Band of Friends (Rory Gallagher Tribute) - Shadow Play

[@EthnaDunlop]

I had the privilege of knowing Rory during the early days of Taste in Belfast. I’ll catch up with Gerry and the band when they come again to the Flowerpot in Derby on 11th November 2023.

[@HenryWIsler]

I saw Rory in 1968 in Lausanne Switzerland with Taste. He began the concert with What’s goin ‘ on. After three chords I was à fan for life !

[@stevebrittain4365]

What an utter pleasure, if you gotta do a tribute then they come no better than this. The man even sweats like Rory. So happy to see Gerry keeping it alive.

[@thebear11]

Much more than a tribute, considering Rory's long time bassist Gerry McAvoy and drummer Brendan O'Neill, 81-91 are in the band.

[@marcwage]

Mir kommen die Tränen, wenn ich hier an Rory denke.Es war eine verdammt geile Zeit.Ruhe in Frieden Rory.

[@sebastianb.3928]

What a Tribute!!! Thx 4 living Rory‘s music in such a amazing way! He would be very proud ! Keep rockin! Germany, Berlin will never forget him !

[@jamesbradshaw3389]

Band of Friends are a very excellent tribute band With Gerry & Brenden and Marcel There he goes Rory Gallagher's right-hand man Gerry misbehaving, working hard, and having a whale of a time. My brothers and I were the very lucky people to get to Stee Rory and his boys many times (not enough time) we call recall each and every gig/concert we got to see, Many times we would say to each other on our to, during and on our way home in the early mornings that we were very privileged to get to see Rory Gallagher and his band also get to see Thin Lizzy play live 2 or 3 times some weeks. Those were the golden days. I am also very lucky to buy one of Rory's guitars last week, now I and going to have to learn to play it so I will be putting in some long hours, weeks, months and years of practice

one of the best guitarest ever seen him 2 concerts just the best sadly missied love this song😀😀😀😀💗💗💗💗💗

[@pedroaguilar5828]

Saw Rory Gallagher at the Metro in Chicago with my best to friends big Rory Gallagher fans.... one hell of a guitar player.... best of the Blues!!!

[@brentbaker4489]

Always loved watching Gerry McEvoy play awesome bass player

[@sinnerboy6009]

Underrated legend

[@harrygaul4475]

One of the greatest

[@matthewjdouglas6471]

My favourite bassist ever, he kicks ass with Rory. Love his style

[@elizabethcanavan3755]

Saw Rory numerous times,fecking legend.

[@jamesbradshaw3389]

You are fecking correct in what you say about Rory, Fecking brilliant, excuse my swearing

[@marcellino1956]

Good to see big MAC playing bass.....had the chance to meet him in the mid 80's nicest guy in the world.....Rory is missed

[@leehambleton9919]

I was lucky enough to meet Gerry when he was with Nine Below I went to the bar for a pint and there was Gerry Brendon and Mark Feltham had a chat with them for about 5 mins great night

[@elflakeador09]

He doesn't get enough recognition as a bass player imo. What a guy to have on bass beside you. I have a signed copy of his book "Riding Shotgun"

[@leehambleton9919]

@@elflakeador09 I agree Gerry does not get enough recognition and he should do because he really is one of the best

[@elflakeador09]

@@leehambleton9919 The energy he brought to Rorys live shows was insane, and that pounding bass. Such a solid player, top class 👌

[@leehambleton9919]

@@elflakeador09 Fantastic bass player I love Rorys playing but I listen to Gerry playing as well he's one of the best

[@navan2528]

I met Ace from kiss in a bar in Chelsea New York one night, I didn’t know who he was, we got talking about Rory, he was a big fan

[@vitorbarbosa5656]

Fantástic Rory foreverrrrrrr

[@Kashaslove]

Boy, I wouldn't want to be up there taking Rory's place!

[@lyricismlover8345]

IMHO, the best to ever do it as a front man. From the guitar playing, lyrics, and always just being Rory. Him truly loving what he's doing was all the show you could ever ask for. Fuck all the gimmicks and personas, just be you.

[@leftis1962]

We are waiting for you in Athens at Gagarin on Saturday 11 February 2023!!!!

Well done Marcel ! Keep safe my friend !

[@nygelmiller5293]

SUPERB!

[@stevenbroughton3974]

Marcel Rocks!

[@jeffhuggins5483]

LOVE it thank you. Rory's missed and that's his guitar and bass player I think.

[@VickiEmmaWilden]

Not his guitar

[@joehelgason6023]

That’s not his actual guitar . It’s a fender replica. I have one and it cost $3500.00. It has the same pickups and keys Rory had on his . One key is different from the other 5. That is his bass player

[@pazamor9164]

In his prime Gerry Mcevoy had the same energy as Rory while they played together.

[@elflakeador09]

Absolutely he did, unfortunately he tends to get over looked by people.

[@rockr5663]

Very true saw them twice in early eighties. Gerry clearly loves his craft

[@jimmyjames4372]

Has the old ac30 Rory tribute Stratocaster…. Brilliant

Yup it's a signature Fender custom shop replica.

Real Sweat makes you Smile...

[@elflakeador09]

Is the front man a Dutch guy? He's the image of a guy I saw play in Ballyshannon years ago, a class act too. EDIT, yep its him 👍

[@thegraphicsfactory]

Great video... have you been to the Rory Gallagher Festival in Ireland... it is great

[@oigofotos]

Not yet but I'm willing... I hope some of these years I can be there!

IS THAT RORY'S STRAT?

[@oigofotos]

Yeah, it's supposed to be that one...

[@robertcooper411]

No way. It's too pristine.

[@gary-songwriter]

@@oigofotos It's a good copy but, like Robert said, it's pristine. The screws on Rory's are rusted from his sweat, the scratchplate is cracked, the paint that shows through, although it's in the same areas as the one in the video, it's shaped differently. A good copy, and the guy plays it well.

[@murdock8068]

Its a Fender replica. 3,000 American dollar guitar. I hope to own one, one day.

[@leelothes9135]

Good job but not the same and not yoir fault only one Rory Gallagher

[@chrisshaw451]

You can buy those Rory Strats, I would think if Rory is hearing this he will be turning in his grave, I saw him live back in the day and what the hell this guy is playing I have no idea, it sounds nothing like any Rory playing I ever heard, awful, absolutely awful.

[@burlatsdemontaigne6147]

... and that bloody chorus pedal or phase or whatever the fuck it is. Saw Rory a few times. He never used that shit.

[@murdock8068]

@@burlatsdemontaigne6147 Im not a big pedal user but Rory did use a couple-three pedals. Definitely on this tune. Go back and listen carefully to the original tune by Rory.

[@nyeevans13]

What do you expect mate? Rory was a genius. It is what it is, a celebration by those who knew and played with him. Get over yourself.

[@elflakeador09]

@@murdock8068 he definitely used some sort of flange type pedal when he played that iconic live 10 minute version of shadowplay

[@barblessable]

Yes saw Rory live, there will never be another RORY ,but at least they keep his music alive and hopefully get others to listen to the real thing,if only on record or film.
