That bass player is a monster. Power stanced his way through the whole song while holding the rhythm. Crazy good.
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.
He’s like that in almost every video I’ve ever seen of Rory. Amazing energy.
@@wallagain8782 guy still plays the same way to this day, there’s live performances of him on RUclips from not too long ago
That,s Gerry on bass.
@@chesterlee6508 he is sporting quite the wide stance
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!✌
Great! It’s not the age, is the attitude! Music keeps the brain alive. I wish you many years of good vibrations !
@@andrewme9720 Andrea, thank you for your good wishes - much appreciated! I'm still kickin' - and listening to Rory Gallagher. Stay safe!✌
I KNOW! What was I doing that i missed him, too! Enjoying!
Hey Jim, isn’t it great we can still discover new things? Rock on!
@@markthomsen51 Mark, man you sure got that right!😃 Can't believe I missed this guy all these years. Imagine... and here's me thinking I'm hip!😱
The energy of this performance would power Ireland for a year.
So true
😂😂😂😂👍👍👍👍👍
absolutely true, insane energy!
It was in Montreux, Switzerland...
contagious aswell
Rory dropped his pick while shaking hands, and a guy in the audience fetched in on the floor and gave it back to him 1:45. True rock attitude!
Wow, i've never noticed this in 13 years i watch this show 😄
Well spotted. No other guitarist expended more energy on stage. He left it all out there for his fans. Legend.
Haha. I thought that guy was awkwardly trying to get a handshake hahaha
Jimi hendrix favorite guitarist
He’s security
Guitar on a lead, playing on the blind, singing , no ear monitors , mixing it with the crowd , racing over and back.... Phew!! Rory was a Beast . RIP Legend . 🙏🙏
hes using wedges
I was lucky enough to see Rory many moons ago, he never stopped moving
@@UncleBen67 Wow, lucky you for sure👍👍
How did he die? I was led here by a j.mascis interview.
@@jedhatcher252 Alcohol, liver transplant , complications , contracted MRSA Virus and sadly was taken. 😢😢
You can feel how much he loves what he's doing. That's magic.
True
Yeah, and you can also see how much he is feeling all of the painkillers that he takes which ultimately led to his liver failure.
This video will give you the chills for 10 minutes and 38 seconds!
Every time I watch it!!
And forever
I've never seen anyone as high on music as Rory is here, and he takes the entire crowd with him on his journey. What a gift this man was...
Nobody enjoyed performing more than Rory. Every single show this man gave 100% commitment to his craft. A wonderful artist and fine human being.
Yea like Angus
Had the fortune to grow up with Rory performing in the shite that was Ireland,saw him several times my total hero still,love the purity
i dont know, the bas player looks pretty delighted also!
Hug de l apache
The Irish love to party & live music 🎵
No security guys, no star system, pure authenticity! RIP lovely Rory, great child of Ireland!
What? Are you serious? There are security guys, they are dressed just like everybody else. Can you not see them holding people back? Are we even watching the same video?
@@fabianjara9186 yeah but at points rory just runs past them
He makes me proud to be 100 percent Irish!
The security guys are no getting affraid people,
Im proud of being 100x100 galician but that's not the point i think
@@tommulhall3865 makes me proud to be a little Irish.
How is Gerry McAvoy holding the bass lines together
Another underrated fantastic musiscan
What a fantastic band
I used to live in the same street as Gerry McAvoy in northern ireland, great fun guy.
Yup, he is also sporting a wide stance
@@bigsky3072
Correct
I think it helped when he was belting out the riffs
I went to ballyshannon Ireland in 2016 for the tribute concert
I got I'll and couldn't get to the big Top
It will have to wait until I save up and do it again
@@neilangus4401 i hope the bass player sports a wide stance there also.
@@girvinbuick8117 was he sporting a wide stance?
I guess there's something to be said for bands that can play to sold out arenas and shit like that, but to me Rory and his band are the absolute embodiment of rock music. No fancy stage props, no gimmicks, just pure raw energy and face-melting talent.
No fancy Gimmicks? his hair and jump around the stage is all a gimmick for his amazing guitar playing.
No harm in a good gimmick when there is awesome talent above it.
💯 I’m just now finding Rory. And this is what rock and roll looks like. Just pure and magic.
@@bighands69 Rory NEVER used any gimmicks like today's GARBAGE. Unless You could call His Vox AC30 and Rangemaster trebel boost a 'gimmick'. He was pure and and THE BEST EVER.
@@bighands69 He could not have played that type of music exactly, sitting on a stool.
Bighands69 the long hair ain't no gimmick to me. That's what the reality of the greatest rockers IS
I am 67 And I still love him bass guitars is awesome Rory you have kept me awake many nights you are freaking beautiful I will never get tired listen to you ❤❤❤❤❤
Did you Rory transferred all his talent to someone that fine tuned it and also have an excellent voice?
No?
Search out Samantha Fish, you will not be disappointed
im only 14 and oh my lord 😍😍😍
Ο Ιρλανδός ανεπαναληπτος μουσικός!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Don't get tired of watching this video, this is top quality, top performer, top real (no playback) with all the right flaws at the right time: the voice while he jumps, the guitar when he gets close to the fans and they touch it/him (without him complaining or making a face), you can feel the joy in playing/singing to people without vanity, what a
GENIUS!!!
Ele fazia por amor a música
That was hands down one of the best performances I've ever seen. Rory is the pinnacle of musical talent. Most acts today cannot hold a candle to this level of musicianship and stage presence.
Rory was burning up. Amazing energy, he just can't stand still. Wow! Great video. Thanks for uploading.
What's up with the hall of fame scenario
You're not wrong.
How true that is
Ha ha don't forget he played lead and rhythm at the same time who could do that today live without effects? FANTASTIC MUSICIAN AND DOWN TO EARTH GUY?😊👍🇬🇧
On a rarement vu quelqu'un aller au bout de lui même comme cet homme là!
Ce soir là il avait tout miser et l'histoire lui rend tellement grace
Je lui sais gré de nous avoir transmis le mojo d'un indescriptible sentiment de liberté
Avec ce type de personne le mot "Liberté" prend son sens
This will never get old! A straight forward, hard working power trio! No bullshit just ROCK-N-ROLL!!!
Not quite a trio - they also had a keyboard player - Lou Martin. (Drummer was Rod D'arth).
@@Renegade1127 this was after Rory went back to a trio.... the drummer is my late friend Ted McKenna
Sadly missed 💞, his live shows, still head banging to his music 🎶 😛, rip Rory 🎸🎸🙏
Yeah that is the true rock3 n roll❤😂
I am 67 so I saw him at his best. Went to see him about 10 times. The energy still sustains me
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Lucky you ... 👍
saw him at wheeley clacton on sea festival. came on said no taste shit tonight and just hammered it. awsome im 68 now.ha ha
same with me.....irishtour74...nothing more to say or play in bluesrock...
Genie ; you got three wishes.
Me ; bring Rory back.
Genie ; you got three more , this one is on me.
brought a big smile to my face friend!
Brought tears to my eyes 😭 For the love of Rory.
Haha that’s great lol
I wish this genie existed.
Genie went Rory to stay in heaven when looking at what we became.
The term "We are not worthy" comes to mind every time I hear this man play.... RIP Rory!
YES!!!! This is what Wayne and Garth meant all those years ago. 😂😂😂😂
Saw Rory loads of times went to Dublin for a weekend went and stood under Rory’s guitar got very emotional what a legend the greatest rock blues guitarist that ever lived no bullshit just pure genius
I'm reading autobiography of Bruce Dickinson and name Rory Galagher was mentioned couple of times as his role model. I have to addmit I didn't know him so I Googled him. Boy, am I happy I did that!
When I saw that piece of perfection it blew me away!
Pure awasome R'N'R at its best!!
All three of them are masters on their instruments!! And what an energy!!! Just WOW!!
Ah yes what a performer
Beyond the amazing guitar playing, he was a master of not tripping over the cord!
And he was high.
LOL I thought the same thing - he know where that damn cord was at all times, even when his eyes were closed!
@@pazamor9164 Not true....Gerry McAvoy has been a good friend of Mine for many many years....He told Me Rory would have some booze, but He would get mad at Gerry and Ted McKenna (RIP, My old pal) for smoking weed before a show.
I started playing Rory on the jukebox at my local bar and no one there ever heard of Rory and now they can't get enough one of my friends bought the 74 live since then Rock In Peace brother ✌️
Celui que j'aime
là ou tu es yu dois encore jouer
Irish tour is great. Million miles way live is something special
Ladies and gentlemen, that was rock and roll. You played until your guts fell out and then you played a little more. When Rory strapped on that Strat, it was game on. He never left anything behind. God, I miss those days.
The very best of Ireland in the 60's- '95 & even now. Rory & Gerry killed it!!! Gerry is STILL 'blusin' on. No one better lmo!
.
He did it and some thx
fantastic comment 👍.....
total live madness! 1979 and the sound is perfect, you can clearly hear guitar, bass and drums..audience simply goes into raptures..no mobile phones.. everybody listen to music rhythm..
Very good analyz...congrulations..from istanbul
When i wached him i was asthonished ... i said to my self *what a great musician*
it was 1979 or 80 at RAINBOW concert hall(may be was in hammersmith odeon)...
That was standard in those days,- you dont climb a stage if you dont have your sound straight,- the competition was badass
@@MsSoulProvider
Yes you certainly had to be on the button when it came to delivering a good result
Rory Gallagher is one of the greatest guitarists of all time. But the bass player Gerry McAvoy is killing it.
Damn right man 😏
I a gree
I think Gerry has a Rory tribute band these days. They made a great pair.
Why ? For playing one note licks on the bass ?
@@avalondreaming1433 yeah, saw them live in Germany. It was awesome.
Oooow jeeeeeeaaaa!!!! THIS IS SO GOOD!!!! Aaaaaaaa, this is music! Yes yes yes, thank you Rory
Thank you Rory, Garry, Ted
This is my first Rory Gallacher experience, this guy is an energy bomb of a performer. So much love for the paying customers. Great stuff.
Check out his early band Taste live at Isle of White.
Damn this is Amazing! Stationed in Germany and saw him in concert. The US has no idea of the talent abroad. Thankfully Rory had a lot of recorded concert video. This is a TREASURE!!!
He was loved by the Germans,he had many gigs there
I was 18 back then and rock music was everything to me. Great sounds like this. Thanks.
One of the best musician in the rock history: thank you Rory.
What about the bass player sporting the wide stance? Have u ever seen a bass player sporting such a wide stance before?
529 great performance
One of the greatest guitarists that ever lived🥰
That was truly remarkable RIP Rory
🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Slash, Joe Perry , and Angus young , mentioned him as their influence...
It’s rare that you can listen to and listen to a 10-minute song several times in a row ..
Weekly on my playlist
Great guitarist,singer,songwriter,performer and Irish gentleman.
Hero
Genius
a total brilliant irish embassador thank uk ireland for this man from uk x
@@TheKoss44100 Hiya Kerry Kat. Spot on with your comments, except for one small detail. Rory is Irish. He is not from the UK, which would mean he English. Rory is from my home city of Cork in Ireland. Is mise le meas. Liam ó Maolcatha.
@@liammulcahy9506 He was born in Donegal and grew up in Cork
Omg, I've watched this so often throughout the years and he just gets more beautiful every time. Love you Rory, forever ❤❤❤
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 Gallagher saw him many times.. Lisdoonvarna with Seamus Ennis before him on Uillean Pipes Unreal
This song is a journey. One of my favorites.. But there also tunes with a gigantic play from Blackmore etc
Must be one of the greatest guitarist who ever lived
YES he WAS and IS
Add to that Gerry McAvoy and the legend that was Ted McKenna and you have the best power trio to ever walk this planet
@@dennism5731 Rarely given their due credit
False
@@crayhead you’re false
I love the way he completely gets the audience with this pure rock’n’roll energy. After this amazing solo everybody is standing, clapping, dancing... Living in a South American country and having “only” 43 years old all I can say is that I envy these people in the audience so much. I wish I could have been there too.
And if this had been played in a Latin American country the partying would be heard on the other side of the universe. Latin American rock audiences are amazing.
Clapton, Hendrix and Page get all the attention from this era...but Rory's expression, accuracy, tone and speed are just mind-blowing. Everyone who plays guitar should know his name.
No flash, no frills, just a guitar man of the purest form. I was blessed to have seen him in his prime which to this day I hold as one of the best memories of my life.
I'm french. I know Rory till i was student and i've Always said to my wife w'ill go to Cork one day to celebrate him. It's done. And I Always listen this song on my way to work... For 6 years now. It's make me strong for thé day with "going to my hometown"
Bonne chance
Je découvre Rory Gallagher sur cette vidéo...
Et je suis scotché !
En voilà un qui sait manier sa gratte !
Quel enthousiasme, quelle énergie !
Voilà un magnifique artiste, du grand son !
👍
Bassist is an absolute machine!
And still playing, Seen him a few times in Band Of Friends
Gerry Mc Avoy. Was Rory's bass player for most of his career.
That was the best rock performance I’ve ever seen. This dude…
Rock n roll will never die. Thank you Rory!
You were unreachable💫
always in your heart in 2024
merci pour tout ce que tu fait.
Respect
😎👍
I was in his concert in Athens Greece 1980. He is great guitarist.I was 20 years old then and after all these years his music is timeless and immortal!!
M Έλα ρε φίλε και εγώ εκεί ήμουνα τώρα είδαμε ότι θα όμως αλλά γίνανε επεισόδιο από τα πρώτα από τις πρώτες συναυλίες που έγιναν να μαστέ καλά να ζούμε ήτανε μοναδικές στιγμές
Absolutely love a guitarist who can't sit still! Raw emotion, him and his guitar becoming one
This is what is missing from music today. I hate to sound like an old fart, and I'm not...actually. Just saying, THIS is a man giving it his all and not really caring what you think...or maybe he does and isn't afraid of disappointing you. At any rate, this is what I look for. Thank you.
DJs can't dig this! Never!!!!.Music is dead my mate dead!.
This super he's a stage Guru the best Rory!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Couldn’t agree more man. And I’m 18.
He and Jimi hendrix playing for the gods now.
Most of today's music is all about good looking boy's and girl's, the music takes second place. I'm new to RG but man can he play a guitar.
......... Never ever gonna see anything like this again . His genius is beyond everything , no compare !
I have had the privilege of shaking that mans hand and drinking with him you never meet a nicer human being god I miss him.
There is no other like Rory . The energy 🤘
That guitar solo is probably the best in the world!
If there’s a better solo out there I’d love to hear it, outstanding player, never heard better.
@@JEZPARDOE aaaaaaaaaaaaaa
It is for sure!! Also Rory and his guys berserking on stage are outstanding!!
@@JEZPARDOE “Parissiene walkway live in london GARY MOORE” best solo in my opinion
It’s up there
Rory Gallagher playing like a man possessed... This is what rock n roll should be.. no auto tune or smart phones back in the day. Rory lived for the music and the fans not the image or money...and what about Gerry McAvoy on the bass...This is the real deal
Well, there is that phaser 😅🤣 jk jk
This is the worst ever
ohhhhyeahh....👍👍👍👍...set the benchmark for bluesrock for.....ever !! this guy just cant be replaced...
Не цепляет
@@billythekid1679 seagulls know you ..crows are Kings.
bought an album of his around 1974 . Could not stop listening to his amazing unique virtuoso blues style. Shame he is not still alive today . Genius
The energy is absolutely off the scale, I loved Rory Gallagher 👌🍀👏👏👏
Движение ног как у сдиси
Such an amazing, distinctive guitar-tone, the kind of sound every player would hopelessly search for..
That guitar tone sits so perfectly in the mix. That ALONE is awesome.
Never seen a man get involved with the audience as much as rory long may you live .
Have been a nonstop Rory fan since his Tattoo’d Lady album in ‘72. I loved how he just played. No fancy suits or light shows, just pure powerful rock and blues. No pretension. Gotta love a guitarman who just lets the music and talent speak.
I can't watch a Rory video, or hear him play, without being amazed and in awe...
Fantastic. I miss Rory
This is a true live performance, leaving absolutely everything on stage. Thanks Rory!!!!
I have never seen an artist amongst the crowd
Just another value for Rory Gallagher
What a beautiful person
The drums, the bass, the guitar and no more and it’s out of this world good!
In the eighties he was in Hamburg and Hannover nearly every year and I watched every show. The greatest guitar player ever !!!
I would've killed to watch Rory in any era but he was undoubtedly at his best in late 60s/70s. You're still one lucky SOB
He was the original wild man. I swear he is more popular than ever. Long live your Ghost Blues.
I saw this great guy at Lancaster University ..one word Awesome...he loved his fans like we loved him R.I.P. G Man ...never forgotten never.....xx
Me too! Saw him 3 times in total and shook his hand!
I was lucky to see the great man many years after this show in Dublin on two occasions & he put that energy in to every single show. He was a phenomenal guitarist, songwriter & performer. Long may you rock Rory 🙏👏👏
Love this guy. An incredible musician. Saw him play on a regular basis in Birmingham in the early 70's. Once his bass player and drummer got stuck n the traffic but he still gave a concert together with a keyboard player for his fans. The tickets remained valid for a later date. Great guy. I moved to the Netherlands in 1976 and attended one of his last concerts there in Rotterdam in 1995. He arrived late but gave a great concert. The guy passed away later that year. I'll never forget this guy.
I was at that concert in Birmingham, absolutely fantastic. Lovely man .
Lucky guy, He’s my biggest hero and he’s dead when I was just 3 :(
I was at that concert as well ,16 years old the guy next to me asked had I seen Rory before I replied no, he said ; you're in for a treat mate; boy was he right. Still ranks as my favourite concert ever.
visited his grave in july and felt truly humbled. Cheers Rory
I`ve been to pay my respects at his grave in Ballincollig. Felt he was still around.
Jesus H. Tap Dancing Christ! That whole scene of the guitar laying on the stage should be rock legend. You ain't pulling that off without a kick ass rhythm section like he has here.
Agree the bass and drums are awesome..raw rock n roll
Must of watched this over a hundred times over the years, still the best live performance I've seen imo
Those bass lines are killer, great playing.
One of the best live performances of any song, ever !
No other musician dare to do what Rory did on stage, having his devoted fans right by his side while playing live.
RIP Rory
This would be a marathon to play…
I don’t think people appreciate the energy needed for this song.
The energy reserves!!
I never get tired of listening to Rory so much energy miss him alot! There is no one better for jamming and his bass player is outrageous too!
Saw him twice in the late 70,s in the old appollo Glasgow, he was so down to earth, he waited to meet and shake hands, sign autographs and a quick word with everybody who waited. You don't see that anymore.
TOOK MY first proper girlfriend to see him at redcar jazz club mid seventies - she never looked at me till he finished...…….
Mind you, you can see this still today, but you have to find the proper occasion. I had a nice chat with Graham Bonnet last May in Hamburg after the show of the Graham Bonnet band. He was so likeable and felt like joking with me all around...
Once in a lifetime
@@seanlav8040 Maybe you're right...
Lucky man. Didn't know he played the Apollo. I'm nearby in EK and saw Big Country in there, before it was torn down.
Never saw Rory live, huge pity.
He was an incredible guitarist.
No one has and ever will come close.
Unique individual and we lost him way too soon.
Thankfully we have You Tube for moments just like this.
Long live the blues!!!
Rory had such a gift to connect with the audience, seen him many times. love you Rory RIP
I've lost count of the number of times I've watched this video in the past few weeks. It's so damn good! High energy performance, can feel it radiating out. This video is what made me a Rory Gallagher fan! ❤
Can't stop crying and smiling at the same time! Every time i see him!
Jimi Hendrix was once asked whats it like to be the best guitarist in the world. He replied ask Rory Gallagher
The very best Ireland ever had, always for Rory God keep him
Yes Amen!
tied with gary moore for sure
@@johnf6288 Moore can never be compared to the king of the strings, Rory, Rory, Rory.
If not,the worlds best
Saw him 3 times, simply amazing every time, he loved music, not money or fame! R.I.P. Rory you were the best!
That bass tone sounds so satisfying. Ive never heard this band before. Literally got here after seeing a short about Jimi Hendrix on whos his favorite guitar player, and now just discovered this band. Glad I did. That's for sure cause they just gained another fan!
As a musician who also likes to get a little wild and move about the stage, the way Rory deftly navigates those guitar cables is a feat in itself. Like a fighter with perfect footwork.
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.
Thank God this performance was caught on film.
Thank God indeed, the technicians and engineers too.
This is the first time I've ever heard this man. Thank God for RUclips. Thank God for Rory. Rip!
And a big thanks to Mr Claude Nobs in Montreux to invite him.
My Dad said that there was so many insane solos and performances he did that sadly never were recorded. There is a lot of good ones out there including this one. My Dad was a guitar player in the early 70s and saw him every chance he got. That’s kind of the beauty that this guy is such a insane talent and not many people don’t know of him outside of the blues world. Also used no pedals. Super underrated player
God ???
I love it, when Rory throws his Stratocaster away, and starts fooling around with it! 😄 The energy of the band is something else! One of the greatest guitarists of all time.
I gotta agree the whole band is smoking hot Gerry is one hell of a bassist.
I'm suprised he didn't split his trousers open sporting that wide stance..
Today it's 24 years without you.... and that audience near the artist, good times....
Absolutely amazing! One of the best guitarists ever, and this one of his best live performances!
Absolutely magnificent, out of this world! If this is not among the best live rock'n roll performances ever, I don't know what is! Thank you guys!
The guitar solo he plays at 03:09 is one of my favorite live solos ever. Incredible performance
Yeah, right? Literally looking at the sky. Absolutely amazing. Simply the best.
Amazing
Rory you have a very big heart, and shows every where around you. I have been bless by your music. Thank you very much .
Damn......you just can't say enough good things about this man! There just aren't words to describe what Rory's music makes you feel. A truly wonderful guy and a total badass on guitar. He doesn't get the credit he deserves! Genius!
Heard about this guy 2 days ago, I've been missing out
he was so lovely and respectful to everybody that no one ever throw nothing in him everybody was just enjoying so hard the show and waiting to talk whit him, yes at end of all shows he spend time whit fan´s i wish back to past machine just for watch this show, for sure most humble man of rock and blues ever.
I visited his grave recently too .A bit of a small pilgrimage for the great man who changed my life .top man forever Rory .
Fantastic performance Rory will never die in ours hearts
The guy was just the best performer I've ever heard i wish I got the chance to see him live
