[nofo427]

[Naavariel]

Amazing solos, love the song since I've heard it for the first time! :)

[MaripozaM]

[JonasSweden1]

Can someone tell me where this song is coming from,eg. album? Can't see it on Irish Tour 74 album or DVD

[gerthie]

@JonasSweden1 look again

[stringbender57]

Rory and Johnny Winter were my favorite Guitar Hero's in the 70's when I was learning to play guitar. Bought every album by these guys. I remember taking a tape of myself atempting to play Bullfrog Blues by Rory to work for my friends to hear about 1974. Some laughed at me and others listened amd were impressed. Been playing professionally for 30+ years now. I laugh all the way to the bank....Ha! Love ya' Rory. You are a bad ass Strat man!

[funkdoctorspoc1]

best blues guitarist/singer of all time him savoy brown,muddy waters,jonny and edgar winter,and my man b.b it doesnt get better,oh and dont forget allman bros..

[DennisF56]

[CasaFLM]

Rory a True Blues HERO! 53 grew up listening to him.

[COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY]

the real musicians like Rory will last

[COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY]

saw him live in new zealand in 1980, and got the poster from the concert too, "Top Priority". 

[joethepainter90]

I wonder who's gonna replace this magic???

[JCB01605]

it doesn't get any better than this

[papymoto54]

still the greatest!

[theypplayed]

Quel talent !

[bigfuntaz]

who are the 2 ass holes who dont like this song are they fucking kidding us

[vislandblues]

@bigfuntaz it was justin bieber and lady gaga

[bigfuntaz]

@vislandblues well they should go fuck them selfs this guy is a fucking god they 3 are nothing and will never be anything

[11gorn11]

a journalist once asked jimmy " what does it feels like to be the best guitarist in the world?"

jimmy said : " dont know man ask rory..."

[MrAngrygary]

@11gorn11 the hendrix story never happened. it was on the dick cavett show and mr. cavett asked hendrix who he listened to and admired. his response was " this guy out of texas, billy gibbons". the greatest guitar player story has been attributed to several different guitarist. though if it really was rory then i would agree 100%

[dermotwalker]

@MrAngrygary Jesus, thank you! It's scary how often a myth/lie gets repeated. And celebrity endorsements are rarely to be trusted. They're usually orchestrated by record labels and utterly redundant. If you've got any feel for the music, you can spot what's 'top shelf': the rest of it is shite.

[DirkjeA]

@dermotwalker Well the story that Jimi hendrix would have said Rory was the best guitarplayer he knew is just a myth, so often told by people who red it "somewhere" or heard it "some place" that it started to have its own life, so often told, that too many people believe it. Had nothing to do with recordlabels or what so ever. It is just myth, nothing more, but funny to see how it spread over the world as a "true" story.... ;-)

[dermotwalker]

@DirkjeA I didn't claim the Hendrix/Gallagher myth was orchestrated by a recordlabel, I just made an observation about the nature of celebrity endorsements and the marketing tactics of record labels. My point was that celebrity endorsements are inherently unreliable. I'm quite aware the Hendrix/Gallagher endorsement was a myth but maybe someone who didn't already know that from reading all the previous postings, will benefit from your message.

[DirkjeA]

@dermotwalker oh, okay i missunderstood. English is not my native language and that was what I thought you meant. sorry

[dermotwalker]

@DirkjeA No problem. There's another, slower version of I Wonder Who, recorded in Belfast in '84 that's well worth a look? ww.youtube.com/watch?v=9Iypw6Z­PAPo

And this version of shin kicker is a blast. Like somebody playing the chainsaw on acid.

ww.youtube.com/watch?v=GazzTFx­XGeE

[DirkjeA]

@dermotwalker Thanx for pointing this out to me. Great version of I Wonder Who indeed. The version of Shinkicker I knew already and I do like it. They do a great job. Have a nice Saterday, greetz from a dutch lady.

[dermotwalker]

@DirkjeA Thanks. I'd welcome any recommendations you might have for overlooked versions of his songs.

[schawill]

Irish tour 1974

i hab schon vieles von Rory gehört

für mich ist die Irish tour 1974 immer noch der Höhepunkt

(und schiesst drauf wer der beste Gitarist ist, blöde Frage)

[blackyareen]

μόνο για τέτοια κομμάτια λυπάμαι που έκοψα το κάπνισμα!

[mimichou53]

j' ai eut la chance de voir sur scène( rouen ) une soirée inoubliable ,que du bonheur et j'écoute toujours ce grand ,toute ma jeunesse

[TheTelefonika]

I love this men! RIP Rory! And God bless you!

[skychurchify]

[ma894]

That screaming guitar is just fantastic!!

[RockyWhyNot]

So THIS is Rory!

Thanx for introducing me to him, Bear!

~Tammi~

[OttovonEarth]

This is the version/recording I like. The first time I heard this was somewhere in 70s and I took it by cassette recorder. Afterwards this has been in CD but I've manage to lose them 'em all... C-cassette... fortunately those times are gone, if I found any I roast it up an' eat it, BURP!

Thanks 4 posting "Audio"zeppelin B)

[Schon2112]

Rory and Beck, My true guitar Gods!! God Bless Rory..May he Rock in Peace....

[bannork]

The best version he ever did, every note sooooo right!

[plopshot3]

hey man could you put up the rest of the 1974 irish tour up i would be forever grateful for it.... PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

[MrMisterblitz]

Rocking Rory 5/5 thankyou.

[69lfba]

Es al lado de Hendrix el mejor guitarrista, compositor, artista que jamás haya existido. Siempre nos deleitará esos blues como nadie lo ha hecho ni lo hará.

[Malmsteenfromhel]

So good, so nice, so every thing i ever wanted to hear... So missing.

[frenk150]

RORY FOREVER!!!

[PurpleAndZeppelin]

Best musician ever!

[dvdsprks2]

This takes me back to a night in the early seventies at the Rainbow Theatre, London watching a Gallagher concert. I'm glad that I went.

[Marcelino1098]

1:01 pure blues, so good!

[originaltbyrd]

to me, the intro is perfect stratocaster tone. this is what a stratocaster is supposed to sound like. i wonder if he's playing thru a bassman on this?

[tcrangle963]

i havnt bn lucky enough to play through a bassman. however i am fortunate enuf to own a usa strat. the most amazing sound. u obviously know what im talkin about

[wildbil2007]

[MilkyMalc]

My opinion - this sums up blues in one.

[meskalitoLen]

JAY JAY JAY!...well...

[anonymouslolxD]

excellent

[hornetrdr]

many , many thanks for posting this video , i saw rory a few times Birmingham and Hammersmith odeon , to name a couple .i still have the programmes somewhere , i played this LP to death in the past , he was an old school hero , his death warranted a few lines in the national papers , the same as Mick Ronson . another guitar great , but i suppose when doherty goes it will be four pages for a week or so

[years80]

Fantastic version Muddy Water's blues. Rory show your blues soul in this music. Guitar with soul and tears. Rory Gallagher shake and dig our souls with your sensibility blues. LONG LIVE IN GOD'S PARADISE, RORY.
