I'm with you there. Always had a love for his music and the person. Besides all his brilliant music and guitar talent, there is no other band or musician that I know of that has better song intro's. Is there a memorial weekend in Europe where bands play his music over a weekend? I've heard of this but coming from South Africa, it's not that publicised.
I saw Rory and his band in a very small bar in a very small town of southern Wisconsin. He's the greatest then and now. He's a million miles away but alive and well on RUclips. God bless him. Jimi Hendrix said Rory was the greatest guitar player alive. 🎉
Yes you are right, Rory G. = LEGEND WHO LIVE IN the wery fu... t up world, All he had was a Stratocaster that he didn't want to trade for the best C. S. FENDER. LEGEND PEOPLE
I saw Rory live four times in 71,72,73 and 74. What a brilliant musician! What what a wonderful human being when I got to talking to him later backstage🎉
A good friend of min have the same experience. He met rory on the street in Mainz (Germany) 1979. My friend was at every gig in Germany from Rory in that year. So Rory also tell him that he remember hin and invited im backstage for the concert at that evening
@@mjw12345Absolutely not. He is neither known nor honored as for example May, Hammet, Gilmour Townshend and many more.Try to stop an Italian, French or German guy and ask him the title of a Gallagher song or album... 🎉

@@mjw12345He’s not underrated by those of us who lived the 70s and loved good rock and roll. Not only did he play with true feeling, it came through in his music. He was a real showman, and did it for the fun.
Piece, as in piece of music... masterpiece, as in the greatest piece of music written by a certain artist... this SONG is a MASTERPIECE in every sense of both words.
I am a proud Irish man ..because of my brothers an sisters from cork ...I was born and raised in Germany but my Mom was from Ireland ..Iam 60 years old by now and never bin there ..I think its time to go home ❤❤
Just this evening my mate and I were having a few beers here in Brisbane, Australia, wishing we had visited Ireland. We are both originally from London, England, but we've never been to Ireland. My mate's name is Mick Murphy...he really should visit Ireland.
Was there in -71 , Dublin,,was working on the Cruiseship m/s Sagafjord, Norwegian, the city was quiet at 1:00 to 3:00 PM,banks were closed too,at that time! Beautiful country side!
I'm watching a genius that played straight from the heart ..This type of musicianship is rare..Forget tricks and speed and so-called power playing...What your looking at here can not be learned from a book or video ..this is true art ..R.I.P Rory
One of the reasons my oldest son (38) is called Rory! When my late wife and I saw him aged 17 (one of probably 15 times) we said if we had a son we'd all him Rory.
When Jimi Hendrix was asked how it felt to be the greatest guitar player in the world, he replied ''i don't know, you need to ask Rory gallagher''. Fact. I've seen Jimi say it. It's on you tube. I'm only boasting because Rory and I were both born in the same tiny hospital in ballyshannon, Ireland. He was a proud cork man, born in donegal, [the shiel hospital] but he belongs to the world now, just like Elvis the king.
A million miles away - Rory played it different - from gig to gig , from year to year, but always in his genuine way, simply true and convincing. This number is so amazing - can only be compared with the best rock songs in history!
Rorys emotion is so open in this version of the song, it feels almost like an intrusion during close up shots. It is why he continues to capture us, and engage new listeners almost 30 years after he left us 🎸🇨🇮🔥
I was lucky enough to see Rory twice in the 70s in Madrid, the memory is for a lifetime, now I am 71 and I have never seen the attraction that he exerts on people at concerts, it is simply magical, only Rory and It was an advance an exceptional guitarist, along with Peter Green they are my idols until the end
have the pleasure to see him in Athens in 1981 but the concert was stopped and an overnight war of fans with the police broke out.. I miss these days !
Woodstock happened when I was 12 years old and I got hooked on Rock at an early age. Having seen most of the GREATS over the decades I still have a very warm spot in my heart for Rory. I saw him in a small club in SF in '78. Surprising that a big star was still sort of unknown to so many people and playing in a club for about 150 people. He talked to us like old friends. One of the Greatest Guitarists I've EVER seen or heard. I still get a tear when I hear Shadow Play... God Bless Rory, he should never be forgotten.
I also used to see Rory in SF. in the 70s and early 80s. Saw him in concert many times at Winterland. We would also see him play at night clubs like the the Old Waldorf and the Stone. I had the privilege of talking to him after one of his night club shows. What a talent.
Visited his grave one week ago. And Phil's. Felt so humbled being there. I felt they we're definitely not a million miles away. Thanks guys for giving us this much x
Most underrated artist of the rock era. Total mastery of the instrument, total commitment to the music. Nothing that guy can't do with a guitar. As good a guitarist as anybody who ever lived, and a great songwriter to boot.
Il jouait la musique qu'il aimait, pour lui, pour le public.. Il aimait ses fans et leur montrait, les recevait dans sa loge.. Il était simple, humble et discret.. A mille lieues du star system, il voulait tout sauf être une star.. Il est resté lui-même jusqu'à la fin.. Je l'aime aussi pour çà..❤️☘️
Crying. Sittin' and crying. Just sitting here remembering people I have known who have passed. And of course Rory was/ is a huge part of life for me. Even now, all these years later. Beautiful Rory. Bless.🌹My god
The guitar in this song is terrifying ... it's so expressive that if you listen too closely you will hear pieces of a broken heart falling down and shattering on the floor
Saw Rory many times in Ireland through the years..... Absolute genius on the guitar.... No one could touch his rifts and feel for guitar playing... He is much missed here in the Emerald Isle.... Miss you Rory..
4:564:59 I was lucky to see him in St.kilda not far from Melbourne Australia in the late 70's, never forget how powerful he was on, listen to him most days just brilliant, R I P,
I’m 57 and have first recently discovered Rory Gallagher, while CD’s cost nothing anymore. I bought 5 with Rory. I was humbled over his musical originality, sincerity and skill. Now I don’t mind throwing serious money after his vinyls too! He deserved much more credit than he got! Hail, hail, rock n’ blues!
For me this is Rory,s masterpiece, this song makes me think like if i am distant (million miles away) and how humans are small and not capable of changing so many things. Rory 4ever
You can see from the outset how immersed Rory is in the music. I could watch, and listen to him, forever. Saw him live in '74 and will never forget the electricity.
I know the word underrated gets tossed around with almost any guitarist there is, but dam, Rory has never gotten the recognition he deserved. I mean even Hendrix was in awe of his playing.
Открыл для себя Рори 3 недели назад... я в шоке! не могу наслушаться, ТАЛАНТИЩЕ!!! шедевры. Почему раньше его не слышал? Мне 58 лет.... DEEP PURPLE , Nazareth, Pink Floyd и др. наслышан. Слушаю рок с 14 лет.
I´ve seen him 4 times in Germany and I´ve learned to feel the music with my heart and soul. I visited about 200 concerts with all the great combos, but Rory´s were the best.
A million miles away...what a blues song ! Love it. Rory is Great ! I always loved his concerts, very good feeling. His person was great too. I miss him still very much. But I ’m happy to listen to his fine music. And what a guitarist he was! One of the greatist in the world. Wonderful Great Man. John Coolman
There are so many really fantastic guitarplayer, but Rory will be always the Godfather of guitar. A million miles away but always in our hearts. We will never forget you and thank you for the best and most emotional concerts ever. I´ve seen dp, lz, rs, pf and so many others famous and fantastic combos, but no one could reach the intensity of your pure music and emotions.
As one of those guitarists Rory influenced, I can absolutely confirm this! Rest you gentle, sleep ye sound, Rory. You are dearly loved, and sorely missed.
Add those like me who just listen to this fantastic guitarist and musician, without being (perhaps) influenced, not in the same way as you, I mean. I miss him 🎶💙
I've been listening to rock since the late seventies, and Rory is one of the very few who give me shivers. For me there is no one like him on guitar, you have to go to the great classical performers who seem to be playing from the inside of the music.
Buckethead is where it's at if you have the time to sift through his massive discography. Check out his recent releases Blue Dunes, Rainbow Fountain, Communicating Through The Stars, Carriage, In The Sky, Held Reflection, Stairways Of Planets. At least a few of those are guaranteed to give you shivers
So great and soul and emotional play as always...Amazing Rory.New guitar artists don't realize that It's not enough to know which notes to play, you've got to know why they need to be played... Great musician. Thanks Rory
So very lucky not to only seen him many times both with Taste and this band. But so fortunate to have spent time with him at the Buxton blues and Rock concerts. Love reading everyone's comments. I call this raw blues. He played from his heart and soul.
Great stuff. I relate to the atmosphere of this song very much. Ever been in a place, surrounded by people having a good time and feeling like you're a million miles away? I have, more than once. Rory shows restraint in this song guitar-wise. Swells, some well-timed arpeggios, tasty bends. His vocal soulfully tells the tale. The band is smoking and Rory gives them plenty of room to shine. An excellent live version of a great song.
Very well said, Ken. I've been "there" many times myself, but having only recently discovered Rory's life-changing talent, I feel that I've found a kindred spirit at last.
@@waywardchild4678 A friend phoned me and told me he was gone I cried a little he was the man who guided me into the world of blues I'll always be grateful
R.I.P Rory, Rod and Lou , Only Gerry is alive.Sad but true, What a great music group they were . Rory was an axe man extraordinaire. I saw him ones live 1988 . It was awesome.
Non lo conoscevo, sono rimasta folgorata. Mi è arrivato tutto dritto al cuore, frequenza immediata, musica senza inganno che può scaturire solo da un uomo così autentico e puro, prima ancora che da un artista
This is quite a different version of the song, a mellow and slow emotional one with the organs in the background. His playing is more understated than in most live versions I've seen. Awesome!
When he wrote this song, Rory was going through a tough time in life. His million miles away, refers to his getaway place in life. It's a place called Ballycotton, county cork Ireland. Rory went there to get away from life. I can't explain what he means in the song. It would take to long. This is Rory's soul you are hearing. He lost his captan and his crew = taste.............
I've listened to it sooo many times (it's my #1 Rory song especially due to the emotional content in both the music and the lyrics) and I can sometimes recognize myself in the song, like I'm in tune with it.
Je me le repasse toujours en boucle, merci. Rory,c magnifique , vive Rory. On ne pas t'oublier. J'adore. Un guitariste de blues, le ch'tiiii moucheurs...
Bass players never get the recognition they deserve so when Rory doesn't get the recognition he deserves as a leading man/top Guitarist what chance does McAvoy have..
Awesome. I saw him in a rock concert at Rockingham Speedway. A very much smaller version of Woodstock. It was so good. So hot. We got so high. Saw alot of other greats, like Black Oak Arkansas, Alice Cooper, James Gang, alot more. Fuzzy memories for sure.

Rührt mich auch immer wieder zu Tränen, wenn ich sehe, wie sehr Rory seine Musik gelebt hat.💔 Rory und Robin Trower, mehr geht nicht.

I did NOT spell Gerrymandering. Darn phone of mine. Sorry.
So very lucky not to only seen him many times both with Taste and this band. But so fortunate to have spent time with him at the Buxton blues and Rock concerts. Love reading everyone's comments. I call this raw blues. He played from his heart and soul.
Great stuff. I relate to the atmosphere of this song very much. Ever been in a place, surrounded by people having a good time and feeling like you're a million miles away? I have, more than once. Rory shows restraint in this song guitar-wise. Swells, some well-timed arpeggios, tasty bends. His vocal soulfully tells the tale. The band is smoking and Rory gives them plenty of room to shine. An excellent live version of a great song.
Very well said, Ken. I've been "there" many times myself, but having only recently discovered Rory's life-changing talent, I feel that I've found a kindred spirit at last.
@@waywardchild4678 A friend phoned me and told me he was gone I cried a little he was the man who guided me into the world of blues I'll always be grateful
C'est ça Rory et son groupe! De la musique, avec des musiciens; ben oui, et chacun à fond dans son domaine.
Un domaine d'excellence. Merci à eux.
Great song! Great musicians! This brings back great memories.
I's hard to describe the genius of this artist. Special mention too to Gerry, Rod & Lou..
R.I.P Rory, Rod and Lou , Only Gerry is alive.Sad but true, What a great music group they were . Rory was an axe man extraordinaire. I saw him ones live 1988 . It was awesome.
Non lo conoscevo, sono rimasta folgorata. Mi è arrivato tutto dritto al cuore, frequenza immediata, musica senza inganno che può scaturire solo da un uomo così autentico e puro, prima ancora che da un artista
a genius who died to soon, Rory, one of the best ever, You never will be forgotten...
This is quite a different version of the song, a mellow and slow emotional one with the organs in the background. His playing is more understated than in most live versions I've seen. Awesome!
When he wrote this song, Rory was going through a tough time in life. His million miles away, refers to his getaway place in life. It's a place called Ballycotton, county cork Ireland. Rory went there to get away from life. I can't explain what he means in the song. It would take to long. This is Rory's soul you are hearing. He lost his captan and his crew = taste.............
I've listened to it sooo many times (it's my #1 Rory song especially due to the emotional content in both the music and the lyrics) and I can sometimes recognize myself in the song, like I'm in tune with it.
scyphe What a legend........ there is an old saying, " you will never be a prophet, in your own country "............... makes me proud to be Irish
You know it's going to be an experience when that bass kicks in
So so many great guitarist but for me Rory is up there with any of them.
He's in my top 5, as one of the best guitarist ever around.
The best ever
He was a phenomenal pure natural. Still listening today.🥰✌😍✌🥰
Why is that that I always cry when I listen to Rory? ... Because it is the true blues and he is a true man.
Je me le repasse toujours en boucle, merci. Rory,c magnifique , vive Rory. On ne pas t'oublier. J'adore. Un guitariste de blues, le ch'tiiii moucheurs...
Bass players never get the recognition they deserve so when Rory doesn't get the recognition he deserves as a leading man/top Guitarist what chance does McAvoy have..
HE WAS GREAT!
There will only ever be one Rory Gallagher ! Live. No one could rock like this guy !
He was great.
GREECE LOVE RORY...

My gawd, he is incredible. They’re all amazing. I love this song so much ⚡️
Awesome. I saw him in a rock concert at Rockingham Speedway. A very much smaller version of Woodstock. It was so good. So hot. We got so high. Saw alot of other greats, like Black Oak Arkansas, Alice Cooper, James Gang, alot more. Fuzzy memories for sure.
One of the greatest guitarists ever
The greatest att all time
