can bet your life they'd have been the very people to complain had he NOT travelled, delighting audiences worldwide. It always helps to know both sides of a story. Nothing meant more to Rory than getting his music TO the people and I believe he gained as much pleasure from performing as we did from watching his exhilarating shows. I know I'll be eternally grateful he did travel. RIP Rory.
Who cares if he did die from excess?..., I was happier as an alcoholic I can assure you ! When I was pissed I didn't give a fuck about my past or maybe I did but was too drunk to remember what made me drink in the first place.
Linda Jones Correct Linda on every level Rory hated drugs in every form If you read Gery McAvoy is book Riding rough shod He mentions that they put towels under the door at hotels when they were smoking up
What a brilliant life Rory Gallager lived, Rocking out at full pelt, telling the world how he dealt with Shin Kickers, dealing with a bad dose of the Bullfrog Blues, coping with Tattoed Ladies, having to drive a Supped Up Ford,, coping with Double Vision after a wild time out on the town, Living out on the Western Plain with Billy The Kid, advising the Moon Child, Racing The Breeze, taking To Much Alcohol, dealing with the Wayward Child who would not be told, rocking out with Nadine then coming back To His Home Town to rest up for a few days before heading out on the road again, what a complete and full life this man lived
I saw Rory back in 76 and he opened for Aerosmith. Unlike most of the crowd I was there to see Rory. One of the most amazing concerts I every saw. He played a number of songs from Against the Grain. He completely blew Aerosmith off the stage. Most of the people there didn't know Rory and they never knew what hit 'em. Simply one of the best guitarist ever.
For the pazt 2 yrz , ive been listenin ta , rory gallagher , an, iz great band..wen a guitar player can finizh a song , and play with one hand wailin, while shakin the peoplez handz that he soley iz playin for..that guy izza bad ass..it doeznt get any better..rg and iz bamd kick fn ass..oh yeaahh
Hellcat ... hell yes! What molten madness - Rory is just endlessly amazing. A couple of weeks ago I watched a tribute video and got a good look at that butcher's block hole carved into his Strat ... been on one heck of a nice 2 week bender discovering how he crafted that.
@budway1942 I saw him first playing with "Taste" (a completely unknown band so far) in Heidelberg as opening act for John Mayall in the early seventies. He turned the "Stadthalle" upside down. After some encores Mayall started to play - and got yelled and booed off the stage! Mayall did something extraordinary and great: he called "The Taste" back to the stage and after some more songs Gallagher left the arena for Mayall again who started over as if nothing happened. CHAPEAU for both of them!
Not just live, but an encore, after a blinding performance! Basically at this point, Rory , the band, & the audience are havin' a party. Looks like a good time was had by all, wish I'd been there. :)

I'd kill to see him just once..I was only born 2 years before he died😔
Nice
This should be required viewing for anyone that wants to play Rock and Roll,Rory the best live guitarist that ever Rocked .! R.I.P. Strat King
Correct. The Strat king..
No matter how many times I view this, I remain astonished. Not only was Rory in complete command of the Strat, he was in complete command of his audience. Lawdy! His absence is keenly felt. Wish I had seen him live.
keef....He saved my life, once in my life stars shined & I saw him,albeit a short warm up for Doobie BROS.
If your top 10 doesn't have Rory in it, then your top 10 doesn't have anything!
virtually unknown in the US, what a shame, one of the greatest rock guitars ever
On UA-cam, you start seing US youngsters discovering Rory Gallagher and praising his style. I have even seen one of them saying that Rory's style is influenced by Joe Bonamassa or SRV. Ahah, that's the opposite, man!
Whether you were a bluesman, glam, punk, metalhead, or prog rocker...
Everyone dug Rory!!
Now these days he's all but forgotten!
Well,...here's your fucking reminder!
Of Ireland's reigning axeman!
The very Best Guitarist that ever was OR ever will be.
Fuckn right there he was complete too much alcohol sadly but that's part of the package
The one and only MR Rory Gallagher.And yes ,just a 3-piece power trio.What a sound.
not only a fantastic guitarist but a real down to earth guy, I met him once, he gave me and my freind a lift home in the tour bus after a gig at the colston hall in bristol in 1977, R.I.P rory, sadly missed
The best guitarist and showman ever to grace this land.
Mark Quinn 💯 agreed 💕💕
I can't argue with that. Genius of a Guitarist.
He was a genius of guitar.
Absolutely right
Totally agree Mark.
OMG! HE IS SO HAPPY AND FULL OF ENERGY !!! I REALLY ENJOY WATCHING THE VIDEO AGAIN AND AGAIN........

I saw Rory Gallagher first in Christchurch New Zealand
1975
He came on stage an just cranked tattooed Lady first up
We all went crazy

Saw Rory in stoke England in 73, again in 74, and Manchester England in 75. The roof ALWAYS came off.
Agreed mate simply the best.

Solo lo vi 1 vez, en una plaza d toros.

Richtig !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Never be another like him ever again pure humble genius many thanks Rory
Never see anyone like rory RIP
He makes everything look effortless.its a little silly to say but 1 of his songs seem to have 5 songs in them. his licks come out of nowhere and more than 1 thing happens at the same time.he sounds like 5 guitarist. thanx for this man
He is best ever! No one can be so close to the audience as he was, no one can feel guitar as he was. Listen and watch him and enjoy.
The energy!! The bassist and drummer are so with him!
Best concert in my life - Zagreb '85
Lucky chap
There's simply never been a better guitarist. The only ones who come close are the original Skynyrd guys, Allen Collins RIP. And both of them were so modest about their talent, big egos get in the way of ability. It's true, Rory is an addictive drug; like a best friend; direct contact through his amazing voice & guitar.
It is nice to see a man enjoying his work.
the greatest guitar player of all time !!!
He's in Heaven singing with all the other angels.
Oh. Rory is the very best. It's difficult to describe him, the words don't do him justice. We should all be at his feet, at his feet.
The man can entertain an audience ...
What a turn ...
I was lucky enough to see Rory Gallagher in Germany in 1980 and Indianapolis in 1981 !! Rest in Peace Bro' cuz you rocked hard while you was alive !!!PEACE JIM
Again and again... I watch this and I am undone... Rory is simply unbelievable.
There he goes, doin' that shit that only he can do.

Oh well. enjoy it. Superb.
Watching him closely - when doing his vocals - it seems like he does the guitarplaying sooo easy. Very classy.
my 2 cents. Rory, Jeff, Jimmy, Eric, Stevie, et al, all had their roots in real, deep, deep blues. Everything kinda starts from there and then goes wherever...especially if there's talent involved. Rory was incredible for the reason he could make his guitar "cry or sing", just like the song says...
lucky to have seen Rory many times when he played nyc. what a special real nice guy.
Live he was a master of the guitar none better. Miss him RORY FOREVER
Oh, Rory...please come back!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Me too 😁
The segue into Wayward Child is a thing of rare beauty.

Wayward Child frickin rocks!!
GOD'S GIFT TO MUSIC RORY GALLAGHER 4EVER!!!
One of the best Rory videos on UA-cam take me back to these days wish I was there what a gig
THAT was amazing.
What a brilliant life Rory Gallager lived, Rocking out at full pelt, telling the world how he dealt with Shin Kickers, dealing with a bad dose of the Bullfrog Blues, coping with Tattoed Ladies, having to drive a Supped Up Ford,, coping with Double Vision after a wild time out on the town, Living out on the Western Plain with Billy The Kid, advising the Moon Child, Racing The Breeze, taking To Much Alcohol, dealing with the Wayward Child who would not be told, rocking out with Nadine then coming back To His Home Town to rest up for a few days before heading out on the road again, what a complete and full life this man lived
Saw Rory three times live on stage !
i've never really been into Gallagher much, but from seeing this video I think that will change!
My God.....An Epic Performance....Speechless......🤩🤩🤩🤩
Like a Nascar driver, right on the edge. What excitment! Great vid.
I saw Rory back in 76 and he opened for Aerosmith. Unlike most of the crowd I was there to see Rory. One of the most amazing concerts I every saw. He played a number of songs from Against the Grain.

Wish I could of been there to Watch Rory along with you.
Jeez he was cooking that night!!
Can't say for sure who the best was, but Rory is certainly one of my favorites 👍
Love it. A one-off. Sadly missed
Still the best.
june 14 - Rory you will ALWAYS ABSOLUTELY BE THE BEST to me - I hope you have found the peace you never found here.
Both these traks can be found on the 1979 album : Top Priority. Hellcat is a bonus they've added to the cd
Rory parece tão feliz, e fazendo o povo feliz também!! Gênio!!!!!!!
Man o man what a fire perfomance, drumming with bones, bassing with tendons and Roaring Rory with all its got
Saw them in Belfast many years back. Great musicians, enjoying music. Gerry McAvoy is still the top man when it comes to bass.
Man!!! Rory makes all that jello shake! I could watch his videos all day long!!! What a Monstar!!!!
THIS HAS MADE MY DAY! 😁
Nunca pude verte en vivo, pero fuiste y eres un grande alli donde estes, que sigas derramando tu musica inolvidable.
Love this vid. Man, wish I'd been there. Never got to see him live...a true great, and a real nice guy too. R.I.P. K

Hellcat ... hell yes! What molten madness - Rory is just endlessly amazing. A couple of weeks ago I watched a tribute video and got a good look at that butcher's block hole carved into his Strat ... been on one heck of a nice 2 week bender discovering how he crafted that.
Saw this at 8:30 on the morning on waking and this out a huge smile on my dial and made me want to start drinking 😂
Sadly it's drinking that took Rory away from us. Sorry, but it's a sore subject for me because my dad died of liver failure last year
Rockin Rory
@budway1942 I saw him first playing with "Taste" (a completely unknown band so far) in Heidelberg as opening act for John Mayall in the early seventies. He turned the "Stadthalle" upside down. After some encores Mayall started to play - and got yelled and booed off the stage! Mayall did something extraordinary and great: he called "The Taste" back to the stage and after some more songs Gallagher left the arena for Mayall again who started over as if nothing happened.

Not just live, but an encore, after a blinding performance! Basically at this point, Rory , the band, & the audience are havin' a party. Looks like a good time was had by all, wish I'd been there. :)
Outstanding and supersonic. Wish I could of been there too.
VOLCANIC RORY ! "SOUL/S ON FIRE ". BLESS HIS SOUL.
Great stuff. Don't you just want to be there.
Talk is so cheap, can't just enjoy the music, the gift that is truly heaven sent. When will they learn??
