Unfortunately you got a bad sound version of this number but its still great. I only saw him live once in about 1974 in a small concert hall. His raport with the crowd was amazing. He just exuded charisma of the most honest kind. He was there for us instead of us there for him. He was that great to the crowd. Fan of the man first and music second.
No one but no one better live than Rory. The maestro, phenomenal on stage,like lightning in a bottle. Off it,the most humble modest guy you could ever meet.Was lucky to see him play 3 times, wonderful performer, Rory G was the man.Sadly missed but his genius lives on☘
And the sad thing is ( for me ) that I didn’t even know who he was untill 2 months ago 🥲 but now I’m getting to share my reactions with all of us here , more to come next week 😊
@@alan-reacts65 oh Alan...you have so much pleasure in store! Had the pleasure of seeing him live in Glasgow when I was a teen. Front row seats...bliss!
Rory Gallagher, his battered old strat, and an audience. It doesn't get much better. Oh; and accompanied brilliantly by Gerry McEvoy; who played with Rory for many years. Check out anything from his "Irish Tour 74"; or in fact, anything live by Rory. Playing live really is Rory Gallagher let's fly the real deal.
Rory was one of my all time favourite guitar players. He didn't use pedals or sound effects, all the sound came from his fingers. My other all time favourite is Johnny Winter, you should check out his version of Jumping Jack Flash on Whistle Test 1974, or his version of Highway 61 Revisited Live ruclips.net/video/COYkTX7dGLA/видео.html Love the reactions Buddy it up.
Saw him several times - a life force - sell out gigs - his last concerts 4 nights in the Olympia theatre Dublin, it is still a miracle that the building is still standing, rocked to the foundation’s
I don't know if there was any better than Rory. He sure gave you your money's worth, and with his band, you just couldn't find better raw rock and roll. A shame, but not many even knew of him!
I think his legacy is established , time and honestly channels like mine and many more who are much much bigger , keep his music going to a newer audience 😎
@@alan-reacts65 Thanks Alan, being 70 now and busy with Jesus, I completely forgot about him. He was always one of my favorite live acts. Get to know Jesus today if you don't already, he'll save you for all eternity my friend!!
I can’t wait for the tracks I haven’t heard that I’m reacting to and posting from the 21st ,, “laundromat “ “ walk on hot coals “ .. heads up 😎 what would you pick bud ?
Great reaction, looking forward to following you on your Rory journey! A few suggestions...

I’ve done several reactions , check out the playlist .. I only heard of fully when I heard this track ! So it was my loss and I suspect millions upon millions of others also !
@@alan-reacts65 lovin the channel. The mans revered here in ireland. A million miles away from his live irish tour 74 is a must. He is finally being brought out of the shadows by the likes of yourself.
If you’d like that I will do it .. look out for Laundromat this week and tell me what you think of the new format ? I think it’s as good as I’ve got for audio , sync and video sound .. oh and a great song 😊👍
I’m trying to work with my Mac, I’ve been onto apple to get an answer , I hope the sound wasn’t to bad to spoil your listening , I’m working on it to get the sound resolved 😌👍
Kieth I swear for some reason even though I knew that and I’ve lived and served with Amazing Irish folks , been to weddings outside Dublin .. I still become a bumbling idiot with a Rory reaction 😳😊 it won’t slip again my friend 😎👍
Loved Rory Gallagher, esp. the song "Laundromat". But (as many other good (blues) artists such as Gary Moore) died too soon. If you like the blues, then you should watch Joe Bonamassa. Watch *_"I'd rather go blind"_* (live in Amsterdam) Bonamassa & Beth Hart: ruclips.net/video/UEHwO_UEp7A/видео.html&ab_channel=HartAndBonamassa
Greetings from Ireland Alan. Rory has a back catalogue second to none. He started off in the early 60s with the Fontana Showband from Cork. Showbands were an irish phenomenon.They usually had around 8 members with a full brass section. They played in ballrooms packed with up to 3000 people for hours on end playing everything from Irish traditional to country and rock and roll! Check out Rory playing the old Larry Williams track slow down with the Fontana in about 1964.
@@FenderTele I used to own a massive collection of the Mersey beat magazines I bought them off a collector 😊 so yep it will make perfect sense . Someone stole my misprinted HELP album original when I was in the Army ,, gutted 🥲
@@alan-reacts65 it's a, pity about all those early magazines! Years ago I was in Liverpool on a stag night, and I was out on the Saturday morning I couldn't face breakfast!! I took a walk and discovered a charity shop with a clutch of 45s,all obscure merseybeat! Rory Storm and the Hurricanes, Sonny Webb And the Cascades and farons flamingos all on oriole! Looking back it was the best hangover I've ever had and I still have them to this day!
@@FenderTele now that’s hangover to never forget those are rare records ! Good spot 😀 considering you were in full sorry for yourself mode 🤨😂👍 the memories are priceless though 😎

Thank you for sharing your memories and thoughts , pinned it , because it captures what I hope I would have experienced 😊👍
Rory was absolutely fantastic-he and the guitar were one and together they created magic.
Again and again and again !!!
It doesn't get any better than Rory Gallagher!
I can’t wait to post my next reaction , so many tracks to pick from , that I haven’t heard yet ! 🙂
True! Can't improve on perfection!
@@anniebeeee yup 👍
A guitarist's guitarist. So fluid and natural.

He certainly makes me rue the loss of genuine rock replaced by woke politicised “ pop stars “
They don't breed them like this anymore! That's for sure. Gone at 46! Really a loss to music
It really was 😞
Only One..RoRy..nothing better than This man..Live..We miss him..Sorely🍀🎶🎸

You my friend have a recommendation I can’t not follow 😎👍 coming soon
Rory was fantastic up there with the best no doubt about it.
I think As I look at more tracks ( will be reactions ) I’m sure I will 100% agree 😊👍
You should try 'Shinkicker' live at Montreux.
My list grows and it’s awesome , thank you I will 👍
This performance alone is proof that Rory is THE GOAT
For sure he’s thier 😎🔥👍
Saw him several times - a life force - sell out gigs - his last concerts 4 nights in the Olympia theatre Dublin, it is still a miracle that the building is still standing, rocked to the foundation’s
Your one the few people who can actually ever listen to a song and remember the live experience 😊👍

One of the few if not only guitar player I have seen grab the guitar string up the neck and pull it to bend the notes. He was truly one of a kind
Me too 😎👍
Slash and Brian May (amongst others) have cited Rory as an influence on their music...it doesn't come better that!
I can’t wait for the tracks I haven’t heard that I’m reacting to and posting from the 21st ,, “laundromat “ “ walk on hot coals “ .. heads up 😎 what would you pick bud ?
High praise indeed , and deserved 100%
Anything live! His studio albums are good, but he is best heard (and seen) live!🎸🎸
@@pegbag12 live is my preferred 👍
RORY ES UNICO, NADIE COMO EL NUNCA MAS, UNA PENA SU PARTIDA TAN JOVEN.... POR SIEMPRE RORY GALLAGHER!

You're gonna need a lot of time to go thru all Rory's music, it's a lot of the finest and diverse you will know!
I’m looking forward to it all 😊👍
I was fortunate enough to see Rory live in 1973 at the old Mosque in Richmond , Va., live is most awesome!!!
I never even knew him until I started this channel . And it’s a deep regret ☺️
Never really knew of Him .....
MY LOSS !!
I’ve done several reactions , check out the playlist .. I only heard of fully when I heard this track ! So it was my loss and I suspect millions upon millions of others also !
He played rythm and lead together.
He was so talented it’s almost to true to believe but of course we can see and here it ! Thanks to the internet 😊
@@alan-reacts65 lovin the channel. The mans revered here in ireland. A million miles away from his live irish tour 74 is a must. He is finally being brought out of the shadows by the likes of yourself.
@@timheavyable “ A million miles away “ is for sure my next visit to R G 😊👍
Please do this reaction a second time to fix the audio! It will be perfect then!
If you’d like that I will do it .. look out for Laundromat this week and tell me what you think of the new format ? I think it’s as good as I’ve got for audio , sync and video sound .. oh and a great song 😊👍
@@alan-reacts65 Laundromat is a killer tune!
What a guitarist , from blues inspired rock to his folky acoustic tracks . Cool reaction though the sound was very crackly at times.

@@alan-reacts65 no problems mate, didn't ruin anything. Keep up the good work, enjoying your reactions
@@pauldocmusic2411 😊👍
Rory Gallagher is spetacular
I’m just learning that truth 😊👍
Rory was on fire that night.
Indeed 👍😎
There's so much Rory for you to explore. His catalogue is vast, diverse and thoroughly sublime. Keep on...
Look out for next weeks post 😎😉
@@alan-reacts65 Looking forward and flapping my wings!
Free to fly as you should be 😊
Listen to Rory’s live song, He plays a 3S19 Coral electric sitar that he rented from Pete Townsend. Astonishing.
I will for sure 👌 😊👍 thank you 🙏🏻
Philby is the song.
Aaah Rory ...simple The Best !
So much talent
Sorry, the song is
Thank You Rory
I say that to my self when I’m listening 😊👍
Just to say, we don't pronounce the second 'g' in Gallagher in Ireland. Great reaction. 👍

Check it out against the later version, the 1964 solo is almost merseybeat if that makes sense and the vocals are Rory all the way.!
