Was only 12 when i saw him first-then he came to Macroom Mountain DEW

MAGIC.... No matter how many times you see and hear Rory play Tattoo'd Lady, it's different and better each time .. No other live artist captured the imagination, could thrill, excite and electrify an audience like Rory G .. On the way to this gig at Rhein-Main Halle he told a journalist :- "My audiences are into brass knuckle rock and roll. They're the silent majority who just react to the beat. No-one is immune to the prevailing winds of change in music - but all I want to do is get up on that stage and play dirty !".../ This was a great night for rock and roll. It was a wonderful sight to see this soft spoken Irishman turn into a red hot demon on stage .. Mind boggling.... Rory didn't just love music - he lived it..... Thanks a million Rory, for the music and the magical memories...(Watch the whole show - it's brilliant.... Frankie Miller joining our guy for a red hot encore....)...Rory G. An exceptional musician and songwriter. An exceptional human being... MAGIC....❤️✌️🕊️

1st seen Rory in 1969 with Taste,absolutely superb. nearly 70 now and still love his music. he sure was one of a kind.

[@franorichardson]

Well said, my first concert was Taste in the National Stadium in Dublin, will never forget it...

[@saqibshabir9755]

Lucky guys! I'm too young to have seen him perform.

[@kentvikman1086]

Man, Rory was an actual god and Gerry McAvoy was a true beast. Just look at that audience being bound by the spells they weaved. Thanks for sharing.

[@carlodave9]

He’s of the late-60’s/early 70’s spirit of Family. The kind of rock built to take off and go places.

[@martinmuller2809]

Gerry still is a "true beast". Wherever he plays go!

[@cliffhanger5211]

It's funny that Rory isn't in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame after all these years when the fact is he very well could have been the very first person inducted.

[@georgeickhoff3646]

Jimi Hendrix thought Rory was the best and Jimi was right. I will never forget this concert and 3 others I had the pleasure to attend. I still feel really sorry abour Rory's end.

[@yannjodry7917]

Best guitarist ever. End of the discussion.

[@jackcrane7853]

He was a great SINGER also, something that is always overlooked. In fact, he was ONE OF THE GREATEST.

If you think about egocentric self-promoters in guitar Rock, these men here play their own music for an audience. Rory Gallagher to me was exceptional and fascinating in every way. Thankyou 🌻

I still miss Rod & Lou. It’s difficult not to hear them in my memory

[@mickthemerciless9694]

Players like Rory dig in and go for out with so much energy that transmits to the audience far more than a lot of supersmooth more technical players. You gotta be wild, dangerous and spontaneous and Rory certainty was that. RIP Rory. A great, humble man of great charity. God rest a true son of Ireland.

amazingly. I’ve been playing guitar since the 60s. I’ve been in a few bands, this is the first time I’ve ever seen this guy play here in 2024. I hear his style has been copied by following bands in the 80s. I hear other songs that made it big in this song. They copied him

[@fordsrestorations970]

Yeah you guys are right he didn't have any pedals most of the time ,I caught myself tonight turn off all my pedals except for one clean Channel and power boost ... when in the groove, love it
