@zacharybroyles Rory's Strat was stolen early in his career, and it turned up in someone's back yard garden. It sat out in the weather that way for a few weeks. The moisture helped pop the finish off the Strat. But YES, play a Strat hard and often, like Rory did, and it's going to bear the battle scars.
@TheTruthRocks if you read his website it also says that he had a really rare blood type which made his sweat really acidic which also stripped the finish of it
@gslermen I think Rory bought his Strat one in Crowley's Cork in 1963. He had the same guitar until he died. Of course he played many different guitars throughout his career but the Sunburst Fender Strat was always his favourite.
@gslermen Rory got that strat new and his sweat was very acidic (according to fender) and ate through the finish. Stevie's Number 1 was used and had already been well broken and played before he started playing it, even though throughout his career he gave it that character and look that we all know now.
At any rate those old strats had a nitro finish that would wear out, unlike more modern poly finishes.
Every activity or talent can have only one who is the best; ever. In the case of who was, is & will be the greatest guitarist ever, it is Rory Gallagher. Simple as that.
wow, 1973, that was about the time I came across rory. His guitar plaing by this time was more polished and I only discover the taste stuff years later. His licks were still maturing in the taste days, by 73 he was the master, and he kept getting better. His range, versatility and devotion to his fans and the music are unequaled. This is a great vid, Rory young, brash and in his prime.

Forgot how much I loved this man. First heard him in Taste (there's hold old I am).
Saw him live dozens of times when I was a youngster. He was a prolific performer. Don't know if there was a time when he wasn't playing some where in the world......
This is how you play live on TV - keys, guitar, drums and bass in a 2X4 room with amps and NO LIP SYNC! Rory was truly an amazing musician. He didn't even live to be as old as I am. I remember when album rock radio played him regularly; those were the days. I have the DVD this was taken from. Full of tremendous performers and performances too numerous to mention.
don't know who's better rory or srv, they were so different...but more important is what they left for music and it's awesome! let's forget bout who's better and who's not and enjoy rory's music
Guys. Sadly Rory is dead. So ... he WAS a legend. Awesome player. Not really comparable to SRV cos they so different .. can we agree that they were both the dogs bollocks !!???
SRV and others are very good, they plays rock and blues to impress and for success, Rory lives and is the Blues an he plays to express and for himself. This makes the difference between a lot of famous guitar players and the best of all. R.i.P.
We covered this song in my band and i think rory was a very talented person, and one hell of guitar player. I read pepole comparing guitar players to one another which is intersting to me, because i belive that all great guitar players have there own unique sounds which make them diffrent from one another. RIP
I just wanted to remind all of you out there, that everyone that really wants to, can become as great as Rory was. No matter who you are, it only takes endless practise!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Rory was a child of the Seventies - the wave of talent was overwhelming - in the wake of the 60s the Kids who learned from the Beatles, The Who, Small Faces, The Stones etc etc just took the previous guys work apart and put it back together better!! Rory was never going to live to be "OLD"!!
@Clacatoo This Rhythm - is a 4/4 bounce adapted to blue/rock - it has been in use since the first caveman discovered you could make a nice noise banging a stick on a hollow log!
ive lived in dublin almost all my life.the first time i herd this track i was 6 r 7 i can recall it was out our back yard on vynil. thanx big bro.citizin of nyc.
Caught him in San Antonio in 74 -Wow- he Tore and Blew the place Away- Good thing some their were expecting it. His Strat ,Hair, No frills Light Show, and Denim Jacket.
@bevhatle I wouldnt say that. Theyre both blues players and both have their own style. Though i love rory hella lot i think stevie put more soul into his playing just listen to rivera paradise or texas flood. but thats just my opinion. I dont mean any disrespect to rory at all..
@danieljaypark, buddy, it doesn't matter how fast your fingers or how big your strings are. You can't judge passion and no one had more than Rory Gallagher.
i was looking on the fender site and there's a Rory Gallagher custom guitar on there for $1400! it's basically just a battered strat with some custom pick ups, they can keep it.
Beautiful version of this song, especially because Rory is working in, literally, an enclosed space. But he still manages to set fire to it. Wish there were more versions of this song, live. It's a keeper.
It's not even battered it's because he got it stolen once and when he found it, it was in a puddle of water. I've also heard stories that the acid properties of his blood type had to do with it. I know I'm a music nerd. :)
yeah, i found that on his website. it said his blood was a bit more acidic than most, so whenever he sweat (and he sweat buckets), the acid in the sweat would break down the finish.
No ego is right...look at him egging Lou Martin on as if to say "Go for it!"...And the thing I noticed was, look at his strat...he's plain old played the paint off of the thing.
If there's a Rock'n'Roll Heaven, I'll head off to the side stage where you and Phil Lynott are having a pint of Guinness and welcoming us all home with "Guess who just got..." lol, Cheers all.
I remember watching the OGWT when this was on. First saw him on tour 73 and Reading 74 and many times over the years.
Always fantastic despite illhealth in later years. A legend and a true gent. He supplied free Guinness at a St.Paddys concert at the Greyhound and would always talk to the punters after the concert.
Rory was plain and simple..a genius. From Taste to the end, he never failed to give everything he had in concert and albums. Nothing fancy, just kick ass blues and rock n roll. What a shame he's gone.
You should all check out his - daughter elenor mcevoy- beautiful lady , great songwriter and well just check her songs out. From memory the keyboard is a farfisa as played by ian mclagan originally.
I think you guys have misunderstood, someone said 'this man makes everyone else look like shite' and in response kenniemurphy put 'worese than shite' as in rory makes everyone else look worse than shite, as in roto is great. Just check his profile dudes, kennie is irish, he would never disrespect rory.
This version sounds very tame for Rory. Listen to him at Reading 1976, he takes right down with Gerry and Lou tiptoeing it along and then launches it into a Irish jig and blues finish.
It's funny how the simplicity makes it so hard to replicate. sure someone can play this, easy... but sing and play, with this groovy of a sound ? nope.
