Rory Gallagher on RockPop Show

[@RByrne]

This was such a great band! Rory was just The Man. Truly played for the people. Gerry McAvoy is right there with him, too. They were matched so well. Damn I wish Rory was still around.

[@711stevieray]

Rory!...the greatest guitarist of all time!.... He jammed it! All over the world, and never sold his soul, to the industry 🎸🎶🎵❤️💜🎸👍✌️

[@jamesbradshaw3389]

you are completely correct

[@mitchmover3284]

The most underrated guitarist of all time!

[@jimrollins4857]

Wish that good ol Irish boy was still around. What an entertainer!

There are a few "Good Ol Irish Boys" I wish were still around too.

[@ajandeka3963]

Yes, i also feeling that. Amazing 👉 RORY GALLAGHER.

[@alejandramarquez235]

Certainly. Wish he was a bit immortal. With his songs he already is I suppose.

How can you not feel the soul of Rory Gallagher when you watch him perform? He’s been a part of my musical memories for over 50 years. Can’t ever forget him, nor would I want to. ❤

[@nabucodonosor863]

This guy was so cool. Rest in peace dear Rory. I am a fan from Brazil and I just love the joy he had on his face playing the guitar. I live in a far land and in a poor hood, but your music hit my heart.

[@nicoledavis6238]

May be a poor hood, but you have good taste for sure 👍

[@timmiller3523]

Rory, untouched!

[@brahmburgers]

Great stuff. I saw him perform in a small club in Wash DC, 1972. If he'd asked me, I would have recommended a Hammond B-3 organist for his combo - then he wouldn't feel obliged to fill all the spaces. He's a guitarists' guitarist.

[@sgtmac62]

His riffs were so fluid. Rory, Jimi, Stevie. I'm glad I was alive during this period of history.
