  • Absolutely awesome.

  • hows this for slow blues. this man will take your fast & play it slow & your sloe & kick your ass

  • :)))

  • Comment removed

  • whose the guy behind the curtain?

    reminds me of someone I know...

  • He was the best because he felt what he played, that´s the only way to play like this

  • For years I thought SRV's main influences were Albert King and Hendrix. Now I see the debt he owes Rory. They don't make em like this anymore....

  • I want some Rory !!!

  • Evil round hum there, you can tell they are in the UK (50Hz). ROFL

  • @ultimateinfinite Erm, it's live in Montreux...

  • @anonymouslolxD my bad. Still 50Hz though.

  • ah. that was fantastic. thanks.

  • my favourite guitarist!

  • I HOPE YOU LIKE IT :P

  • saw him live in new zealand in 1980. Incredible

  • gênio

  • the piano player looks like lemmy ^^

  • @DrumsaremyhobbyxD At very first second I thought it's... Rory xD

  • He did not only feel the blues, he was the blues - like muddy in his earlier days - but rory was the fucking damned best guitar player the world have ever seen. words could not describe the loss, but his music will live forever. R.i.P.

  • 6:58 Epic, undeniably epic

  • Rory was awesome. Such a shame he died so young. He was a good chap.

  • R.I.P. Rory. Great guitar player!

  • Ce n'est pas tant le blues que je recherche chez Rory mais le blues-rock.

  • @breizhaganbrav

    ouais...mais n'est pas mal, non?

    ;)

  • wow, reminds me of Lepplin

  • sounds like " i wonder who "-live ?

  • thats just because their both 12 bar blues in c minor...

  • Yeah! Thank you!

  • any tabs for this song around?

  • he is the best!

  • Thank you casahy for uploading this. Rory is amazing, I love him.

  • which concert is this from?

  • Rory Gallagher - Live At Montreux

    Please buy the DVD :)

  • Best guitarist I never heard of

  • such an under rated guitarist, he wasnt even in rolling stones top 100, but i thought that list was a joke, rory was the greatest in my opinion...

  • dude the rolling stones top 100 is a shit, dont read that shit.

  • yea ino but alot of young new guitarists do, and wont discover rory...

  • miss u rory

  • mtv is shit nowadays what happened to the blues?

  • honestly this shit was never famous, few people know who Rory was. Its a musicians music and always will be. Mostly people who play it love it and those who don't may never know.

  • If you ask someone these days they probably couldn't even tell you who Muddy Waters is! But like you said its a musicians' music and personally I like that aspect of the blues because it is almost your own special thing. It is a shame however that people don't get the same feeling that is the blues anymore because people listen to this modern rock 'music'

  • Bull shit!!...blues is the peoples music, dont try and act like its something only you and your musician friends understand, thats missing the point of the blues entirlely, and actually proving you understand nothing

  • I was not implying that blues was an exclusive thing at all. What I said was that most kids today don't know the original artists who mad blues so popular.

  • I adore it and I can't play shit. Well I'm trying to learn to play harp:)

  • i want that guitar. its got some miles on it.

  • rory is like robert plant and jimmy page rolled into one human being...only much much better :D

    you could watch mtv all day every day for the next 5 years and not see as much talent and passion as he has in this performance alone.

    Sorely missed.

  • Looks like John Cusack alot here.

  • agreed

  • if i could have been aplayer...it would be rory..

  • i sat up all night last night and worked out this note for note... Can't remember half of it now. Even though i had it note for note, i still wasn't playing it with the.... passion? he plays it with.... he just has the best timing and the best everything.

  • fabuleux

    merci  Casahy

  • Sorry to say TAGZ, but Rory is faaaar better than Muddy technically, and improvisationally, and I truly believe jealousy was a strong motivator there. Muddy was an orginal, NO DOUBT, but Rory, as a player and a performer, took many of Muddy's tunes to new and different levels, and played things Muddy could only dream of playing. In the end, I truly believe Muddy came to understand that when someone as special as Rory plays your songs, it's a true reason to smile.

  • agree

    but technical playing is the only thing

    i think that muddy waters a more soulfilled tone than rory

    but i also like rory more than the old bluesmen;)

  • fuefedahoidda: It's all down to who you relate to the most. Most certainly Rory himself idolised the original Bluesmen he learnt from...albeit he was alot nicer in personality than some of them. I met him a couple of times and Rory was a very warm, approachable guy. He reminds me of an Irish Buddy Guy here.

  • that's why Muddy invited Rory to play on his "London Sessions" album in '70's.You can hear some tracks on Krashnif channel,great blues.

    5*

  • Gitply45: Comparing RG to Muddy is like comparing Clapton to Robert Johnson. Muddy was the link to the innovators like Charley Patton. Technique has nothing to do with it...Lightnin' Hopkins,JL Hooker only played in 2 keys BUT it was how they put the song across that made them great...however basic they sounded. Vocally they were stronger and lived the life of an American Bluesman. Rory was fantastic and the nicest guy that ever lived but he knew the TRUE history of Blues.

  • I love this performance. That intro is just marvellous! Can't help but smile jealously everytime he does that 'sawing' across the strings but ringing that one tone only in a sort of vibrating, dissonant way at 00:35. Divine!

  • Top performance ...

  • So underrated... He really didn't get the recognition he deserves... he is truly one of the best, most versatile guitarists.

  • i love this song

    i love rory

    rip

  • Рори Молодец!!!

    Как не прискорбно говорить но настоящие музыканты уходят от нас..а в замен мы не получим ничерта....

  • Supernatural !

  • That'll be why he invited Rory to guest on his London Sessions album.

  • Wow. Right in the face :D

  • Bollocks!!!

  • Rory kicks azz!!!

  • Rory Rory Rory

    you'r the best
