Personally, i don't think anyone can or ever will match his intensity. One of my heroes for sure.

When Jimi Hendrix had become the toast of the town. A journalist asked Hendrix: “What’s it was like to be the best rock guitarist in the world?” Jimi then beautifully responded: “I don’t know, you’ll have to ask Rory Gallagher”. Rory could do it all and without doubt one of the greatest live performers in rock music.

This was Dick Calvert,and how true too his word was Jimi.I think Jimi was a great innovator but as far as being the greatest I have to agree Rory was /is the greatest that there ever will be.Nobody can come close to Rory,he was a group all by himself.Thankyou for bringing this to the attention to whoever reads the comments,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,Peace to you @dino1798

Excellent doc, thanks for covering his amp and pedal choices. I saw Rory in Montreal, September 1973 at the Capital theatre. He did 2 shows one at 7, the following at 10. Opening was John Hammond Jr and Freddie King. Needless to say the place was going crazy. Rory should be on everyone's top five list.

I’m a huge Rory fan , so this is a real treat …. Also captures everything one has to know about Rory and his music ..I remember hearing Crest of a Wave as a kid and was blown away by the intensity of his playing also the deep melancholy which you can find in all his songs… so 🙏 ✨ for bringing Rory to your audience … I hope people will dig into this … there’s a little mistake I’ve heard here … Rory underwent a liver transplant in April 95 not 1990 … due to liver damage caused by the intake of pills, paracetamol and drink … sad thing

Ye no one will ever be fit to lace Rory’s boots,,, no doubt the greatest guitarist,,, sadly people that only discover him now are blown away by what this man could put out, a pure genius , acoustic or electric, and as a blues harp player, Rory mastered every instrument he put his hands to, so sad he had to leave us so soon,,, but I know I will never hear the likes of him, a true gentleman also, no bullshit with Rory, god rest him, very missed, ❤️🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪☘️☘️☘️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Great to hear from you buddy - that was awesome that you got to see him live, 13 times nonetheless!!! Rory did it his way - which is so respectable. I'm glad people are still digging on his work today. Thanks so much for stopping by ...always great to see you!

Thankyou for this, I was lucky enough to have a older brother who had a few records of Rory's which influenced my taste of blues & rock. I got to see Rory when he came to New Zealand which certainly was a Blast. I started collecting Rory records also and sadly was lucky enough to inherit my brothers records as well. I ended up being in a garage/pub band and I was able to incorporate a couple of Rory's songs in our list of cover's I sung. Forever in our thoughts is our legend Rory Gallagher ❤
