Just like Clapton's Cream, I feel like Taste was the best work of Rory's entire career. The intensity of his playing at that time is absolutely amazing. I liked all of his stuff after that, but for me Taste will always be a cut above. 2 great studio efforts and one incredible Live at Montreaux. He was only 21 in this vid
Methinks the director was trying to make a UFO Club 'happening' vibe (it's 1969 after all) -don't beat up on the cameraman. Think of the band as accompaniment to some acid induced 'freak out' -like Pink Floyd or Soft Machine. TV folk often get these things a bit wrong.
You know how some countries have mandatory military service, well I think all camera men who will be filming great guitarists should be required to have at least one year of guitar playing service before their allowed to get behind a camera. There would be like 10 million more likes:) Thanks for the post-really dig his playing.
I have a feeling that we aren't seeing the bigger picture, literally. The film seems cropped: the writing is slightly off centre, ect. But, yeah there's too many liberties taken by the camera guy.
This is proof of what a brilliant rocking 1st rate band TASTE was. A 3 piece playing with very little equipment who could play many different styles. They were one of those very rare bands that would win you over immediately and whose music would capture your mind for the rest of your life. Is it just me or am I right, In the early days Dave Davies of the Kinks looked very much like our man Rory
I love Rory Gallaher. One of the best blues rock musicians ever. I just found out of his band Taste, and I love this. Thank you soooooo much. Too bad the people tapping this were tripping and not focusing on the band.
This is one of the seminal albums of my youth... and nobody I knew ever heard of Taste. Definitely not played on the radio of that time. But I love this album and still have it in my collection (on vinyl).
This is the only guitarist that Hendrix thought was as good as himself ! Rory and Taste played a few times in my home town BARRY , S WALES , The Memorial Hall , Those were the days !
I seem to remember seeing the play at the Marquee Club in London, but definitely saw them playing in a support role at the Cream farewell concert at the Royal Albert Hall in 1968 - at that stage they hadn't even released their first album!
wonderfull!!ty! Rory Gallagher with the Taste 1969, Live on french TV💕 Set List: 01-Blister on the Moon 02-Born on the Wrong Side of Time written by Rory Gallagher
What a treasure you've shared. Thanks a million and more for posting, otherwise there would be so much we couldn't know. A shame the band is shadowed by the sixties TV way if filming or so ha ha. But at least it's something. The music spirit of Rory and Taste is still there.
They did play blister on the moon on the radio in USA and I remember it but didn’t know the band and thats all I heard of him until youtube 7 yr or so ago.
Rory was a genius.My favourite is Laundromat. When they asked Jimmy Hendrix how it felt to be the greatest guitarist in the world,he said "Don't ask me, ask Rory Gallagher
This is as heavy as the earth Black Sabbath, thanks to the bass and drums no doubt but it's amazing to hear Rory Gallagher using so much distortion... Especially in 1969...On a strat with the stock pickups... I know that back then there already were powerful amps on the market and fuzz pedals and a few boost pedals...But nevertheless his sound is powerful...
Legendary Vox AC30 amp with Treble Boost. Classic sound back then. Brian May always used AC30's with Queen years later. Very powerful band live, I saw them quite a few times in '68 - 69.
Rory linked a Dallas Range master tone booster into his AC30 ( he showed and explained this to a young Brian May ) . Tony Iommi also used the same device with his Laney amplifiers .
@@kevinhodgson8508 It's true that a Vox AC30 can sound really mean especially with that added pedal... But of course it wouldn't be much without Rory Gallagher's strat plugged in it...
does anyone knows what bass/kick drum size did John Wilson played? it looks smallish, like a 20" maybe? and the fact that he's very jazz oriented makes sense with a bop kit... goin' in the wrong direction from other rock drummers of the same era
WTF??? Camera guy f’s up the chance to film one of the greatest guitarists of all time cause he thinks he’s a filmmaker. Instead memorializes himself as a complete loser.
Gas. Could this have been Gallagher's first time on TV? I remember hearing an interview when he knocked the live Taste albums that came out after the band broke up, something to do with the choice of tracks. The two songs here were the 1st Rory ever released, as a single with the previous Taste band. The band's best moments to me were Rory's songs, not Catfish/Sugar Mama covers, which were terrible as songs. Yet Rory & drummer Wilson, on seperate ocacsions, labelled them the fan favourites.

I completely agree. I was lucky enough to see Taste 4 times in small venues and each show was brilliant.
Would have been even better if the cameraman had actually focused on Rory and the band!!!!!

gears. passion. raw power. energy. genius. oneness. vision. use of space. freedom. empathy. jesus h christ this is so visionary.
This is so français: haute couture, cordon bleu, and self absorbed camera work.
😅We can also think they wanted to give the studio and the film a kind of "swinging London" mood ! Ludicrous!
Les Français just don't get it.
RORY IS THE GREATEST EVER: ABSOLUTELY WAY AHEAD OF HIS TIME. I MISS HIM SOOOO MUCH..... RORY RULES!!! 🎸💚👑💞🍀
According to
Jimi Hendrix,
Rory was the greatest.
I loved taste

I checked your saying about Dave Davies : I don't agree! Sorry😀
Just like zz top
I think he looks a bit like Clint Eastwood!
Yeah, probably just you.

Rory Playing Arpeggios in the first song cool he was way ahead of the time
You should check out those early fusion band,way complicated than Rory .
@@user-gt2zg5on7n But are they as cool as Rory? Don't think so!!
This makes me so happy 😊
The very best of them all.Way ahead of his time.
Seen in Rouen this year for the first time

''Capt'n Kirk'' Ok beam me down Scotty !!
..Genius at work !!
His Strat still had quite a bit of finish left in 1969
I think the camera guy was lost at the start of this……..
Loved Taste was my favourite of all that was about then. My favourite that l wore out twice was “Live at the Montreaux casino “
MAGIC ❤️✌️Xx
❤❤ Rory ❤❤ forever ❤❤❤
Irish Cream.
J'aimais quand il jouer avec cette équipe de musiciens. 💐💐💐💐🙋💐💐💐🦉
I love watching him thank you thank you
the best talent blues rock man,and great man

Crazy camerawork!
insane! rory is the best
Trop bon de retrouver Rory époque Taste 👍👍👍
I've been looking for more cool Rory videos! this one just showed up! thank you for uploading. Back when his strat still had some finish lol
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
kind of like the band FM from Canada, way ahead of their time, incredible musicians (saw them live, and they BLEW me away)....
Acabo de descubrirlos, estoy filipando, tocan genial.
One of my fav band
I realize its tv and 1969; but how restrained they are.
The music said it all no need for theatrics with Rory...
They did play blister on the moon on the radio in USA and I remember it but didn’t know the band and thats all I heard of him until youtube 7 yr or so ago.
So this is where Bowie's ideas were formed!
Bowie ripped off everyone his whole career absolute fake...

Hello again your great
Is Rory playing in front of a big yellow knob at beginning of second track? The sixties 🙄😂
does anyone knows what bass/kick drum size did John Wilson played? it looks smallish, like a 20" maybe? and the fact that he's very jazz oriented makes sense with a bop kit... goin' in the wrong direction from other rock drummers of the same era
First like!
Thank you!
Was the camera team on LSD?
The whole show is LSD. No need to pop one.
Rory Gallagher was never "with" the Taste. Rory Gallagher was a third of Taste.
ridiculous camera work obsessed with that lady face
d. Walsh tout à fait d'accord.💐💐💐🙋💐💐💐🦉le bonjour de la Côte d'Azur. France.☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️
I don't know why, but I couldn't stop laughing when I read this. Well done.
I agree! French too I suppose it was the french tv public taste🤣
WTF??? Camera guy f’s up the chance to film one of the greatest guitarists of all time cause he thinks he’s a filmmaker. Instead memorializes himself as a complete loser.
Haw haw!! those 60s hipsters in the audience didn't know how to react!
It's being cool only assholes Whoop holla and jump around.

"French TV" as usual meaning "camerawork that doesn't make any sense"
Criminal camera work. At least the sound people knew how to do their jobs properly.
Were the people on TV nowadays driven by an obsession to do something different?
This is an Irish band on French TV. Don't think it has to meet your American standarads of what constitutes proper "sound and vision".
