''Lion Locks Rory'' and buckets full of feelings - Every note a feeling every gesture a gentleman-I miss the authenticity big time - tears to my eyes !
This is a great version of this song- from the Hammersmith concert concert 1977-there is nothing about these ones I don't like--there is nothing Rory does that I don't like !
in reply to a comment you made over a year ago, about rory gallagher you said shame hes dead ,oh hes never dead his music lives on and every year we have a big bash in ballyshannon to celebrate that very fact, after all my friend legends never die ,rorys sprit lives on in the music,right now hes in heavens bar with philo ,gary moore,and i bet ronnie drew sharing a word are two about the good old days
A true fucking king of stringed instruments. Saw him in late 70 sumthin but I can't remember the actual occasion. I was totally pissed at the time. What a shame he's gone, I'd love to hear/see him again!
Weened on the Live in Europe '72 version; I didn't think even Rory could top it. Had a little trouble with Lou Martin in there at first; but this has been my favorite for years now. (His solo version for Irish TV's a killer too). Been playing guitar since '72, but got my first mando 2 days ago. Realized it's the bottom 4 strings on guitar backward yesterday, so I'm ready to go. 1st "must learn" tune? Mandolin Wind? Maggie Mae? Battle of Evermore? Nuh uh. "Mama's in the kitchen..." 8oO whoo!
sorry I say it again & again but Rory Gallagher & Steve marriott were the 2 best ROCKBLUES musicians EVER to me. Noone had the grace, humility charm & absoulutely cray natural talent they had. My God this man just shined!!! So sad he's gone. My ideal other world ROCK band is Ronnie Lane, Steve Marriott, Rory Gallagher, Greg Ridley,Nicky Hopkins & Keith Moon! Nothing could touch that lineup to me I'll letcha all have Hendrix & Clapton etc..it's Rory & Marriott for me! I miss real music sigh ...
Still enjoy this song even decades later after I first heard it. Once was tapping an empty Guinness bottle to the rhythm of the song and the bottle got all broke up over it! Bless ya up in heaven Rory!

Saw Rory once in Chicago, he was the best. He never sold out and was true to the music until the day he left us.
