I’ve seen Rory several times in the UK in the 70’s and 80’s. At one concert he was late arriving …van broke down on the highway …real rock and roll stuff. To make up for it he played for over three hours ..at the same intensity you saw in this video. Absolutely unbelievable, and he was such a humble, kind and super talented person.

In 1973, my buddies and I were all excited about seeing Deep Purple at the old San Bernardino Swing Auditorium. I will never forget it. There was an opening band from Ireland playing by the name Rory Gallagher. We were immediately blown away. We yelled out for 2 more encores and Rory obliged. He inadvertently stole the show from DP. My buddies and I, needless to say, became avid Rory fans.

Two of the best guitar players ever to pick a guitar up were Rory and Gary Moore. They knew each other really well back the day, sharing each others guitars and amps on stage if there was any break down of equipment, or broken strings. Gary should be involved in Irish music week, underappreciated by the music media, but idolized by other musicians. A few suggestions just in case - The Messiah Will Come Again live from Montreux 1990, Gary's cover of Jimi's Red House from the Strat Pack concert, and the live performance of Thin Lizzy's Black Rose with Scott Gorham. Rory and Gary were two of finest guitarists ever pick the instrument. R.I.P. both.

There are video's of Rory playing for Irish school children somewhere in Ireland, and you can just see he loved bringing joy to these countrymen of his. The videos of these shows are on KZbin for sure as I watch them often, and have over the decades when I started watching Rory. I learned about him when I was in college in 68 to 71 and by 72 I had ownership interests in 3 different record stores. Now, decades later I still watch Rorey and many of the old Rock and Roll icons such as Mike Bloomfield and Jack Bruce, to name a few. It tickles me to see the renewed interest there is in music like Rory's and Gary Moore's. Taste was Rory's first band that caught my attention and the music world thought they had another Cream on their hands, but evidence will witness that that is not what Rory had in mind. His immense talent was evident, but he had been an Irishman from a poor family. Most of Ireland was poor back than. Rory seen realized the purity of being a musician who was fine with the fame part of the music business but striving to build a fortune did not appeal to him. He became a musician and that was enough for him, a great musician. The acquiring massive wealth did not appeal to him.

Have you just opened the Rory Gallagher rabbit hole? There's a ten plus minute version of Shadow Play that tops this, also the version of Hands Off from the Old Grey Whistle Test is awesome. A couple of versions of Bullfrog Blues, one as a three piece, one as a four are well worth a look.

So glad you found Rory Gallagher! He was an gifted performer who followed his own path and missed the fame afforded to Clapton and others of the time by never compromising his vision. Since you enjoyed that so much, I highly recommend listening to "Can You Read Me?" from Rock Goes to College-high energy and amazing guitar skills on display. Any of the Old Grey Whistle Test videos are outstanding, especially "All Around Man" when he shows off his harmonica skills as well. Also check out "Going to My Hometown" at Hammersmith Odeon in 1977 (he's playing a mandolin!). He was an accomplished acoustic player as well. Great examples of that are pretty much any rendition of "Pistol Slapper Blues", or "Walking Blues" at Montreux at 1985.

You may like his performance in France playing Bull Frog Blues. He actually gets down on the floor with the audience. He believed in close contact with the crowd.
