He would fill stadiums today if he was still around. So sad he isn't. So many guitarists would love to have half his talent.

I will be 73 this year love Rory saw him back in 1973!

16 years ago i was watching this video on youtube as a student.Still here!I will be watching the video till the day i die.Rory RIP.GREECE loves you!!!

There is a big difference between fame and talent and I finally understand this by watching Rory now.

Gerry McAvoy (bass guy) shows what really means to feel the music. A real musician.

Indeed, McAvoy means business. Would have made it any band.

I wish I could erase Rory from my memory, just to have the chance to discover his music again. It was a freezing snowy morning when I first listened to Moonchild on the radio. I had skipped my Calculus class and I was having a coffee. The owner of the coffee shop told me the name. "Oh, him? He is Rory..." I went straight to a music shop and bought "Stagestruck" because it had Moonchild on it. I'll never forget tht day in my life.

I was pissed back then due to the movement to Holland but than it came on to me .the city was Geleen south of the Netherlands pk..until 86 from 69 they ve had this festival called PINKPOP look it up it still exists and even more. Due to the fact that the fest gotten bigger and bigger they moved on down south about 40kl. From my place. Fact is that Pinkpop, of which I had the chance being a part of especially thruout the 70ees.lol. man it was magic in 74 .I was just turned 13 and got a ticket from my other My first year.you can guess I believe still know the better acts One was Rory Gallagher .the place of happening was a normal bikers round up in the cities park.so stage still quite improvised ok.theres a picture on you tube with Rory playing beneath a sheed of linnen with the words Pinkpop 74 Other major acts were cpt.beefheart steelers wheel and others I will never forget in those 70ees years seen all or a lot of the old bands .manfred mann with his nightingales and bombers he Spirit in the night . Thin lizzy van halen you name top bands back than 👌 Love and light from Holland.oh yes I believe telling that Pinkpop was taken up in the 2000ers years in the guineas book of records the only festival ever kept returning ever-increasing 69

You always here about Guitar Players that do not get enough recognition, underrated when compared to the big names spoken often. If there ever was an underrated not spoken of enough guitar player it is this cat Rory Gallagher. He is as good as any player I have ever listen to. Rory can only be equaled not exceeded....he is that damn good! It does not hurt that he has one bad ass bass player in Gerry McAvoy laying it down!

Randico Enrico Gonzalez Jr. .....nah, some of us have *always* known and loved Rory and “fame” is precisely what he steered clear of. Rory did however, tour Europe constantly and had sold in excess of 30 million albums *before* he passed away and *before* newer and renewed interest. It was the States Rory had hoped to crack but he only enjoyed a “cult” following there despite repeated tours. It’s only in recent years that his popularity has increased there but he refused to “sell out” saying he could “write a hit song but did not WANT to”, Rory was the real deal. As for the camera, yes, Rory was the obvious star, you’ll notice his fellow band members stand back, that’s why - it was Rory’s time to shine.

Montreux Jazz Festival July 5, 1985. One of the best performances I've ever heard. Moonchild is an amazing song, and Rory Gallagher sure knows how to play the guitar. But let's not forget Gerry McAvoy. His bass playing is quite deceptive, sounds simple, but it isn't. He played with Rory for twenty years, and on this recording every note he plays is exactly what should be played. Not too much, not too little. Supertight backing for Rory with Brendan O'Neill on drums.

I saw Rory, twice back in the 70's and both times, he wore his Levi (denim jacket) and removed it later, after it was all wet n' sweaty, both times he played for at least 2-1/2 hours, giving the best show possible, he was awesome...!

Probably the bset live version of what I believe is Rory's best song. His second solo is worth all the gold and diamonds in the world, it's so fluid, fast, and full of emotion. Reminds me of some of Blackmore's epic live solos. And let's not forget gerry McAvoy's pulsing bass lines - meaty and melodic, the perfect foil for Rory's brilliance. An incredible performance.

My God!- Such a beautiful song. Nobody writes such deep melancholic songs for rock-guitar!

Rory Gallagher, possibly the best guitarist ever to grace this planet...If you know, you know!

Had the privilege of seeing Rory in Glasgow in the 70's! Much missed guitar genius.

This is the man who got me into playing the guitar

Had the pleasure of being pretty much front row when this exact line-up, instruments, amps etc did a show at Auckland Town Hall - roundabouts 1979... was everything to behold. Just like the video - but more personal :) Thanks for the Journey Rory.

I was 13 when I first time I heard his music and now 40 yrs later this still gives me goose bumps head to toe. Thanks Rory for a beautiful legacy. rip.

This is the best version, I play this whole my life.

Rory`s "Moonchild" is one of my all time favourites to listen to, & I used to love playing this with my band years ago, R.I.P

What an absolute pleasure it must have been to be in a band with this man,I tear up every time I realize those days are over.He is missed every day :( What a legend!

One of the best opening riffs in music.................Love blasting this riff out on my old strat....

My favourite live version of Moonchild on yt.

I am playing guitar for more then 30 years...every time i think about playing straight from heart ,Rory is the first guy i remember...

this is so heavy! that guy just took the best stuff from blues, rock and heavy metal and built a house of awesomeness!

Having done two posters for two different shows in 73 in Calgary , both times he was the warm act and both times he was the better act , may God bless his soul

One of the greatest riffs in Rock history and a blast to play.

Rory's guitar sound was just killer!!!!

he is just so good my goodness.

Excellent guitarist and song! RIP Rory!

rory is really one of the greatest and must underrated guitar player ever... Great song!

I watch this and wonder why I bother to pick up a guitar , it´s all been done by this man , saw him in ´73 , amazing performer , he is missed .

I was lucky enough to see Rory several times in the late 70s and 1980s, legendary performer, he loved to play live and always gave 100%

I was born in 76, grew up with NDW and ABBA, then came to Iron Maiden, Metalica and Priest, and it took me 20 years to recognize what Rory was all about! I love Rory and his music! Lower Saxony

the bass player knows how to rock with his awesome face and body language - a true rock god

I really miss this guy, but he will always be remembered!

damn these guys played so hard and true, glad I saw them twice, RIP in Rory, your fire is missed

Rory's best song ever ! A pity, I have never seen him live, but his spirit lives on.
