read an interview with Gerry, he claims him and Rory was so acutely attuned that he knew when Rory would(was about to) play, and after decades on the road together that must have been true
omfkin GOD This may be the greatest rock video of all time!!!!!!!!!@!! my teenage sons are still amazed that I shook yer man's hand in Cleveland (Agora}. Sorry Dwana you were in Georgia then or we would have met
If i had my way this vid would be compulsory in all schools and played to teenagers at regular intervals as an example of how live music should be played.Your memories of that meeting in Cleveland must be fantastic.
Wow what a great version good job finding this one. Just fantastic, Probably my number 1 rock tune of all time. My name is also Rory, and I saw him twice Niagara Falls, and Shea in NY. (Hiched 450 miles to make that show).
Saw Rory at the San Bernardino Swing Auditorium early 70's with Deep Purple and Fleetwood Mac. Rory was the opening act and I KNOW FOR A FACT he had Ritchie Blackmore's respect and admiration!!! Tough act to follow??? Without a doubt, one of the greatest,PERIOD!!! God bless you, Rory!!!
That is without doubt one the finest examples of Rory Gallagher I have ever witnessed ..OMG!! ..the spine is tingling my eyes are wide open and my mouth is fly catching ...just superb ..thanks for posting
The concerts Rory gave with this incarnation of the band were truly epic while being intimate and in your face at the same time. Thank God for Youtube--us veterans can fondly remember, and the young 'uns can discover.
Rory made a huge impression on everybody he played in front of. And I know he certainly did, here in the very competitive climate of Southern California. Notice his shirt in this video? It was given to him from somebody at the University of California at Santa Barbara. What a cool dude!
We will always love you Rory. R.I.P. You took California by storm.
Heard the studio version for the first time over ten years ago, it took me by storm and ten years later this astonishing live performance does the same...
i wish we could stop manufacturing crap like 'busted' or 'mc fly' or whoever you call them,-you know those types of "bands"(i say this very loosely). they simply don't make music like this anymore.:(
Absolutely world class, Rory of course but also the others, they all were great in this concert. I wish I was there. I saw them two years later, also amazing!
As usual the man was "cooking". Never gave less than 200%. FFS how comes that Donal has not yet released this gig on DVD. I don't care if it is in black and white!RIP Mon Ami
Outstanding, unbelievable, the man had more music in his left eyeball than Clapton ever even considered was possible. He is a legend and we miss him dearly.....
This song is simply amazing. totally vintage sound and its so unique which is important. I never had heard of him till some guy turned me onto him he has a totally EXPLOSIVE sound. thats the best way i can describe this.
Thanks for putting this up again. I believe this IS the best Coals ever. He was on top form for this show. Feel a bit sorry for Lou though - never gets a look in, even on his solo! Think the cameraman forgot he was there. Cheers again, great stuff from The Man.
Probably one of the best versions of walk on hot coals. This whole madrid show is awesome, but I thnk it is impossible to get it without the humming noise. I am really hoping for a DVD relaese with better sound and maybe in colour!

This is wonderful, especially for those of us who never saw Rory live.
Yikes. I would sell my soul to go back in time and observe Rory in this sort of live venue.
RIP Rory.
