[fondofrory]

Untouchable ... No one guitaris of this world can play great like him .

[Orion3785]

i kithara..meta apo auto...arxise na milaei....

[darkvadortonpere]

Pff this guy was awesome...

[wattsenough]

This is Rory at his finest. His playing is on the edge and his timing is perfect. Plus he is working the audience for the music and not some ego trip. This is the total Rory Gallagher performance. It doesn’t get any better.

[vics23ful]

first time hearing this guy what a genius

[asdesas]

@vics23ful Congratulations, what an introduction! Hope you enjoy the deep, wide, wild, rockin and soulful world of Rory. Warning--it can become life addiction/journey!!!!

[tataso]

Rory rules men!

[xMETALHEART137x]

Η ΚΙΘΑΡΑ ΗΤΑΝ ΚΟΜΜΑΤΙ ΤΟΥ ΣΩΜΑΤΟΣ ΤΟΥ

[xMETALHEART137x]

ΟΛΟΙ ΘΑΥΜΑΖΟΥΜΕ ΤΟ ΠΑΘΟΣ ΤΟΥ..... Η ΚΙΘΑΡΑ ΕΓΙΝΕ ΓΙΑ ΠΕΤΑΜΑ

[Esau2507]

his guitar could not stand the epicness of Rory

[pullingworld]

was eine Gitarrensau

[dekjem]

This gives me goosbumps everytime i look to this song:D

[engineer1234100]

Thank God that I made the right decision in 94 between watching Rory or Jethro Tull in Manchester I picked Rory little did I know it would be the last time. One of the greatest guitar players to ever grace this earth. It's great that there are bands like Sinner Boy to keep his memory alive !

[ath8]

This is rock,no more expressionns.

[dobson1202]

The thing I love about Rory is that he always seemed to be having a total blast whenever he was onstage

[njrun]

@lonestar awesome

[bruceisjack]

The 1 here who dislikes this is still searching who his/her real mother is

[bruceisjack]

I'm here sittin' on my chair...crying...thank you Rory!!!

[lunchboxattacks1]

Always knew Rory was a high energy performer although I've never seen him quite as keyed up as here, getting right down in the peoples' faces and all up in the camera. All the better though :)

[lonestar1259]

The only bad thing about watching Rory is I can't stop after I get started.Now I gonna be up all night.  Good thing I got a little weed and no job.

[rosyface2k]

@lonestar1259 same here. supposed to be doing my thesis. Been waatching rory for 2 hours.

[imprettystoned]

@lonestar1259 Amen Brother!!!!!

[PurpleAndZeppelin]

@lonestar1259 Weed?? Very bad, that are queer. It must have WISKI and beer and no job.

[TokeBoat]

@lonestar1259 one of the best comments i have ever read on youtube cheers

[MrTenitis]

@lonestar1259 Funny! Been there!

[Zooperman89]

He wasnt playing the guitar,he was making love to her

[pcvogels]

And thnks for sharing!

[pcvogels]

I might have seen this a Million miles...euh times, and every time I watch, it even gets better... I pitty the MTV generation...for this is REAL ROCK, PURE & HONEST!

RORY LIVES ON!

[duff2000]

One person how looked at this is an IDIOT!!!!. Probably a Justin Beiber FAN!!!.

[colymurph]

i'd say he was after a few pints of beamish that day. never mind all those flashy guitarists with their amps that go to 11- rory could have played a plank of wood and blown them off the stage

[leeroy75]

@colymurph rofl

[shonkhuulai]

What a take...... Thx for posting!

[cashallen]

Check this guy out, if you watch one version of a song and 10 others of the same song, he's so spontaneous and brilliant that all are as good as the next. You can see him feed off his fans and he would preform like he loved what he was doing,he dug what he was doing and gave it out like no-one else did. I think he's watching us from Heaven and knows how much we love him. Thanks for sharing.l

[asdesas]

Happy birthday, Rory, God we miss you.

[Qoooba95]

im sorry fo this question but i dunno Rory's songs 2 well what is the title of the first one?

[asdesas]

@Qoooba95 Hi Qoooba, this whole vid is one song, Shadowplay. Lots of versions of vids of Rory playing it on Youtube--one of the greatest riffs ever. Rock on.

[GeneralEisenhower]

is he drunk ? :-P

[sindrenord89]

@GeneralEisenhower he was know to be an heavy drinker , so probably he was a little drunk but he still rocked as hell and was a genuis:)

[TheDragonfly1987]

lol i cant understand what hes saying,except " shadow play"

i like the performance : ) lol its kinda funny too

[bigmanoooo1]

great performance but it gets a bit vaudeville at the end with him telling off his guitar

[amimillie]

Beat this? Not a fucking chance.

[jimdale53512]

I do believe, this is likely the best version, of Shadowplay. I am just lucky enuff, to have this dvd, But he was one of the best, if not the very best, in our meager, existence, I thank God, for Rory, albeit a too short existence, I just pray he is in rock and roll heaven, and traring it up, like only he could do!!!!

[fnf4ever1]

thank's,Rory and long live to the IRA for the last battle over England.

[katisthestar]

#shenstone,

Agree with you 100%.

If he still lived I wanted to see him play together with Gary Moore. Two Irish superstars - a blast of geniusx2 fo sure.

Happy to have seen Rory live twice in Copenhagen (1979 and 1981).

[sindrenord89]

@katisthestar and now they both are gone unfortunately, but perhaps they are rockin' it up in heaven?

[shenstone]

a genius who tears every note, every bead of sweat and every last breath night after night for you all -

[pascal27able]

I was at this concert. Rory taught me to give everything on stage, without cheating.

[son23goku]

who's clapton, slash, hendrix, srv...... nobody expresses the same feeling through his guitar as Rory!!!!!!!!!!!

[jonbexx]

met this man in glasgow before a gig at the famous glasgow apollo,what a gentle man,what a concert,r.i.p. my friend

[hoserintraining]

The music just flowed from another realm. You feel it when you watch him. Other gifted musicians just don't have it. Straight from a higher power. God lov'em.

[niagaraorbust]

oh my good lord, that if you are a raw loving guitarist extrdinaire. then there is only Rory. There is no playing like this. Nothing.

[clerkhog]

a film should be made of rory. the soul and passion could teach us all to go do what ye want in life and just go for it. theres nothing fake he gave us everything in his performances.

[glossy104]

The guy was a genius by ANY standards. Wish he was around for my recordings ... well I can dream, & I sure can be inspired

[ThePowerslave94]

I was born a bit too late =(

[MrFreakeyy]

@ThePowerslave94 and aint it sure rubbed in our faces with the pop shit thats out now... !

[ThePowerslave94]

@MrFreakeyy unfortunately, i was actually at a gibson recording studio not too long ago ( even tho i play strats) but i was playing a really expensive acoustic guitar jammin on gallagher (i'm pretty sure the other people that just played g chords left as soon as i did) and some old guys started jammin with me, point of the story one of em asked me if i could name the best new band, oviously i cant think of any can you...

[MrFreakeyy]

@ThePowerslave94 Ahhh... I play fenders too... have myself a fender jaguar ;D (dont get me wrong, its preowned... im not great at playing... hope to be though! only young yet!) and i mean yeah... theres bands i like... but... none of them just stand out in anyway special... and its all about tv. music video's and money... No heart no soul...

[Deckerswill]

@ThePowerslave94 You are not the only one!!!! :-(

[Duffspur]

best live performance ever. proud to be irish

[shonkhuulai]

This guy was hell on stage. Glad to see him long ago at open air on Lereley, Germany.

[6sixpounder6]

I wish my generation had performers like this.

[Kirschenrock]

Oh my god, thats it, i love this song, especially this version!!!!!!!!!!!

[boogs1959]

who else would wander off into the crowd, I ask Ye!!!!

[nalac01]

Legend, makes you proud to be Irish

[msstevie1951]

Nothing like watching a man completely content doing what he loves most & does best.Is it true a reporter once asked Jimi Hendrix "what's it like to be the best guitarist in the world?" and Jimi replied "I don't know ,you'll have to ask Rory Gallagher" If so I believe Jimi was right! ♥♥ I love this man♥♥

[Thecharliejay1]

amazing :)

[IrishWanderer]

About as electrifying a start to any song ever made...simply amazing...

[MrConniebohm]

what the hell are we missing FU M.T.V.

[Grumberf]

RIP RORY I'll rock with ya when i dies!

[Grumberf]

It's funny That Rolling stones asked Rory to join them.. Rory.. he took his guitar and flue to Paris. But he saw that Rolling stones was in china so he flue back, lucky us that he didnt join Rolling stones that nite!

Personaly the only song I kinda like by Rolling stones was Paint It Black else I prefer Rory He Is a ledgend a true *Rocker*

If you ask anyone to make a cover on Rory Gallagher songs none can jsut look I've seen none cover at Tattoed lady nor Shadow play!

[sindrenord89]

@Grumberf didn't he also just leave a message to The Stones "gone on tour, Rory" and that was it, he didn't give a shit about them:p

[cookieinthewoods]

Rory is the greatest and he doesn't need some two-bit piece of shit Rolling Stone article to justify it. I get really annoyed how underrated Gerry is too, tremendous bass play - you have to be to keep up with Rory Gallagher.

[treloloko]

sultan of swing...

[makarracom]

Rory is God

[PsybertronIan]

Keep coming back to this vid. Simplest riff ever, repeat for 10 minutes .... and it's as good as it gets.

[GTWHITEFEVER]

The King 

[bigmanoooo1]

that guitar was like an extension of rorys body, like a samurai swordsman the guitar was his religion

[randyrhoadsfan616]

How the hell does this video has so few views??? This performance is one of the quintessential moments in rock n' roll. Songs like this are the reason I pick up my guitar every day!

Cool stage moves+amazing band+humble frontman=Rory Gallagher...Amazing!

[rockncleve]

@randyrhoadsfan616 amen Randy amen.......strat master

[drocloce]

Hey,

Won a radio contest. Rory presented me with the prize on air (Oct 10,1979).

He opened for Jefferson Starship (yeah, Jefferson Starship) and his performance LIVE is terrifying! The harmonics you hear in the video kinda imitate his use of volume.

A complete gentleman offstage, A killer on.

Best regards.

[tariksba]

one of his best song performing live...

[tp10488]

A truly magnificent musician at the top of his game.

Sorry, but there's never going to be another like him.

[Mechazawa3001]

This is the best live performance I've ever seen! Rory's guitar got tired but he didn't! He is no human being, he's a rock magician!

[ramonthe3rd]

this is so good!! my father always told me to listen to rory, but i could not believe that a white man was gonna play any good!!

[196Stefan2]

Ehrliche Musik, ehrliche Musiker!

Rory gibt Alles....

[bluesfashion]

wth effects are he using??

[trigmachine]

@bluesfashion sounds like a phaser probably an old mxr or similar

[gibsonacdckid]

@bluesfashion phaser.

[vintagezigg]

I plan to watch this on my deathbed.

[marcusgael]

@vintagezigg

Right on!

[eraffel]

@vintagezigg I'm with ya, along with Hot City Symphony by the Sensational Alex Harvey Band.

[dublinirishkelt]

i wish i had a time machine too!!!!! my da introduced me to him.rory he was a legend personily i think he was well better than hendrix!! he 10 times more songs in his arsenal and the best part of them were rocking!!! long live rory i hope his songs are played forever

[njrun]

a master at the guitar a fucking god amen rory.....

[TheSimbole]

grande RORY THE BEST

[SAKISGARAS]

NOW THATS WHAT I CALL A PURE MUSICIAN...R.I.P.

[cuninglinguist]

Really a great piece . He could sure play . Got to see him 2 to 3 times in small clubs in SF . Was such a kick . Thanks for posting it .

[mcgyverracing]

Read Gerry McAvoys" book "Riding ShotGun" my hunch was right on with who he visits in the audience. Thank you Gerry for the outstanding book you penned.

Oh, 5 million stars for this performance. Hello Ted, can't forget you and that pounding drum style keeping the pace!!!!!!

Rory just knew who would click in his band.

[clohen1]

on n'oublieras jamais cet irlandais délicieusement fou ( lol ) la musique avec le coeur et parfois l'alcohol  RIP RORY !!!!!!!! forever

[mixalis6890]

the miracle of alcohol...

[Ahkunah]

I've seen this stuff a hundred times but I never will get enough of listening and watching

Rory and his band.

[AtropostheInveitable]

he's best absolutely he's the best :) it's just genius

[yippierb]

this is one of the greatest performances of all time.( well maybe Reading 80 beats it but no vid). Rory is the most underrated . that don't mean shit to those of us that love him

[torajamiddle]

Woow.... Call up memories of my younger days. When I was early teen, he had to be

a kind of the guitar hero in the East End of island country(Japan). Still now, sometimes I play his tunes....

[fbcorcoran]

Listening to this never, ever gets old.

[shinookable]

If one day you'll find the machine,could i join you ?

[nebadon]

. . . how wish i could have been the guy at 4:00. what a lucky man ! ! !.

[rocknrolla81]

why i think the rock n roll hall of fame is bullshit is because of rockers like Rory they overlook when Rory is one of the best damn players out there with kick ass songs. Nobody played or sounded like him. He had his own sound. RIP Rory.

[mcgyverracing]

Happy Birthday Rory. Your music will live forever.

[katisthestar]

31 years since this performance and still an unforgetable one performance.

R.I.P Rory.

[ledzeppelin992]

He sure enjoys himself in this one... :P

[Panufo]

This really messed with my head when I saw it around 1982...

[OctopusButterfly]

Attention hein, je tiens à dire que je suis un très grand fan de Rory, c'est pour moi le plus grand guitariste que le monde ait jamais connu, le plus admirabe musicien, un homme vrai et bon. Mais je trouve qu'il y a un bruit de fond désagréable, sur cette version, et ça gâche un peu le morceau, que je préfère interprété sur d'autres concerts.

[17lio]

C'est pourtant, à mon humble avis la meillleure version de SHADOW PLAY.

C'est peut-être l'effet flanger qui te dérange ici, peu utilisé dans les autres versions.

[Magnus103i]

Classic Best.

[75gilles75]

je pense que c'est ici ce que rory a fait de mieux ...le solo est sans doute le meilleur qu'il n'ait jamais joué

fabuleux

[Zerjionet]

wow!

[toumpeki]

To solo dn yparxei.. theos.

[PurpleAndZeppelin]

Is the best

[ronlechien]

merci pour cette vidéo et quelle morceaux et que dire de l homme.

[vandeeman79]

makes me proud to be irish what a legend, makes you want to jump the fuck around

[GeekG]

is this a phaser effect that runs in the background all the time, or is it just a natural effect of the sound? do you know?

[CamelClass]

@GeekG It is an effect pedal and I'd say it's a flanger, subtle difference to a phaser.

[lespaulina]

@CamelClass that's it

[23Geremy]

great live version of an excellent studio recording from Photo Finish

[lespaulina]

he could make that strat speak like no other rip rory <33333333333333333 sadly missed

[PurpleAndZeppelin]

@lespaulina This solo is the most incredible and magic solo of the history. no other musician as him, no other person as him.

[17lio]

I'm still wondering how Rory did not to walk on his wire.

The really best of the G man.

[PurpleAndZeppelin]

@17lio This fuckin' song is a fucking magic.

[MrRGallagher42]

wow thats some energy. and briliant playing

[DerSchill0r]

this is so goddamn awesome! it just blew my mind...and it made me smash my headphones haha

[freedomsoldier187]

fuck this 2000 shit why wasn't I born then !

[crisbling]

ye ha rory get it outta ye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! fuck srv fuck hendrix fuck clapton this was the BEST strat player ever!!!!!!!!!!!

[gustavofprj]

Oh boy... you can see that Rory's enjoying himself and giving everything he has on stage. That happens in almost every Rory video that I see. Guy was so full of energy and music, gotta love him. All our love, Rory!

[phantomhelm]

And yet another sublime solo from the greatest rock'n'roller who ever walked this planet.

How I miss him

Never stop rockin Rory

[rockncleve]

@phantomhelm sublime hahaha u rock helmski

[daneknight33]

why do I always trip out on his vids? guess I keep thinking of days gone by

[CyclistD]

crazy irish maniak was a genius.....

[stuka52]

One thing I forgot about Rory was (I saw him in 74 and 79) he was loud! I saw him at the Cleveland Agora which was not a large hall. My ears were ringing for 3 days.

[17lio]

What where you expecting from a Rory's concert? You're really lucky to have seen him live. If I had , I wish my ears had rung for centuaries!!!!

Peace

[loai050]

He wanted everyone to be just as in to it as he was.

[GeekG]

yeah but everyone wants that, and he really had the talent to make everyone into it. passion is contagious. real passion. not just "faking a show" like many players do. people get the difference

[jvandle]

a bit repetitive there eh?

[Gallagherfreak100]

The most "electrifying" performance I've ever seen. Again, Rory makes every one else look like they were going through the motions. The energy crackles and emanates from him, like he was just struck by lightning.

[PurpleAndZeppelin]

best song ever

[Donnerkopp95]

I had the great Honour to see live in 1985 and 1987,ans I still remember,IT WAS FUCKIN' GREAT!!!

[kaaremann]

fuck, he is a Guitar god, man . That was amazing !

[PurpleAndZeppelin]

he is more than Guitar god

[silector]

Dude if u find that timemachine dont forget me!!!

[jacopman]

Seems like Rory was a guitartist for the people?

I don't know much about him but he seems to want to bond with the everyday joe/jane of the audience?

[Stoned1959]

great show , rory is great performer !

[konmikro21]

ok i'll close now i'll go for sleep... i have seen them all... i don't have to see anything else after this video...

[PurpleAndZeppelin]

oh yes!!!

[Thanos84]

@konmikro21 Ellhnaras lol, "I've seen them all!"

[CyGabriel]

fuck me man..

Rorry was no guitarist..

HE WAS AN ACT OF GOD..!!!

[RobGordon07]

The solo at 03:06 has some "Sultans of Swing" vibes.

Stunning performance!

Absolutely correct - Sultans is in it - and Rory made a top performance as usual.

Hope this is also on the Montreux DVDs which i will buy.
