    I think I got my money's worth...
    My first rock concert
    May 19, 1973 (Dusty Hill's 24th birthday, I've come to find out)
    East Tennessee State University
    Rory Gallagher
    ZZ Top
    $4
    It was about six months before Tres Hombres came out. Rory was pure fire right out of the gate, and I think he had as much fun as anyone. Then, BG and the boys came out. Back when they were the most badass blues rock band that ever was. Straw hats, jeans, no beards(but Frank. lol), and BG in a white tshirt w/ pack of Marlboros rolled up in the sleeve(lol). Needless to say, Rory and BG made a big impression on a 16 yr old. Blues rock, slide guitar nut ever since.
    RIP Dusty, Rory, Lou, Rod. Thank You!

    I saw the great man over 20 times. Every gig was an absolute storm of high energy rock and blues. He tore the place apart wherever he played. Brilliant performer and exhilarating fluid guitarist, he was an absolute joy to behold.
    Hr could play a range of styles, jazz, folk and country and on his albums he would mix it up and there was a track for everyone.
    Amazing versatility and genuine love for his craft.

    Song from 1971 called I Fall Apart might be the most beautiful solo he ever played. Then in 1974 he toured Ireland when bombs were exploding and everyone played only to the audiences of one side or the other ~ except Rory & his band. They played everywhere ~ Million Miles Away, Walk on Thin Ice, Cradle Rock, and a solo acoustic As the Crow Flies
    All fire.

I was up front, the one with the brown face and I was with a white friend...I couldn't take my eyes off him..One of the guys working there was watching me...five minutes before the show ended.. he asked one question "How would you like to meet Rory Gallagher?" the rest was history.. I went back the next day to see him again.. I had no problem getting back stage.

    Rory Gallagher wa a lovely, soft-spoken person who was a friendly guy and always made you feel welcome. I met him for the first time as a fifteen-year old kid when sheltering for a ferocious down-poor at the 1976 Jazz Bilzen in Belgium. We had a small conversation about the diversity and taste of several Belgian local beers, while sampling them on the spot. I met him again backstage at the 1980 Reading Rock festival in England and he bloody-well remembered me. We more or less continued our conversation from four years prior and I promised him I'd send him some of our more exotic beers (mostly beers brewed by priors on a low level, like, two crates per year, maximum). There's a pub downtown Antwerp, called "The Kulminator" that has more than nine-hundred beers in stock, ninety-five per-cent of them from Belgium. I often went there to taste some of them, depending on how much money I had because some of the more rare beers are pricy. But I got some for Rory and I met-up with him again at the same Reading festival in 1981 or 1982 and he was so friendly and thankful. Quite the remarkable guy, really. When he knew you, he treated you like family. I got an invitation a few years later through Belgian blues artist Roland Van Campenhout, who was a really good friend of Gallagher, but for reasons I can't remember I passed on it and never met Rory again. I regret that now. But hey, that's life.

  • @SlumminAngel
    @SlumminAngel 2 года назад +15

    Great reaction. Rory was all about the music, he wasn't interested in the celebrity showbiz lifestyle. He never compromised his music for the sake of commercial success, refused to release singles which meant he didn't get much radio play, but as he said "Everywhere we play a crowd shows up, and they seem to know all the songs." Onstage he was a human hurricane, offstage people were often surprised to find he was a softly spoken, modest, polite, intelligent , down-to-earth gentleman. He was a one-off. You should listen to some of his interviews sometime.
    As for what to react to next, when Rory rocked he rocked hard, but that was only one aspect of his repertoire, he was an accomplished acoustic player and a respected bluesman too.
    I'll suggest 'A Million Miles Away' and 'As The Crow Flies', both from Irish Tour 74.

    Virtually all of the biggest rock acts to a certain degree (some more than others) had some type of gimmick whether it was related to their image, clothes, act or whatever. With Rory it's just a guy in plain dress wearing denim, playing a battered old Stratocaster. It's so honest and rock in it's purest form.
    Yes, Rory is up there as one of the guitar greats, definitely in the top 10 of all time and his band IMO is the most under-rated Power Trio as this track shows they are absolutely on fire, an unstoppable force.

He(the guitarist) managed to get tickets to see Rory at the Marquee Club's 25th Anniversary shows (tiny club)..I was blown away by Rory , lost my friend for a bit, only to see this shy retiring guy going mental at the front, headbanging like his life depended on it..Rory was fantastic..Happy memories...thx for this one man, great stuff!

I never saw a band that worked harder live. Such a talent and forever humble. One of the greatest, that's for sure!

    Thank you for another Rory reaction! I love seeing young folks discover his amazing talent. I've been a fan since 1980, when I first discovered him.. For more Rory, try Do You Read Me (Rock Goes to College) for more amazing rock guitar work or my personal favorite Sinner Boy with his band Taste at the Isle of Wight for some slide guitar. Rory was only 22 at the time and blew everyone away. Rory was also a fabulous acoustic player. Check out any of the performances on the RTE Studios 1977 special such as Pistol Slapper Blues. He was a great blues player. Also, any of the Old Grey Whistle Test videos are pretty darned good too. Please have fun exploring Rory's catalog. The man was extraordinary.

Young Rory - looking gorgeous - Taste his best rhythm section ever. I just bought Live in Cork which is incredible in part due to the advanced filming technology. You feel like you are on the stage with him. No one will ever replace Rory.

  • @1Moonchild
    @1Moonchild 2 года назад +20

    This was how Rory opened this show - and shows why his performances are legendary. What separates Rory from the rest is that he could really do it all - his acoustic stuff is as outstanding as his electric, he could pick, he could slide. When he played the blues you felt the blues, when he rocked you rolled. He was a self-taught multi-instrumentalist who played guitar, mandolin, electric sitar, harmonica, alto sax... His songwriting was brilliant and his voice was wonderfully unique. For a totally different vibe, I suggest you check out his "All Around Man" performance from the BBC show Old Grey Whistle Test. Also his Beat Club performances are sublime - among those: "Used to Be" and "In Your Town", or any of them, are worth seeing. There's also Rory with his band Taste - amazing stuff. So much more to explore, too many to mention, but experiencing Rory is a musical journey. Anyway, thanks for another great Rory reaction and keep on...

    In Germany in the 70, they created a TVshow called Rockpalast that came up from time to time with a lot of great international stars but also some unknown acts. Rory was one of the most invited. Then, in 1977, they decided to install 2 big shows per year with various big acts and for some years there were the famous Rockpalast Nights in March and October that were broadcasted all over Europe ( and there were hundreds of thousands of Rockpalast parties during that nights). Rory had the honor to open the first one of them. I cannot say which performance is my favorite of his because there are too many great ones. But one of them is "Moonchild" on the Loreley in 1982. Awesome to see how he mistreated the strings of his poor strat while soloing. ruclips.net/video/-qraZF0TW2I/видео.html
    In the above video you can see him use a Fender amp, on the Loreley it was a VOX AC 30 amp and in other vids you can see that he used different amps by other brands. But he always sounded like "Rory" and was immendiately recognizable. Maybe I am wrong but I think he was the one with the most unique sound among all the guitar giants. Listening to his studio work is fun but watching him life is the cherry on the cream.
    If I remember it correctly it was the guitarist of Pearl Jam who was inspired to learn guitar after hearing the acoustic "I'm Not Awake Yet" from the album "Deuce" because he wanted to play that, too. Perhaps my memory is wrong and it was another musician who became someone.

    There is no 'best' in music. There are those who are/were above, those whose star shone a little more brightly. Rory was one who dazzled. He connected with music and he connected with people. Once you discover Rory, and spend some time listening and watching, you can't help but fall under his spell.

    Fave rock guitarist is Hendrix, without a doubt. I really like Gary Moore, David Gilmour, SRV. I'm always searching for guitarists who push their art to another level. Innovayion is fun to experience. What people don't talk about Hendix is his voice, stage presence, song writing ability, his Experience bandmates, and how well his albums were recorded and produced. That entire package made Hendrix exceptional. He wasn't just a guitarist, he was a poet.

    Rory was at his peak in the 70's. 11 Studio albums and 2 live albums. Him and The Edge are Ireland's two guitar gods. Unfortunately, Rory had an illness in the early-80's and the medication prescribed essentially took him out. I think his last hit-song Loanshark Blues showed he had so much left in the tank. You should check it out....has a great groove and wicked slide-guitar.

      Edge ain't no Rory. Rory Gallagher is one of the top guitarists recorded music history while Edge is an amateur in comparison.

    I saw him in 1982 in Quimper (Brittany). A cool guy and honest rocker (a giant on stage, but dressed like you are, giving that feeling you could go drink a beer easily with him after, you see what i mean), never boring during solo. He had a great aerial sound and a very clear musical statement. He finished the concert in a duo with his great friend Dan Ar Braz, another legend!...

    I'm so chuffed you got to check Rory out, he was a shooting star. You should have a watch of some of his earlier interviews, especially in Ireland where he was from, just to see what a truly humble gentleman he was too. No rockstar bullshit, no ego... just a guy who happened to be in the musical 1%.

    Rory was great, no doubt about it, but questions about ‘the greatest of all time’ are ultimately pointless. It’s about who you like most. I like Rory and Blackmore and Howe more than I like Hendrix, Page and Clapton, but that doesn’t make any one of them the greatest, because someone else will have different favourites. Just enjoy what you’re listening to!
