Is it possible to be any cooler than this? Todays music (the real stuff - not some producers idea of what we want to hear) doesn't suck but back then I could hear so many different types of things. I was in the 8th grade in 1973 and I could watch In Concert or Don Kirschners Rock Concert with Rory Gallagher, Montrose, Grand Funk, Humble Pie, King Crimson etc...... We had variety. I really feel sorry for a lot of young people who are feed Disney manufactured BS. They really don't know music.
I learned to play guitar searching this riff on those days (72,73) when I was in High school . Now I often play this fantastic tune when I take my guitar ... RIP Rory and Thks a lot.
Excellent.!!! Loved Rory, when i was a kid, along with Donovan,Purple, Sabbath, + Zepp, etc,etc. 5***** and shared/faved. Gr8 stuff. Nice 1. Thanks for this 1 Davie..
re: GTRGOD420..... From what I understand, Rory's sweat was very acidic and ate away the finish. That guitar isn't very old. I hear that he sweat so much that his crew had to dry it off with an air-machine, and after long sets they would have to change the neck because is was so soaked. anyone else got info like that?
In an interview with Rory, he said that once he had to remove the neck and let it dry on the clothesline for a day cos it was soaked, so using a hairdryer or anything is definitely exaggeration. The guitar got stolen in the 60's and was taking either sun or rain for some days, this made the finish get a lot more frail. He also stated about his sweating, that was supposed to be very acid and was acting like a paint stripper on the finish after years -> the guitar is 10 years old in this video.
Saw Rory many times & always my fav number - he could have played it all night as far as l was concerned! That stabbing chorus stays with me forever...
He will always be one of the GREAT blue's men - for future generations to discover & enjoy.
Hey Tony,you know I've got them but can you upload "In your town" and " Sinnerboy" from that same tv show from Germany,fans will love it!! thanks mate.
Fantastic, this is a very high quality vid, i love his early 70s stuff. It seems rare to see Wilgar Campell in a video, he looks a little like Duane Allman. Thanks Krahsnif.
I bought "R.G. Live in Europe" in '72. One of the Best live albums ever !!

I think that might be a little exaggerated mistarax,his Strat was stolen and found in a ditch,his sweat did affect the guitar after a few years. 5*
