One of the ALL TIME greatest guitarists EVER!!! Went to see Deep Purple when they were doing the Machine Head tour and Rory opened. He was so good that after Deep Purple did their final encore, the crowd, myself included, were screaming for Rory to come back out. Sure enough, he did, and they blew the roof off of the place!! Almost 50 years later I've never forgotten it!!!

Your favorite Rory Gallagher song is always the last one you just heard!!! Ha!Ha!

I love people that love Rory !

Who turns down an offer to join the Rolling Stones? Rory had the best band and the best guitar. No one compares to Rory Gallagher. Love that '61 Strat. RIP Rory. You set the bar.

He was also considered to replace Blackmore in deep purple, and was considered to replace Clapton in cream before they decided to break up

Could you imagine Rory taking orders from Jagger and Richards, thank God he did his Japan tour. So many people wanted him, he stayed in the right place doing his own music.

Another guitarist who like Rory turned down an offer from the Stones was Roy Buchanan they were to good to be handcuffed to any band

There will never be anybody like him, he was and still is the greatest blues guitarist that ever graced our planet. ❤❤❤

One reason this film & LP are legendary is that Rory came to play in Belfast, Northern Ireland, at the height of “the Troubles” when violence was at its worst. The city was basically under lockdown at night, and no buses after 8pm. Every other major act of the time were afraid to play there, and either canceled shows or just didn’t book any. Rory, however, had been a regular for his entire career and was insistent on playing Belfast, knowing that the fans desperately needed the lift. The context of the times, plus his amazing performances, made this probably his finest hour. Listen to the entire “Irish Tour 74” LP - it’s a blast from start to finish!

Miss his music, this brings back memories RIP master

Live In Europe great Album! We’re but a tiny island, but boy do we produce some musical talent! 🇮🇪 👍☘️

Rory had a couple of different configurations of his group. The bassist was with him for 20 yrs. This particular configuration played on these tours for Irish kids in auditoriums which he loved. He was their star, their hero and he made sure that everybody could afford to attend these concerts in his homeland. It was never about the money for Rory, it was about the purity of playing the blues and whenever he could perform for those in Ireland that adored him, he made sure to put on a show.

This, sadly, is just the end of the song. You need to get hold of the original album or CD. My old friend Rory was the kindest nicest politest man ever. I saw him 38 times, played his guitar and miss him every day. 🎸🎸😢😢

Thank you for more Rory. This performance of Walk on Hot Coals shows why Rory was the best of the best. Period. Unfortunately in order to hear the entire song you need to listen to the audio from the album "Irish Tour '74". This is from the Irish Tour '74 movie by Tony Palmer. He begins the movie with it and literally comes in half way through the song during an amazing solo, so you really are missing a spectacular performance. There are words to this song. Please, please, please react or just listen to the full song on your own, it really is a must. Otherwise, If you want to see a complete live version then I recommend Walk On Hot Coals from the Madrid show - it's amazing. Thanks again, and keep on...

They also seem to have done a cut about halfway through the solo at the point where they switch to him in in the car. They've then spliced in another solo part from a different performance. It's a mess.

This seems to be most of the second half of the album version with the end of another performance bolted onto it.

Walk on hot coals (Old Grey Whistle Test)

I've raved about Rory on here many times. So i'll just settle for saying I'm so glad you found him and that you're enjoying the journey. Nice one Pope!

Rod DeAth was the drummer and he really played well on Walk on Hot Coals. I saw Rory many times and he always gave it his all. Fantastic guitarist he never courted the limelight, he just wanted to play. If Rory embraced the commercial side of the business he’d have sold hundreds of millions of records. The fact that he has sold 32 million without any marketing or commercial input speaks for itself. He was the greatest.

They were trying to turn him into the next big thing, but he wouldn't really play the game. So in some senses he's the forgotten guitar god. But there are endless big names lining up to praise him.

FINALLY! Somebody doing a reaction to RORY F'n GALLAGHER!!!! 😁🤟🏽🎸🎶🎸🤟🏽😁

Rory Gallagher always seems to be a forgotten blues guitarist and I have no idea why - he was awesome! Glad to see the younger generation appreciating his talent.

Great reaction ❤

That's glorious! As you said, Rory put his heart and soul into the guitar. We're lucky to be able to see that on film. I enjoyed the reaction.

Rory probably lost 10 pounds of water weight every live show from sweating....what a showman!

Thank you so much! Rory was such a force of nature on stage and there is literally no one who could match his passion channeled through his instruments.

The Irish Wizard in full gear, he played through his heart and soul. My mentor of the Fender Strat.

Rory Gallagher is for me the greatest guitarist ever no one like

First concert I ever attended, Rory Gallagher first, then Robin Trower, then Jethro Tull, Shea Stadium in NY, Summer 1976. I didn't know who he was at the time but loved his music ever since....RIP Rory, one of the greatest of all time.

This was the first Rory Gallagher song I ever heard and I said to myself "who is this guy and how is it possible I had never heard of him!" I have be a Rory disciple ever since.

Same here. Some songs strike a chord (no pun) with you forever.This is one of them.

Not many with the musical IQ to be reacting to Rory G, big up to ya!

Cosmic!

I love how his guitar player face is a smile. When he really digs in he just smiles.

Oh shit Rory I can't believe there is a reaction video for him. I've not met but one person who knows who this guy is. I love this guy check more of his stuff out. lol

DEEP TRACKS. You are killing it Rock Warrior.

Thank you Pope!

So cool to have youngsters taking the opportunity to listen to some music that might not necessarily be on the radar. 🎶🤘👊

I recommend Bullfrog Blues! They all do some jamming! Saw Rory years ago in Detroit. One of best concerts ever!

Wow massive.

Great choice....Bloody footage comes in after the singing part though. Still, Peak Rory. He was relentless....an unstoppable force in the mid-70's. Had a great band.....and was touring his best album Blueprint here, IMO. Do the studio version of his last hit song Loanshark Blues.....he was still firing! Such a shame those prescribed Meds, for his non-life-threatening illness, took him out.

I've seen him one of the greats

That’s just the second half of the song ~ the words are in the first half. Love the way you’re enjoying it

Rory g, revived the blues. Eric Clapton credits rorys music for getting him back into it.

Rory forever!

Gotta listen to the full version. The lyrics are brilliant...I love to kick this one around when I play, just for fun. Saw Rory many times over 20 years or so - a force to be reckoned with live.

Alan White the great drummer of YES the greatest Prog Rock band in History has died....R.I.P. You may want to react to some of his drumming work of art

You've stumbled on to the Best... If I may : "Hell Cat" live "Tattoo'd Lady" live off of Notes From San Francisco "I Wonder Who" live at My Father's Place... Thanks A Million

For your next Rory reaction video, would you please consider 'Do you read me' rock goes to college 1979. This may be his most incredible performance ever - Thanx

I used to ski in the mountains and listen to Rory , before I got on the lifts. It helped me get the adrenaline to ski better than I would otherwise.

He had a few different drummers, all great

good taste my man.

Another awesome reaction video.

I like your reaction to Rorys music, you even pronounced his name correctly

I love how Rory encourages the lads in the band , it's brilliant !!

the best guitarplayer in the world according to Jimi Hendrx. :)

Listen from the start

His early band was called Taste

Check out "what going on" by Taste live at the isle of wight. Rory's first band. It is here on youtube.

one of the Best RORY GALLAGHER !!!!!!!Saw him open for Rush in Toledo Ohio RIP Brother my Irish Legend

This was really what Rory loved, playing before his young countrymen in Northern Ireland and setting it up so any of these kids could afford to see him every now and then. He loved these poor Irish kids to death and they thought he was the reason that they could feel proud of one of their own. He lived during his heyday in Cork Ireland and traveled to Europe to play for fans there. He was afraid of flying so he never came to America of if he did it was rare. Mostly he just played the great concerts in Europe during the age of Rock and Roll and he reveled in showing people how real raw blues should be played. Like his countryman, Gary Moore, his heart was always in Ireland doing what God put him on this earth to do. I discovered his music when I was in college in the early 70's and went on to own 3 record stores, so I would play his music in the shop and people would wander over and want to know who the heck was playing that guitar. I still listen to his stuff today and of courst I am old. Rory died in his 50's, I think in London. You might get the Bullfrog Blues done at the Old Whistlestop venue I think in Germany. Nobody quite like him.

Here is something rare. Rory's first group was called Taste. He played at the Isle of Weight concert back in the early 70's with all the biggest Rock Bands in the world back then. That album is so rare and unique in it's content that people thought there was gonna be another Eric Clapton and Cream, but Rory decided to change totally and become a blued purest and mostly play in Ireland a lot and in England and the European continent. He was straight blues, not for the money, not for the fame, but just knowing his special talent was what God put him on earth for. He was surely one of the best guitarist of all time and died in his 50's in London. Check out some of his Montreux Jazz Festivals performances. They are recorded. I know I had some video's of these rare concerts in Europe. Rory was a bad ass guitar player and loved doing it.

Man i love your reaction. Love from

All that with just a 1960 something fender, a VOX ac30 amp and a treble booster. Dunno magician.

Another great video of the GOAT. Suggestion: Can you please fix your audio, we can barely hear you speak, maybe move microphone closer or something - thanks

Sugar Mamma Isle Of Wight 1970 Tore Down The Savoy Limerick 1972 ❤❤👏👏👏

My bad the song was Hot Stones by Savroy Brown

WTH man!!! That was just the end of the song !

Suggest Bull Frog Blues it’s FIRE LIVE….

Check out john mclaughlin and the mahavishnu orchestra talk about a fusion of styles. Robert Fripp from King Crimson is another. 21st Century Schitzoid man lol

This version appears to be cobbled together from several different performances as it varies greatly from the album cut towards the end. also the beginning of the song is missing.

The one thing about this movie version is it starts from middle of song. Better version is Walk on Hot Coals/Live in Spain it's black n white but its entire song

POPE...if you haven't already, please check out "Gary Moore" on guitar, right up there with Mr. Gallagher...peace

I heard this before but by Savory Brown try there version they are good as well, Ken Simmons as the lead you will like it

Turned down the Stoners after Taylor walked. Good decision. The rock n roll traitors weren't his thing.
