Rory is a Genius, there is the Irish Tour 74 DVD, please watch it , and will be moved to tears. Big hug from Rio de Janeiro.

[@patrickmurphy1803]

Yeah great movie he really cemented himself as the incendiary performer he became. There are so many highlights throughout his career he's the artist that keeps on giving even all these years after his death

[@bobbycameron3592]

The one and only Rory Gallagher. No whammy bar. No wah wah pedals. Just genius use of harmonics, volume control with his right pinky finger and other techniques other guitarists of the time just could not match. Blessed to have seen him in the 70s. Unbelievable. 2 hour show plus 30 minutes encore. Lived for the music nothing else.

[@user-nz9rj2kw4v]

Good that you mention Rod De'Ath. My holy trinity of drummers is Keith Moon, John Densmore and Rod D.

[@Art-zr2fd]

Pinch harmonics is the guitar effect your trying to describe. The guitar sounds in this piece cover every trick in the book except - no peddles not even a delay pedal…it’s just phenomenal skill combined with real musical understanding…

[@matthewashman1406]

Bryan May of Queen says he got his tone from Rory. Brian approached him in a club when he was still young and unknown and asked Rory how he got his sound. Rory spent a long time showing Brian everything he knew. Amazing sharing and kind man.

[@spawn4582]

I love Rory Gallagher and his guitar! 🎸🎸🎸 R.I.P.

[@gaiaeternal5131]

HI JP. DP from UK. Regrets, I've Had A Few. One is never having seen Rory Gallagher live. One of the guitar greats.

[@RossoVerdeNero]

If you want to see the sheer power that just three guys can deliver, check out Shadow Play, live in the Ulster Hall in Belfast in 1984. Not the technical intricacy of some other tracks, but bear in mind, this was Belfast in the eighties. Few other artists went near the place. And you can see that in the crowd reaction. I say "crowd", not "audience", deliberately. Rory and the crowd fed off each other with energy that was just off the scale... and just when you think he's done and you can draw breath, he goes again. Just awesome. The stage crew were dragging fans off the stage who just wanted to touch the great man. As a Belfast lad myself, i was just too young to go to this. My older brother did, and I'm not sure I've ever quite forgiven him... 😂 Makes me emotional every time I watch a Rory video, and for this one, your comments did it justice - well done!

[@prog2303]

The stand alone video of this from the '74 tour is an absolute gem. Shows the sheer emotion, from him, the band and the audience. I saw him that year btw, in Nottingham (3 times thereafter). So close to the stage that we were sprayed with his sweat...He was unique. RIP Rory....

[@lenechristiansen2663]

Rare gems. The 60´s and 70´ are imcomparible,. There will never be an other Gallagher, Zappa, Jethro Tull, Joplin, Jim Morrison, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Alex Harvey, Uriah Heep… and soooo many more. I am so happy to have been at the right place in time 😄. Lene/Denmark, almost 63 ❤️🇩🇰. And new sub to this channel 😍

[@flamineamonn2967]

As someone already mentioned, there’s no pedals, no whammy bar. What you hear is what he produced there on stage, just him his guitar and the Vox AC30 he channels it through. The pinch harmonics particularly on the Irish Tour ‘74 version are the genius of the man on show. To me this is imitating the very thing this reaction started with, a guy walking on hot coals. The album track is the definitive version of this song. The film unfortunately crops half the song in the editing. There are plenty of versions on KZbin and no two are the same. Rory played from the gut. You got what he was feeling in the moment and the band were so tight that they followed wherever he led. This track is heaven to me.

[@dougreed2257]

Just gonna' put this simply,NO ONE can touch Rory for energy and pure skill🎉👍

[@davidporter499]

Had the joy of meeting Rory and his band, kicking a football around in a break from recording back in 1973. They were, very much, a team working for one another (no single star here)..

[@waynedavenport6053]

Thanks JP 'and that is how it is done!' - your guitar lesson for the day.

[@ramblerandy2397]

I bought the Bueprint album something like 3 weeks after it came out. Walk on Hot Coals is one of my favourites off it. Rory was the best live act I ever saw, ans I saw loads. Often acts were too loud or under rehearsed, or with instruments out of tune. But Rory was the only one who comfortably sounded better LIVE than recorded. The last time I saw him was in a marquee tent at Southsea, UK. around 1993-94. He was absolutely blistering.

[@jamesmather2839]

Delighted to have recommended this (with others).

[@Radge-cc5uw]

I just have to see the name Rory Gallagher and I’m smiling. Then when I hear him…that’s me sorted for the night.

[@dony3469]

You must watch Rory perform. It'll take you to another level.

[@-davidolivares]

Treble boosted blues, fun being had, great band, audience appreciation. Enjoyed it here too.

[@marcelfaas1349]

R.I.P Rory we will never forget you

[@heinztania9393]

Fenomenal e arrasador! Rory.... meu eterno vício!

[@wewhofly]

What he's "doing at this point" is sweating, eyes closed - absolutely trapped by his own sounds, in the zone. That is what he was doing and what the crowd are responding to. He always played for himself as much as the crowd. When he finds a rhythm, and likes it, a smile breaks out. When he finds a mood and plays it, the intense frown of concentration. I think Hot Coals is the most 'psychedelic' I've seen Rory to date. He's lost in the sounds.

[@jwhiteho223]

What a great performer. He was one with his guitar, vocals and the audience. One of several performers who could exchange energy from the stage to the audience. It would bounce back and forth until it was one. 😊

[@suekelley4466]

He played with his band Taste before this one and toured as a rock blues jazz band. They were very good too. Rory is a great instrumentalist electric guitar, acoustic guitar, mandolin, and harmonica, saxaphone. Gerry McAvoy is just bad as* in this song, filling and jamming his own chords, he's dynamite!!

[@lenechristiansen2663]

Sinner boy 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍, Isle of Wight

[@psbarrow]

Back in the 70s, I lamented the fact Rory dropped a keyboard player after "Calling Card" in favour of just a trio. His music became more "power chord" focused, but it became simplistic stuff that most guitarists could play; Lou's keyboards gave him a dimension that he could solo endlessly on top of as "Irish Tour '74" showed.

[@mattjohn4731]

Excellent. Ireland rocks

[@richardberesford3993]

Rory Gallagher is own of the great guitarists as well as a composer. I saw him in England three times in the 70's. More people should be aware of him and the depth of his musical styles.

[@gfstephen]

You must watch Rory on video to really appreciate the man, the legend Justin!!

[@gfstephen]

Thanks for the like Justin, may I suggest you view Do You Read Me - Rock Goes to College and Bullfrog Blues - OGWT where he shows he is one of the best slide players. Go for it!!

[@furrypurry]

Oh I love this whole album ❤

[@ElverGobbi]

The first Rory Gallagher song I heard was 'Moonchild'. Please, react to this wonderful song!

[@GG-Wolfhound]

UP Rory!

[@heinztania9393]

Insano e arrasador! Li em algum lugar que essa música tem um dos 10 melhores solos de Blues ao vivo de todos os tempos.Concordo 100%

[@bobholtzmann]

I thought Alvin Lee was the sole master of the intricate Blues lead guitar, until I heard this - great stuff.

[@gsttunite3502]

Go back to Taste end sixties for origins, to the Rory Gallagher trio LPs and when Lou Martin joins. 70s definitely the classic period.

[@suekelley4466]

Rory got together with Albert Collins a great blues guitarist on youtube - Funk Jam. You won't be disappointed.

[@fenderchamp8241]

Great album. IT'74. Rory could really bring it.

[@conorcarberry1830]

I never knew what Jaguar meant - thanks :)

[@garyrobets6147]

Just The Best

[@Crackity_Jones.]

Great reaction. Everything on the Irish Tour album is 🔥. You should watch along with the live video from the film for any others.

[@markgreen7378]

A Gallagher with actual talent.

[@donholl]

I'm pretty sure Lou Martin played electric piano exclusively on this album.

[@patrickmurphy1803]

A one off absolutely nobody like him .I saw him live in dublin in 1979 on the photo finish (great album by the way) tour and I couldn't believe 3 people could make such a beautiful intense racket

[@fredholmes6284]

Ya should listen t some of Rory's earlier stuff from his band "taste"...why don't you watch some of his videos..see the genius at work..my no.1 in the world 👍

[@vernonallen3370]

Great reaction, made my day. Check out Shadow of the sun by Paul Weller

[@kenl2091]

I did see Rory live though it wasn't long before he died so perhaps only slightly past his best. Clearly though, he's one of the very best at this sort of heavy blues rock (I got strong vibes of Humble Pie, Johnny Winter and Ten Years After.) and the extended live versions are usually where you should seek the real quality.

[@dougreed2257]

More like they had vibes of Rory gallagher😊

[@rowan2285]

Thank you for all the great content. I have been following since 2019 and appreciate your take on the music I grew up with (I'm 65). I have a recommendation for a fun album to feature on "long song" Saturday. The album is by Guess Who and titled Road Food. Great music done in a sarcastic and funny way. I think you will love it. Thanks, Doug.

[@mattjohn4731]

Please dig the band Guided By Voices! Their song Dance Of Gurus! Such a banger, they have 40 albums and all of them have a wiki page!! Indie rock with swagger and clever lyrics but experimental

[@markmarley2556]

On this form, Rory was untouchable.

[@randyhein7513]

Opens the bag of tricks one this one.

Great guitarist, good track.... maybe drawn out just a tad too long? 🤔

I can see your point.

It wouldn't seem too long in the intense moment. But yes, I see your point.

[@jfergs.3302]

@@ramblerandy2397 In concert it certainly wouldn't, take as long as you like, solo away... But on a studio album it can feel a bit sterile after a while.

[@ramblerandy2397]

@@jfergs.3302 Agreed

[@RossoVerdeNero]

When he was playing live and you were there, you never wanted it to end, so, with respect, I disagree.

[@maraboo72]

If you want to watch him laying down his poor tired guitar on stage watch "Rory Gallagher Shadow Play live at Montreux 1979 colour.avi". Brilliant. Another favourite of mine is "Rory Gallagher - Moonchild - Loreley 1982 (live)". Somewhere between incredible and unbelievable.
