I have said this many times. I lost my wife suddenly and tragically several years ago, and in those early days, sitting at a bar eating dinner alone, this song described exactly how I felt. I was a million miles away at the same time watching other people having a good time and i was wondering how can they be so happy while my world is so empty. It is as if Rory wrote this song for me all those years ago. Thanks so much for doing this song. The live version off the Irish Tour 74' album is epic. Rory was much better live than in the studio.
Delighted to hear Rory here. He was regarded as one of the greatest blues guitists of the era and was born 8 miles from my home town in Donegal. I met him once when I was too young to appreciate who I was talking to. He was a powerhouse live, I was lucky enough to see him several times during the 80s.
Yaaa! Rory came to Cornwall quite a few times ! Alas i was a bit young to see him live ! My older Brother reminds me so often ! Loads of live footage on "The Old Grey Whistle Test " when the BBC did a good job ! Cheers !
l saw Rory a few times in the early 70s and he's one of the few electric guitarists who is as good on acoustic guitar as electric. So many of the people named as great guitarists are very good as acoustic players which makes me question the genius of so many of the supposed greats. For me the best of all is Richard Thompson, but Rory is hot on his heels.
Giving credit where credit is due: Rory Gallagher - vocals, guitars, sax Gerry McAvoy - bass Lou Martin - keyboards Rod de’Ath - drums Thanks for playing this, Rory and his bandmate’s music has been a favorite mine for over 50 years. As good as his studio recordings are, his live shows were even better.
I'm blown away that you're listening to this! The album it is from, Tatoo, was never off my turntable in the mid '70s, when I was in my mid teens. Tune from the Irish bluesman!
Fabulous! So glad you finally got to Rory. Rory was the songwriter, the vocalist and the guitarist. This song is actually about depression-Rory suffered from it most of his life. Its about being disconnected from the world around you as it flows around you, recognizing that you are on the outside looking in. He was an amazing artist who poured his heart into every piece he played. As others have mentioned, you need to review him in a live performance, because he came alive on a stage in a way few performers do. The 1979 Shadow Play is an example of his energy in a live performance, but since this was an encore at the end of a performance, not the best vocals by that point of the show. The 1979 Rock Goes to College has great performances-Do You Read Me is excellent and shows off a few of his mad guitar skills.
I always related to this song on tour just like "Turn the Page". The feelings are real at the end of the night after the show is done. You go back to your hotel room and you're a million miles from YOUR bed. The road is a blast, but it can be a very lonely place when you aren't distracted. Those drives are something else. PLEASE do his Shadow Play live in '79! I'm SO GLAD you finally found Rory!!! Huge influence on my playing! Learn "Bad Penny" as a great lesson! Love y'all!
I was lucky enough to see Rory's former band Taste at Woburn Abbey in 1968. I was 16 years old, and to this day it remains the greatest live gig I ever saw. Over the next few years I took every opportunity I could to see Rory play live. So sorry that we could not see how his musicianship would have developed in his later years. Rip Rory.
@@scottmeeks662 yeah I read aninterview with Alex a few years ago , and he talked about supporting Rory and then Rory supporting them . Alex had alot of admiration for Rory.
Rory Gallagher is a Phenom on guitar. Everyone should check him out live on RUclips. Some say in his prime he was the best guitarist in the world. I agree.
Rory was never interested in Rock or Pop status. He just loved music. Inspired by the old bluesmen. A true gem, RIP Rory - Tattoo'd Lady is my all time favorite by him, the Irish Tour version
Tatood lady is one of my favorites also. Philby and Shadow Play are also on my top 50 from this masterful guitarist. He was so underrated as a guitarist. Rory’s voice was magic so much soul and feelings in his work. I miss him so much.
Rory Gallagher's "Live @ Montreux" Music Festival in Switzerland in 1979 is worth watching. Amazing energy, especially on the song "Shadow Play". Hopefully it's makes a live stream someday.
Irish Rory Gallagher was one of the best. A humble man who lived to write, sing, and play music on his beat up strat. Watch the live version from the Irish Tour 1974. You need to see him to fully get him.
Ive come across Rory Gallagher lps a few times in my crate digging, and never played any of them, just sold them as is my business...listening to just this one song though I can see why he is so admirred.
Had the privilege of seeing Rory twice; the City Hall Cork 1st January 1984 and The Town & Country Club London, 28th December 1990. Astonishing guitar player. Best heard live - he has 3 classic live albums.
Well spotted Lex, Every member of the band was a star performer. I last saw Rory live in Punchestown in 1982 and Phil Lynott ended up playing bass with him that day. PS in Ireland the second G of Gallagher isn't pronounced so the name sounds like gallaher.
Check out the Irish Tour 74 version, it's THE definitive version of this song (as well as for Tattooed Lady, by the way...). As a rule of thumb, use only Rory's live performances, since he really was a stage artist, with incredible energy.
I'd heard "OF" Rory Gallagher early in my days (19 or 20) because Vivian Campbell (Dio's guitarist) mentioned him in a guitar instructional video. It wasn't until I was in my 40's until I actually heard him play though. I had run across a copy of "The Irish Tour" film and decided to get some blues "culture". I was blown away! If you two have a couple hours someday you should watch that video; not only does it have some amazing live performances but there's a lot of cool backstage and Irish cultural material there, including some sad scenes that reflect "The troubles" that Northern Ireland went through, with barbed wire barricades sometimes visible and a truck of armed British soldiers driving by at one point. Rory was one of the few performers that would play in N. Ireland at the time, due to the danger. Rory is famous for being a "blues" man but if you dig into his catalog, you'll find out that there's not many musical styles that he didn't try his hand at; Rock, blues, country, folk, pop, metal ("Moonchild" is metal as f**k) he even did a song called "Signals" that borders on New Wave/Post Punk.
RUclips has a lot of Rory Gallagher clips, here's the song you just reviewed in a clip from "The Irish Tour" film. Same song with a few differences in how it is performed. ruclips.net/video/RxiEMpcI83E/видео.html
Thank you for playing Rory Gallagher - I'm an old gray dawg in my 70s, and this took me back to my sometimes wild youth. Great blues guitarist, hope you give him another go - CRADLE ROCK is a great tune to play.
love the way lex just can't stop that smile spreading across her face whenever she's listening to good music. She has great taste. And every song Brad just sits there as though he's watching paint dry.
Rory’s ‘74 Irish Tour version is the absolute classic rendition of this song, he slowed it down, made it more soulful and his guitar work was first class and a little more electric if that makes sense.
Rory Gallagher was the most underrated guitar player in rock and blues. He's influenced the best in the business. Even Jimmi Hendrix once said in an interview, when asked who's the best guitar player in the world is, "Just ask Rory Gallagher."
@@steveo6631 Yeah, these "ask so-and-so" stories come up all the time. That said, maybe Jimmi should have said it about Rory, eh? haha I'm pretty impressed.
We named our dog after Rory! My favourite guitar player. This is a great song whether you are listening to the live or studio versions. Wonderful music.
So happy, that you introducesed my bluesrock hero from the 70's. I want to give you one recomandation, you have to listen this live. "Rory Gallagher Irish tour '74"!
"Calling Card," "Bad Penny," or "Shadow Play" in their live versions would bring you the raw, unchained Rory Gallagher that came out on stage. Try some!
First group I ever saw at Cobo Hall in Detroit. Rory opened for KISS (It was the 1970's). Rory Gallagher is the choice of most top rock guitarists as THEIR top guitarist! His singing and songwriting skills match his playing ability. One of the people you can play ANY song in his catalog and be satisfied. May I suggest 'Country Mile' next?
Rory was the real deal. Fortunate to have seen him in Chicago. The break for the band consisted of Rory pulling a bar stool on stage and jamming solo on his acoustic guitar.
Rory. One of the most underrated musicians by the general public. But if you ask musicians he is very well known by the rock generation. Brian May of Queen, Alex Lifeson from Rush among those that have great things to say. Please check out more tunes from him.
Rory was one of the greatest guitar soloist in rock and blues history but here he decided to leave the piano on the front. But listen to "Cradle Rock" and you'll hear what a sound cyclone is. However, "A Million Miles Away" is one of the most moving song ever written.
Way back in 1972, my buddies and I bought tickets to see our then favorite band, Deep Purple in Southern California, at the old San Bernardino Swing Auditorium. Rory Gallagher was the opening act. We were so blown away by his performance that we were all calling for encores. We got 2 encores and were fast becoming Rory fans. No disrespect to DP, but Rory Gallagher totally stole the show.
Oh Lex, you get it every time! And you choose so many songs from my life. Tell me though, what has it got to take to even see a flicker of enjoyment of the music in Brad???
He enjoys it in a different way. You got to respect that. Dream Theater, Sammy Hagar and Ted Nugent were all in his top five. He likes Southern Rock, Sound Garden , Alice in Chains and lots more. Check out older reactions.
@@ssRocker-nn3tp I've watched them all and been a subscriber for a couple of years. Ok, there are some that have ignited a spark, but most are just frowning at the screen. Meanwhile, Lex is whooping and jigging away beside him. 😄
@@mattdorrell9567 I know. lex is more enthusiastic. But compared to some months ago, Brad has grown in liking more. You got to admid that. He also likes Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Van Halen and Thin Lizzy.
Love Rory, saw him many times in the 70’s and 80’s you gotta do Tattoo’d Lady from the recently issued check shirt wizard live album, you will not regret this gem 😊
The one and only Rory Gallagher - 'high energy blues'!!! And he could ROCK! Please dig deeper into this artist, lots of great suggestions in the comments. For pure blues, check out his What In The World - BBC Sessions (live audio). He was also brilliant acoustic player.
The greatest complement to have been given this mans skill was to have Jimmy Hendrix pay deference to Rory's playing. The live version adds another layer to A Million Miles Away a true blues classic. Needing and wanting to join into the cheerful environment that surrounds you, but the unexplainable blues you grapple with prevents this.

You have nothing whatsoever to do with him. If he was like you he’d be back there with you. His last wish would be that. I don’t blame him.
@@downburst1 ok,
One of the greatest, the Rock and Hall doent deserve Rory,
Please don't stop here with Rory Gallagher, he's Ireland's finest, up there with all the greats, Hendrix, SRV et al.
Finally you got to Rory 💜

Thanks for playing this, Rory and his bandmate’s music has been a favorite mine for over 50 years.
As good as his studio recordings are, his live shows were even better.
I think Rory should have kept playing with Lou Martin and Rod de'Ath. That foursome with Gerry McAvoy was his best.
I'm blown away that you're listening to this! The album it is from, Tatoo, was never off my turntable in the mid '70s, when I was in my mid teens. Tune from the Irish bluesman!
I won a stream and picked this as the starting song rory is one of my all time favs! I'm going to try hard to get more of him on here
@@mellie7583 I know it's one of his more.popular ones but get bad penny!
Rory’s live version of “Shinkicker” gets me every time. The greatest blues guitar player of his time.
Raw power.
Criminally underrated/lesser known in the US. Rory is a legend.
Fabulous! So glad you finally got to Rory. Rory was the songwriter, the vocalist and the guitarist. This song is actually about depression-Rory suffered from it most of his life.

I was going to say they need to listen to him live.
WOW. Rory Gallagher. He should be part of everyone's musical education. Thanks.
Rory combined the gift of Irish storytelling with the Blues, he’s beloved!

It just doesn't get any better than Rory Gallagher!
For music, yes. For cartoons: it doesn't get any better than Foghorn Leghorn.
@@solojohno1 I agree with you a 100%, I grew up watching Foghorn Leghorn and still watch him when I can. You have a great day my friend.

Now you’re gettin’ into the good stuff.
I'd never heard of Rory in 1982 when he opened for Rush on the Signals tour. My mind was blown by his energy and ability .
Years earlier, Rush opened for Rory. They just repaid a friend a favor.
@@scottmeeks662 yeah I read aninterview with Alex a few years ago , and he talked about supporting Rory and then Rory supporting them . Alex had alot of admiration for Rory.
One of my favorites. He was a great live musician.
Always best watchin Rory live...it really helps ...the passion is amazing it brings so much to the whole of Rory thing to life
Wow....Rory Gallagher???? I'm impressed!!!!
Rory plays sax on this one, too.
RIP Rory, Rod, and Lou. Thank You!
Rory was such a great human.
Worked summer job in Cork Airport and met him twice,a gentleman of the highest order !!!
"Enthusiastically sad".....nice. That is a great description of much of RG's work, and blues in general.
I've never heard a single song by this dude, so I've got some "new" albums to check out. 😁🎸 Yay!
Check out “Ghost Blues”. A documentary about him from 2010.
@@Dreyno I def will, thanks for the tip
Check out Irish Tour '74.
One of the finest live albums ever recorded.
Rory. The Master.
Rory truly is a vibe. I know people who don’t feel it but those of us who do, really do!
One of the greatest Irish guitarist and blues singer / songwriter got some of his albums love his music
This is one of Rorys classics the man was the best

Rory's guitar on this is special. One of my favourites.
One of my favourite Rory numbers. Thanks for checking it out.
You should listen/watch some of his live shows.
I was fortunate to see him play a couple of times.
I'm jealous. All we had was vinyl, and played it to death
MORE RORY PLEASE
I love this song...good choice
The Irish Clapton. His early stuff with his band "Taste" is bomb as all get out.
Please do Shadow play, Philby, moonchild. Finally you 've found Rory!!!
Our you awake yet

Truly one of my guitar heroes since my youth.
Checking out Rory Gallagher.Yes! A really talented band. Oh, he just sitting in the bar... Good reaction, guys.

Rory Gallagher is the singer and guitar player
You have to see a live version of shadow play, you will see that he was a hero of the people.
