How did I not know about this legend?! Rory Gallagher "Shadow Play" - Guitarist REACTION + ANALYSIS

[@Celt1964]

That beat up strat just sold in a UK auction for £700,000 and is being donated to the Irish State. Rory was the best guitarist ever.

[@tomoleary7935]

JULIO :- Sit Back - Watch - Learn ( A LOT ) ....and STOP interupting ....... just ENJOY PURE, RAW TALENT.....

[@foghornleghorn8651]

Millions of us consider Rory Gallagher the greatest guitarist of all time!!

[@JamesBrown-ob9mh]

Im one of those millions

[@JimmyRJump]

Saw Gallagher on several ocassions and was somehow able to sit with him, have a beer and a talk everytime (Jazz Bilze 1976, Reading 1980 & 1981). Lovely bloke, very approachable, smart and ready to talk about any subject. Love the man. Passed away way too soon, sadly. Jimi Hendrix, when asked by a journalist how it felt being the best guitar player in the world, replied: "I don't know, you'd have to ask Rory Gallagher"...

[@user-dh5bnafe4b]

Except that Hendrix never said that and you'll never find any record of him doing so. It's just a ridiculous internet myth.

[@patcomer2660]

Rory was the best brilliant on slide , rhythm, lead and acoustic. For blues numbers have a look at What in the World, I Could’ve had religion. Bad Penny , Moonchild, Tattood Lady and A Million Miles Away are all classics. While you at it why not listen to all Rory’s back catalogue you won’t find a bad track in it.

[@JulioSiqueiraMusic]

Thanks for the recommendations!

[@JamesBrown-ob9mh]

Also messing with the kid and walk on hot coals.

[@suekelley4466]

He bought that Strat when he was 15 yo. Played it for 30 years.

[@markoliver630]

He is playing grunge in ‘79 ! Rory was amazing. R.I.P.

[@amitychief3061]

Cradle Rock off of the live "Irish Tour '74" is spectacular, as is that whole album.

[@JulioSiqueiraMusic]

Noted!

[@1955billc]

Got to see him play many times in a small club in Youngstown, Ohio in the 70's and early 80's. Phenomenal

[@heinztania9393]

Esse homem era incrível. Guitarrista insano e arrasador! Minha droga.

[@bobbycameron3592]

Thank you. This was the encore after a 2 hour show. The guy is finished. His shows were unbelievable. Lucky enough to have seen 2 shows in Glasgow and Edinburgh. As they say, the greatest guitarist you have never heard of. Definitely agree with some other comments, 'Walk on Hot Coals' from Irish Tour '74.

[@neilevans5282]

Check out Walk On Hot Coals from the Irish Tour ‘74 Album (not the movie), Bullfrog Blues and All Around Man from the ‘76 OGWT session and For The Last Time from the first album…and oh yeah, everything else he did

[@JulioSiqueiraMusic]

Noted!

[@keithnewbery8948]

Superb acoustic guitar player too.

[@chriso5374]

Bad Penny Live in Montreux 1985 is great.

[@dawnmoore4329]

Thanks! This video is definitely Rory at his showman best, but not at his musician best. Please check out more of his live performances such as "Calling Card" at the Hammersmith Odeon 1977, "Do You Read Me?" 1979 Rock Goes to College, "I Wonder Who?" Belfast 1984, "Rag Mama Rag" 1976 Rockpalast for some samples of his guitar skills.

[@JulioSiqueiraMusic]

Thanks for the recommendations!

[@Dreyno]

That Strat was sold today for 700k sterling plus fees at auction. It’s going to the National Museum of Ireland.

[@neusaluizaoliveira8304]

Tive o prazer de assistir Rory em meados dos anos 80 em Londres. Nunca esqueci aquele show. Local pequeno, interação total com o público, guitarra maravilhosa - saí de lá muito feliz!

[@bid84]

What a musician he was

[@JulioSiqueiraMusic]

One of the best of his time, no doubt

[@georgemorley5926]

From Australia , the great legendary RORY GALLAGHER , we loved him in OZ , he toued here many times , try Shinkicker from the same show ( amazing ) , and for acoustic try ( Out on the western plain ) , he is a virtuoso on the guitar know question , RIP Rory , Peace from down under , great review thanks.

[@Quicksilver51]

Never ceases to amaze me how many so called "musicians" on these reaction channels have no idea what they are talking about! Stating the obvious doesn't add anything and nobody cares what key he's playing in!

And Rory was NOT a drug user.

[@paulwhite7972]

Rory had many strings to his bow. Go to Out On The Western Plain which is acoustic. Rory is not just all about the guitar. His vocals were great too. Great passion in his delivery

[@Localladproduction]

With all respect to you , tour relentlessly write your own material and deliver a performace like that ,,,,,, stay safe my friend behind your vlog

[@Dreyno]

A lot of his playing was fairly technical. This was a bit of an open chord thrash to close out a show and have some fun.

[@Crackity_Jones.]

This video doesn't even show the extent of his talents. I lovw, A Million Miles Away from the Irish Tour

[@SusiGlover-yg5pm]

Nadine!

[@ciaranmcsavvy7565]

This is a great performance but by no means his most spectacular playing. You should check out "Do you read me" from rock goes to college.

[@thequietman760]

Rory's strat was the first one in Ireland.

[@Cato-Nielsen]

Owned by one of the Royal Showband before Rory, allegedly

[@HelgeKS]

Saw him live in 1984: Outerwordly guitar wizardry. Also the LOUDEST concert I've been to.... sonic assault beyond any metal band I've seen. Some of my favourite live clips of him include: Do you read me - rock goes to college Tattoo'd lady - rockpalast 1977 or Offenburg 1982 - two totally different approaches, equally brilliant. Moonchild - from the album stage struck - the definitive version of this song. Shadow Play - from Lorient 1994 . Visibly sick. died a year later, GODmode guitar solo! Also, it doesn't drag on as much as the one you reacted to, it is more to the point...and I prefer it that way,. Just a little bit - Roslyn NY 1974 kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGrElpmiaK2ibKs fantastic jam!

[@JulioSiqueiraMusic]

That must have been a hell of a concert!

[@datosclave9609]

good nigh como recomendacion , amores incompletos los tres good good

[@EugeneGerst]

All he used was an old Vox amp and a treble boost.

[@Dreyno]

Check out Gary Moore if you haven’t.

[@hovhannesharutiunian1340]

"Angus Walk"???? I guess u haven't heard of Chuck Berry in all "your years of playing".

[@JulioSiqueiraMusic]

The quotes make it funny, bro

[@northlander4370]

Jimi who ?

[@dedcowbowee]

Put your guitar away when Rory is playing! Can't you do that part after you hear the song? It's Chuck Berry he's mimicking. That's where Angus got it from, lol.Having followed Rory and seen him in the 70's and 80's I don't think he would appreciate the punk designation, he was playing rock. Chuck Berry based rock in this case.

[@JulioSiqueiraMusic]

I think Rory would tell you to chill, man

[@dedcowbowee]

@@JulioSiqueiraMusic Maybe, but he did say "If i was a punk, I'd kill myself too" after Sid Viscous killed his girlfriend and himself, lol.

I guess you don't Like Brian May of Queen! Brian May is a huge fan or Rory!

[@Michael-jb3ie]

Angus is imitating Chuck Berry. This is well before AC/DC. It is apparent why you didn't know who he is.

[@JulioSiqueiraMusic]

I did not say Rory was imitating Angus, I just mentioned Angus as a reference for a similar stage move. But, yes, I am well aware Chuck did it way before them both

[@garechmurphy6348]

The worst reaction to Rory Gallagher. Listen and learn. Constant interruption. Sacrilege. Just awful

[@JulioSiqueiraMusic]

What would be a good reaction to you? Me just watching and making faces without adding any information?

[@garechmurphy6348]

@@JulioSiqueiraMusic it is not information, you are adding. It is opinion and no more. An excuse for you to compare your skills on guitar, and no other motive. When you do interject, which is quite a lot, it is with very little to say. The question is, why bother? Wait until it is over. My opinion
