Rory Gallagher : Goin' To My Home Town

[bndupton]

I WILL ALLWAYS BE YOUR NUMBER ONE FAN RIP RORY

[xkalivasx]

One of the best guitarist!

[philippechandru]

I didn't know this son from Rory... that's a wonder... I super love it...

[thejobsoxo]

Come on.......tap your feet...

[Cameorge]

wow these guys kill it

[LauYoung87]

The Cologne 76 concert is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. I love it!!!

[NearFarAway]

Luuuve this song.. I use to play this every time I was on the plane in London heading back to Dublin. As soon as I heard that Mandolin I knew I was in for a crackin few days. Rory you are missed. Im sorry I never got a chance to see you live..Your a Legend. x

[MultiUrsela1]

this is 1 of my favourite song!!!!

[lunchboxattacks1]

"Ahhhh Jaysis, lads! Me feckin' mando is a bastard ta tune!" Rory probably wouldn't have said that, although Phil may have if he had played mandolin.

I love seeing all the different arrangements of this song. It's so loose in character that it could toyed with quite easily but obviously all the versions sounded great coming out of Rory, despite any tuning difficulties that may have been encountered. :P

[LiiesbethBxl]

My father gave me his mix tapes from the 70's and 80's. I really start to like blues and rock n roll. I'm actually a punk and grunge lover =)

[bluesboydude]

@LiiesbethBxl punk and grunge = trash. your dad is a great guy!!

[jdesmo4]

I am going to the bluegrass festivle this year, because of "Home." And, Blue Moon, Amazing Graze and Walking Blues. Not to mention Barley&Grape, Which should "crossover" bluegrass and Irish drinking song. Or Bratacha Dubha (6/8 time according to my brother). To say Rory was a lover of music, and his roots...admiration does not cover it. Here is to Rory and the all the posters of all Rory,"Good God brother, you look like you could use one too." Some were too special to live forever.

[bluesboydude]

now i wanna learn to play the mandoline... what do you guys think? give it a try?

[5150mick]

ive wasted my life listening to crap this guy is the real deal

[downunderkev]

@5150mick right on man; I was lucky that 33 years ago I became a believer. Get all his albums; Irish Tour 74 is my favourite

[jdesmo4]

@downunderkev Irish Tour is so Rory, I loaned it to my nephew, along with an original Blueprint. I am going to ask for them back. I gave hin the choice of vinyl Against the Grain or the remaster cd....he took the remaster. I got Irish Tour and Blueprint on remaster, that vinyl is coming home. I am going to find Against and frame the fuker. Iconis, afficiando, rare taste, critical ear, the real music guys get it. Somewhere I got and original Bluprint in unopened celo. Curout for $2.

[czwij]

@5150mick took me 37 years to find this. i know what you mean

[ChefDeenoh]

Ever hear a better mandolin song?

[cantarooots]

Rory is great, i cant believe he fixes the stool when handing it off to the guy...what a gentleman

[smithdsmit]

How did he die?

[netrioter]

@smithdsmit he died from a MRSA infection due to a unsuccessful liver transplant on June 14th 1995 on my birthday...i was bummed out.

[netrioter]

@smithdsmit liver transplant gone wrong...died from MRSA

[mymrmojo]

God bless Rory. A true gentleman.

[november191968]

I've seen every possible video of"going to my hometown" and they are all different!He sounds different,the mandolin is not the same.what was his trick?

[jessupar]

[bo2030]

Love this...Rory kinda favors John Lennon

[fishyboy111]

Awesome! Love Rory! His timing throughout is amazing, also love the guy on piano, looks like the same line-up as "Irish Tour '74". Such talent.

[keefek]

P.S.  Love the duct tape.

[keefek]

Fabulous example of Rory's acoutic talents.

[LesPaulKLO]

Best mandolin blues there is : )

[Guaille49]

Hey Ive gotta dissapoint some of my brothers from Cork. Rory was a Donegal man. Ive lived in Denmark since 73 but im still a Donegal man, so was Rory. Ok Taste was a Cork based group, but Rory was one of us. Anyway Im sorry he left this world too soon and i hope you Corkmen are not too offended. Ballyshannon was his hometown, and thats where his festival is held every year. Love his memory and remember we are all countrymen. VIVA PALESTINA.

[littlefirestarter]

I disagree, the Gallagher family left Ballyshannon when Rory was a year old, moved to Derry for a while then moved to Cork where he grew up and went to school so Cork was his hometown

[jezmundberserker]

@littlefirestarter: You know your Rory history. Well done, son! :-)

[littlefirestarter]

@jezmundberserker: Thank you very much

[twobirdsatswim]

When I first heard this on Live In Europe LP I could hardly believe that something so acoustic could rock so much. It reminds me a little of Mississippi Kid on the great Lynyrd Skynyrd debut album. Should have a national Rory Day in Ireland. Rory and Phil Day.

[NintendoSinceBirth1]

@twobirdsatswim they should have a national rory day on planet earth!

[daviddara333]

@twobirdsatswim they have a rory day type of job up in donegall! id say its class but im still to youg to go :/

[johnnyc2712]

That is one of the best performaces I've ever seen.

[Stepz56]

Takes me back 2 my teenage days of the early 70s when i used 2 go and see Rory play in the Ulster hall around this time of the year...Dec, Jan time. Loved his concerts.

[GuitarGuy5000000000]

I've got the DVD of this. It's great.

[he13ll]

GOD is still alive

[reeesespieces]

fukin amazin makes his band look shit

[chantdelouve]

I miss my homeland , this song speak to my heart

Great song!

[Riptor717]

Woo-Hoo... I love this, many thanks guys... keep throwing them my way I can soak this up just like a sponge.

[joeat963]

Your TOO fast!...or I`m too slow.

[veluby]
