      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.

    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.

    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.
