Shin Kicker

Rory Gallagher live at Montreux in 1979

[@mrefromgermany]

Hands down the Greatest. I'm 61yrs old, I've seen Clapton, Page, Hendrix, Santana, Winter, Thorogood, Blackmore, McLaughlin,Albert & Alvin Lee, Moore and a ton of others live during my days, none even comes close. Rory needs no R&R HoF, his Hall of Fame is in our hearts and always will be. I dont wet easily, but everytime I listen to Rory I could fucking cry.

Awesome clip of Rory at his very best. Hard to believe that this was the opening song of his set. Most people don't achieve this level of after 90 minutes on stage. I was lucky enough to have seen him live a couple of times back in the early 80's. I still have the guitar pick I caught at the end of the set. I later met him and he signed my denim jacket and tour book. He was one of the nicest, most genuine rock musicians I've ever met. 4 people obviously have no ears or brain.

[@melissatyree566]

I thought it was the encore. Awesome!!!

I saw him in 1980 at Birmingham.He opened like this and had 2000 people in the palm of his hand in under 10 seconds.Unique means one of a kind and he really was exactly that.

My next door neighbour and her daughter came round the other night, wailing about how amazing Queen are/were. And how there was no guitarist could come near brian may. Really, I said, because the teenage brian may got to meet rory gallagher after a concert once and asked him how on earth he managed to get such a great sound. Gallagher sat him down and gave him a masterclass in style & technique on which, he says in his autobigography, he based his entire career.

Too damned straight. As great as Rory was, he was able to be so good because Ted & Gerry held the rhythm for him and they were tighter than a duck's backside.

[@blackwingvalleylover]

Phenomenal band

[@stevies5]

Well said. These guys skills made it such a tight trio. Rory was always appreciative of that fact. A very humble guy for a Guitar and Vocal Legend.

[@jamesmeek3475]

Ted McKenna RIP, Kept together the Rory tribute "Band of Friends" for many years too.

[@OPYates]

I was up front, at his feet, at a gig @ the Stardust Ballroom, in Hollywood, Ca. I got to touch the Strat during “Shadow Play”, & bought him a Jameson’s & water afterwards. (It came back with coca-cola). The very first thing he said, and he spoke first, as there I had been, right in front of him was: “ How did it sound? Was it okay?” I replied: “Okay? You blew the roof off the dump.” He thanked me, then ordered the next round, keeping the coke back, as well.Keep in mind, this is around 1983, “Jinx” was the new album, Gary Myrick opened. He spent about a half hour with me as the place emptied, finally sitting at the bar, until Tom O’Driscoll came for him. An incredible ending to an incredible show! Just the most humble, normal guy I’ve met. No “Rock Star bullshit, just a guy who happened to play guitar. Only other one who came close was Alvin Lee, but only if he knew you weren’t a fan-boy. On the night I met Alvin, I was in the opening band, so the ice was broken. Rory was leery of reporters also, as a couple came up during my time with him. “Later”, was his reply to both reporters. One last observation : He was also the only artist who got better with each new album... He never sat on his laurels, or phoned it in. He improved & impressed me every single time out. A true legend....

[@Shikta-poobah67]

Damn, SO fucking good. Rory was a force of nature. Why he’s not more well known or as highly regarded as the other “usual suspect” big name rock and roll guitarists defies explanation. He was once even considered as a replacement for Mick Taylor in the Stones back in ‘74, but I can see why he wasn’t picked. He was just too wild and high energy for what the Stones were doing. He would have totally stolen Jagger’s thunder onstage and eclipsed all that funky chicken stuff. All I know is that he should have been a household name. I’ve only really learned in depth about him in the last 10 years or so.

[@melonballer8475]

I like that he's a secret only the cool kids know.

[@Shikta-poobah67]

@@melonballer8475 At the same time, it’s a goddamn shame that he never got the mass recognition that he deserved. He truly was one of the top 3 greatest guitarists of all time… worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as Hendrix or Beck. I’m not sure why the mainstream never embraced him. Maybe it was just because he was too real, too no frills/no bullshit, too down to earth, and played just for the sheer joy of it, rather than showboating and playing with his ego. I’ve turned on a lot of young’ns to Rory, and they all agree he’s one of the greats.

[@pauledeneau1486]

No one comes close. Still listening/watching.

[@jjjc999]

there is no comparison, this guy was unique

[@sabineotten8124]

Yes, he was unique! His songs, his guitar playing! Music scene today is either rap or playback. No one is mastering an instrument, no one is writing lyrics concerning your life, no one is musically touching you!

[@Shikta-poobah67]

I think what made him unique was that he had the whole package. He was not only extremely talented and gifted, but he was also a high energy wild man who played with a much higher level of passion than so many other “virtuoso” guitarists. You can really tell that he genuinely loved rock and roll. For him it was never about ego or showing off. He lived for the stage, and all that natural talent just came exploding out of him without an ounce of pretension. Musicians like that are extremely rare.

no there won't! they just don't make them like this anymore, absolutely astonishing that he never became what they might call today "a rock god" however I think that was a good thing because it preserved his integrity, all the really famous players know who he is and among his peers he is very highly respected and as for those who haven't heard him because they're only into contemporary mainstream ha-ha there missing out and probably wouldn't get it given that genuine heartfelt talent is nigh on extinct in today's manufactured music industry.
