Rory Gallagher-Knocking On Heaven's Door (Rockpalast 1982)

[@Giverechoc]

Rory was too much of a gentleman to take over the performance, which he probably should have done here. Cheers, Rory! We love you.

[@PilbeamMP97]

Rory playing rhythm guitar for a karaoke performance. So sad. Great fun show but what a waste of a magical player. A charming man, Rory, you are missed so much by so many. Thank you for the beers and the memories. Top man!

[@benjaminlumsden]

He had other moments to shine during the concert, when the stage was a bit less crowded.

Yes. I saw the icon, and thought Rory was going to be playing the Mellobar, but that was David Lindley. I should have known better.

Yes !

[@matheking67]

In the first seconds i thought on the slide that must be David Lindley. Then the guy started singing and i thought: Oh my god, that's Wolfgang Niedecken.

The most underrated guitarist and musician

[@oldwobble916]

I read this kind of comments all the time on YT. Probably true for the common public, but not for me and a lot of musicians of his time. I believe Rory had several offers to join well known rock bands and there's the famous comment from Jimmy Hendricks about what is is to be the best guitarist in the world.

[@lillyk2315]

@@oldwobble916 Is it true, that Hendrix said , Rory was the best??????

[@oldwobble916]

@@lillyk2315 Maybe it's just an urban legend, but Jimi Hendrix was once asked “How does it feel to be the greatest guitarist in the world?” his alleged answer was “I don't know, go ask Rory Gallagher.” Implying that Rory was the best.

what a great version! RORY and eric killin it

[@jimw.4161]

Absolutely great video! Thank you! So great to see and hear Eric Burdon... The Animals were one of my favorite groups back in the. 60s. We Gotta Get Out of This Place was the MOST popular song in Vietnam while I was there. Every band in country played it at the EM Club at least once every night. There would be a riot if they didn't! Just recently discovered Rory Gallagher (thanks Ken Bruen for the tip & KZbin for the exposure). I'm 76 years old and I thought that I had heard all the greats... boy, was I wrong! This guy was phenomenal. Tremendous guitar player and singer. Just wished I knew of him earlier. I love discovering a new writer or a new rock group - especially from the 'old' days when music was music. I put Rory up there with the greatest... and by greatest I mean Jimi, Janis, Moby Grape, Jefferson Airplane, Blind Faith, Rolling Stones, Van Morrison, Joe Cocker,Cream, the Kinks, and Jim Morrison. I also need to include the Animals in that group of GOLDEN AGE greats. Rory, you belong with these guys! I guess it's never to late to teach an old dog new tricks. RIP Rory...so happy I discovered your music before it is too late.✌

me encantaría escuchar tu versión de vientan, como lo viviste, ke te llevo allí, como fue la vuelta y sobre todo que piensas de todo aquello

[@geraldillo]

In contrary to many other electric guitar virtuosos Rory Gallagher was also a master at playing acoustic guitar and he was a great singer as well. The fact that he is not as famous as others is mainly because he refused to release his music on 45rpm singles. Check out this video where Rory plays acoustic guitar live at Montreux ; kzbin.info/www/bejne/rn3VXqOVp9irfLc

[@philodonoghue3062]

…”..so very talented.. “ And a talent matched only by his softly spoken brogue. Such characteristic quiet modesty belied his corollary searing guitar and energetic body language on stage. Truly Rory Gallagher was the people’s guitarist. We can but envy the saints and angels rocking out to his ultimate and eternal singing, playing and composing genius on the eternal and infinite stage. As the Almighty, the Son of God and Man and the Paraclete look on and listen to Saint Rory of Ballyshannon. And on the Saturday night, He stepped back and looked upon his creation - and saw that it was good . The apogee of his blues-rock path for mankind to the peaks and clouds of divine riffs, hooks, and vibrato of the most passionate Stratocaster

[@kbates2271]
