There just are no words today. Love everyone who is honoring Rory today. Thank you.

[@saxonsteve]

Rory will always be hearts, minds and souls! Rest In Peace, Rory.

[@scottnapier943]

It's an honour to be able to celebrate Rory's legacy with all the fans today. One of the greatest Guitarists and songwriters of all times and one of the kindest and most humble human beings ever to grace us with his presence. Rest in Peace Rory Gallagher.......💚🎸☘💚

[@davidsykes2987]

I can only assume that the few "thumbs down" votes were by people who stumbled across this by mistake!! An excellent set and really well topped off with the amazing Dom Martin going electric with his band. Great stuff! What a shame that Rory isn't with us now - a Rory gig was always a musical high for me and I was lucky enough to see him more than 30 times........ he never disappointed. RIP Rory, my favourite musician EVER.

[@lihilihi5111]

More than 30 times!?😯😯 you are sooo lucky I wish i could see him at least once

[@davidsykes2987]

@@lihilihi5111 I know, I was just lucky to pick up on him very early in his career. The first Rory "after Taste" solo gig I saw there were only about 50 of us in a large theatre..... Rory got us all to sit at the front and still did a 2 hour show..... just amazing!

[@williambevins]

Can you imagine the jam session in heaven with Rory and SRV and Gary Moore. Throw in Phil Lynott on bass and John Bonham on drums. It would be heavenly.

[@peterhooiveld7443]

Hihi and what about Jimi

[@cynthiamarston2208]

William Bevins or Jack Bruce on bass....

[@redpaolo]

Cynthia Marston They’re gonna need a bigger stage.

[@williambevins]

@@cynthiamarston2208 JB would be good but I chose Phil Lynott (Thin Lizzy) because he's an Irishman like Rory.

[@glendahill]

Neil Peart on drums... He was the professor after all

[@johnsmith-sm6mh]

Wow can’t wait for this celebration of Rorys life and music 🎸🎸🎸🎸

[@bkcharlie2408]

Thanks for this fine tribute! Very blessed to have seen Rory many, many times in the States. Was also at his last show in NYC in 1991. I hope these tributes can continue for many years! Thanks a million!

[@robinhowells159]

BkCharlie I saw Rory at Max’s Kansas City in the early 70’s. I’m from Philadelphia & it was my first trip NYC. My boyfriend saw Rory in Taste as he was the opener for Blind Faith. At that time I was a big Alvin Lee fan & boyfriend said ‘just wait till you see this guy’. Rory blew the doors off, one of my all time best gigs ever. Saw him open for either Deep Purple or Black Oak Arkansas (it was the 70’s way too many substances cloud the memory). That was a good show, but the set of course was much shorter.

[@bkcharlie2408]

Robin Howells great stuff! Alvin Lee. Another tremendous loss. I didnt see Rory until 74 for the first time but nearly 20x after that.

[@belindadrake5487]

RORY: The GREATEST EVER EVER EVER!! 🎸☘️👑💞❤️‍🔥

[@salvadorcastanos5834]

My brothers Cesar & Hector as me, are a big fans of Rory's music, my brother Hector is a musician (cello player) and since 2000 he has transcript in scores into plain paper, black and white, note by note, maybe 100+ of Rory's songs, but hadn't have the chance to contact Rory's trustees to publish them in book, maybe someday it will come to reality, in the meanwhile we can play it in my daddy's home down in Toluca, Mexico,... peace & kudos to you out in cyberspace from Guadalajara, México, julio-4-2020 ✌🏻😎

[@Nicko30able]

Mark Black nails it....wish I would have seen it sooner!

[@mickeymouse927]

Rory...still and always my Hero

[@Ian-bq7gp]

Great to see Gerry that fantastic bass player appreciated he was so tight yet loose enough to just jam and improvise.

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

I didn't know what to expect, but then when I heard people playing Rory's songs, I knew I'd found Nirvana. I will not make the comment that Rory would have played it better. Rory would have told me to keep my Gob shut and listen, so I'm listening and appreciating. What a great tribute. Thanks to all.

[@bryanmeekins835]

Rory is such an inspiration. Any other words fail me.

[@paulvale2985]

Nice to see Dom Martin again (saw him at our local Blues club in Stoke on Trent last year), Dom is a master of the Guitar, Rory would approve I'm sure.

[@69melodymaker]

Some great stuff on here, well done everyone. Hope to see some of you whenever the live music starts down south east England, Think Rory would be so glad that his music is remembered, heres to the next 25 years

[@jessie9465]

I fell in love with all of the performers during this video! They were all incredible! I searched most of them individually to check out their original songs, even though they were not bad, I just wasn't feeling most of it. Rory Gallagher had something special, it's obvious the reason I fell in Love with these performers, they were playing Rory Gallagher songs.
