There are many guitarists that I have respect for, like Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, and the Beatles. Jimi Hendrix was the guitarist that made me drop my jaw and asked, "How the hell did he do that?" I can say that RORY IS THE ONLY GUITARIST WHOSE PLAYING BROUGHT ME TO TEARS and then I said, "THAT'S HOW YOU DO IT!" You feel the passion in every note he plays. This is the song that brought me to tears. RORY DID IT THE RIGHT WAY! And I will NEVER, EVER FORGET THAT FEELING.
Robert Completely agree with you . There is real beauty / feeling in his playing. This is one of his very best songs. A million miles away is my favourite
Mio Dio...... Come possa essere nato un genio simile è un mistero a cui si dovrebbe indagare 😮Mozart e Beethoven lo avessero conosciuto e ascoltato avrebbero cambiato mestiere caro Rory eri un grande genio caduto sulla terra e non conosciamo il pianeta o lo spirito che ti ha creato❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ovunque tu sia tra 100 anni ti verrò a trovare 😊😊😊
As others have said, Rory was one of the best. So skilled but humble in his playing. As in, his playing was clean and true. He didn't need fuzz and effects. Reminds me of Mark Knopflers style. You can hear every note, and every word he sings. That is class playing. And everybody loved Rory for that. I also believe it was his Irish musical heritage that formed his style. Every pub band in Ireland playing reels and jigs, they are all so precise. Rory took this heritage on the road and played about 400 hundred gigs across Europe. And left a lasting impression on every single person he played to. X
The more I listen to Rory the more respect l have for him as a lyricist never mind a guitarist, of which there are not enough superlatives in the dictionary. Genius, magician, virtuoso, legend.....but most of all,a lovely humble human being,who is sadly missed.RIP my friend you are in our hearts evermore☘
Rory never made a bad song . This one is perhaps my favorite from Photo Finish .Even in the late 70's , when Rory's music turned a bit more rock than blues , he could still create marvellous , poetical bluesy ballads . Let's call radios to play Rory more often !
I just discovered Rory in the past few months. I've never felt any other musician reach out and connect like he does, maybe because he felt it so deeply himself. Such a unique man.
@@Katsem I think it was that he was feeling it for sure 💯. We lost the legend way to soon, so sad what happened to him. I will always love Rory, he’s so incredibly talented. He’s full of soul and passion !! 🔊🇮🇪🤘🏼💀🤘🏼🇮🇪🔊
Melancholy lingers around the chords and lyrics and then he takes off in that final soaring solo. I wish he'd continued it another minute, a superb ending!
This might be my favorite Rory song. It's perfect in every way, melody, lyrics, vocal and guitar. The guitar evokes a very wistful feeling of melancholy in me. And it makes me wonder what it meant to Rory when he wrote it.
Rory couldn't play a bad song if he tried. Have loved the man for decades and always will. Please just once, let's leave that silly Hendrix quote out of Rory's sites. That same quote had Jimi citing a whole handful of guitarists. RIP Rory.
Linda Jones coundnt agree more i dont think Rory was waiting for anyons opining or quote, he loved to play the hell out of that guitar and that he did needless to say i love hem too may he R,I,P,Margo.
How don´t appreciate ??? Incredibly beautiful ... lyrics ... melody ... composition... interpretation! Impossible don´t let the mind to travel in Rory´s solos guitar...
One of my top ten Rory songs..Named one of my kids after him. Wish though Donal would not have re- mixed some of the albums.THE ORIGINALS WERE JUST FINE! He never got his due In America which is typical. I felt his music and lyrics like no other.I cried like a babe when I learned of his passing.Top 2-3 guitarist ever if not the best. I grow tired of hearing how great Clapton is. Bunch of bravo sierra! Tommy Bolin,Rory and my favorite right winger, the nuge any day over Mr.Slowhand, you look lovely tonight! REALLY?!
Love this album..heard a lot about this guy..never got to listen to his music he is fantabulous. I hear a lot of guitar's I believe I know who where alot of their influence comes from. This guy is really bad ass. Thank you for sharing 2thumbs up.
Sure, I'm a big Rory Gallagher fan. I first saw him in concert at SMU in Dallas. He was the opening act for Rod Stewart and Faces. A few years later, I saw him two different times playing a small club in Houston, Texas. That's the way to see and hear a 3 piece band--in a small club! Rory Gallagher, a R&R guitar legend!
My uncle bought me the album photo finish when it was released.I think he was worried about the music I was listening to at the time.He needn't have worried.
Packed my things in an overnight bag A toothbrush and guitar, got no tail to drag Gonna leave, on the next passing breeze My heart is heavy, as a sky full of rain Mind full of notions, that I just can't explain The reasons why, just can't be supplied Trapped by a heartache, and freed by my will Sentenced to wander, so much time to kill Hear my plea, and rescue me Packed my sorrows in an overnight bag But I'll be gone much longer than that Who knows when, we'll meet again? Too many sleepless nights, put my soul on edge And so many restless moods, lay heavy in my head Too many sleepless nights, put my soul on edge And so many restless moods, lay heavy in my head Wrote down my thoughts, and I sealed them in hope Sent them to you in a blue envelope Not received, it seems to me
1969 interview shortly after Woodstock. Interviewer: So Jimi, what's it like to be the best guitarist in the world? Jimi: I dunno, ask Rory Gallagher...............για πάντα στις καρδιές μας
Un Genio ..incomparable si Hendrix lo reconocia como el mejor es por q en realidad era bueno y unico ...el jamas trato de llamar la atencion destruyendo una guitarra hacia algo unico
Αγαπητοί Έλληνες θαυμαστές Του Rory !!! Δεν υπάρχει καλύτερος τρόπος για να κρατήσουμε ζωντανό το όνομα και το πνεύμα του Rory Gallagher σε όλο τον κόσμο από το να γίνει υποβολή αίτησης στις αρμόδιες αρχές για να μετονομαστεί το υπάρχον αεροδρόμιο Cork International σε "Cork Rory Gallagher Airport"… Παρακαλώ κοιτάξτε rorygallagherairport com

Robert Howland I feel the same way i have one regret never got to see Rory live my loss R I P Rory, Margo,

Robert
In a nutshell
Rory Gallagher had everything that is feeling
Forget the rest
Ok
Robert
Completely agree with you . There is real beauty / feeling in his playing. This is one of his very best songs.
A million miles away is my favourite
One in a billion of years. His name is Rory. Rory.

For me, this is Rory Gallagher at his best. But it's not just him. It's the whole band. It's a riff to die for.

Your so spot on 💯.
Seine Musik wird immer bleiben. Ein GENIE ! BEST Gitarreplayer for all Times. RIP
If I had received a letter from Rory pouring out feelings in any coloured envelope, I would have caught the first train to where ever he was!
Sg me to
Indeed!
Hey you and me both !!
Rory at his very best !
Rory never made a bad song . This one is perhaps my favorite from Photo Finish .Even in the late 70's , when Rory's music turned a bit more rock than blues , he could still create marvellous , poetical bluesy ballads . Let's call radios to play Rory more often !
Fabienne Bernaerts ........Good idea , Would love to hear him more on radio stations ,
Yes Rory on the radio
I agree with you. Photo Finish - What a powerful Rock Album.
Rory never wanted to be the biggest in rock and blues he preferred more intimate gig's, very humble guy and one of the all time greats.
I think I was born 10 years late. Loved Rory in my teens. Really joy him now.
I love Rory's music. I just discovered it two years ago here on RUclips. Yet, I'm glad that I did.

🔊🇮🇪🤘🏼💀🤘🏼🇮🇪🔊
that song is a masterpiece. Rory Gallagher will live forever in our minds making the music we love and thats called the Blues.
No one was more humble or talented than Rory
Ask Jimi Hendrix or jack Bruce
Sorry Neill Angus

Rory in Lorient.. FRANCE.. WAS ON'E OF HIS LAST CONCERT IT WAS OVERWHELMING..AWESOME UNFORGETABLE GREAT... CONCERT.... ROYTY.. ON.. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
RORY.... ON.....!!!!!!!! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ..

so many years dead and he still speaks inside me

Well said Linda
Rory was his own man
Who's jimi ??
Totally agree, with everything you said.
This incredible man stole my heart 💜 when I first heard his music yrs ago. Even tho he’s not with us anymore, he’s still in possession of my 💜.
blinded by his guitar playing, his lyrics are overlooked
Rory was a great songwriter.
Great song seen Rory in Manchester and Bradford superb guitarist
Your spirit will live on forever in our hearts ♥️ and so will your music. ROY RULES !!
I don't think there really is "The best guitarist" but there was Rory Gallagher 👌
Amen to that, never be another Rory.
One of the greatest songs ever written..topped with this insanely great guitarplaying!
I love many Songs from Rory.I think he is a very emtional Man in a World that is cold and dark.I am sad that he is dead.
How don´t appreciate ???
Incredibly beautiful ... lyrics ... melody ... composition... interpretation!
Impossible don´t let the mind to travel in Rory´s solos guitar...
El gran Rory, en este tema se expandió a todos los niveles. Esto siempre se escuchara como algo de calidad.
ένα από τα 5 πιό αγαπημένα μου κομμάτια όλων των εποχών! ΚΟΜΜΑΤΑΡΑ....
Never get tired of Rory. Nice find to the creator for the pic of Rory with the can of Creem Magazine "Boy Howdy" beer! Here's to you, Rory!
Taken too soon, probably best concert ever saw,never gave anything less than 100% on stage
Still gives me chills after all these years.
Damn I love this guys guitar playing.
Rory , you're still within us all...❤️🎸
RORY GALLAGHER ETERNOOOO.... FOREVER THE GREAT GUITAR MAN THE ALL TIMES
Rory's tone is out of this world, from the first few strokes
One of my top ten Rory songs..Named one of my kids after him. Wish though Donal would not have re- mixed some of the albums.THE ORIGINALS WERE JUST FINE! He never got his due In America which is typical. I felt his music and lyrics like no other.I cried like a babe when I learned of his passing.Top 2-3 guitarist ever if not the best.

Rory was the eight wonder of the world, R,I,P,Margo
Incredible feeling. What a guy, true to his core.

Thank You for the saint Rory Gallagher Overnight Bag ,an outtake from top priority , I believe.Chris, a fiddler of Albuquerque NM
An outtake from an album that came later? Photo Finish 1978. Top Priority 1979. Rory didn't release outtakes anyway.

Génial !
My uncle bought me the album photo finish when it was released.I think he was worried about the music I was listening to at the time.He needn't have worried.
Κομματάρααααα!!!
thanx for the upload buddy..!!!!
Once played in 2004 from "BAND O FRIENDS" in VOLOS GREECE...!!!!!..GERRY SAID THAT RORY PLAYED IT ONCE MORE ....back in the early 80's...
I had some things that I wanted to say,
But my chance, well it just blew away,
On the breeze, like some mystery.
Ich hatte einige Sachen die ich sagen wollte,
aber meine Gelegenheit, sie ist einfach nur weg,
auf der Brise, wie ein Geheimnis
LUV IT...THANKS
Packed my things in an overnight bag
A toothbrush and guitar, got no tail to drag
Gonna leave, on the next passing breeze
My heart is heavy, as a sky full of rain
Mind full of notions, that I just can't explain
The reasons why, just can't be supplied
Trapped by a heartache, and freed by my will
Sentenced to wander, so much time to kill
Hear my plea, and rescue me
Packed my sorrows in an overnight bag
But I'll be gone much longer than that
Who knows when, we'll meet again?
Too many sleepless nights, put my soul on edge
And so many restless moods, lay heavy in my head
Too many sleepless nights, put my soul on edge
And so many restless moods, lay heavy in my head
Wrote down my thoughts, and I sealed them in hope
Sent them to you in a blue envelope
Not received, it seems to me
Doug Kercher .....Thanks for the lyrics , beautiful on St. Valentine's Day 2021. Yes , letter received Rory !
Γειά σου Ρόρυ Παναθηναϊκέ.
DE LO MAS BONITO KE RECUERDO,KE PENA RORY,KE PENA...
@hornetrdr i am so jealous, i would say it was an unforgetable experience.

Hendrix was enormous, Rory was enormous, the diference are,,,Rory is more melodic and sings much better!!!!
When they asked hendrix how's it feel to be the best guitarist and he said ask Rory - you mean that one lol
Does anyone know how the organ like sound (for example dominant at 00:11) is produced?
💋💋💋💋💪❤️👏🎸🎸🎸🎸
To the 11 thumb downers, you really are a very sad bunch, aren't you???
