Crest Of A Wave Rory Gallagher

[RickDBRS1]

I had a Sinner & Saint cassette I got while in the Army stationed in Karlsruhe, Germany around 75-76. They don't show it on his website. Must have been a limited run. Wish I still had it.

Check out Joe Bonnamassa playing Rory's guitar in October of this year while in London.

[NewPathsPsychology]

Saw him in the 80s in Duesseldorf, Germany. Long, very long concert .... passionate ... driven ...

[khamsun]

This really is another version of that song than on the LP "Deuce". It's mixed with less effects, the guitar solo of Rory sounds more natural.

Can remember quite good when we saw him live at Karlsruhe, Germany, in 1977...That guy shall never be forgotten!

[eloypath]

I still own the Album Deuce, but this sounds different..

[johnboybaum]

eines seiner besten stücke

[joemangg]

must a been by accident!

[sheepfiddler]

what tone deaf f***er clicked the dislike button???

[missatomickitten]

@sheepfiddler their finger slipped.either that or their a bieber loving troll

[taildragger53]

Personally i think "Deuce" was 50 yrs ahead of time...i 1st heard the album when i was 16 yrs old (in 1971) and to this day the energy, studio echo and rawness leaves me chilled to the bone. Can even hear the bingo caller in the background on certain tracks. Got to meet Rory briefly a couple of times in 1972..what a unique gentleman.

why is there a wooden leg on the video ?

"do you feel like standing on a wooden leg? "

[ColonelFuckwadd]

i wanna see a video of Rory performing this ... i love this song ...

[5four]

some nice pics of one of my favorite players back in the day. i was able to catch rory a few times in the states touring his solo stuff after taste. great memories indeed ! thanks.

[bannork]

I remember singing along with this in Connemara in the early 70s, still love it today. Rory had such a sense of melody, which combined with his unsurpassed energetic rock, took his music to a plateau of his own.

[sasuraiokami]

great!

[marinho984]

En Perú, fue editado el Deuce, la verdad no recuerdo; pero no creo que en 1971, pero; si lo obtuve en acetato por el 74/75 (por ahi); gracias a mi amigo Adrian Vildoso; que me recomendo escuchar a Liam, Uno de los mas grandes de todo los tiempos, o no Blackmore....???....yeessss...­..

[yaminovitchable]

you don't need to be irish to appreciate Rory's music.All you need to be is HUMAN

[Ukabumba]

@yaminovitchable my cat loves it too

[lionVSzion]

i can't get the intro out of my head, since 4 years!

[Irishfreedom]

Fix your spelling of "giutarist" please : )

[tommafioso]

This is not from this planet...amazing...

[bluegreenius]

imagine you're 17....hearing all kinds of commercial catchy tunes on the radio.....lots of crap looking back...then suddenly you pick up accidentally the bbc in concert rory gallagher 71...and you are stunnedand exhilarated by crest of a wave bottlenck solo ripping your little radio apart. luckily i recorded it immediately.i was totally hooked and happy! (check out the bbc in concerts...some of his best stuff)

[locheelad2]

Good for you, your unfortunately rare on YT, check out the "best guitarist " vids, they argue who's best, a guy with a fried chicken bucket on his head vs. guys who play as fast as possible with absolutely no feeling, soul, or TASTE.

[Gallagherfreak100]

You got that right. I agree "bucket head" can shred, with his ten inch fingers, BUT, there is no soul in his music. many of the so called "best"guitarists on the youtube lists are not qualified to be Rory's guitar technician.

[locheelad2]

Right, Soul, Feeling, Heart, Rory had them in Spades, and he will outlive them all in future musical history.

[Plinblox]

I got some live album , cut-out $2, years ago. Blast Off, Rory's my favorite astronaut

[a8anasios666]

[cft08]
