I'd likt to to try and learn it. I like your videos, by the way-Great Job- you have a GREAT influence, in Rory- Peace--

[padraig314]

@luapsel58 It's called "Lonesome Highway (Refraining Instrumental)", it's the last song on the "Wheels within' Wheels" album

[quaifong]

@luapsel58 love all the tunes, his acoustic portions were never the boring part!, saw him twice at Cleveland Agora, and 1 time in a little bar in DC. Always has been on my top 5 guitarists all time (someone's always left out no matter how hard you try). So anyway it will be my daughter Rory's 23rd Bday coming up so...... ya I'm a fan!

[funman18]

More people should watch this video. Top notch.

[francktel87]

The acoustic stuff of Rory, still impress me a lot !

As a crow flies !!!

[mitchqmitch]

The closest I've seen to Rory or Roy Buchanan is a guy named Walter Trout,

[ihop54]

Millions of people haven't seen this video, chances are those millions haven't heard of Rory, if your reading this, I small hole in your soul was just filled with the only piece of the puzzle that would fit, the sounds of Rory Gallagher. Some how you go away feeling just a lttle bit more complete. Thanks for the video, Thank you Rory for 35 years of music in my life. Happy Birthday, see yah soon

Warren Haynes isn't even the best guitarist  when he plays for the Allman Bros.

[evelskunny]

i dont know what qualifies warren haynes as a guitar god ?

[4rainbowed]

@evelskunny He's one of the best-kept secrets of Rock, outside of Rory, since most Americans didn't get to see as much as in Europe once his fear of flying took hold. Check out Gov't Mule (Warren's band) playing "Beaurifully Broken", and "Thorazine Shuffle".

That being said, the closest thing to Rory would probably be Clapton, or Derek Trucks... something in there. But there'll never be anybody who can touch Rory.

[a8anasios666]

62 in a month or so

[MrLocostSeven]

61 is coming rory, serve dimebag darrell something hard up there in heaven. RIP

[masonking12000]

Rory was a good friend and I got to see him play many times! I miss him a lot still! No one could ever be as exciting as he was. But Warren Haynes comes close! Check out some of his stuff!

[padraig314]

I like Warren Haynes a lot too alright but Rory will always be my number one

[joeat963]

Pad, I don`t know which day your birthday comes on, but happy birthday to ya just the same!

[Guaille49]

Thanks for posting. Rory was great acustic, heard Hendricks on a bbc show, playing acustic blues. Sure looking forward to meeting them on the other side :)

[idlewildsouthstudios]

Wow..I would love to hear all of the songs..What an incredible video! Nice job..Thank you..you do Rory proud..:)

[shredmunga]

this is the type of collection that i would like to see on an official release one day - thanks very much for this fantastic posting

[6557andrewg]

I saw him live 30 years ago. "Out on the western plain" was one of the highlights for me.

[padraig314]

Yeah, i never actually got to see him live but all of his acoustic stuff gets me

[curvate]

Auguri Vecio!!!!!

[hejmor1337]

Anyone in here, who can help me with tabs to "Just the smile"? :S Really lost finding it!

Great video by the way!

[joeat963]

314, this is even better today than it even has been to me any other times before!...did that make sence?

[fentreti]

un tres grand artiste!

[PurpleAndZeppelin]

great video padraig314, thanks.

[padraig314]

Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it, i really love his acoustic stuff

[PurpleAndZeppelin]

I admire his Fender's control.

[PurpleAndZeppelin]

Happy birthday, happy 60. for the more big of all.

[DoubleBourbon82]

I could listen to this all day(and night)! #

[notwaiting]

Eric who????

[Romix010]

Great job, seen it and have tears in my eyes. Rory 4 ever!

[naraic21]

great video, Rory was the greatest without a doubt. His range was phenomenal. Not only was he the best live electric player ever, but his acoustic/steel playing was unparalleled. I would suggest if you gave alot of the so called greats of the 60/70's an acoustic or steel in an opening tuning they wouldn't be so smart

[letmein0a]

This is an exellent tribute. And I think compling these many vids needs a lot of work.

I have made Rory's acoustics cassette tape many years ago. I happened to get a bootleg which included the acoustic session at the Frankfult radio station. You've put two tracks from the session in this tribute. With these rich materials I got, I couldn't help making the tape! I still enjoy it.

[padraig314]

The Frankfurt session is something special, the two tracks i used, "Hoodoo Man" and "Gypsy Woman" are some of his finest acoustic works in my opinion. Thanks for watching.

[joeat963]

PAWDRAIG!!! I think this is great, but I have a Q (as always). How come you could do SOOO much, in so little time, and still get away with an extra 59 seconds? The devil is NEVER that nice to me!

The mystery man

[padraig314]

You can upload videos up to 11 minutes despite the fact that it says ten, provided they are within the right file size

[ISB]

What, no Going to my hometown, his mando masterpiece (and the main reason for me to buy this great little instrument)! Ok, there's a backing band there, but he always included it as the finale of his acoustic parts of the gig, and there are also couple of solo mandolin versions of the song (see the one from Irish TV, "Me and my music", 14 february 1977), and I have another one (audio only), on radio 18 march 1980 (similar to the Irish TV acoustic setlist, 6-7 songs). Btw, hello again, padraig!

[ISB]

P.S. ooops... just saw this post of yours --

"i left out loads of his acoustic stuff like the tradtional/folk ones from Wheels Within Wheels, and some of his original compositions like Not Awake Yet, Don't Know Where I'm going, Just the Smile, etc and i even left out Western Plain"

yup... maybe you'll post it on part 2 ;-) ... anyhow, I've seen it all... lemme know if you want that other solo version of GTMHT. Have a good one.

[padraig314]

Yeah i'd love to hear that version, the Dublin 77 one is great but it stops abruptly 3 minutes in. I left it out of this because i wanted this to be more about his delta blues as i feel that is a side of him that is less well known where as the other acoustic ones are relatively common, some of these tracks are incredibly rare.

I also bought a mandolin because of that song, i mostly play traditional stuff on it now though.

[Velubyy]

You did a great compilation with best of his acoustic blues, nice job!!!

[davidr9503]

Nice work!!

[raytheduff]

Brilliant Padraig. A fantastic compilation and a fitting tribute.

[krahsnif]

Well done padraig,thanks a million for a great vid.Krahsnif.

[padraig314]

Thank you for all your uploads Krahsnif, i'm sure you in particular will recognise where some of these came from

[aidjk]

Good stuff Good stuff. I can't believe he would have been 60!!! time flies I guess

[SlumminAngel]

Great tribute Padraig, a nice montage of Rory's wondrful solo acoustic work. Well done!!

[padraig314]

Thank you my friend, and i didn't hit remove instead of reply this time either!

[noisylover]

Great! Nice work, Padraig314! Really a great idea to speak about RG's acoustic work. He was one of the greatest acoustic guitar player I've ever heard, playing ragtime, Delta blues, Piedmont Blues, folk music with so much ability! Thanx!

[padraig314]

Thanks man, and you're right, here i only focused on his delta blues stuff, i left out loads of his acoustic stuff like the tradtional/folk ones from Wheels Within Wheels, and some of his original compositions like Not Awake Yet, Don't Know Where I'm going, Just the Smile, etc and i even left out Western Plain yet there's still so much of his acoustic stuff here, people don't realise how great a solo musician the man was.

Thanks for watching.

[hugoangelm]

Happy Birthday Rory!!

Nice compilation Padraig314, you did the homework and deserves double ration of cake.

This party will never end.

[padraig314]

Thank you Hugo, i just love his acoustic blues.

Keep on rocking

[monteombraro]

Well done, padraig, thank you!

[daviemcf]

Great tribute Padraig!!
