This guy was a genius. Jimi Hendrix and Rory Gallagher are #1 and #2 in my Book. Too bad more people don't know about Rory. We miss you Brother.
Here’s to Rory and Jimi!
Same here. A friend turned me on to Rory 5 or 6 years ago. Such talent.
Funny Jimi was known to have Said Rory was number one
Jimi said that about everyone`s favorite guitarist....him and BB.
I think it is so easy to say someone is a great guitar player when they are on an electric, but when you are blown away by someone playing an acoustic, then you know you are watching a phenomenal talent.
Truth!
But Rory Gallagher was also a guitar hero on electric guitar while playing his Stratocaster. That’s what make him a unique talent.
I saw him play in Stuttgart Germany, in the Beethovens Liederhalle (where I also saw Frank Zappa and Paco De Lucia), a hall with immaculate acoustics. The crowd absolutely refused to let him leave - he did something like 9 encores and played for nearly 4 hours. By the end of the show, he had run out of songs, and was doing stuff like "La Bamba" and "Johnny B Goode" (as well as a killer version of Bob Dylan's "I Shall Be Released"). The local newspaper described it the next day as "a religious experience". Keep unearthing those hidden gems, folks - Loving the Channel
He’s amazing 😍 thanks so much for watching!
He did the same when he came to New Zealand. First concert I ever went too. It was like a party with Rory. He would keep going as long as you kept going and was so loud I couldn't hear anything for 4 hours after the concert. I saw him live another 2 times after that.
As long as the crowd kept calling him back on stage Rory and his band would keep playing. Saw him myself in the early 70's and he was awesome
When you bought a ticket for a Rory gig you got 2 shows the encores were something else. After his full set he would come back on and start into something like sea cruise by Frankie Ford and then you would have at least an hour's worth of floor fillers like Johnny B Goode. He was a genuine easy going guy who would have the time of day for you if you met him if you met him outside the gig.
Yes ,saw him here in UK ,he really had us all in raptures with his genuine joyous enthusiasm ,great show ,fantastic player.
Rory and a 1930s resonator in open tuning absolute perfection!
Rory has sold nearly 40 million albums. He's not as unknown as many think. There has been 4 or 5 live and previously unreleased albums of his in the past few years.
Rory is the man.
Do you know he played a mean harmonica and saxophone too.
Such a uncompromising wonderful man.
🤯 We knew he played harmonica. Didn’t know about the sax. What an amazing guy!
@@SightAfterDark He plays sax on a few songs with his band Taste 66 to 71 and on several Rory albums. Yep, amazing is just the start. Played a mean electric sitar,mandolin and on and on.
As mentioned they tried to recruit him to replace Clapton in Cream(twice).
He wasn't into the fame aspect. If you delve into his life and learn who he really was he was very anti drug and did not drink himself to death.
He did develop a drinking problem but it was the mega doses of acetaminophen he was prescribed to help with his fear of flying that ruined his liver. Allegedly the Dr's didn't know the affect the drug caused.
His drummer from 71 to 73? Wilgar Campbell had the same fear of flying issue to the point he couldn't make short trips and couldn't continue in the band. He wasn't a drinker but became one and died young.
Sorry,,,,sure you didn't need the sermon.
P.S. Rory rarely even cussed. The old Sex,Drugs and Rock and Roll thing is well over played.
Many were not into that lifestyle.
@@chrisfamoo5729 We know Taste and didn’t realize it was Rory! We appreciate all the history. He’s quickly become one of our music and guitar heroes!
Taken to soon RIP Rory
Rory ALWAYS stuck with his blues roots……a legend.
The talent is off the scale, just him and an acoustic guitar, such a full on going sound, crazy.
I saw Rory twice, I loved how he would insanely rock out then do an acoustic set then finish the show totally insane rocking out. He would rock your socks off then bring you down then knock you out of your boots. I saw Jimi on Jan. 1 1970 , I was 12. After I saw Rory in 1976 Hendrix dropped down to #2. As you can see I still listen to Rory, Not so with Jimi.
Wow that’s amazing!
The Guitar Rory is using here is a 1932 resonator Made at the same time as Prohibition in America and designed to be used aby the Blues artists of the time The Song Too Much Alcohol is also from the Early Thirties
Woah
Once somebody told me, that if you've got suddenly goose bumps - that's blue notes...Rory is the master of them!
Nice. He sure is!
Rory loved to perform. It didn't matter how many people were there he gave it his all just the same.
Good for you spreading the word on this young man from Ireland 🇮🇪.
Keep up your good work !
Rory was a kind,easy going and humble man.
He also played a pretty mean saxophone and harmonica too. Check out Taste 68 to 71(Rory's first band).
He remains the greatest Blues/Rock performer that ever was.
Rory on!
Thanks Chris O’! 🕊
Couldn't have been better. I was hoping for this acoustic set. Rory lives in our hearts
Oh my what a choice, what a handsome man Rory was. Defo my fave channel. Keep well
Thanks for watching!
It was a privilege to see him.
So a bloody hard song to play and he does it like nothing, also peak "Irish rocker hair"
Where he lived in Ireland was near a Military base that broadcasted American Forces Radio. Rory said he used to listen to all the time
He was born to play blues and rock music💚
Hendrix, albert King, BB King and Muddy Waters all thought he was a crazy-good blues guitarist. check out some of his rock stuff. It's savage!
Rory at his best.......with just an acoustic guitar.
This was an education and a pleasure. I think this is one of the best renditions of old blues that I've heard. Thanks Rory thanks SAD x
Rory. The real deal.
end of discussion.
As for Rory being able to capture and express the blues so well; you must understand that historically the Irish were the (insert "you know what" word) of Europe.
peace - from an old Aussie. :D
😆yes, we’ve heard that
I'm 72 and saw Rory 13 times mostly in 70's.....every gig was amazing but he died too young at 45.
Saw Rory more than any other band or artist! Starting with Taste in 1969, then with his self titled band for about 18 years after that.
If you haven’t reacted to Bullfrog Blues or to Shinkicker, you are still missing out on so much of this mans talent!
Keep up the good work.
You’re so lucky! Thanks so much Michael!
So happy to see more Rory on your channel! His acoustic playing was sublime. Worth seeing is his live Beat Club acoustic performance of "Just The Smile", one of his own compositions that is very different than the two songs you just reacted to. Rory was so incredibly diverse in the types of music he played. Would also suggest "Cradle Rock" for some raw rock n roll (although his live stuff is amazing, my favorite is the studio version of this one). Anyway, there's so much of Rory to explore. Keep on...
Can’t wait to explore more. Thanks Nora!
Can’t wait to explore more. Thanks Nora!
Rory Gallagher is gold
My buddies and I, back in 1973, went to the old San Bernardino Swing Auditorium to see our favorite band, Deep Purple. Some guy named Rory Gallagher was the opening act. Never heard of him. As we watched, we witnessed a real star, making his appearance in America, I believe for the first time. We were all mesmerized, as well as the rest of the audience. In fact, (and no disrespect to DP), Rory clearly stole the show. It was unavoidable. He was called out for 2 more encores. After the gig, we all became Rory fans. He was really special, and I don’t use that word often.
We bet! Thanks for sharing Der!
i like the magical youtube-timemachine!
We do too!
Such a natural blues player amazing
Wow....I was already typing he did a few more in this set and worth checking out..... Happy you guys found some acoustic Rory!
God Bless Rory Gallagher RIP Brother !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
🕊️ ❤️
Rory played on the London Howling Wolf Sessions when the kids in the UK were deep into traditional blues , somewhere there are recordings.
Rory did not play on Wolf's album but played on Muddy's and Jerry Lee's.
Irelands top and finest! Also a damned fine harmonica player as well!
🇮🇪👍☘️
Saw him live in Dublin in 1974 , God I'm old , blew my 15 year old head clean off.
😆Awesome!
Seen the great man in 1972 when I was 18yrs old and have been an avid listener of his music ever since.
the first album I bought was "On The Boards" by Taste when I was a 16 year old back in the early 1970s. Have loved everything by Rory ever since..............
Spreading the gospel of Rory...
❤️🕊!
Truly one of my favorite talents and I have listened to him for a few decades now. Rory never came to America, to my knowledge, because he was afraid of flying and he died far to young, I think in his early 50's but he did some great shows at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Suisse. His electric blues guitar was epic.
Actually Rory did around 23 American tours over the years, beginning with a tour with his first band Taste in 1969, along with Blind Faith and Delaney & Bonnie. Rush opened for him when they were first starting out in the early 70's, and Rory opened for them years later when they were huge. There's a good interview with Alex Lifeson on YT talking about the time they spent together. The fear of flying didn't kick in until the mid 80's after a couple of really bad flights in Norway in 1984. Rory toured America in 1985, but didn't make it back again until his final US tour in1991. There's footage around of his performance on the Don Kirschner show in 1974. Rory was in the US at the time of Woodstock, and could have performed there, but he chose to honour the shows he already had booked for those dates, instead.
Saw him in Tempe, Arizona, on the Fresh Evidence tour. If I'd been paying attention, I could have seen him in Niagara Falls in 1976.
Out On The Western Plain may be my favorite acoustic tune Rory does
We saw Rory live many times. How could anyone sit still listening to this! Fabulous!
Jimi was once asked by a journalist in London, 'what is it like to be considered the greatest guitar player in the world?'... Jimi simply replied, 'Ask Rory Gallagher'
Is é an sársheinnteoir giotáir i gcónaí é
Respect & Peace
I had the privilege of meeting Rory in Belfast Northern Ireland before one of his Concerts we had a pint of the black stuff (Guinness ) he was a gentleman but Robinsons is the best pub in Belfast.
I saw him in "Stadtpark Hamburg". It was raining like hell, but nobody in the audience left the place. After two hours he had finished his show and the audience called for encore. Then he played for another two hours. At the all people were soaking wet,but this was one of the greatest experiences in my life.
We bet! Thanks for sharing Achim!
You need to visit his album , "Irish Tour 74 " his electric playing will blow your mind ....the album is totally live , acoustic and electric.
I had that one, and Rory Gallagher Live
He sounded like himself
Hello from Dublin Ireland love your rory Videos finely people hear his genius check out a song called shadow play and then listen to taste rorys first blues band in the 60s much love to you both from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪❤️❤️❤️
Heyyyy thanks for watching! Shoutout to Ireland!
Rory Bad Penny Live in Montreux 1985. More a power blues rock but ass kicking.
We love Bad Penny! We’ll check it out!
Saw him and his band Taste open for Blind Faith in 1969 in St. Louis. Jim
Great stuff.
Soooo great. Thanks for watching Denis!
You two are killing it, ended my night on Zappa plays Zappa, and sending me out the door this morning with This.
Thanks so much Dave!
saw him live (so long ago) he walked on to the stage with his guitar out of tune and did a ten min solo of tuning his guitar up
Wow!
some things i like to note on this one: he totally misses on the 2nd measure of pistol. it seemed like that put him in a mood of concentration, as messing up can do for musicians sometimes. he downtunes so fast it's jaw dropping. i think he does it in 7 seconds. there are 4 more songs from this RTE TV session on youtube. i don't need to convince anyone that they're phenomenal.
Only Rory!
I saw Rory Live in 87 blew me away big time.
Ireland, Scotland and England helped bring about the blues, jazz and other American pop music forms.
The same structure found in old ballads can be found in many blues and early country songs.
Check out the Pistol Slapper Blues from Rory's "Live in Europe" record when you get a chance. No video, of course.
Better still, get the album...you will not be disappointed!
@@steddie4514 Good point.
Thanks!
Put Rory with the Godmother of Rock and Roll and you really have the best of the best . Sister Rosetta did things with the guitar nobody did at the time and was a major influence on all kinds of music.
Rory Gallagher The Patron Saint of Irish guitar players Surely I can`t be the only one who thinks this? R.I.P. Brother Man
He’s the patron saint of all guitarists to us!
@@SightAfterDark fair point, England, Scotland and Wales who would be the patron Saint from those countries? I wasn't trying to exclude players from anywhere
@@SightAfterDark Rory was recently voted greatest Irish musician of all time ahead of U2 and thin lizzy
Fantastic.
Absolutely! Thanks for watching!
The forgotten guitarists of the seventies so sad 😞 😢
Next..Do You Read Me Live 1979.you will like...😊
Hendrix was asked "whats it like to be the the best guitarist in the word?" he said "I don't know ask Rory Gallagher",.
Love the Joy Division shirt. I got truly messed up with Peter Hook a while back, and it turned out we were Rory Gallagher fans.
Nice!
A unique talent. For years, my favorite acoustic slide song was Johnny Winter's solo version of "Dallas". Ry Cooder and Roy Rogers are good too. And for electric slide : Derek Trucks (with the Allman Bros. and his own band), and Sonny Landreth, who has a technique where he incorporates fretted notes behind the slide.
Excellent players indeed. Minor correction: Trucks didn't officially become an Allman Brothers member until 1999 (was with them off and on in 90's) but yeah he's up there with Winter, Cooder etc and of course this man Rory G!
@@ykmgeedee Sorry, I was having a brain fart. One of my favorite D.Trucks with the Allmans performances is the double DVD of "Live At The Beacon Theater" filmed in 2003 - especially "Ain't Wastin' Time No More".
And, it's "acoustic guitar", to be sure, but that's a steel-bodied National Triolian guitar. Those are blues MO-chines!
somebody's being good to u 2......8).
when someone can sit there with an acoustic and rock it out like that ya no ya got something!
even if u never react to it the most amazing thing i've ever seen on an acoustic is Stevie Ray Vaughan doing Testify live MTV unplugged. mindblowing.
We’ll check it out!
Cool it's amazing
I love Rory, but SRV was different level....just take your example with testify...SRV played that on a 12 string :D
Dang homegirl that's how you got out of it he was ripping that two pieces and putting it back together and rearranging it just playing phenomenal fingerstyle picking slide guitar phrasing and Alternate tuning come on that's why you got I like the Little Hooker thing yeah there was some hooks in there like a thousand hookers haha just saying that songkick Aces and more than Spades fo sho
Clapton who?
Eric what?
@@SightAfterDark Ed Zachary!
Jimi Hendrix was once asked what was it like to be the best guitarist in the world, Jimi replied with, go ask Rory Gallagher that question.
WTF who is this I have to subscribe because I play I'm 15 and I get to introduce this to my friends thank you
Right??? Long live Rory Gallagher ❤️🕊!
On the Mike Douglas Show when Hendrix had become the toast of the town. Douglas asked Hendrix: “What’s it was like to be the best rock guitarist in the world?” Jimi then beautifully responded, “I don’t know, you’ll have to ask Rory Gallagher”.
Love the reaction and that Joy Division shirt. Maybe a reaction to JD?
Thanks! We’d love too! All of our songs are suggested by the patrons!
His name was pronounced Gal-a-her! Not Gal -a-gur The second G is silent.
nice Joy Division t-shirt
Respect & Peace
Thanks and peace to you David!
You get that dont you woman
Ok i get it ur transfixed
people who want to argue that Rory is better than Hendrix or better than whatever...such a stupid argument When they re that good, you just listen and love it. Who is better is such a stupid thing.
Great reaction, the looks on your faces said it all! Rory, as ever, in a class of his own. If you want to see a longer acoustic set, I highly recommend this
Rockpalast 1976 full concert (again in a TV studio, watch him work the audience!) czcams.com/video/gQzOuvWApeA/video.html
Legendary
The 2nd g in Gallagher is silent
your girfriend is falling asleep .
Thanks for watching!
It's pronounced Gal a her not Gal a gur
Leo Kottke get back!
