Gary Moore is my number one guitarist, but Rory is my second best, they are very close. By the way both "Hands Up" and "Hands Off" would be great songs by Rory to react to.

Thanks for commentating on good old Rory once again. Loved the guy from the beginning in the seventies.

He started in 60s, even before Taste came out 1966. I do believe his best came in the 70s when he added Lou Martin on keys.

That man could rock and he had an excellent band behind him.

Rory was/is something special. He is a treasure for sure.

Thanks for another great Rory reaction, Rory Gallagher channeling... Rory Gallagher!

Great artist! I got to see him when he came to Australia in 1980. I already had a few albums he did with Taste and on his own. I also got to see him a few years later when I was doing my traveling around Europe. About time you guys do *Cold Chisel - One Long Day nzoz1978* I'm being specific, so please be sure it's the nzoz1978 upload.

You need to watch the entire Rock Goes to College performance-its amazing from start to finish. And, while Rory looked larger than life on stage, he was actually only around 5'-9" and slim until ill health began to plague him in the late 1980's. Please check out more of Rory's catalog. His music is incredibly diverse and you should check out the 1984 Belfast performance of "I Wonder Who" for a great blues piece.

I still say best live album by anyone. Rory's best, Irish Tour 74. Also available online in video. Same title.

Bad Penny from (I believe) Montreux 85 is fantastic. Rory was a rarity. Humble in person and a beast on stage. He NEVER sold out because he didn't want to be a Arena Rocker although he easily could have. Check out what Brian May Slash Alex Leifson Paul Rogers to name a few said about him. I saw him with Zappa and then Nazareth in 84 and 85 in Germany at an open air concert. He's still my favorite by far.

One of the best blues rock bands ever. Try Shadow Play, the live at Montreux version. Or, Hands Off

Compulsory listening…all of his live performances are. That reminds me, I must start a ‘reaction to reaction videos’ channel, I think it would be a big hit😊

I Wonder Who - Rory Gallagher Live In Belfast is also well worth viewing.

This is one of those clips where the picture ratio isn't right and everything's stretched a bit, horizontally. Hence Rory looks bigger than he actually was, too (At least at that time).

Great performance! 🤩👍 They say it's very likely that his Stratocaster guitar was the very first one to show up in Ireland, or at least one of the very first ones. Rory had succeeded in getting his parents to buy it for him when he was only 15, in 1963, promising them to pay them back their money through gigging, which he did, too 😊 The guitar had lost most of its finish over the years due to Rory constantly playing shows and him having quite aggressive sweat. Fender actually make a Rory Tribute Strat that looks exactly like his, including all that wear 😀

Check out "Irish Tour '74", the album and the movie. Rory Gallagher was one of few acts to play shows in Northern Ireland during the 70s and 80s. The Rock Goes to College set is worth watching in its entirety, and so is the set from a BBC show called the Old Grey Whistle Test.

Rory was called the worlds best guitarist by Jimi Hendrix!

@@robertrohde4579 Hendrix said that about other guitarists also. The true fact is, there is no such thing as the best guitarist. There is a list of top players, and Rory is on it. As is another great guitarist people here have apparently never heard of, Roy Buchanan

The Rock Goes to College broadcast was good but the 1976 OGWT session is something else IMHO. BTW you should pronounce Gallagher with the second “g” silent, Galla - her
