I have said this many times. I lost my wife suddenly and tragically several years ago, and in those early days, sitting at a bar eating dinner alone, this song described exactly how I felt. I was a million miles away at the same time watching other people having a good time and i was wondering how can they be so happy while my world is so empty. It is as if Rory wrote this song for me all those years ago. Thanks so much for doing this song. The live version off the Irish Tour 74' album is epic. Rory was much better live than in the studio.

Delighted to hear Rory here. He was regarded as one of the greatest blues guitists of the era and was born 8 miles from my home town in Donegal. I met him once when I was too young to appreciate who I was talking to. He was a powerhouse live, I was lucky enough to see him several times during the 80s.

Giving credit where credit is due: Rory Gallagher - vocals, guitars, sax Gerry McAvoy - bass Lou Martin - keyboards Rod de’Ath - drums Thanks for playing this, Rory and his bandmate’s music has been a favorite mine for over 50 years. As good as his studio recordings are, his live shows were even better.

I think Rory should have kept playing with Lou Martin and Rod de'Ath. That foursome with Gerry McAvoy was his best.

Follow me priority album

[@billythedog-309]

l saw Rory a few times in the early 70s and he's one of the few electric guitarists who is as good on acoustic guitar as electric. So many of the people named as great guitarists are very good as acoustic players which makes me question the genius of so many of the supposed greats. For me the best of all is Richard Thompson, but Rory is hot on his heels.

[@kasperkjrsgaard1447]

Rory’s live version of “Shinkicker” gets me every time. The greatest blues guitar player of his time.

[@michaeldonaghey]

Raw power.

[@rockandrollpaddy]

I'm blown away that you're listening to this! The album it is from, Tatoo, was never off my turntable in the mid '70s, when I was in my mid teens. Tune from the Irish bluesman!

[@mellie7583]

I won a stream and picked this as the starting song rory is one of my all time favs! I'm going to try hard to get more of him on here

[@andrewcastillo9558]

@@mellie7583 I know it's one of his more.popular ones but get bad penny!

[@dawnmoore4329]

Fabulous! So glad you finally got to Rory. Rory was the songwriter, the vocalist and the guitarist. This song is actually about depression-Rory suffered from it most of his life. Its about being disconnected from the world around you as it flows around you, recognizing that you are on the outside looking in. He was an amazing artist who poured his heart into every piece he played. As others have mentioned, you need to review him in a live performance, because he came alive on a stage in a way few performers do. The 1979 Shadow Play is an example of his energy in a live performance, but since this was an encore at the end of a performance, not the best vocals by that point of the show. The 1979 Rock Goes to College has great performances-Do You Read Me is excellent and shows off a few of his mad guitar skills.

[@flea1972]

He played saxophone too.

[@tommccafferty5591]

I was going to say they need to listen to him live.

[@dontmakemelaugh01]

I'd never heard of Rory in 1982 when he opened for Rush on the Signals tour. My mind was blown by his energy and ability .

[@scottmeeks662]

Years earlier, Rush opened for Rory. They just repaid a friend a favor.

[@dontmakemelaugh01]

@@scottmeeks662 yeah I read aninterview with Alex a few years ago , and he talked about supporting Rory and then Rory supporting them . Alex had alot of admiration for Rory.

[@stevedotwood]

Rory was never interested in Rock or Pop status. He just loved music. Inspired by the old bluesmen. A true gem, RIP Rory - Tattoo'd Lady is my all time favorite by him, the Irish Tour version

[@tonysoprano4755]

Tatood lady is one of my favorites also. Philby and Shadow Play are also on my top 50 from this masterful guitarist. He was so underrated as a guitarist. Rory’s voice was magic so much soul and feelings in his work. I miss him so much.

[@deadreckoningplot]

Rory combined the gift of Irish storytelling with the Blues, he’s beloved!

[@malcolmmcdonald1543]

I was lucky enough to see Rory's former band Taste at Woburn Abbey in 1968. I was 16 years old, and to this day it remains the greatest live gig I ever saw. Over the next few years I took every opportunity I could to see Rory play live. So sorry that we could not see how his musicianship would have developed in his later years. Rip Rory.

[@robbierobinson3966]

WOW. Rory Gallagher. He should be part of everyone's musical education. Thanks.

[@cletushouse906]

Now you’re gettin’ into the good stuff.

[@SkipFrontzJr]

I always related to this song on tour just like "Turn the Page". The feelings are real at the end of the night after the show is done. You go back to your hotel room and you're a million miles from YOUR bed. The road is a blast, but it can be a very lonely place when you aren't distracted. Those drives are something else. PLEASE do his Shadow Play live in '79! I'm SO GLAD you finally found Rory!!! Huge influence on my playing! Learn "Bad Penny" as a great lesson! Love y'all!

[@audiopain]

Please do Shadow play, Philby, moonchild. Finally you 've found Rory!!!

Irish Rory Gallagher was one of the best. A humble man who lived to write, sing, and play music on his beat up strat. Watch the live version from the Irish Tour 1974. You need to see him to fully get him.

His "I Wonder Who" - Live in Belfast and "Do You Read Me" from - Rock Goes To College 1979 are MUSTS!!!

[@mattshaw6180]

"Enthusiastically sad".....nice. That is a great description of much of RG's work, and blues in general.

[@maccant4707]

Rory’s ‘74 Irish Tour version is the absolute classic rendition of this song, he slowed it down, made it more soulful and his guitar work was first class and a little more electric if that makes sense.

[@transmit13]

Rory Gallagher's "Live @ Montreux" Music Festival in Switzerland in 1979 is worth watching. Amazing energy, especially on the song "Shadow Play". Hopefully it's makes a live stream someday.

Well spotted Lex, Every member of the band was a star performer. I last saw Rory live in Punchestown in 1982 and Phil Lynott ended up playing bass with him that day. PS in Ireland the second G of Gallagher isn't pronounced so the name sounds like gallaher.

[@mattshaw6180]

"Calling Card," "Bad Penny," or "Shadow Play" in their live versions would bring you the raw, unchained Rory Gallagher that came out on stage. Try some!

Check out the Irish Tour 74 version, it's THE definitive version of this song (as well as for Tattooed Lady, by the way...). As a rule of thumb, use only Rory's live performances, since he really was a stage artist, with incredible energy.

[@jamesyoung7560]

I'd heard "OF" Rory Gallagher early in my days (19 or 20) because Vivian Campbell (Dio's guitarist) mentioned him in a guitar instructional video. It wasn't until I was in my 40's until I actually heard him play though. I had run across a copy of "The Irish Tour" film and decided to get some blues "culture". I was blown away! If you two have a couple hours someday you should watch that video; not only does it have some amazing live performances but there's a lot of cool backstage and Irish cultural material there, including some sad scenes that reflect "The troubles" that Northern Ireland went through, with barbed wire barricades sometimes visible and a truck of armed British soldiers driving by at one point. Rory was one of the few performers that would play in N. Ireland at the time, due to the danger. Rory is famous for being a "blues" man but if you dig into his catalog, you'll find out that there's not many musical styles that he didn't try his hand at; Rock, blues, country, folk, pop, metal ("Moonchild" is metal as f**k) he even did a song called "Signals" that borders on New Wave/Post Punk.

[@jamesyoung7560]

KZbin has a lot of Rory Gallagher clips, here's the song you just reviewed in a clip from "The Irish Tour" film. Same song with a few differences in how it is performed. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKnMdoCmmK5raac

Way back in 1972, my buddies and I bought tickets to see our then favorite band, Deep Purple in Southern California, at the old San Bernardino Swing Auditorium. Rory Gallagher was the opening act. We were so blown away by his performance that we were all calling for encores. We got 2 encores and were fast becoming Rory fans. No disrespect to DP, but Rory Gallagher totally stole the show.

The greatest complement to have been given this mans skill was to have Jimmy Hendrix pay deference to Rory's playing. The live version adds another layer to A Million Miles Away a true blues classic. Needing and wanting to join into the cheerful environment that surrounds you, but the unexplainable blues you grapple with prevents this.
