Jack + Rory brilliant, what little hair I've left stood up during the " break ". Who's the drummer ? pretty good.

@TearGasfaeGlesca It is Brendan O'Neill he played in Rory's band for about ten years.

Bloody hell! How good is this.... how I treasure the fact that I saw Rory live many times.

[Mell1888]

Rory never looked where hs fingers were the whole time wow

@Tobytwirl1000 So this was a real jam session. No one neither Jack nor Rory talked about jamming before. When I asked Jack sitting and resting backstage first floor after his p/voc solo show before Rory started to play on same stage if he would mind to come back down to the stage for jamming with Rory he asked me after putting on his ocker jacket if Rory'd know 'Politican' I couldn't affirm that but it was just an usual blues form so they did it after Jack sang him the theme...

ACE!!!

This is GREAT! Really enjoyed this a LOT! Thanks for posting this. I'm a big Jack fan.

oh yeah.

[InScaneMusic]

jack bruce clearly has no respect for Rory Gallagher... yeah Rory was Irish and liked to drink... but jack is a junkie... among other things...

[raysalsa1]

no denying there is alot of talent here, but the really does nothing for me. the playing is real good, but it all feels like a blues band that all sounds alike. I find bands like the who,JH experience,doors,JA,cure, and golden earring far more interesting. i could mention so many others but run out of space. no disrespect to the playing ablility, but not interesting music. please criticize my comment if you like. i wont be the first guy to hit dislike button at least.

Its amazing how you can improvise over just hearing a hum by a guy backstage!!!

[Django5198]

I don't like this song but the jam that starts about halfway through is superb. Rory and Jacks improv skills are top notch!!! 2 of the best british bluesmen

[operace]

First and definitely foremost - thanks for putting this up.

No fantasy - I knew Jack Bruce a bit (serviced his car[s]) and followed Rory like a lovesick teenager all over Britain. I'll never forget the surreal, empty streets of Ireland as I worked over every speed limit in Cork trying to get home and see him on TV. In the end I settled for a pub. It was like church, only a whole lot better. As for Jack - one notch less on the ego and he would have ruled the world, but Winwood did for him.

@mrJimCharles

Yes, that was my point. I was replying to someone who said Rory learned the riff really quick. I don't think Rory did learn it properly!
