  • Yeeeeeaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

  • I love that he starts the song off by playing basic chords, than plays a basic blues scale literally RIGHT after he plays the chords. Talented arranger, he made it sound like there were to guitarists!

  • Awesome!!!

  • and theyre never be another one like him. I love everything about his music he has a one of a kind style that is never going to replicated and its great that we have the chance to view things we couldnt before. Saw him twice in the 70s and blew me away . Thankx to all who post this stuff.

    s

  • you are the best..

  • I love rory gallagher so much, if I'm depressed i grab my i-pod and ear phones and listen to his songs,listen to the words and the insane voice and guitar as well as the rest of the group and I feel as though he"s singing to me, or he knows true feelings of ones soul. Saw him twice, my opinion is he's the greatest musician ever and its sad because in interviews he says when he's in his 80's he's still going to be playing. What a loss. Thanks to all of you that post his videos for us to enjoy.

  • watch?v=ENvSC_7W-1 - better audio

  • That was fucking beautifull.

  • robin trower like:}

  • @niwrad68 I think you might mean, trower is at times Rory-esque.

  • @jdesmo4 my bad rock-on

  • elég jó a cucc!! végre valami zene!!!!!!!!

  • Thank you for the upload. He was an incredible handcrafter on the guitar!

  • legend

  • Rory is part of the Pantheon of Six: He, Johnny Winter, Eric Clapton, SRV, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page and Michael Schenker. OK, make that seven.

  • One of a kind, Rory he Was, dont make em like that anymore. What happened?

  • Hey Donal, Who gave him the drugs and why are you trying to hide it? It's not what Rory would have wanted. He would have told all guitarists to resist the offers he resisted for so long. With respect... just saying.

  • Lord we all know that you are making the best band there is you have Rory,Jimmi,Dio,Kurt and Syd

  • As a southern,Confederate, red-neck rocker I can say with NO FUCKING DOUBT Rory was  the most talented musician ever.

  • The greats are still trying to get up there with him. Beware of invisible steps I say

  • Ud af busken!

  • 0:50 Rorys guitar prodigy skills playing affected the tv from working temporarily :P

    Sure just give the tv a shlap on the side, get it working fine again

  • without a doubt the most inspirational gituarist scince robert johnson and jimi hendrix............FACT!!!!! FROM LORD BYRON

  • without a doubt the most inspirational gituarist scince robert johnson and jimi hendrix............FACT!!!!!

  • @kqentertainment rory wasent close to as well known as robert johnson or jimi hendrix so how could have he been one of the most inspirational guitarist.. maybe inspirational to you but the majority of people who know jimi and robert have never heard of this dude....i tihnk u mean most talented

  • @thefrost420 im sorry but i respectfully disagree.yes rory was not so well known but he was so very inspirational in his guitar playing.my good friend and many others learnt to play simply because of rory and a good few of them were,like me,very young when he passed.and being 24 now i knew who rory was before i knew who jimi was.but then im irish.i guess rory was not well known in the US but he continues to inspire

  • @missatomickitten GOD bless you, and Rory, he will live in my heart forever! GOD bless IRELAND, RORY and the U.S.A. Thank you!

  • @zony1ful welcome.yes god bless our ireland and your USA forever

  • @missatomickitten

    For sure!

  • very vintage video :)

  • RORY WE LOVE YOU

  • jimi hendricks put it very simply, "rory Is the Greatest", If you want to hear guitar work, listen to the man, Rory

  • amazing guitarist one of the greats and very underated rock on in heaven rory

  • Im So Glad I Found Out aBOUT One Of The Most Underated Guitarist In Rock N Roll History , He Changes The Whole System To Rock N Roll

  • This main riff sounds... I don't know, can't find a word. Rory was fuckin' great, my fav artist ever, probably...

  • 12 guys born upside down

  • When I think about his life/work - I question myself about the bottle being half empty or half full. Such a rich catalogue left behind for us to enjoy, but I also comtemplate the stuff nobody will ever hear now that he passed on so early. He might be a Donegal/Cork boy but somehow it was Mississippi river water coursing through his veins.

  • @gearoiddom only if it includes some bourbon... it should anyway, it's local produce :)

    Rory forever

  • @gearoiddom

    I think you'd be surprised how much rural Ireland and rural America are alike.

  • Amazing. Brilliant music.

  • Makes me feel 35 years younger. Thank the lord that I was pleased to listen to him.

    Sooner or later we all need to discuss with the lord about hidden music and unforgotten geniuses like Rory...

  • Singen mit HERZ !!!

  • I've been playing guitar for going on15 years and I've never heard of this guy and just ran across him today - I'm freakin blow away. Such feeling and talent - amazing...

  • @damrak1969 The deeper you get into Rory the better it gets my friend :) I play guitar as well, I can't believe how intense, yet elegant his playing was

  • THE GODS BROKE THE MOLD WHEN THEY SENT US RORY...

  • Amazing song

  • bad sound quality

  • I cried, a rare thing for me. So beautiful. These slower numbers, the slide gutiar rock ones, and the resonator blues tracks are favourites.

    Who am I kidding all of his work is genius. From Taste and the solo stuff it's all gold.

  • I think he gets inspiration, and influence for this sing in Little Wung by hendrix

  • @VinniciusCedraz sounds like ur right

  • it only adds fuel to the fire baby.......your name......whAt a name.....

  • I like #1:23 until #1:27

  • A damn shame he isn't under the Rolling Stone Top 100, just underrated, the incredible Man

  • @GeneralEisenhower what do you mean damn shame..who gives a fuck...

    man why do you need some stupid top 100 ....just enjoy the mans energy ..

  • thought rory was already in hall of fame-- dont matter -- Rory IS rock&roll-- them schmucks in cinn' aint got a clue!!! Rory is the Man!

  • he looks like he's been sniffin glue! nice guitar though.

  • @jashobbsie sniff your own glue , Rory was on music, 

  • rory was unique. nobody can replacment her.i just drinking my own liver down.

    but no shit we live once

  • @persesaapas her??

  • @bigmanoooo1  yes!

  • @persesaapas err rory was a man.....

  • @bigmanoooo1 okay of couse rory was a man i mess up my typing.i dont type very well.sorry!

  • @persesaapas dont worry about it i didnt realise that english was not your first language i wasnt trying to be a dick

  • @bigmanoooo1 thanks man ,english is not my first language and mistakes are coming.

    lol:) and thats for sure.

  • A strat and a soul big as the universe.

  • If I could just rewrite the pages

    and wake up at peace with the way it is

    R.I.P. Keith T Walsh. We miss you so lil' bro.

  • this song remind me of jimi hendrix's style Amazing

  • he looks like jesus christ! :D

    Amazing

  • i was blessed to see rory twice ,first time in 1979,at 17 years old, at uxbridge polly,blew my socks off , me and my twin btuv from then on for some reasdn always called him uncle rory,bruv even bumped into him at heathrow airport and had a chat a few years before we lost him, his guitar work on this track dances with your soul ,

  • I miss Rory's video "againstthegrains57" used to posted. Where are they gone?

  • @Btonrorychannel I was wondering that myself!

  • Love this song, laid back brilliance.

    Rory was one of the greats!

  • where did youtuber "againstthegrain57" go? and his great Rory videos? Let me Know!

  • @davidsailz I don't know , but why did slow blues, same thing video git gone too, broke my heart,, love that vid. Bring it back !!! Rory is in my soul .

  • ok, every song i watched from this concert make me want to die for not being there

  • the fucking bets there ever was!

  • I am Crying on this song, Knowing hes in heaven now

  • @Dennizzz119 dont cry man he may rest in heavens now but his music stays forever and thats what count R.I.R RORY WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOUR HEAVENLY MUSIC

  • I've said it before and I'll say it again.... Rory was better than the best could ever dream of being!!!! God Love you Rory. May you forever rest in peace!

  • one of my total Favorites from RORY!!! Sweet, thanks for posting!

  • Sweet

  • Why disgrace Rory's name by putting him in the R&RHOF cz they are just putting any old shit in there now. Leave it as it is and let the real fans carry his banner.

  • @OrpheusIsThe1 - preach on, man...... we dont need a bunch of suits to tell us where our bread is buttered.... they dont deserve his name on their putrid walls.....

  • @OrpheusIsThe1 Amen

  • tout ce que j'aime !!!

    Petite melodie enfantine et un gros son derriere ...

    MERCI RORY , J'ADORE !!!!!!

    LONG LIFE IRLANDE / AIRE !!!!!!!!!

  • God haves all Rory's albums!!

  • europes version of hendrix!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @vicky6797 Hendrix actually considered Rory as a guitarist to aspire to. When asked by some media guy how it felt to be the best guitarist around he said to go and ask Rory Gallagher

  • @Chris51 It doesn't mean that Rory couldn't be influenced by Jimi, too. Well, it doesn't really matters. I love both great songs.

  • Rory like every other great player had their own sound and technique, that's what make's a great individual player. Rory loved the interaction with the crowd, not to many great's ever allowed the crowds to get to close, Rory loved the crowd up close, he seemed to have no fear of the crowd joining him on stage or getting down amongst them as many of his vid clips show. I think the more the crowd joined in the better Rory performed.

  • if your listening to Rory enjoy what your hearing , Don' compare others ,, there are so many GREAT PLAYERS . Enjoy each one for what they do

  • dont forget about Peter Green also...

  • Comment removed

  • saw him live in new zealand in 1980.

    Never heard this track till now, very bluesy

  • luv rory. feels it. real.

  • he is the first on my list...

  • SIMPLE THE BEST!!

  • if he was only black ... Rory made hendrix look like a beginner,

  • well thats some performace!!!!

    rip rory

  • best ever

  • Rory really was one of the greatest ...

  • he reminds me of hendrix

  • me too, the way he totally gives himself to guitar and gets inside it - he's the closest thing I've ever seen to Hendrix

  • He's surely up there with the greatest.

  • Ca déconne a plein tube : vraiment dommage

    :-( :-(

  • fucking bad quality sound

  • He looks a lot like John Frusciante from RHCP, especially his mimics, and dressing style.

  • except you know, good

  • but his guitar sounds out of tune, especially in the beginning when there's no distortion on it

  • @at1m6nn I think you mean Fruiscante looks like Rory, he was around a long time before John!

  • Yes, you are right. I drew my impression badly.

  • @road2ruins

    haha as a die hard RHCP fan Rory doesnt look anything like Frusciante.

    the only similarity is the hair & colour of their hair.

    in terms of dress, meh Frusciante actually wears a few check shirts.

    other than that though not really lol.

    you could claim Rory looks like Robert Plant for that matter too.

    ps hear that frusciante has left RHCP?

  • @tvrulesnation yea i heard about that. i was really sad when i found out. john and rory are huge influences for me. rory and john have such similar hairstyles but everything about them is different. the playing style, their background, and their voices ( biggest dfference ) still love both of their music though.

  • lol @ bootysweat .. good movie.

  • why the rolling stone mag does not have rory in the list "100 Greatest Guitarists of all Time? It;s really unbeilivable. Unless I did not read it right...

  • Yep agreed. Especially when Brian May, Eric Clapton and The Edge who are listed cite Rory as an influence.

  • @tilekanibalos

    cmon are you going to trust a list that puts Roy Buchanan 50th,

    Cobain 12th & doesnt even put Rory on the list?

    RS hated led zeppelin when they first came out now they can't stop singing their praises because they have lasted the test of time.

    the magazine is a joke,

    PS dont forget Dylan wanted to do an acoustic album with Rory, Lennon loved his band Taste & johnny marr also cites him as a huge influence (so does slash there is a video up here about it)

  • & your just a dick who likes posting shite on other videos. nobody cares about your opinions, your just a youtube thrasher.

  • I agree with you that Jimi was better, but listen to the sounds Rory was able to create then listen to Stevie... both were great guitarists but I think Rory had an edge on Stevie.

  • well, we could argue about who's better and stuff all year long... But, hey, for the sake of the "fight", let's just mention that Jimmy once said, when he was asked what it felt like to be the best guitarist around, "I don't know, ask Rory Gallagher"...

  • Just so you know, Jimi Hendrix actually said, "you'll have to ask phil keaggy"... just for the sake of the fight :)

  • Stevie could create sounds with his guitar like nobody on the planet, only one who did something similar before him was Jimi Hendrix and nobody else. Stevie's sound was 100% original, raw, big and unique. Rory's sound was great, but nothing compared to Stevie's. Stevie rocked the guitar like nobody before him and till this day there hasn't been such a talented guitar master like him!

  • @tilekanibalos well as soon as i saw kurt kobain and johnny ramone on the list i just gave up all hope.

  • if you listening ,you can hear most of best guitar player in the world.i mean one of the best.

  • If you listen carefully, you can hear the differences between the guitar gods. So stop saying they are a mixture of this and that, cause they ain't.

  • okay wat i think is if jimmy page and robby kriefer had a baby and then chuck berry and stevie ray vaughn had a baby and then somehow those babies met up fuuucked that would be rory gallagher...... yaaaaa haha

  • i meant krieger

  • i beleive you also meant vaughan

  • no no no you have it the wrong idea you have to think of rory gallgher as jesus christ(not god because rory didn't invent the genre, although his sound obviously sticks out a mile) he came down from heaven to show people the way

  • haha exactly!!!doesnt get the worldwide credit he deserves!

  • Thanks so much jmcm02 !

  • God Love You Rory!!

    Once the best, FOREVER the best!!!

  • Rory's no mix...he's Rory...unique Rory...

  • well...lesbursxt,or whatevefr.....he's theb set

  • I am the most cynical person around, but when I hear someone like Rory playing, his music transcends any 'normal' barriers and comes through clean and true.

  • @lesburst Thank you for saying that!

  • @lesburst so you can´b be so wrong....... . Love and light to you!

  • hes a mix between clapton and page with his own irish swagger style my opinion any way

  • not a chance!!

    Rory is rory and never will anyone be able to live up to him, he was totally unique!

    You always here about skandels with other famous people, rory was a straight up guy:)

  • simply awesome..

  • Really great stuff - anything less :-)))))))))

  • love that guitar!!!

  • what year was this

  • It´s a shame that people comments and compares the greatest players (SRV, Hendrix, Page ,Rory...) as if they were some kind of shit..like people saying: hendrix sucks or page sucks..U SUCK damm losers

  • elreydeoros87 - It's true...It's very childish...If any of these cats are players,I'm sure their playing is seriously found wanting in the worst way...Even if one of these players doesn't appeal to them, they can't deny how their impact has shaped the entire genre. Hacks who "suck" don't leave that kind of footprint...

    P.S. Rory is a true king. As is Page, Hendrix,Clapton,Green, Taylor,& Beck...

  • about the paint job: i read somewhere that it was stolen and deserted in a ditch for a few days by the thieves before being re-united with its owner.

  • His brother Donal must have it now.

  • If you use a tool long enough, it will wear. .Rorys' Strat was"very tastefully, for very long" played. The longer he used it, better it sounded, no doubt.

  • there is no other like him... Rory & The GREATEST of Ireland , drink a Guinnes wherever you are

  • Sweet, sweet Rory...

  • You can tell he liked hendrix's style.

  • hendrix liked HIS style... when hendrix was asked 'what does it feel like to be the world's greatest guitarist?' he replied 'i don't know, ask rory gallagher.'

  • If Jimi were alive in the 1980's and asked that question, he would have said " I don't know, ask Stevive Ray Vaughn".

  • lol! nice answer bro! Love it!

  • Thanks.

  • NAH

  • its true, his sweat made the paint strip because of his blood type, look it up.

  • "sweat that strips paint" now ive heard it all. what, do ya think hes sum sort of x-man.tool.

  • reeesespieces("sweat that strips paint" now ive heard it all. what, do ya think hes sum sort of x-man.tool. )WOW!! I can't believe you got a bunch of "thumbs down" on that comment. People cling desperately to their myths.One Cat says "look it up" as if " it's on the internet" holds some water.Sad.Oh well, it's the perfect instrument for the man. Or, should I say,"THE MAN".Tortured Strat+tortured man= Haunted, tortured,beautiful Blues

  • well people like to know snippets about there heros i suppose, make them feel like there a bigger or better fan.

    all anyone need s to know is that he put 100% into every performance, he loved what he did and that hes the best darn guitarist ever to have lived

  • 200% man all his energy and talent for his audience pleasure and i LOVE him for that

  • Wow. You attempted grammar and then apparently stopped in between letters and words...

  • NaturesGlory- Wow, you attempted to be a pompous ass & achieved stellar results...

  • Always trying to be best I can be ^.^

    Nice to see you've seen my point about the grammar, though! =D

  • So beautiful....

  • Thank you! I like this song so much!!

  • Such an oldddddddddd stratttt must be 30 years old, at the time of this show!

  • in that case that strat would have been made in 1949 ....strats werent around back then... duh!

  • Lol I was exaggerating. It just looks like a relic is what I mean.

  • it was the first strat to be brought into Ireland when he bought it

  • but in fact it is old. Rory owned the first strat ever brought to Ireland, the '61. so it makes it almost two decades old on that specific gig. he had some time to scratch it ;]

  • and his sweat is like paint stripper due to his rare blood type

  • He left his strat on rain

  • Rory is God! :D

  • Definitely headset music !!!!
