Rory Gallagher - Too Much Alcohol

[@superdriver777]

You know he's a beast before he even starts playing....the way he got into open tuning in a matter of seconds, by ear, and then he starts off with that big whoop....man, what a legend!

[@thecastle09]

lol, its not fair really how talented he is. love him and i burned my guitar.

[@irishwanderer4206]

@@thecastle09 he'd cry if he heard that how silly, I'm playing guitar 3 years never heard of Rory till I was 19 and I'm 27 now and Irish I was sickness med I'd never heard of him, get a new guitar and look up dave Simpson he's an English man and the next best thing too Rory start by learning bad penny it's simple enough I haven't perfected it but I will, for Rory.

[@stonethecrow80]

That's what I thought

[@havalinachiel7694]

Listening to that tuning doesn ´t exactly make me think of beasts . blame it on my humble opinion , just sayin ^^

It is an absolute travesty how he wasn't included in Rolling Stone's 100 greatest guitarists. Its a travesty how he didn't top the list

[@jimmycampbell78]

I think just not enough people have heard him. If you listen to enough of his live playing, a range of his songs in different styles, it becomes evident he is one of the great guitar virtuosos.

[@michaelyouens6133]

I dont think it would of botherd him he is a different class he loved it not like the one who force it

[@irishwanderer4206]

Rory and his bass player John mcevoy were two unreal legends.

[@christineayres7094]

@@jimmycampbell78 well Slash cites Rory Gallagher as an influencer, but yeah he was only really well known in UK and Republic of Ireland but Jimi Hendrix often mentioned Rory in interviews so you know he was good.

[@lastnamefirst4035]

That's unbelievable

[@vincemcmanus48]

ive never enjoyed watching someone tune a guitar so much. that was masterful

[@Magpie-bd4ry]

Doesn't matter how many times I watch this it gets better,. Rory is a legend

[@dububro]

love how he goes straight from tuning his guitar to WOOOOOO

[@spiderbabybill]

This is the way

[@Fastrip]

that comment made me laugh xD but i totally agree with you! Rory is a legend

[@salvadorcastro6061]

Lo que tocaba éste muchacho, mamita querida! Un fenómeno Rory!

[@jorgecampa453]

De acuerdo.. Lo veo desde hace muchos años lo considero de los mejores.. Con una guitarra barata la hizo llorar.. Porque no toco con una mejor.. Hubiera sido grandioso.. Saludos

[@robertwright2852]

self-taught, listened to records, never read music just chord charts; amazing

[@pauljordan4452]

Amazing indeed. I improvise with slide often - music is expressing emotion.

[@josevivar5157]

I could see Rory twice in the 70's in Madrid, Rory is hypnotic, magnetic, ahead of his time, pure magic, Rory always in my heart.

[@eddieboy6636]

Lord above, the man could play, just an amazing talent, the guy was unmatched.

[@carlwolf4547]

... and let's not forget how good a vocalist Rory was back in the day!

[@unamalone9373]

Incredible Blues! Genius on guitar !

[@gravano2]

Not only a great player , great blues voice

[@b40]

When he finishes tuning his guitar and starts playing it's amazing the joy that emanates from him, the music spurts out of him

[@I_Love_Rugby]

This man has skill in huge quantities...Epic...words dont do Rory justice.

[@scullion11]

Hey, I've loved the guy for 40 years and now you will too...enjoy!

James Gower yes he did and he never let it go to hes head i hope he had good friends along the way love you rory may you rest in pease margo

[@alantaylor3972]

Still loved and sadly missed. A genius of the blues genre, a guitar magician and a great man.

[@trevorburns3634]

I have seen them all... This man is out in front. The best.

[@strooomon]

Purity and greatness are often not linked. Both words describe Rory. He never deviated from the music he loved. Fame was not important. Playing to an appreciative audience was. For that, I am forever grateful. He remains along with Robin Trower, my favorite guitar players.

[@teenaleejones]

I HAVE SEEN RORY A COUPLE OF TIMES I PLAY HIS MUSIC EVERY DAY WITHOUT FAIL . I SO MISS HIM

[@TheD1763]

Oh God,what do I like tis song so much! He was absolutely the best bluesplayer alltime! I still miss him!

[@EASmitty61]

Seriously...who could not like this song? Raory was a real legend.

[@daviddegruchy3329]

Possibly the greatest of them all.

[@tonymccusker501]

The best of all

[@LaurenMusicx]

So proud to say he's from my City.

[@josephsingsthedoors]

Rory is the blues!Magic musician!

[@accentiate2007]

Great performance! This man IS the blues!

[@literallygod6129]

its so cool. in the beginning when he's talking he goes from this seemingly super nice, "nonthreatening" dude, but the moment he starts playing, its like he transformed into a completely different person, its a total different vibe.

[@sonjadietz5297]

Ein Genie! Er lebte nur für seine Musik. RIP RORY

[@ramspace]

Rory's voice is so good. He did hit the sweet spot.

[@kerryshrode]

OH DAMN he is good. goosebumps galore, wow! he relives and improves these old blues. damn good singer too. he has SO much fun doing this. Legend is right! This is as good as it gets.

One of the greatest guitar players ever.....made me jump and shout...why do the good ones die young? I don't know....RIP Rory Gallagher...god bless you...

[@PeterSmith-jn4cl]

He was one of the greatest guitar players ever!!!! I would've loved to have seen him live!

[@imrepohl]

I don't think I can remember how many times I've watched this clip, but every time I listen to it I get goose bumps! Such a great musician and so completely humble and unrecognised for the genius he was.

[@leenardskeenard]

After meeting Rory in a bar in London 1989 I named my first born after him, his music will live on forever

[@23crosspath]

And me but it was a girl

A proud son of Ireland taken too soon by the drink.

I didn't know that. Thankfully my therapist taught me that depression always comes from some prior frustration. No point eating magic mushrooms for depression. In 19th century Australia, alcohol was used for currency, even paying for the construction of a hospital. Isn't that an ironic situation?@@jackietreehorn5561

[@swamp-yankee]

@@jackietreehorn5561excuses! You think pagans ain’t got drunk? Everybody ferments. The indians did. Some people think humanity developed agriculture so we didn’t have to walk around so much gathering seeds and lugging them home for beer because brewing takes stationary infrastructure.

[@SRV4evr]

He's brilliant! I think Rory's up there in blues heaven with Stevie, Jimi, and other dearly departed musicians who left us far too soon, just having the time of his life. And I hope we see them all again someday!

Not the greatest musician... guitarist, that's worthy of argument, though. Rory has yet to be matched on that front.

[@johanstaelens5194]

He was the best with his audience... he was one among us all... miss him so much... If You didn't know or see Rory, please shot the fuck off !!!

[@davidregen1420]

Rory always embraced his audience. He made them feel like they were part of the show. He would jam, & hang, & talk to his audience like they were at his place. Very laid back, but stay away when Rory rock's that Strat, cause he'll just take you to new heights that you've never been to before. RIP Rory & keep Rockin'. Me, Dave & Still Kickin'

That is definitely on my "bucket" list! I will have to have my own festival this summer at my house, in June.... I am going to celebrate Rory's birthday tomorrow, as I am going to wear something plaid to work and listen to him all day!!! Our Irish God will not be forgotten!!! Hugs to you and celebrate tomorrow my friend!! Take care.... :)

@@mgmnfld3109 I asked him for his boarding card ..... But Gary Moore joked that I should keep my eye on him as he was a reprobate.. Rory didn't say much but seem like a good sport.

@MrMiseeire The last time i saw Rory was circa 1980/1 at Preston Guild Hall my wife had never seen him and didnt really listen when i played his records, the band came out and went straight into Back in your Town,a long version ,but Rory was so charismatic ,she was transfixed .. like the rest of us,he played his heart out as always.He looks ill on his later gigs but he could still play great up to the end. No gig i ever went to had such a genuine feeling of affection and amazemet .
