    How in the hell did I miss this guy for so many years? Fantastic musician! I'm 76 years old and have earned the right to say: better late than NEVER! Hope I can listen to Rory for another 20 years! Always so nice in your twilight years to discover a new writer - or, in this case, a great musician! Rock on, Rory!✌

      Yeah, about 2 years ago, me and some other dude were writing comments back and forth about tbe bass players' wide stance.
      Me, him, and some other dudes kept communicating every few weeks weeks about him "Sporting a wide stance" Anyway, every now and then, me and these other dudes also check in with each other and verify our "Wide Stance "
      It's really funny.

    The greatest live guitarist of all time. Had the privilege of seeing him live twice. One was an acoustic set in our hometown of Cork. I was 11 years of age and Rory spotted me and my brother in the front row and just headed towards us midsong. I'll never forget it. A hero.

    Rory came to my university in the early/mid 1980's. I was studying aeronautical operations at San Jose State University. My neighbor mentioned that a blues guitarist, Rory Gallagher, was going to be playing on campus, so we got tickets. Man, that was one of the greatest, most energetic blues jams I've ever had the pleasure of hearing. It was great. Like many blues musicians, they really come to life while playing live, in concert, and Rory was certainly no exception. His live recordings are among the great recordings in my collection. He is missed. Thanks for all you gave us Rory, for you really did give us everything you had.
