Looking at this clip you can see why Rory was one of the only traditional rockers who got respect from the punks. Genuine, honest energy delivered full throttle for the fans.

I went to a ZZ Top show in KC in '76. Rory opened. I admit I didn't know who he was when I walked in, but I sure as hell did when he was done. ZZ Top might as well have stayed home.

@GeoStratocaster I's totally with you--saw RG several times and to this day no one has come close to the almost religious high that swept the crowd; you were high for days after a Rory gig!!! He gave and gave and was always 200% REAL and HONEST and dedicated to the music, the guitar and his fans. Can you imagine ANYone who could sell 30 million records without ever having a single on the radio? That's because he was honest to God a genuine legend in his own time! And the legend will grow!

Just got to say....
Some of you guys will not have been as lucky as myself, in that you never got to to witness the raw power of Rory. As great as these videos are, they don't even come close to the real thing. Many people are just discovering Rory for the first time, folks who never saw him live, and that is good as it they will learn how to 'really' play guitar, and keep his memory alive. He is worthy of that acolade more than any musician I know. Simply the best there ever was.

Y'know, I am so f*cking glad I was born when I was ! :) Being a teenager in the 60s meant I never missed a Rory gig ever! At least his Scottish gigs! Now wonder I told everyone when he passed away that I would "miss my fix"! He was a great re-charger of human resources. Such energy, that transmitted to all when he played. Best box-player ever man! Believe it!
RIP Rory.

Yeah, we often talk about how underrated or unappreciated Rory is, but Gerry isn't given enough credit either

He's not given enough credit alright, it's disappointing. Do you have any videos of when you were in the support band? You must have been immensely proud alright, sounds fantastic.
