Rory Gallagher - Walkin' Blues RTÉ 1988

Rory Gallagher & Mark Feltham - Walkin' Blues RTÉ 6th February 1988

[@marcelaoyarce5384]

Rory in his element, the Blues, pure and raw. He was absolutely oblivious about his health, not a surprise he was performing with a bad flu, but our man lived that way, happy in the music, inside it. A true born artist, he gave his life to the music, and he loved that. Respect.

[@dominiquepaul6877]

You are right: "oblivious of his health "unfortunately, he sang this "walking blues" 6 years later in Lorient France when I looked at the show I was chocked I thought: he is dying! I wondered how anybody couldn't have helped him and saved his life...Music made him live just a few months more!

[@saxonsteve]

He shines bright like the stars in the night sky!

[@judithriggs4578]

He IS a star in the sky.. so beautiful inside as well as outside.. so talented and so Real. I live him forever ❤️❤️.. Angel Rory. XO

[@joyceh2721]

Awesome. He was running a temperature too. Got out of his bed for this. A true professional. Rory and Mark = Magic. Rory always gives 101%. Bless him. 👍✌

[@AnthonyMonaghan]

I knew Rory was a monster slide player but this just floors me. I always thought Ry Cooder was the tops but this is beyond brilliant. Rory was all musician. Born to do it, couldn't have done anything else. Everything is in place here, a real master class in how it's done. beautiful from start to finish.

[@michaeljoseph9722]

He was so Good, Check him out plaing slide in Standard Tuning - stunning!

[@dan32113]

Rory had music comes from his veins! A blues Prince, that's the best complement I can give him! Prince was great to, both died to young..

[@benbarclay5546]

To riff on some Irish similes, the trip from Ry to Rory is sorta like Jesus to Lucifer, or Mother Mary to Eve in the garden... Both great. But different great.

[@dan32113]

@@benbarclay5546 another great slide player was Duane Allman listen to statesboro Blues, even the slide at end of Claptons song Laya, is tone perfect, thats Duane..

[@ireland2657]

Welcome to Ireland..one of a kind.. true ambassador of music..keep introducing new people to his music..!!! Keep him alive..

[@belasgirl6]

I agree...he started to dress the way he felt...amazing he sounded so great, while...not feeling so good...what a man! He was quite the warrior!

[@leehambleton9919]

Rory was the greatest nice to see Rory with Mark another outstanding musician Mark always showed Rory nothing but respect great video

[@marcelboogaard5449]

Around this time was made me and my friend discovered Rory by going through his dad’s record collection. It was the Irish Tour album and when I heard his version of As a crow flies I knew I was hooked for life.

[@bronyr]

Thanks so much for posting this. I saw him in February of 88 at the Olympia in Dublin. It was a sold out show but we broke in through a back alley and snuck through many tunnel-ways to see him. Will never forget it.

[@lynnbain9096]

This Brings Tears To My Eyes Seeing Rory Like This & He Started To Wear All Black Because He Was Ashamed Of His Looks & Mark Feltham Is A Dynamite Harp Player Great Performance Thank You For This One

[@RoryGallagherRarities]

You're very welcome, it's a pity he felt that way =(

[@alejandramarquez235]

So sorry about that really. Journalists didn't help much.

[@agneskertesz2617]

No, he wasn't. Don't spread fantasies.

[@marycull3607]

Many thanks for sharing this true gem of blues bursting Rory sounds. Always loved Mark Feltham play harp with our legend Rory. Nice one.!!!!

[@1111makala]

Great. Never seen this one before. Always thought Feltham should be in the same conversation as Little Walter, Sonny Boy Williams II and Paul Butterfield.

[@FelixLamla]

Hi Rory, thanks a lot for uploading this treasure !! But sad.....Rory all dressed in black. He said, he didn`t knew that he was famos for his checked shirts. So....at that time , he said, it was an expression of how he felt. But his voice here is so,so great !

[@leehambleton9919]

Rory had tremendous respect for Mark two great musicians Lee Hambleton from Sheffield

[@RoryGallagherRarities]

Yea, it's awful that he felt like that =(( Glad you like it =))

[@BuddyWalkin]

[@scsmith621]

Wow This is great !

[@RoryGallagherRarities]

Yes.

[@newborn986]

How did Rory die, and what year?

[@joandenham2903]

Albert Stinnett ........... 1995. MRSA killed him. This is a deadly infection picked up in hospitals. It led to pneumonia . He 'd had a successful liver transplant weeks earlier .His brother , Donal , says that the concoction of prescribed drugs including paracetamol Rory took for anxiety and pain , were responsible largely for damaging the liver , rather than simply alcohol , ( a la George Best ). This is my understanding at the moment , July 2020 . Alcohol didn't kill him it was MRSA.........it killed my father also following a routine operation. It's important that the emphasis is rightly placed on MRSA .I do not know how rife it is currently but it certainly has been a real scourge .

[@LauraMarland]

He was full of the flu. He got out of his sick bed to perform.

[@FelixLamla]

Did the interviewer in the end say Rory had caught a bad flu ??

[@indiegemsthatjam3986]
