Rory Gallagher-Bad Penny (Rockpalast 1982)

Rory Gallagher Loreley 1982.(ROCKPALAST).
Bad Penny {Lyrics}.
Well, like a bad penny you've turned up again
You're in my sights, there's a mist on my lens
I think you know how it was when I tripped and fell
Well, you've double-dealed me, baby and I broke like a shell, oh
Well, like a bad penny you've sure lost the glow
But I'm out of reach, your smile's sure gone cold
Well, it can't ever be like it was then
Well, don't you fool with me, baby
Well, don't you mess with my plans
Some stormy nights
Your memory haunts me
You won't go away
Well, like a bad penny you have turned up in the change
Try to fit into the picture, you can't get inside the frame
I think you know I'm still sore but I'm on the mend
Times sure have changed, it won't happen again
Well, like a bad penny spins around and around
Well, you won't know what's gone wrong when it all falls down
You got to learn from now on to stop playing games
You ought to keep on moving, you got to spin on your way
Some lonely nights
I hear you calling
Won't you go away?
Well, like a bad penny you have turned up again
You're in my sights, well, there's a mist on my lens
I think you know how it was when I tripped and fell
Well, you've double-dealed me, baby, I cracked like a shell, yeah

The legend goes like this: Hendrix was asked backstage during the Woodstock Festival in August 1969 by a journalist how it felt to be called the best guitarist on the planet. The answer was: No idea, you should go and ask Rory Gallagher.

[@dothechickenshavelargetalons69]

This has been debunked many times

Yes, okay, may be or not. And what do you want to express now with your comment?

[@dothechickenshavelargetalons69]

@@MHen I’m just stating it was debunked, Rory is great and to me he is the greatest but Hendrix was never documented as saying that, in fact he was often asked who his favourite was and he would say Billy Gibbons

Quote: "Hendrix was never documented as saying that, in fact he was often asked who his favourite was and he would say Billy Gibbons." ZZ-Top was founded in Summer 1969 in Houston/Texas, Hendrix died September 1970, so, how can this be true???

I'm sure enjoying him now. I listen to Shadow Play (his live performance on KZbin) at least once every day. His fans have told me that his Live performances are the best - and I believe it. His connection to his live audience was incredible. Have only heard wonderful things about the man and his music. He seems to have never left his working-class values and for him, it was ALL about the music. Incredibly talented who have his audience everything he had. So glad I found this man and his music.

I guess u could say I'm an "older kid"now but I saw Rory in the USA in 1972. We went to an all day outdoor rock festival at Rockingham Motor Speedway in N. Carolina. Rory closed the show out that night after many acts ahead of him on a long, hot Southern day. Let me tell u he absolutely blew up the stage & gave a killer performance! I will never forget it! My friends & I couldn't believe what we were hearing. We had heard of him but had no idea what that Irish boy was about to deliver! A great show, and an even greater musician!

Absolutely! tight like clockwork. Even in slower songs no dragging (= bass/drums slightly after the beat). Is quite hard to do. Lot of professional bass players can not do that.

Рори один из музыкантов, о которых люди несправедливо забыли. Да, когда он жил, он был нереально популярен. Насколько я знаю, его альбомы были проданы тиражом в 30 миллионов копий. Но Beatles, Deep Purple и другую классику британских островов слушает достаточно много людей во всём мире. Их песни даже крутят по рок-радио в моей стране, ими интересуется молодое поколение любителей рок-музыки. Чего не скажешь про Галлахера. Жаль. Вечная память Рори.

Damn, words cant describe how much I adore that particular track. Daughter of the Everglades is one of those songs that just epitomises why I love the 1970s and 70s songwriting in general.
