    Thanks for a great Rory reaction! Rory's band - Bass: Gerry McAvoy, Drums: Rod de'Ath, Keyboards: Lou Martin. Rory was a shy, gentle soul who let loose on stage, he forged his own path and never allowed the industry to compromise his musical vision or turn him into something he wasn't. Basically, Rory wouldn't play their game and they responded as you might expect. Regarding his passing... after a very bad flight he developed a fear of flying - which was devastating for a musician who extensively travelled the world. Unfortunately, his situation was so mishandled by doctors as they inappropriately prescribed him drugs that lead to wreaking havoc on his body and also destroying his liver, causing him to have a transplant. Tragically, he passed away from an infection while he was recovering from the surgery, at 47 years old. His performances are legendary. What separates Rory from the rest was the depth of his talent - his acoustic stuff is as outstanding as his electric, he could pick, he could slide. When he played the blues you felt the blues, when he rocked you rolled. Saw him perform live once in 1978 and it was transformational. I left that show knowing that I had experienced a rare greatness - the best of the best. I've seen most of the 'icons' from that era and no one comes even remotely close to Rory. Listening to his music is a part of my everyday. While mostly known as a blues maestro, Rory could - and did - do it all. Whether it's blues, rock, folk, jazz, or funk; electric or acoustic guitar, mandolin, harmonica, electric sitar or sax. He was a brilliant (self taught) musician, songwriter, performer and a genuinely humble and kind human being who never sold out. Rory was a one-off - the likes of which we'll never see again. Couple of suggestions: Walk on Hot Coals from Madrid '75, and Just a Little Bit from My Father's Place '74 (this is audio only but it's truly sublime). Anyway, sorry for the long post. Thanks again and keep on...

    Rory refused to play the record industry game. He refused to release singles. He refused to make promo videos, in an age when MTV was ubiquitous. All Rory was interested in was going on stage, with his trademark battered, sweat stained Fender Stratocaster, in front of an audience and playing for anything up to 3 hours each night. I was lucky enough to see him live twice and I met him after one show. He was a genuinely polite, kind, humble man.

    Rory Gallagher actually has a massive following despite not playing the game. He isn’t that well known in the States but is a legend in many parts of the world, especially Ireland obviously. If anyone hasn’t heard of him it’s likely because they don’t really follow blues rock music. His Strat is one of Fender’s best selling custom shop models. I have listened to this Whistle Test concert more times than I can remember. A better description is that Rory is the legend that you should have heard of. He has statues, streets named after him and an annual festival in his name.

    Are you kidding me? Rory is one of the blues legends that I have listened to my whole life. I used to own a few record stores in the 60's 70's and 80's. Rory was a pure blues genius who liked nothing better than playing live in front of an audience of Rock fanatics. He played the big Jazz festivals in Montreux Switzerland along side Gary Moore and other greats of music in those long ago historic times. Sadly, he died young, but there were very few guitar players that could measure up to his chops. I am so happy you found this guy.

    One of the very best reaction vids ever to one of the most underrated guitar gods out there. Stevie Ray Vaughn sounded like him because Rory came first. In the 70's, Melody Maker had him as top guitarist, and Eric Clapton credited him for getting back into the blues. Gerry McAvoy, bass, played with him for 30+ years, He brought out the best in his bands and managed to play both lead and rhythm guitar at the same time. You should see his 61 Strat! There are many (never enough) vids of both acoustic and electric sets. For a totally different vibe, find his cover of Ledbelly's "Out on the Western Plain." Also "A Million Miles Away." On mandolin, 74 Irish Tour "Going to My Hometown."

    Saw Rory in Taste at the UK National Jazz and Blues Festival in 1970, then at the Isle of Wight the same year. Then I followed his career with his own band over the next decade, seeing at least another dozen gigs. Never saw a bad concert - he always gave his all and delivered great music, playing Stratocaster, Telecaster, Gretsch guitars, mandolin, ukelele and saxophone. I had every record he released. He could play rock, blues, country, electric, acoustic - he was probably the most talented musician I ever saw.
    Try looking at Catfish or any other track from the Isle of Wight appearance.

    This Blues/ Rocker from Ireland is one of the top three guitarists ever. Jimi Hendrix said about Rory: "He the best guitarist in the world, that nobody outside of Great Britain knows about." Pretty high praise from the guy that probably is the greatest ever. Rory has been gone since the mid 90s. Hard living probably took his life too soon, like many other Rockers, actors, and famous people. Rory wasn't about the money, as much as he was about giving his fans their money's worth when he performed. He said he would rather play to a small venue of 5oo to 1000 people, than play some huge stadium where no can see you or hear what you're playing. Love this guy.

    Rory Gallagher is an icon to all the iconic world guitarists. Hendrix for example said he was the best guitarist in the world. Everybody in his band such technically gifted musicians. Try walking on his hot coals from the Grey Whistle Test - outstanding! Rory played raw and loved being part of the crowd so avoided arena rock gigs preferring smaller venues where he could get next to the crowd. Thus if you didn't follow rock/blues in the 70s and early 80s or love the guitar you wouldn't know him sadly.

    Time keeps on ticking... Going through a box of old ticket stubs not long ago. My first rock concert:
    May 19, 1973 East Tennessee State University
    Rory Gallagher - ZZ Top
    4 bucks
    It was about two months before Tres Hombres came out. (Dusty Hill's 24th birthday, I came to find out on his passing) It was Festival Seating and I managed to get about 15 feet from mic center. Rory Gallagher was pure fire right out of the gate, and his band was phenomenal. (particularly Lou Martin on his electric piano) Rory was amazing to see play and I think that he had as much fun as anyone. Then, BG and the boys came out. Back when they were the most badass blues rock band that ever was. Straw hats, jeans, no beards (but Frank. lol), and BG in a white tshirt w/ pack of Marlboros rolled up in the sleeve(lol). Needless to say, Rory and BG made a big impression on a 16 yr old. Blues rock, slide guitar nut ever since.
    RIP Dusty, Rory, Lou, and Rod. Thank You!

    I first saw Rory in 1974 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin at one of our most beautiful theatres along the Milwaukee River. Oh my he was a feast for this 17 year old's eyes 😊❤️ He wore one of his trademark plaid flannel shirts, blue, and long curly hair, and he was a maestro of blues guitar. We were within the first 12 rows so I got to watch him pretty close. I still have the ticket stub and a couple of review articles. I'm so glad I kept stuff like that.
    I am SO glad you've discovered him!
    🌹❤🌹 Rest in Peace, Rory 🌹❤️🌹
    I hope you've gotten together with Stevie Ray Vaughan and are tearin up Heavenly clouds!
    P. S. I really enjoyed your reaction, especially your initial shock 🎶😅🎶
    P. P. S. Hon, you really need to invest in a pair of headphones. They really add to a 3rd dimension of listening to music. Back in the day, we had massive speaker systems (Klipsch, JVC, Ohm Walsh, Harman Kardon, JBL) that blew our minds along with our ears. Putting together a state of the art stereo system back in the day was of paramount importance. Now, at the very least quality headphones. 🎧😎🎧😎🎧

    As a lifelong fan of Rory Gallagher, I think his best live album was one called Stagestruck. Every live show was brilliant back in the day, but for me, none can equal the night he played Rockpalast 1977, at The Grugenhalle, Germany. For anybody who enjoys Rorys' music and performances, this is a must see.

    The pop crowd from back then may not of heard of him but those who listened to rock n roll and FM had heard of him. "Take What I Want" was a really good song of his.

    Set up from this video ..73 - 77 Bass: Gerry McAvoy, Drums: Rod de'Ath, Piano: Lou Martin. Gerry McAvoy was playing with Rory from 71 - 92. Rory formed the legendary band The Taste in 1966. Later just named Taste. Split up in 1970. From that period I recommend Blister on the Moon.. Please also listen to his acoustic material.. Fantastic.! Live albums; Live in Europe from 72 ..(Same year, Rory was awarded Guitar Player of the Year.?) Irish Tour 74.. One of the best live albums in any category ever. Incl a fantastic film documentry. Live album Stage Struck 1980. Just incredible raw hard Blues Rock guitar playing from his 3 Piece act with Ted McKenna on drums. Rory was also a fantastic Song Writer with beutiful lyrics, and he played several instruments excellently.

    Your reaction whilst the band played demonstrates exactly why I went to see him three times (never saw any other band more than once). Absolutely phenomenal concerts. Very sadly missed. RIP Rory.

    I was growing up with the music of the 60s and 70s, actually met these guys while they were taking a break from recording. Kicked a ball around, they were so genuine and down to earth.

    Rory was amazing. I had the joy of seeing him live in the UK back in 1980. He's the ultimate live performer that I've ever seen, and I've seen a few notable bands live in my time.
