Keep coming back to this performance as I think most people who've seen it do. It's just phenomenal. It's the nearest I 've seen to what it was like seeing him all those times, all those years ago.That band had worked hard over a period of time to get to this standard. Rory's playing is wonderful throughout and gets even tastier at around the 7 minute mark.... but ultimately this is also a band performing at the top of their game.
I saw Rory and the same three, Jan 28,1976 and they were just as tight then. Front row, center, hands on stage. I could reach out and touch his mike stand. He opened for Kansas...can you imagine trying to follow an act like Rory and the boys put on? Rory blew the house down and Kansas never played. "Equipment malfunction."
you have to remember that in 1975 no mtv or big record contracts it was the music only, saw him in st.louis a small club i sat right in front of him about 25 feet away, he played his heart out, not alot out there today like him
Rory makes playin the guitar and singing look like kid play. Anyone whos really done this knows how hard it is. Agreed on this night being very special, like being in the zone. Every one of these songs from Madrid seem to be my fav. of the songs played that night.
3:18 what does the drummer do? i can't really see but its like he replaces/drops one of his drumsticks onto a part of the drum & scrambles it up again
WOAH i thought i had seen it all, then along comes this version although the quality isn't great & Rorys vocals are a bit harsh on it jesus his guitar playing is spot on.
its nice to see his actual movements & playing (the irish tour for some fucked up reason zooms right onto his face for like 3 mins of the solo)
seriously though what a bent way to die :( almost ready to check out & to pick up a virus, JUST 6 odd more years & i would have been a decent age (10-14 years old) to have seen him
@milo1955 Saw them in 75 without keyboardist Lou Martin still tighter than a fishes ass. Best I ever saw or heard and 35 years later nothings changed miss you Rory
Rory95-Of all the video/film out there on Rory Gallagher and band, this has got to be one of the most (if not the most) intense, well shot, great performances of he and his band. Not just this song, but all the songs you have provided from this concert. Thanks so much. Donal, if you see this message, please obtain this performance and make it available to us, thanks.
Rory sei grande. Potenza, fantasia, rapidità, dolcezza: tu sei riuscito a tirare fuori questo in unica canzone. Da 6:38 penso che succeda qualcosa di magico.
I agree. A man after me own heart. Always thought the Irish Tour version was one of if not the best Live recording ever then saw and heard this, wow! Then of course Rory was turning in best performances every time he played.
