Rory Gallagher, Walk On Hot Coals, Live On The Whistle Test

he's god to my generation. well, to the ones who can define "Music" from "Noise" atleast.

i love how he can play lead rythm harmonica and sing, for the most part (allthough mark feldham came in later on the harp) and most bands today need 2 guitarists, one for each, having it sound way thinner. if there is a guitar that deserves to be in a museum, your looking at it.

So glad that people are appreciating Rory. So sad that he never got the kind of recognition he deserved, while he was alive. On the other hand, he was very deliberate in deciding how his music would be marketed. If the Web had existed when he was in his prime, he would have been God. This is true.

i never new found him here unbelievable

I keep on reading different 100 greatest guitarists - and it's an absolute TRAVESTY that this man's name isn't on them - he's got to be top one, then to my mind, Franz Zappa and Stevie Ray Vaughan

that was some band too.

The peoples guitar hero.
Played in Belfast every Christmas during the 1970s when gunfire and bombing went on outside.

I agree with you totally.I'm 41 and a big rock-n-roll fan! I just heard of him three days ago and I have been listening non-stop!

I stumbled on here by accident. I have never heard this man and his music before and I am blown away. This makes me want to kill every American radio programer who denied me this genius all my life until my 30s. I was robbed. This is not a put on.

The master at his best !

All the greatest guitar slingers favored Fenders, and this is one of them!

WOW, would loved to have seen him. Haha im unfortunate not to born 2 decades before i was, He is the best guitarist in the world in my opinion and he is forever immortalised with all the footage of him and the festival in ballyshannon every year!

Someday he'll be recognised for the genius that he was. LOL perhaps change st paddys day to rorys day!

RIP Rory

Underrate as hell and the absolute BEST! EVER!


xoxox RIP RORY xoxox

The most underrated guitar player of all time. RIP Rory.

Great footage. Never tire of watching it. Guitar and voice, honest and true.
Saw him three times live, one in The Everyman Palace in our hometown, Cork. His ol' stomping ground! Power went out, he mandolined on! Not a sound from the audience, crystal clear for us all to hear. Special times.

Is there a source for his whole OGWT set?
Now my kids are discovering him!
