From Australia , Rory Gallagher is an absolute legend , he is much loved in Australia, very underrated and no he is not in the ridiculous RRHOF for some stupid reason , lucky to see him live here and in Europe , may he rest R.I.P. , if you want to see him play acoustic guitar( Out on the western plain) is a good start , when you get to Ireland there is an annual festival in Ballyshannon every June celebrating this great man . Peace from down under.

Legend, more talent in his little finger than anything you've ever heard on the radio, in the last 40 years.

Rory's stagecraft was freakin' amazing. And this was after the main show-this is one of the 3 encores for this performance. Rory's sets were frequently 2-3 hours. There's even the story of one performance where the power to the stage was cut in order to get him to come off. Nope. He just grabbed his acoustic and kept going. As he got older, he slowed down on stage, but his guitar skills just got better and better, more nuanced, a master at his craft. The 1992 audio of of his Temple Bar performance is probably one of the most amazing examples of this and we know that was professionally recorded on video. Hopefully this will be released at some time, but the audience audio on KZbin is great. Thanks again for bringin' Rory to more people. Also, if you can find it on FB, there is a video of Rory doing Bullfrog Blues in Paris that is equally hot-with the audience jumping on the stage and Rory climbing the speakers without missing a beat.

Best guitarist ever. Great vocalist, multi instrumentalist,e dynamic frontman. Lucky enough to see him live twice in Australia - still rate as THE two best concerts I've ever been to.. So sadly missed - a huge loss .

[@garypowell1540]

I have seen Rory and his band play countless times. You can see why the audience did not want the show to ever end. This band played for up to 3 hours performing 2,3 and sometimes 4 encores.

[@georgemorley5926]

From Australia , we need more Rory so get to chasing down that huge unbelievable rabbit hole , Shinkicker from this same show you will love , Hendrix is supposed to have been asked what it's like to be the world's greatest guitarist, he said I don't know ask Rory Gallagher, Peace from down under.

Saw Rory 3 times in the 70s, in Liverpool, London and Manchester, all of them fantastic concerts. In Manchester, the power went out, lights, everything so Rory did his accoustic set in complete darkness and complete silence from the audience with raptuous applause after every song, until the power came back on and then we were back to the loud wild stuff.

[@oeokosko]

It was also amazing at one of the concerts to see him change a broken string and tune it whilst continuing the song without any interruption.

[@mojobag01]

The reopening of Leeds Irish Centre in the mid Eighties. Nearly four damn hours! One of the very best.

[@giuseppecondoluci8996]

Italy love Rory! the best! ciao from italy!

[@williambreen8577]

Went to a Rush concert, Rory was the opening band, don't remember a lot about Rush that night, just Rory and that beat up Strat, wow, the very next day I went to the record store and bought "Jinx", great album!

[@blueslady70]

Rory is revered in Ireland, Europe, Japan. I never hear his music on the radio in the US despite the fact that he toured in the states. He refused to release hit singles; he didn’t want to be pigeonholed as such. He only released albums. You see him here as a wild man on stage. By all accounts, he was the most gentile, polite, kind man who always gave time to his fans to talk with him. Every year, Ireland has a music festival dedicated to Rory. No, he is not in the RRHF. I wrote a letter to the organization to no avail. Needless to say, Rory is my favorite musician, and I’m an American.

[@joelnall5882]

Thanks 😮 perfect

[@stevemcmaster4347]

I saw the Rock Palast concert when the was living in Germany in 1977. The reason I “fell in love” with Rory. Saw him at the Sporthalle in Köln in 1979. Amazing. Lives in my memory always

[@tomoleary7935]

A Talent Bomb - Very gracious and humble too. He was also a man of the people, and that is why he made himself available to ordinary people.... Beautiful !

[@timothymcclure9086]

I was fortunate enough to catch him live in 1972 in Richmond Va., have mercy!

[@marcuslamb]

famously Jimi Hendrix was once asked on a TV interview - "What's it feel like to be the greatest guitar player in the world?" - His response? "I don't know - you'ld have to ask Rory Gallager"

[@colrhodes377]

Just 👍

[@andymeekison123]

From Scotland. Rory was the greatest. My idol and the least pretentious rock star to ever grace the planet.

[@WhatTheHellEverything]

I can’t say you’re wrong!

[@daireconn]

You should watch shin kicker

[@williammulcahy]

Rory Gallaghers Strat is coming up for auction in Oct this year expected to fetch 1 Million. . . . . Irish Gallagher fans hoping it will end up in Ireland

[@kaz123545]

he is a god here in ireland saw him many times first time in 77

[@eddie1330]

At the press conference, a reporter asked, Jimmy Hendrix How does it feel to be the best guitarist in the world?” Hendrix shrugged and replied, “I don't know, ask Rory Gallagher.” Rock historians

[@joelnall5882]

Yes and more. Wish I knew him in nam😮

[@joelnall5882]

W had the best😮 Jimmy and zep.

[@markoliver630]

A list Rock Star even if you have not heard of him. R.I.P. you were amazing.

[@SusanHeaton]

The RnR Hall of Cash is a joke.

[@markoliver630]

It’s 1979 îs this not totally grunge ? . Down to the shirt. The greatest ever R.I.P.

[@foghornleghorn8651]

There is nothing more I like to do than 420 and listen to Rory Gallagher.

[@davesweeting7093]

Rory the master

[@chriso5374]

Rory is by far still my favorite.

[@WhatTheHellEverything]

I was actually jamming Rory on the commute tonight and damn if it isn’t absolutely great.

[@chriso5374]

I saw Rory with Zappa and the following year with Nazareth at an open air concert in 1985 and 86 in Germany. I believe it was Lorelei. Rory was huge in Europe.

[@LaurenceOConnor-fg4dk]

Brian May of Queen idolises Rory Gallagher. Brian May says he sound comes from Rory Gallagher.

[@johndoyle2397]

If ya need a floor to crash on in kildare when you come over gimme a shout

[@WhatTheHellEverything]

lol I’m hoping that won’t be necessary but thank you for the offer!

[@teejay2556]

Might wanna get the synch right

[@WhatTheHellEverything]

Lol I always want to, just sometimes I don’t quite get there!

[@glenncanale9225]

Still not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame????. Or should we say hall of shame.

[@MrAmajor7]

Gave you a chance until you interrupted the solo... sacrilege

[@666killatcommand]

I think the reason Rory isn't better known worldwide is because he didn't want to be. The bigger you get the more the mainstream want you to change. Rush.......spirit of radio.

[@mynewyoutubechannel.linkbe657]

You'll be let down by ireland bro. The old ireland is gone!
