Us Rory fans have this man in our hearts forever Lee Hambleton from Sheffield

[@terrybarton1604]

Rory G the gaelic genius, not enough superlatives to describe this man.The master, sorely missed but forever in our hearts, RIP my friend ☘

[@ronwood7029]

My nephew tried to get me into Rory in the seventies ,but I was into csn&y at the time Boy do I regret not taking him in , now I can’t get enough of him and he is the best ever No one can come close to this humble Irish man , RIP big man we will meet you down The road

[@gilland2000]

That harp player, unbelievably, was having a few drinks in a Dublin pub, and got up to jam with a band I led when I was living in Dublin. He slid right in on one of my own original tunes called 'Down in L.A.' and played some amazing harp. It was a sodden Irish pub kind of affair, great fun!!

The brightest flame always burns the shortest.... We lost this monster of a guitar player way too young. Incredible legacy and thanks to youtube, we can watch him time and time again. I'll never tire of watching Rory play. RIP boss.

Yea buddy

[@MrYFlyer]

His energy was much less.

[@wyattearpp9540]

Alcohol is a demon to some...

[@robertolesen5782]

You can see he was really starting to balloon up at this point. He can still play great though but what this was doing to his liver along with paracetamol later, what a shame.

[@cornelvis]

to answer the questions a bit, he was on uppers and downers, exactly the same crap as Elvis had and he was drinking just his fair share.Imagine going in and out of planes every fucking day, traveling all around, he was and the band also a hard working band, only going home for Christmas.....go figure.... that is going to hunt you at some point. I would recommend reading the biographies He never stopped playing. Rory was a true artist and believed in what he was doing

[@robertandyjustus]

This is a fantastic performance. Rory is on fire. So much expression in his face when he sings and plays the guit.

[@tommyboo21]

Almost two hours of electrifying play, and not a single bad note. That was way beyond ordinary talent.

[@metalek87]

i was born in 87' why i discover Gallagher so late :( this should be played in radio tv and others media this is true music no commercial piece of crap!

[@sgtcork9056]

Yup Rory wasn't about commercial music he was about the music he disbanded the taste because they tried to make him commercialized he wasn't going to have any part of that. RIP. RORY.

[@sgt.thundercok4704]

"Speaking about Gallagher's Stratocaster purchase, his brother Dónal recalled: "His dream ambition was to have a guitar like Buddy Holly. This Stratocaster was in the store as a used instrument, it was 100 pounds. In today's money you couldn't even compare; you might as well say it was a million pounds. My mother was saying we'll be in debt for the rest of our lives and Rory said, 'Well, actually with a guitar like this I can play both parts, rhythm and lead, we won't need a rhythm player so I can earn more money and pay it off.' So the Stratocaster became his partner for life if you like." What a beautiful anecdote about his main.

[@dennymk6454]

He was getting chubby and starting to lose the battle here, but he was still one of the, if not the, best blues rockers around. Only 8 years later he was gone. RIP our friend Rory

[@lillyk2315]

HE WAS GETTING CHUBBY..ALCOHOL WAS HIS ENEMY BUT WHY WAS HE SO HARD DRINKING? I CARRY HIM IN MY HEART .GREETINGS FROM GREECE

[@GWard-hz5wj]

@@lillyk2315 Lilly, Rory's drs were giving him steroids for pain in his hands. That, combined with alcohol, even in smaller amts was dangerous. Steroids are notorious for swelling & presentation of a "moon- face appearance". Why his family or those who traveled with him didn't step in to intervene, we don't know. Perhaps, as private as Rory was, he was unwilling to discuss his problems. It's still a mystery & a terrible loss to us & the music world. By the time he sought help at the hospital his liver was failing. The drs told him a liver transplant was the only hope which he did get. But during recovery from the surgery he developed MRSA, a serious infection, & it killed him...47 yrs old😥.

[@lillyk2315]

@@GWard-hz5wj Thanks for your infos about Rory. How I wish he was here among us.... The end of his life was so heartbeaking....so sad.I think that he is now in paradise,free from his pains.🌹

[@walkingtheboogie]

​@GWard-hz5wj I wonder what type of steroids he was given because I've been on steroids for autoimmune conditions, and I don't remember the requirement not to drink alcohol. I wish I had got to see Rory Gallagher live.

Pope thunder That has to be the quintessential comment made so far Well done

[@mahesh29950]

Rory Gallagher is like jimi Hendrix Eric Clapton beatles' Bob Dylan pink Floyd etc etc all rolled in ONE . He is classic example of World isn't fair thing . Though he was the best he never got recognition he deserved .. people are discovering him now . He never accepted commercial scene of music industry then to become famous . He was star among his true sensible fans .. I wish World knew about him more then that how he was so better than any so called rockstar musician .

[@leehambleton9919]

Your comments are spot on everything you said about Rory is how I describe him when I talk to people about him he always had a big hardcore following but more people are starting to discover and appreciate Rory thanks to youtube and Internet greatest of all time in my opinion

[@ScottMason-ss8ww]

He sold 30 million albums so a fair few knew about him. Purists, he's unbelievable!

[@Ogma3bandcamp]

Having a Rory day. 25 years ago today we lost one of the all-time great guitarists. I'm not a big fan of funerals but my girlfriend dragged me down to St Oliver's cemetery in Cork, to pay my respects. 25 years later, I'm glad I did. Legend.

[@paullevine1813]

Saw Rory in 75, sat right in front of him at the Bayou in Georgetown, near DC, He was as gracious as can be & was as good as anyone I saw play back in the70s, Rory never compromised his music for stardom or commercialism, He simply was one of the best . Rock on Rory you will always be remembered by those with rock n roll hearts...

[@johnamaral1786]

Paul I agree, except that The Bayou is in an area of Northwest Washington, D.C. that is known as Georgetown. So...in DC...not "near", as you put it.

[@snogglemonkey]

I followed Rory a long time ago and in the past month I started listening to him again - nothing has changed: he sounds as great as ever! Perhaps I have changed a little because my understanding and appreciation of his music has deepened to the point realizing Rory was a genius with a great and very unique soul.

[@antonbieber1871]

This is an open air right in the middle of the city of Vienna - at the Hof - Rory felt always very welcomed here in Vienna, and so he passed by very often. Great concerts always very hearty and full of power and respect for each other. Great musician.

[@thofman09]

Mark Feltham. Long time Rory collaborator. I read somewhere that he played blues to Rory when on his deathbed. Leads his own band Nine Below Zero. They had Gerry McAvoy on bass for a while recently too, I think..

[@michaelaiello9525]

[@matinee310]

He was true talent mate! Died to young! Played from the heart you will always hear the grace note in his playing. He replaced te neck so many times on that guitar due to sweat he use to leave it on a window still to try and straighten it out. Worth a lot of money. Gallagher and Moore best to come out of Ireland.

[@Samdark0]

True, he developed a fear of flying, and made the mistake of thinking doctors could help him. They kept piling on the scripts. He liked to drink, and he was taking Prednisone and paracetamol so was retaining fluid. He kept pushing himself to continue to play his music- he loved to play his music for people, but his body wasn't strong enough to carry on at that pace. Yes, he was a true artist, and he died too young. Rest in Peace Rory- we won't forget you.

[@lindapooh1970]

Doctors are worthless. This beautiful man was taken too soon from us all. I truly love him.❤

[@meself349]

Doctors and psychiatrists have killed plenty of talented and creative people. There's a whole list. In music and other performing arts. Either destroyed by regular prescription drugs or they committed suicide because of the psychiatric drugs which are known to have that as a side effect. Like Chris Cornell for example. Jill Janus also. And the brilliant interpreter of Bach's keyboard works on the piano, Canadian Glenn Gould. Died basically from the horrible side effects of psychiatric drugs. Axl Rose was smart enough to stop taking the lithium carbonate for bipolar disorder or that probably would have killed him as well. Tom Petty died from combined drugs for his hip fracture and anxiety. The list goes on.

[@sallyarmstrong4593]
