Rory and band playing the Muddy Waters song 'Garbage Man Blues' at the Rockpalast Festival in Essen, Germany July 23rd 1977

[@crow2able]

Damn, my generation had the BEST musicians! I love these new blues artists, from Zepplin to Johnny Winter we rocked ourselves awake!

[@stevejeffrey11]

When I listen to Rory, I crank it up to the max & so does the whole street... not a single complaint so far, only works with real music like this ;)

[@greghale6272]

Did his job, never sought the lime light, just played his music. Very few better players.

[@terrybarton1604]

Pay attention kids,this is what a legend looks and sounds like!!Rory G,the maestro, lightning in a bottle ☘

[@kentlowry5435]

Even Jimi Hendrix said he was the greatest guitar player at that time and I still to this day 7/23/2023 believe that he is still the greatest .

[@williamsomerville-tu9nf]

Saw the man once in Edinburgh but listened to his music from the 1960's . He played that guitar and wade it weep. Eric I'm afraid you came second.

[@muksukhai2010]

Rory breathes the blues...his facial expression shows he is living the Blues

[@gscheidhaferlvomdienst6864]

Yes, he IS the blues😅

[@rorycoles3324]

One of the most accomplished guitar players that ever lived.. My dad had taste... As I was named after him 👌

[@chrisyonkus7424]

Simply the best!!!!!

[@dominiquepaul6877]

A nice first name for sure!

[@lowtaxationworks3589]

For me, the greatest guitar player. And what an honour to be named after Rory!

[@stevejeffrey11]

the Best

[@fantinijacques]

I am Jacques, but my nickname is Rory ! 🎸🎸🎸

[@PatrickTengmusic]

My god this was 1977 and the way he delivered the blues wow my jaws fell off my face it’s beyond master class ❤SALUTE - this is the real 🎸 god 👍

[@muksukhai2010]

This man was born with a guitar

[@robertusoff928]

Nobody played with the fire that Rory did. Before SRV, there was Rory, and I hope that they are trading licks in Heaven.

[@dioXxXtyler]

Just about the most powerful bends at 33 seconds in. Rory was on another level.. Shame, Gone to soon.

[@gunterharz8753]

for my opinion one of the greatest guitarists ever

[@jbizzle7616]

I love the blues and this is the first song a I’ve ever heard by him. I’m a fan now.

[@mattstrat1]

He's definitely in my top 5 along with Gary . 2 out of 5 Irish .

[@brothermike2506]

I play bass and love playing Rory songs along with his old recordings He was master grade. And still teaches us how to play by" listening". RIP G MAN

[@fabiorodrigues8876]

Holly monster

[@ezkibela]

Your opinion was the same as Jimmy Hendrix opinion , so we can say your comment is on point .

[@neilangus4401]

The tonal accents on the notes No one does it like Rory Absolutely perfect

[@dominiquepaul6877]

Garbage man : the best blues of this phenomenal band, Rory Maestro and the other three at their top!

[@billconnelly4840]

Nice , from a American Irish man at 61 never heard of him . He's Awesome. I will visit my family he land in July of 23 in county Cork to try to find the Finnegans. My mom's madame name . Hope to see you then. BILLY Connelly.

[@gtsteele6219]

Smiling and nodding at this own words while he rips off those fills............Rory OWNS this.

[@brianmcd9492]

Women are great at re-cycleing their best friends. Rory great song 🙂if they leave you at least we got the Blues🤘

[@mireillehoudayer4409]

Need to have a universal soul to play and sing blues this way. Rory had....

[@lynnbain3543]

Play those blues Rory I want to tell you about my baby, she ran away with the garbage man she better come back quick and empty my garbage can . God how I miss you !!

[@BluesRockerSoul]

Wish I would have seen the Great Rory Gallagher live ! ! !

[@ayeshaakber3996]

And I am in so love with this legend garbage man’s lower class voice and extraordinary guiter talent. I love this types of raw pieces that derive from him.

[@neilangus4401]

You know Derek trucks will stand in Awe of Rory Derek has the clinical approach to Playing slide Rory has the feeling and taste

[@bungeemaster]

Truly an epic master guitar player. Thank you Rory!

[@gizmono2869]

look man ,for real I call my dog the garbage man and my ol lady Love's him as much as I Love Rory I cannot believe that I haven't heard this! just goes to show ya , you can listen to Rory forever ,so nice 🎸

[@jhngregor]

He's playing slide in standard tuning. Incredible.

[@alanosterman7130]

Yes, to make those notes resonate like that in standard tuning is something. Thought he switched guitars, but nope not him. Greatness

[@donjohn2695]

Rory was a master

[@neilangus4401]

Yes And it is hard to do I always played in 440 Open tuning was not an option But that was just me The challenge

[@allenholewa7673]

Phenomenal guitar player gone way too young

[@lillyk2315]

Sadly missed. How I wish he was here...........

[@benjack8477]

One of the greatest

[@faschoen585]

So true 😢

[@adrianrijkeboer2185]

Oh Rory the way you make me feel❤💋

[@keithfowler6876]

The great ones are always gone much too soon, and yes rory was one of the greatest!

[@ingridkrause9461]

One of his best performance. ❤️

[@studio-flash]

In the early 1980’s I would see bands like AC-DC, Queen, Kiss, Rush, Thin Lizzy etc along with many others. On one of my nights out in Liverpool I was walking past either the Liverpool Empire or The Royal Court Theatre and saw people queuing up for this man..as the poster said..” Rory Gallagher “. I knew the name but that’s about it. I always though, who is Rory Gallagher, I knew he was a guitarist, but I never got to see him. How I regret that, I suppose it was also because my group of friends didn’t mention him either. Wow what a player, much better than say some of the “ guitar heroes” of my youth…Ritchie Blackmore comes to mind. Yes he’s a great player but from the videos of Rory I’ve seen , he can play anything and the sound leaves me with goosebumps, something Blackmore never did. I also heard Someone say to Hendrix who do you admire and he said Rory Gallagher. Brian May, Jimmy Page and Eddie Van Halen, also speak very highly of him.

[@stevejeffrey11]

he was simply the best

[@stephenhill560]

The BEST

[@robertcurrie5140]

Rory you are still missed.

[@senseblossomxxx5260]

Creeped into the TV this evening with the radio on up to the stop. Unforgettable memories

[@davebeach2343]

This song is such an epic display of how to play those down and dirty nasty Blues. With his band showing their chops with the tight play between all four members, this shows why every guitar lover should bow down to the greatness of Rory Gallagher. Goddamn I needed to hear this tonight. Going from one video of his to another has helped me get through a very rough night full of grief and pain and loneliness since covid19 took my wife. I thank you for posting this, it's been more valuable than I could explain. Peace out

[@foysers]

Sorry for your loss Sir, hope Rory takes away some of them blues ❤️

[@robertlinehan2519]

I hope you find peace bother. Let the music heal.

[@neilangus4401]

That's beautiful Dave Because I just lost a dear friend today He was from Aberdeen And his name was Dave The pub is grieving

Not that anyone could replace him but dam it why does’t someone record this song so it would be available to us?RIP Rory

[@patrickbluelinecollins]

[@brothermike2506]

Perhaps that chick is more suited being the "Garbage Man's" baby anyway Rory told us all about it.. RIP Gman

[@6stringgunner511]

I guess I should be thankful for at least a 1/2 of a Rory Gallagher song!!!

[@jerrylynch5611]

[@RestInPeaceX]

It's actually cover of Muddy Waters Garbage Man

[@barrykilts4506]

I’m finding many different ways Rory did this song but before the advent of computers gone wild many people around the world hadn’t heard of him but i for the life of me don’t get why this version wasn’t a big hit.I can’t stop thinking about it since first hearing it and think someone should record this and get it out to people

[@ramrd5352]

He can even comb his hair while he is playing an incredible vibrato at 1:01 Lol

[@neilangus4401]

You noticed that as well Good lad

[@barryharkless7777]

The greatest slide guitar player! Even better than Duane Allman, and Allman was a great slide guitar player! Eddie Van Halen was a great guitar player, but I never heard him play the blues!

[@Lars1224]

Mick Taylor is a pretty good slide player...

[@AtomicMushroom1]

@@Lars1224 Yeah especially in standard tuning. Rory Gallagher and Mick Taylor are the best when it comes to slide guitar in standard tuning imo

[@dspreis]

I cant believe rockpalast destroyed this Song at the time! I really would love to watch it till the end! Anyway, thanks a milion for posting! God bless!

[@hardyharhar9]

It did end too soon.

[@emmetnolan7081]

Yeh saw the Rock palast version germans like mouthing off and cut the song in half just as it was reaching the slide part of the song

[@maxcuthbert100]

Wonderful performance,brutal edit.

I’ve listened over and over hoping it would play through

[@neilangus4401]

Yes it's a travesty I can't believe it myself

[@James-zd1lk]

Rory Gallagher/Johnny Winter: who would be the headliner???

[@valeriebarr5729]

I doubt either of them would care, but would likely watch and enjoy each others sets.

Absolutely fucking brilliant 👏 👌 🙌 even better wen u stoned 😅😂

[@alainafielding5304]

This sounds great, but it never plays to the end. What a great guitarist he was..

[@valeriebarr5729]

This was the first internationally broadcast live Rockpalast. It cuts off because the camera switched to the presenters at this point, so frustrating.

Beyond comprehension.

[@fordsrestorations970]

Don't get mad at me , but when I was a kid I used to get Rory Gallagher mixed up with Eric Clapton , .. I would always say " I like this song !" and "I like that song Eric's doing" , people would laugh at me and say that's not Eric that's Rory ! so finally I decided that I like Rory a little better than Eric

[@eddyrguerreiro6046]

Fico aqui imaginando se Janis Joplin ainda fosse viva na época e fizesse par com ele, seria tudo de bom.
