The month before this concert, I saw Taste open for Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker, Steve Winwood & Rick Gretch aka Blind Faith and Taste stole the show the crowd went wild and kept beggin for encores. Clapton tried to regain the momentum when BF played by putting his guitar behind his neck to play the lead for Presence of the Lord but Rory et al were still in everyone's minds.
Hard work to play after The Taste!!
That sounds like a gigging suicide..
That must have been a tough pill to swallow for Clapton to watch Taste take what Cream did and expand upon it, especially right in front of his face! That's what they call getting "dunked on" here, a basketball reference. The fact that Clapton had to resort to those type of theatrics is very telling, it must have shaken him up a bit. Rory was a force of nature, for me he's the best all around English guitarist of that era, bar none. I like Peter Green for pure blues, but Rory could do it all.
Totally agree and just to say politely that Rory was Irish, not English.
@@michaelfinn1317 Yes, you're right, my slip up! I well knew that, too. Sorry about that!
21 years of age here and burning down the house!
It still boggles my mind, where the hell this guy actually came from...the drummer & bass player are superb too!
In 69 i had 17 yrs and i was there, after this performance the world changed for me completely.
+Lucas Onad Beautifully said man :)
Me too Lucas.
Lucky man
Rory was such a force , he had it all ,voice was amazing guitar was putty in his hands ,
And what a band taste was so on the ball and tight
At 20, Rory is already a natural, inspired, and motivating band leader
Cream were cool but this man was the "Creme de la Creme" of blues/rock guitar. RIP Rory.
Linda Jones Cream was the best, ever.
Rory was a virtuoso on the guitar !
Well said Linda!!
joey dunlop - i wonder if those “wankers” are as obsessed with transsexuals as you are?
Have you heard of Stan the man Webb? Rory is great. Chicken shack worth a listen. Different approach but good blues.
One of the most exceptional, yet humble guitar players of all time. Stagestruck, baby!
Hard to believe a little place like Ireland produced probably two of the greatest guitarist ever in Rory Gary Moore.
No it’s not.
Yes I agree the best two ever!!!!!!!! Wish they were still with us? Lucky to have their music❤️❤️❤️
Rory is one of my gods. I'll always remember him with respect and love
Everyone who knows of Rory Gallagher knows what a brilliant musician he was, but not enough praise have been given to all the players in Taste & the Rory Gallagher band, they were all top notch
james bradshaw exactly - Rory worked them pretty hard. All great players.
@@drewhamillband Hi Drew I fully agre with you, Rory was a hard working man, Rory like Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzy both men made the boysoin their bands far better players, been good just was not god enough, they had to be right at te top of their playing to be in those bands.
Yup a really tight little band.
Taste was Rory's best band FACT
He lived below me in Radcliffe Gardens
Saw Rory playing many times ! Nobody comes to his knees ! Rory miss You so much !
Taste will remain the greatest Blues-Rock band the mankind has ever known.
+Mohamed Almonajed see; Mayall/Bluesbreakers Live In London 1967 Featuring Peter Green, then get back to me!
Andy Thomas No one dares to doubt in Peter Green's musicianship either with the Blusbreakers or Fleetwood Mac!
If you've not heard of Rory Gallagher before(RIP) I envy you...you have so much to discover..
The King of cutting edge blues/rock guitar! Rory Gallagher Rocks some blues!!!
The bass guitar is right up there with the best of them too!
Drums are on time also! This band kicked ass! No doubt about it!
I would imagine that Blossom Toe’s drummer regretted lending his kit to John Wilson after seeing the way he battered the hell out of it - JW’s a great player!
Rory Gallagher is an underrated singer.
Man go pickup Rory Gallagher's Irish tour 74'
It will change the way you think about guitar.
He's a fucking master !
And Live in Europe too
Thank you Rory.......BEST FOR EVER..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RIP
I didn’t know they existed until now WTF I am amazed
I saw him in 1978, got to meet him briefly, super nice guy, no ego!
Lovin' all that flowing hair, Rory!!!!!!
Rory Gallagher , the legend ! 🎸🙏
Oh God!!!This is fantastic!!!Rory rules!!
I saw Rory in Cleveland in 1979. The drummer was Ted McKenna from the Sensational Alex Harvey Band. We picked our faces up at the door on the way out.
Haha- well put!
BAZINGA! Ted was a kickass drummer. Rory was Top 5 guitarist. If you can statisticalize best guitars.
Ted McKenna died on 19 January 2019, at the age of 68, of a hemorrhage during a routine operation for a hernia
I can believe it mate, Rory can make your ears dance, the master guitarist, pure genius ☘
@@theguvnor5964 a travesty, mate. Simple op and they fuckt it all up and now he's gone.
Saw him with Rory and later with MSG.. fabulous drummer.!!!
Do yourself a favour and listen again sometime to Assault Attack album by MSG. Ted and Chris G (both SAHB vets) , absolutely pummel their instruments. Fabulous rhythm section, great mix on that record. Bonnet on vocals. I call it the Scottish Record.. ha.
Schenker loved The Taste, and early solo Rory. He only mentions him sometimes. Scorpions and he had same European management, so toured together.
Cheers man..
He was the boldest of them all. R.I.P.
Gallagher still no 1 for me.
And I was in Bilzen that time. Still remember the good times! Thanks Rory.
Amid the despondent grapple of status quo on music came three minstrels who made music a life's work. Three blue collar (no pun intended) musicians who gave every performance a GRADATION OF THEIR SOULS. TASTE'S GOT AN EXQUISITE TASTE. To Rory, Richard and John, my respect and obeisance!!!
I think the phrase Rory was hunting for is "call and response." The essential connection for blues musicians.
Nothing to say ... It says it ALL..
Leño, Rosendo y Rory Gallagher for ever!! :)
Regards from Madrid (Spain)
Thank you Rory, rest in peace.
Excellent as always from Eire's finest. Always had good drummers
Rory Gallagher sadly never got the attention he really deserved. He is one of my favorite top 3 guitarist of all time. I think its funny his Strat actually had more paint on it in this video. Goes to show you how old this fucking video is. Amazing. God I wish I could have met him.
Just noticed that but it’s still badly worn and he’s only had it a few years at that stage
right on man; rory never sought fame, he truly was the last of the independents, was lucky to see him 1st at the isle of wight, if i remember right he played on friday, anyway, after seeing him they could've played abba or the tremeloes for the rest of the concert, wouldnt have made a freakin difference to me; rory needs no R&R HoF, he's in our hearts
Saw Rory numerous times in Belfast. Last one was the Taste farewell concert in the Ulster Hall, Belfast. He always gave 100% and the Troubles never deterred him from playing any venues in Ireland. Gone but not forgotten
A bit of trivia for Rory Gallagher fans- before Taste was formed, Rory played in a almost uniquely Irish phenomenon- a Showband! I think it was The Fontana Showband!! Never saw them (hated showbands!), but had the great good fortune to see several incarnations of Mr.Gallagher`s genius!!! Happy days!
Brilliant live. Had the great fortune to see him on several occasions including the live recording at The marquee. Hard to believe he was an early influence on Adam Ant.
He was a huge influence on Glenn Tipton of Judas Priest also, mate! Glenn said in interview, he used to go as often as possible to watch Rory up close and he started using the treble booster in the pre Priest days as a result..
McCracken is really good bassist
21 years of age, and already an unbreakable mould was set. Taste existed because super talented people stick together, their biofields are welded together as they play together. Superb footage and nicely shot on 16mm/brilliantly edited.
Rory was the real cream of the crop!
FANTASTIQUE !
Okay this is old out of date video, but that aside, it really cooks ! Guitar drums bass trio OUTSTANDING ! Always, huge with his fans, Rory was a much bigger star and master that he is given credit for in the history of music.
Thanks for the post. Watching Rory never gets old.
@ sternumagnum.......I still adore the Taste albums, so innovative. First time I'd heard Rory and that was it. Well over 40 years now (for me) of loving everything he did. I mentioned that particular album as I have never seen it anywhere else, cool to hear you have it. And to think Rory was 18 when they formed in '66, a truly phenomenal artist. Cheers from Australia.
Magic!!
Linda Jones have you heard Taste Live at the Isle of Wight? great album.
I hate these “I saw blah blah blah” comments, but I saw Taste in 69 at the Marquee and loved ‘em. They were stupendous. That first album was in every guitar player’s house back then, along with Freddie King, and Cream’s debut.
The best band ever!!
A year before Cream I 1966 Taste was the first real rock power trio.
+paul levine Rubbish! Get your dates right. They were inspired by Cream when they started. Their version of Spoonful 'Live' from '67 is lifted from The Cream version...wholesale!
+Andy Thomas You just seem to be a troll , so go fuck yourself.
+Andy Thomas Not a troll. But someone who saw Taste more times than I care to remember between 1968-69. What I don't need is a history lesson from you OK?
paul levine he's actually right. Mostly ever rock n' roll blues band where inspired by Cream. When they formed Hendrix wanted to play with them, Grand Funk Railroad's first album cover looks exactly like Creams and even did a song that cream covered in said album and Bonham said that "there are only two rock drummers today, me and Ginger Baker". Taste, Experience, Zeppelin and Sabbath were the heaviest, but Cream was the most precise and gifted.
Andy Thomas don't worry, you're right. Cream was the best ever. Taste has an amazing guitarist and drummer but Cream has all three.
F king amazing!
, rip hero, miss your music since 1995, you were special
I have to go through life knowing I never saw them .I feel low..
Right on, saw Rory play the same sequence in Darmstadt, Germany, in early 1970. Rory regularly used to sweep the floor with the bands he opened up for, be it deep purple. zz top, aerosmith. blind faith, Fleetwood mac, what-and whoever, he was so much more than just a guitar player-he was the GOD-that's straight from the perforated brain of an atheist. Rory is THE DRUG. Can't even listen to anyone else.
It was about this time that I saw taste , in saint colmans hall, newry.
Brilliant,thanks for sharing this.
I saw Taste play at the Cream farewell gig in November 68,my first ever concert,tbh,I was too hyped up about seeing the Cream to be bothered about Taste but I now wish I'd given them more attention,Rory is up there with the best of em.
True communion x Always x
At 14 I bought the first Taste album right after it came along with the first Cactus album. Funny thing is I only bought them because I thought the covers looked cool. lol. What a day that was!

Set list:
01- Blister On The Moon
02-Sugar Mama
thanks for sharing
you can see the famous Range Master Treble Booster sitting on top of the vox ac30! I've always read that everybody used those, but this is the first time I ever remember seeing one. a darn shame the guitar isn't mixed a bit louder, but what I can hear sounds good. I wonder if the big Italian amps were on?
I am guessing those amps were for another act. I was thinking the same thing about the rangemaster. I didn't know they were so big. It was said he later put it inside the amp
Back in a time when people could actually play their instruments,Superb playing from all three.
Every time i saw Rory he had a '63 Fender Concert or some other fender combo..Believe he liked crankin' the heck out of a smaller wattage amp!! I do too!
so so good . miss you x
Gran gruppo😊
Awesome i'm from Bilzen, Belgium. I never knew Rory played here... Sadly enough I was just a sperm in '69.
Amazing!
The unmistakable tone.
lucas onad ditto i saw them in nottingham about 69 loved rory ever since
Rory's got a great memory. It's a challenge to sing those lyrics infallibly. You have to make those words second nature to you.
eventhought in talking conversation ... so charismatic _ he's Rory ✌️ 🌹, ☕☕ ? 😊
I didnt know he kicked this much ass. This band is great
Think it was shortly after they both played the Isle of Wight Festival 1970, where Jimi seems to have been most impressed with The Man's performance
Love me sum good three piece bands man
Nice Side burns!
den bedste100.Rory 👌🎸
aaaah in the student's union Belfast on a Friday night....!!
It's hard to believe there's not a single video showing Rory on alto sax
There is on the beat club he's plays sax on its happened before it'll happen again
@@elliotwright8996 cool I'll look for it
The solo melted my face... :(
*sad panda*
Better late than never, even tho' he's no longer with us. This is the track that got me into Rory, still have the vinyl LP. Enjoy.:-)
There's an even better performance of this song -hard to believe, I know- from live at the Marquee, 1968.
The only upload on RUclips (the thumbnail shows a shamrock on a black background) has the whole hour-long gig, but a commenter has 'Blister on the Moon' and several others timestamped.
That's very good also the one live at the Isle of wight is very good too
Goddamn.
_Goddamn_.
This band could kick ass, as good as Cream, Hendrix. John Wilson was the right drummer for Rory as was Richard on Bass, sadly they never achieved what they deserved as Taste.
If Hendrix had Mitch Mitchell, Gallagher had John fuckin' Wilson!
When Jimmy Hendrix was asked..."how does it feel to be the best guitar player in the world...? Jimmy replied..."I don't know, ask Rory Gallagher."
true story
Do you have any sources?. I have been trying to find it, but the only source I found was an interview, and Jimmy's answer was: "...I'm the best guitar player on this chair"
Juan Tobar .......yes, I've seen that particular interview several times and to the best of my knowledge, that is the *only* interview on record. This story had been doing the rounds forever with Jimi citing a whole array of "better" guitarists and while the Rory thing is cited as fact, there has never been any proof of it. I think it's just taken on a life of its own.
Juan Tobar You are talking about the Dick Cavett show. Dick said to Jimi : how does it feel to be the best guitar player in the world and Jimi replied how about the best in this chair. Jimi has been known to say he thought Terry Kath of Chicago was better than him.
Jimi
Blossom Toes was another band, Taste was borrowing their drums on this gig.
So real
I went to the College of Woster in Wooster, OH. That'w where I heard of Rory. I guess it was close enough to Cleveland. Rory never played there, but Brian Auger did - another Cleveland favorite. As Chrisse Hynde said, in another context - "Way to go O-Hi-O!"
Played so well he distracted the sound guy
*in my best Irish accent*
"...and on drums, Mr, Jesus Goldstein. How 'bout a round applause!..."
i sense some Pink Floyd influence on this rare treat by Rory & the Lads! Just incredible improvisation and raw talent fused together.
Wow, The Battle of the bogside was a few days before this.
But this proves that there is more to Ireland than the troubles.
@Linda Jones, me too, same LP from that series. Ah, memories!.. :-)
I like the beep at the end
I think I saw McCracken's face for a moment there at 8:55. Must have been an edit mistake.
those DAVOLI cabins in the back ...
power trio, nuff said
True.
sogar noch besser als in den 1970igern
Musicians who can keep the bottom or meander the outskirts of sound.
A 1969 interview shortly after Woodstock:
Interviewer: So Jimi, what's it like to be the best guitarist in the world?
Jimi Hendrix: I dunno, ask Rory Gallagher.
Not true
