I think just not enough people have heard him. If you listen to enough of his live playing, a range of his songs in different styles, it becomes evident he is one of the great guitar virtuosos.

Rorys confidence as he plays makes his music come right at you and gets your head noddin and heel bouncin

Rory's voice is so good. He did hit the sweet spot.

Damn, he's got the blues

I don't like to compare musicians to one another but I would'nt argue with you. This guy could have been as big as anyone on a worldwide stage........What a talent.

Not only a great player , great blues voice

This man is a beast ! Cant belive i just found out about this guy for the first time today !

Great Rory!!!

Still loved and sadly missed. A genius of the blues genre, a guitar magician and a great man.

One of his greatest recordings ! But.....all of them are great.....

i dont know how may times ive watched this but i will never stop loving it....ever!! we love you rory

Rory Gallagher. One off the greatest.

OH DAMN he is good. goosebumps galore, wow! he relives and improves these old blues. damn good singer too. he has SO much fun doing this. Legend is right! This is as good as it gets.

thats right my friend , LEGEND!!!...there is only one Rory , so soul no anyone else

I could see Rory twice in the 70's in Madrid, Rory is hypnotic, magnetic, ahead of his time, pure magic, Rory always in my heart.

Blue's with balls! Love it!

He was one of the greatest guitar players ever!!!! I would've loved to have seen him live!

Every time im here to learn that guitar,and every time i forgot that i was learn

Oh God,what do I like tis song so much! He was absolutely the best bluesplayer alltime! I still miss him!

1 word... GOOSEBUMPS

He's awesome

Ein Genie! Er lebte nur für seine Musik. RIP RORY

Absolute BEST version! Incredible

This man has skill in huge quantities...Epic...words dont do Rory justice.

If I could meet him I’d just hug the guy

I have this song on my profile, and every few weeks or months i come back to it on this page to see how the number have grown, it was this guy that got me interested in playing guitar when i was a kid, a real genius .....sorely missed.

Ireland's King of the Blues..

Rory is the blues!Magic musician!

Fuckin stunning! From the tune up to the Thank You. What a man.

Cheers, Rory! Would have loved to have seen him and Gary Moore jamming together, two sons of Erin trading licks and putting folks' jaws on the floor. Both of them passed way too soon. Attention Irish blues guitarists: this is how it's done, so now you pick up the cudgel and make your statement. Don't let Irish blues magic die with Gary & Rory.

Rory always embraced his audience. He made them feel like they were part of the show. He would jam, & hang, & talk to his audience like they were at his place. Very laid back, but stay away when Rory rock's that Strat, cause he'll just take you to new heights that you've never been to before. RIP Rory & keep Rockin'. Me, Dave & Still Kickin'

Possibly the greatest of them all.

This man just loved to play. Here is someone doing their thing and loving every minute of it. I think this is (his undoubted prowess aside) maybe what made Rory so much better to watch than most of his contemporaries. I am so glad to have seen him live in his prime. Great stuff!

awe man this guy is my new favorite guitarist

He's brilliant! I think Rory's up there in blues heaven with Stevie, Jimi, and other dearly departed musicians who left us far too soon, just having the time of his life. And I hope we see them all again someday!

***** Hello there Aparecida! Well, my sister and I were planning on going to the "Rory Gallagher Fest" in Ballyshannon, Ireland this year, but cannot make it, so the plan is for next year. That is definitely on my "bucket" list! I will have to have my own festival this summer at my house, in June.... I am going to celebrate Rory's birthday tomorrow, as I am going to wear something plaid to work and listen to him all day!!! Our Irish God will not be forgotten!!! Hugs to you and celebrate tomorrow my friend!! Take care.... :)

A perfect solist. One person who does not need an orchest. One person is enough to make us happy with his music, Thanks for share.

Man, I am so fortunate to have seen this man playing his style of blues He was incredible and He definitely made an impression on me R.I.P.

I saw Rory live in 1989 at a jazz club in Tempe, Az by the name of Chuy"s. He blew the doors off the place. It was the best live show I've ever seen. Rip Rory.

Thats just a masterclass. He had or still has not a equal playing guitar

IRISH BLUES, A SOUND OF ITS OWN, RAW AND INTOXICATING. CANT GET ENOUGH OF THIS GREAT MAN. R.I.P RORY.

I may be a lowdown bass player, but I wanna guitar like Rory's playing! He came to my town, in the Southern Hemisphere, rocked out our old Town Hall in his jeans suit. Can't remember which part of the 70s, probably later in the era, but he rocked it off its foundations. RIP.

One of the greatest guitar players ever.....made me jump and shout...why do the good ones die young? I don't know....RIP Rory Gallagher...god bless you...

Rory was the most awesome player I ever heard

Holy shit! this is the first time I`ve ever heard any of his stuff, jesus he`s making that axe sing in harmony one minute and scream for mercy the next. Rory IS a legend,,, no doubt about it.

what a beautiful soul he was and what a talent

He was a Guitar legend.

Irish people are cool! Rory is a god! Greetings from Croatia :D

im the only teenager i know that digs this kind of music, this is friggin awsome!

RIP....im irish an living in chicago an my dad seen him on the isle of man..im 23 an now im listing to him haha....a true legand

That reso sounds positively wicked in his hands!

I really wanna thank the person that posted this, Rory in top form, bless his soul.

Great to see so much love for this sensitive, courteous, incomparable player. One of a kind. Never gets old.

With respect to Jimi and Eric , Rory was the first guitar hero that actually had a voice. So much that he would have and could have done.

Classic blues student/guitarist straight up. would make Robert Johnson, et al. proud. Great showman as well.

Johnson got poisoned by apparently his ex lover at only 38. Sucks.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how it's done!

Was introduced to Rory in the early 70's through the album Tattoo, I was about 14 and from then to this day he still tells a fine story.

"Make it 100% and i wont feel no pain at all!" Amen brother, amen!!

Purity and greatness are often not linked. Both words describe Rory. He never deviated from the music he loved. Fame was not important. Playing to an appreciative audience was. For that, I am forever grateful. He remains along with Robin Trower, my favorite guitar players.

Saw him live on numerous occasions in Belfast . Real modest guy with immense talent .

i can watch this video over and over again and not get bored of it. ITS SO GOOD!!!!!

A great tune and a great man....RIP Rory..... Can't wait for Roryfest in 2 weeks!!
