Rory Gallagher - Shadow Play

[SpizzEny]

The best die young...

[lunareclipses]

Saw rory Gallagher at the Second British Rock meeting...Germershiem Germany May 1972,,,

He was SO HUGE in europe...He and a German band were the only two that went out on live radio at this woodstock of Europe. Also Pink Floyd, Humble pie, The Faces. and many more ...what a memory and Rory is Awesome still RIP

[phobkirk2]

Rory doesn't have the profile he deserves - the man was a genius, thanks for posting this.... took me back to me teen years :-)

[johnhrey52]

I sure miss Rory

[GeneralEisenhower]

Gerry haveing FUN :D

[2010welshy]

fuckin brilliant!man was a genius!

[liakosful]

How the fuck that people there stay so calm after this???

[vladdarkprince997]

no dislikes there...! how could?

[Gerry63033]

outstanding

[KILLEMALL69888]

This video is a perfect example of Gallagher not being well know and here's why: One of the biggest crocks of guitar solos was that Eddie Van Halen created "tapping" and where most of the world are led to believe that, but the technique was endorsed by early blues players and clearly here by Rory a live concert 1 year after Van Halen's formation. Point of the matter, he will today and future days be the most underrated guitarist of all time

[jdesmo4]

@KILLEMALL69888 Personally, for me at least, putting Rory at the top of the list would still be underrating him. Rory was a one of a kind, they truly dont make them like him anymore. A day doesnt go by that I dont listen to Rory, attempt to play some rory or just contemplate some of riffs and songs. Rory will always be my favorite. best? Who cares, no such thing, but Rory was the best.

[mistybucks]

Personally I think its testiment to gallaghers music that noone who even considers disliking this, veiws the video. Predominantly due to how awesome it is

[nikolio1000]

i think its 1979 but i'm not sure...

[bornwithoutwarning]

@WeAreLungmustard just keep taking your meds, dude. they're good for you.

[Gallagherfreak100]

@bornwithoutwarning he ain't taking his meds; that's the problem

[Gallagherfreak100]

@WeAreLungmustard You obviously weren't paying attention in high school health class when they advised "sniffing glue will lead to brain damage"

[csopr]

Magnificent.

[uafrankie]

"Shadow Play" was on Rory's 1978 album Photo-Finish. How can this be of 1973, I'm wondering?

[vagourosabros]

Uncle Rory!!!

[joekoool102]

sorry not a Joy Division cover. It's a Rory Gallagher original

[doobdeeb2]

Probably the best Joy Division cover ever!

[djconFFS]

@doobdeeb2 LOL.

[adakenna]

[WhoIsPine]

@doobdeeb2 joy division didn't exist when this was shot.

[frankmaiello]

[nikolio1000]

rory's the best!

[geordie54]

Le public est composé de momies.....

[ALEXMAN872]

@geordie54 Bah ouais c sur que pour du gallagher, je donnerait tout pour aller le voir mais malheureusement c'est trop tard

[waterfoxj]

born with the connection to the guitar so natural I think thats why he was out on his own for pure talent

[leobrodinho]

The best performance ever of this song for the worst audience ever...

[garagerocker48]

very nice with lots of fun

[EdVidz]

That is one dead audience.

[irishalliekat]

You are a gentleman Mr Gallagher, I've been told Madeline Graham said so, bless you! rip.

[redrory1000]

@irishalliekat

Who is Madeline Graham?

[wicker1985]

And all this time i thought, i had a good sense of what a guitar player should be like. What a fool i was...

Rock on Rory Gallagher !!!!!

[tariksba]

is it Simon Phillips ,on drums ?

[TheNewMusicMovement]

@tariksba

I think its Ted McKenna actually....

[comidaparaperros]

1:25 eso es un solo de guitarra y lo demás son tonterías

[MrFenderkev]

Brilliant!!

[waterfoxj]

unsurpassed

[scootahish]

It is Gerry McAvoy and Ted McKenna

Gerry still plays and Ted,i beleive is a professor at a Uni in Scotland....

Go Figure that....

I saw them in 1976 when i was 15....

[leobrodinho]

@scootahish Besides Rory (a monster) those two are superb. This recording is perfect, by far the best version of Shadow Play. You can see it just looking at the smiles...

[tiponin23]

100,000 listens are mine...many individuals help shape ones life. Thanks Rory for being part of my life.

[crisbling]

eddie van halen invented tapping when??? umm think rory beat him to it.........

this performance makes my hairs stand up on end. god bless you mr gallagher.

[rocknrolla81]

@crisbling Evh invented tapping? I think that was Harvey Mandel that won that one!

[crisbling]

eddie van halen invented tapping when??? umm think rory beat him to it.........

[don62snodgrass]

To leobrodinho; I'm pretty sure that the bass player is Gerry Mcavoy and Ted Mckenna is the drummer........again, I'm not positive, only pretty sure.

[don62snodgrass]

A VASTLY underrated group! I wore out the live album, not cd, album Stagestruck when I was in my twenties. What a great party album! Ah the days of youth!!

[leobrodinho]

Someone please tell me the name of the bassist and the drummer? Tks

[barblessable]

poses ?Just listen to them,Rory didnt pose he just did it .

[barblessable]

I saw Rory live and he really connected with us, the audience hear must be soulless, I m 60 and Gallagher still gets my feet stomping.

[nadinechevalier]

1973 ??? Never , because the drummer is Ted McKenna . It will be 1978/79 then .

[quercus1959]

@nadinechevalier , You're right, in 1973 Lou Martin and Rod de'Ath played with Rory and Gerry McAvoy

[marigiannadounis]

GREEKS LOVE RORY!!!!

[TheTelstar008]

The, very much missed, and taken from us much to soon Rory Gallagher.

A, guitar legend in his own right, and this track must be amongst his finest.

God Bless, and Rest in Peace.

[choppergr]

The audience... sucks!!!

[argilemaniac]

This must be my 12000 view of this video!!!!

[leobrodinho]

@argilemaniac 500 views are mine!

[leobrodinho]

@argilemaniac 500 views are mine!!!!

[tokojojiji]

Zakk Wylde and Kirk Hammet my a**!They maybe good but they cant even compare with this guy.

R.I.P Rory

[MrConeman]

@tokojojiji I'm a big Zakk fan. Not much of a fan of Hammett....

But neither of them are worthy to kiss Rory Gallagher's shoes.

[tokojojiji]

@MrConeman Agreed.I mean all these guys were influenced by Rory.Randy Rhoads,John Fruiciante,Zakk Wylde,Kirk Hammet,Slash etc.This guy was just amazing.

[MrConeman]

@tokojojiji Randy Rhoads is amazing in his own way too (have you seen the newly released trailer with new footage on it?, and I'm a huge fan of Slash :) )

[tokojojiji]

@MrConeman Yeah man I also LOVE Slash and like Randy's style a lot but what I'm trying to say is that they were all influenced by Rory.I mean go to 2:02 The lick he plays kinda reminds Randy Rhoad style of playing doesn't it?

[jimitheater]

@tokojojiji ok thats kind true in 2:02. But remember that rory was playing 10 years or soething earlier than randy..maybe he was one of his influences!!

[themeliskittos]

O Rory gama j ressi

[amimillie]

Great drummer and great bassist - unfortunately when you are standing next to a God you do tend to fade into the background somewhat.

[amimillie]

Could there ever be words enough? No. God Bless You Rory.

[andrew07170821]

[17lio]

Don't think this post was recorded in 1973 but about in 1978.

Never mind, this is the best of the G-Man

RIP Rory, still on my mind forever

[Still1Going2Strong]
