@@Old-Skull. Thank you for watching commenting and subscribing, there's many more Rory videos on this channel, links usually pop up to them at the very end of every video
I saw him twice this same year, 1972, both times in Croydon , London..one venue was The Greyhound Inn, Croydon. Tiny place and we were about 6 ft away from him. Incredible performance. He gave 200 % on every gig. Two yrs later I saw him again in London and got to speak to him afterwards. VERY polite, congenial and extrembly humble guy who never used bad language nor had an ego. He seemed the type who never spoke badly about anyone, didn't waste his time doing so....VERY rare in music! I would go as far as saying he was the nicest person ever in rock music. I miss his unique personality.
If ever there was a venue that suited Rory to a tee, it was the legendary Marquee. It was my go to venue of choice between 1968 to 1979 and I honestly can't remember how many times I saw Taste & The Rory Gallagher Band play there - Great memories of a wonderful era in live music! Cheers that man!! 👍
I can't imagine having a venue like that available. I saw Rory only once in about 1974 or 75 in an auditorium concert. I was about 21 years old. Fantastic.
As a youngster in 1992 I was obsessed with the Jimi Hendrix Experience. Rory would have been the next logical leap. Never got to hear him. Glad at 46 to get a glimpse of this talent. Thank you
@ScottishTeeVee Great news. Can't believe I missed Rory Gallagher when getting into Hendrix and Zeppelin etc when growing up. He's easily as good as Hendrix.
Well they sent you to heaven, they called you back again, but the songs won't ever fade. And even so you may never know just how high you set the grade. No more city skylines. No more shows to do. No more smiling faces dancing like a wave in front of you, I'll see you each day I play this song..They sent you to heaven I bet you fought to stay, but all good souls need peace sometime..RG..rip
wow-saw him at Preston in April 1972 on (presumably) this tour-I was 15 and it was the first proper guitar hero rock concert I attended.I had been playing for about 18 months and a mate said we should go and see him.I remember the venue was only about half full and we were close to the stage.Completely blew me away-"In my town" was just blazing and seemed to go on forever.He gave me a guitar string at the end-kept it for decades but somehow lost it.Brilliant memories-still gets a regular spot on my playlists.
Thank you so much for this incredible glimpse at this maestro , I saw him for the 1st time around a year later at the Rainbow in London , brilliant. Eventually got to see him at the legendary Marquee in '83 which was rockin' . He always delivered 🎸🎸🎸🎸
Absolutely stunning post.This was in '' Live in Europe '' tour and one of my all time favorites albuns on that days.Great memories.Thank you so much for this.God bless you.
This gig is one of several recorded that eventually became the 'Live In Europe' LP. These tracks didn't make the album. Having video is insane, thanks so much for posting.
Thanks for this - there’s nobody like Rory, gritty honest deep un-fabricated genuine blues rocker - when he plays and sings it’s REAL. A fabulous upload 🇮🇪
I have been a big fan of Rory Gallagher for about 45 years (I discovered him when he played live at Chorus one Sunday morning, on the French TV, maybe in 1979...). I managed to pass my passion to Pierre, my second kid, who is an absolute fan of rock'n'roll from the 70s. RIP Rory
Early in his post-Taste career, but so mature. Maximum emotion in every note whether conventional fingering or slide, and his singing and harmonica playing were in perfect synch with his guitar. Genius.
Hard core blues, bottle-neck guitar like no-one else, simultaneous harmonica, vocals emulating his guitar, acoustic guitar, mandolin... the man was a genius. All these daft "Top 20 Guitar Heroes Ever" videos just miss the point, Because the wannabe pundits have only ever listened to what's in the charts. Rory was and always will be the best.
I have this performance on video. I wish there was more of him on film. You know,this was hilarious, I recall the time in 'The Melody Maker', the music paper, famous musicians of that time answered questions about their style and how they learnt music and somebody wrote in asking Rory Gallagher " What scales do you use? Do you read or study scales? Do you use mixolydian or phrygian modes? " And Rory answered so politely "' I'm sorry , you've lost me here. I wish I could help you but I don't know any scales or read at all. I just PLAY spontaneously". But Rory did also play some pretty complex jazz saxophone for quite awhile (with Taste) and was highly influenced by Ornette Coleman and Eric Dolphy. He told me this in person when I met him briefly.
What a talent. Rory literally lived his music like a nomadic blues monk. Totally dedicated to his craft, even turning down playing with the Rolling Stones. His lack of fame compared to his talent may seem tragic, but ultimately what he wanted … to remain true to the blues and free to express it his own way.
To Steve Sings Things When did the Rolling Stones ask him to join? When Brian Jones died, and they got Mick Taylor? It would have been amazing anyway if he had simply done a concert with them - I'd love to have heard Rory and Keith play together
Superb version of Coulda had religion via our Ruraì! I’d say better than European Tour Album! Wilgur Campbell a brilliant drummer as well. Up there with Bonham and the rest as well. Great concert captured! Our finest! Sadly missed 🇮🇪👍☘️
Μαεστρος,μεγαλη μουσικη πρωσοπικοτητα,μεγαλος ανθρωπος. Οχι στο αλκοολ,οχι στα ναρκωτικα,ναι στην παγκοσμια γλωσσα της μουσικης απο εναν εργατη του μουσικου πλανητη
Like many musicians who PLAY and SING at the same time, Rory's singing often wasn't as good live, as on a record. I'd assumed that was because it was a bit much to concentrate on BOTH singing, AND playing , at the same time. HOWEVER, here his singing really is spot on! So I imagine, that in some venues artistes can't HEAR as clearly what they are singing AND playing. Here it's perfect!

Wilgur was also a brilliant drummer. Up there with the best. The best trio version Ruraì had
Rory is the GOAT

Wow so lucky ❤️

No that would have been Ulster Hall, Belfast. During the troubles.
True, my first gig I ever saw, he changed the direction of my life after a superb performance there, 1976. What a night.
At the Ulster Hall
I envy you guys. You are so fortunate to have gotten to see the man himself.
great post man , this guy was the best guitar player from 70's and more...the guitar man!!
The Best ever
This a gift , Rory put a secret , in every song , You felt it like He mean't It ! R.I.P. to a talent like no other !
My Beautiful Rory 💖🥰💖
The picture of him by the castle omg looking sweet!!!!!

Uau.... Meu queixo sempre cai quando ouço Rory. Arrasador!
Unusually clear well recorded vocals on this recording.It should always have been like this
Ahhhhh the tone
I'm glad you enjoyed this
The year I met Rory and I believe the world does too. Year of the Live In Europe album, to this day my favorite and which I keep in perfect condition.
Rory Gallagher is The Guitarist of the Gods

I think Rory sits at the top of the Irish music tree… and that tree is tall 🏴✌️👍
He had everything - even looked like a rock star, a bit like Jimmy Page

💥💥💥💥💥
the real clapton
Do we all wonder if brian may was in the audience? I have very large piloerections watching this 😅
Irish Hero🍀💪
El mejor guitarrista blanco y punto ,Clapton no le llega a las suelas,pero claro era inglés y Rory irlandés
That's blues Mr Clapp 😂
sounds like mccartney, plays like hendrix, not bad
Hendrix thought Rory the best guitarist. around. He was right.
