Drummer reacts to "Bullfrog Blues" (Live) by Rory Gallagher

[@timhannan4551]

Thanks for highlighting this version...most reaction videos use the Old Grey Whistle version but this is even better

[@bobbycameron3592]

Irish tour 74 album. Walk on Hot Coals. Never heard anything like this on guitar. No Wah Wah pedal. No wammy bar just incredible use of volume control and harmonics. Quite simply out of this world.

[@jhngregor]

Rory broke a string towards the end of the song and still killed the finish! Wow!

[@daveyjones6465]

This one is fire 🔥

[@richardmaguire9536]

He was such a humble man but at the same time the ultimate show man. He made you feel we were all his mates. I'm glad it got you like that. He was special.

[@heinztania9393]

Rory era o cara! Minha droga!

[@markoliver630]

Rory is my favorite musician. I saw him 6 times and loved each one. One of a kind. R.I.P.

[@whaleoilbeefhooked62]

I have a few albums by Rory after discovering him in 1980 during my wild life gigging as a drummer,a great guitarist vastly underrated,wild music for wild times and what a great backing band.

[@johncollier9280]

I saw Rory Gallagher open for Jethro Tull in 1976. Also on the bill...Robin Trower. A great concert.

[@Bill-kj5xw]

I've seen him in London was one of the best ever

[@randyteta9170]

I want to put my Rory Fender Tee shirt to listen to this one, one of the best guitarists

[@normanseaman6397]

I think the old gray whistle test version is even better, close camera work of the solos

[@annereidy7981]

That was Rod de'Ath on drums.

[@MrWishud]

Rory live in the 70's was always THE best gig. Love the man. Rod D'eath was the drummer btw.

[@damonhines8187]

Probably longtime Rory keyboardist Lou Martin. Y'know what comes to mind whenever I think Rory: "Did you ever? ×?" 'Bullfrog Blues'. 🐸 Pure 🔥

[@donholl]

The concerts they played in '74 that made up the album (and this documentary film footage) were important, from a cultural perspective. Those were dire times in N. Ireland - the "Troubles" between British troops and the IRA were boiling - and those shows gave his fans what was, for many, a brief moment to forget about them. He's revered by many of his country's people - for several reasons.

[@gkitteringham]

That was from the Irish Tour 74 album/video, not the Live in Europe album. The band was Rory (obviously), Gerry McEvoy on bass, Rod de'Ath on drums, and Lou Martin on keyboards.

[@Hartlor_Tayley]

Rory was one of the greats

[@KeithMcbride-fy3hy]

Loved Taste l loved the solo stuff and one of the nicest guys I ever met

[@richeaton5752]

Rod de'Ath- Drums Lou Martin- Keys

[@mattneil4211]

Glad you took the risk to play Rory. He was absolutely one of the best. Thanks.

[@lindaulloa4786]

Saw him at the Philadelphia Spectrum in the 70's. Great show!

[@johndawson6975]

Rory is IT'''', that guitar gave all it had...

[@ritagryphon222]

Great great guitarist...and drummer....

[@cletushouse906]

Never be another like him. Just the best.

[@missblondie2393]

I LOVE Rory. The joy on his face while playing always makes me smile The whole band was firing on all Cylinders Incredible reaction to the incredible Rory

[@PaulScherdell]

Better than a double espresso.

[@Coquinagirl]

What a time it was at that concert! It was fun to watch Lee react to the drumming. 😄 “I become the music.” That’s neat… We see that. 👌🏼🔥 Thank you, Lee and Ceecee!

[@roryrom6058]

This clip is from Tony Palmer's documentary on Rory during the Irish Tour '74, though it didn't make it onto the double album. Essential cuts from the album are "Walk on Hot Coals" and "Tattoo'd Lady".

[@jogischulz2576]

Rory forever🎸 so glad that I was in two of his amazing concerts in the mid 70s🎸

[@mikeross14]

"Shin-Kicker!" Live Just as good! powerful tunes,Stellar guitarist!

[@L33Reacts]

That was the first song of his I did!

[@dougieyou]

"the real deal stuff"...lol You said it perfectly this is how Rock & Roll is suppose to be....AWESOME... Rory is so underrated and deserves a lot more air time....

[@L33Reacts]

lol he really is the realest of deals. Pure rock n roll. LOVE IT

[@jamesoneill7362]

If you want another Rory classic..try Shadow play at the Montreux festival.

[@elisabethaxelsson4736]

Woww so great love it

[@Irish780]

Its a real pity you didn't watch this song on the old grey whistle test so much better

[@realbser1956]

That was just stupid good. Thanks CCR!

[@L33Reacts]

STUPID good indeed

[@arrow5599]

weird video . good song

[@bobbycameron3592]

Rod De'ath on drums not Wilgar Campbell with Lou Martin on keys. Not the Live in Europe album but still amazing. Saw Rory twice in Scotland in Glasgow and Edinburgh. Only twice because I moved to South Africa. My guitar hero.

[@howardgott4946]

If you’re not moving to this….check your pulse.

If there are any anoraks on here, guys check out the orignal by William Harris, amazing blues orignal ✌️👍

[@stevetreloar3129]

The best guitarist you've never heard of...!

[@julief7090]

And Rolling Stone said that Rory had mediocre musicians backing him up...they obviously never went to a live show. Had the great experience of seeing him 3x live...Lou Martin on keyboard. There's another version from the Old Grey Whistle Test floating around KZbin which looks like the Muppets play rock. :) Also, go look for the Band of Friends from Ballyshannon' Rory Tribute Festival--McAvoy is still killing it on bass, and their guitarist is playing one of the Rory special editions

[@richeaton5752]

👍 (50 year anniversary last year) Time keeps on ticking... Going through a box of old ticket stubs not long ago. I was blessed. My first rock concert: May 19, 1973 (lol yeah, I'm old, but still above the dirt...) East Tennessee State University Rory Gallagher ZZ Top $4 It was about two months before Tres Hombres came out. (Dusty Hill's 24th birthday, I came to find out on his passing) It was Festival Seating and I managed to get about 15 feet from mic center. Rory Gallagher was pure fire right out of the gate, and his band was phenomenal. (particularly Lou Martin on his electric piano) Rory was amazing to see play and I think that he had as much fun as anyone. Then, Billy Gibbons and the boys came out. Back when they were the most badass blues rock band that ever was. Straw hats, jeans, no beards (but Frank. lol), and BG in a white tshirt w/ pack of Marlboros rolled up in the sleeve(lol). Needless to say, Rory and Billy made a big impression on a 16 yr old. Blues rock, slide guitar nut ever since. RIP Rory, Rod, Lou, & Dusty. Thank You! Keep Rockin' Billy, Frank, & Gerry Openers...

[@fenderchamp8241]

Gerry MacAvoy? I think on bass. Tremendous, really holds the bottom end.

[@jimbanda]

Yup. Gerry is still rocking.

[@SnoopySnoops1]

Wow! so good to watch, so good to hear. Thanks, Ceecee :)

[@ShiverHinge]

Check out his Calling Card album. He was hard driving, but had a rich musical tonality and inventive energetic style. Another one taken from us too soon. I guess they needed more musicians in Heaven...

[@arizrich]

Pure energy!

[@kweile4339]

Great energy in this track! Never heard it before, thanks!

[@corawheeler9355]

That was on fire! Amazing live rock and roll!!

[@johnthursfield3056]

I saw Rory 4 times, he played for much longer than was usual in the 70's and then did 4 encores. Less keen on his albums but live he was sensational.

[@jamesoneill7362]

True…his studio albums could not replicate his live shows which were absolutely phenomenal!

[@SeaMark782]

Wow, I just listened to Bull Frog Blues by Canned Heat yesterday, coincidence? Mama and Papa and sister got them, too! And don't forget to boogie.

[@dscotthoward7467]

David Bromberg does a nice version too.

[@arrow5599]

from a documentray forget the name of it

[@johnmagee810]

Lou Martin on Keyboard; Rod De ‘Ath on drums. Both like Rory sadly deceased. Together with Gerry McEvoy on bass simply the greatest electric blues band who ever walked on a stage. RIP All.

[@jamespaivapaiva4460]

Feeling froggy? Then jump son, jump!🐸😁✌&❤

[@sooty951]

Best version is one live in Paris but it's been deleted-he goes into the audience & they play air guitar with him

[@elliotwright8996]

That's a great one also I love the old greywhistle test one

[@sharondavid-melly1498]

Bet that fan never washed his jacket again! New version for me, not a favorite, but love the extra footage. Thanks ! Rory & Dylan admired one another. ❤️❤️❤️❤️💋

[@Dreyno]

My favourite is the one in France with the Gretsch Corvette. Climbing the amps. Epic performance.

not as good as the version from the old grey whistle test
