MrLocostSeven imagine upstaging the headliner ohhh shit............ 01/21/2010 - 21:07:45
ktel60 Remember him as being around 5'10", but we were sitting backstage with a beer and might be mistaken 01/20/2010 - 03:20:51
kw21925 True, but the sweating is what damaged the finish. Watch the Irish Tour DVD sometime, and observe how Rory is sweating on stage. You'd think he was running a marathon. 01/09/2010 - 13:05:22
kw21925 I don't know about that, but Taste opened for Cream at Cream's farewell concert at Royal Albert Hall. 01/09/2010 - 13:03:33
ktel60 Rory did like a drink. Metabolism of alcohol causes one to exude phenyl aldehydes in one's sweat. The finish that Fender used employed a phenolic component. QED 01/09/2010 - 07:15:18
ktel60 I'm told that Taste (Rory's original trio) were booked to open for Cream on a UK tour - Taste were dropped some two gigs into the tour for upstaging the headliner. Apocryphal, bu thas the ring of truth. 01/09/2010 - 07:12:23
dra9onf1re his guitar was stolen and it was found in a ditch, full of rain water... not acidic sweat 12/27/2009 - 03:11:14
laticat I think I remember an interview with Rory saying he had really acidic sweat which caused the finish erosion. 12/16/2009 - 22:11:05
4rainbowed Too bad the sound is out of sync. Any ideas why Rory's guitar is so worn at this period of his life? Even put to extra-ordinary use, I can't fathom why a guitar of perhaps 10 years heavy use has lost nearly all the finish and paint. ?? 12/06/2009 - 20:50:57
mrdonjuan100 Truely ,a blues genius,a giant amongst all the rest!!!! 11/21/2009 - 12:16:02
kw21925 The video is 4 or 5 seconds ahead of the audio, but who cares? Jesus, what a great song! Rory was a F----n' treasure. He never really got his due as a guitarist, he was better than Clapton, in my opinion. 11/17/2009 - 01:25:57
GeneralEisenhower i'd be bigger than rory and i'm 16, that would be cool ;) 11/08/2009 - 23:24:22
DigitalShark99 Probably about 5' 10" I met him twice. 10/19/2009 - 13:21:55
tcmguy i always prefered rory's band with piano/keyboard to fill out that sound-i like more heavy rock than endless blues 09/19/2009 - 21:05:27
abcgeber firesmell: i'm not shure but i suppose(from the size of the strat) that he's around 1,80 to 1,85 08/15/2009 - 20:12:35
firesmell what is rory gallagher height 07/28/2009 - 09:15:25
Jimmos4ever2000 Thios video isn't synchronized with the sound 07/21/2009 - 10:13:32
gertyup a genius 07/04/2009 - 18:45:00
samansun Rory draws surrealistic ellipses using a square -minor blues- template. Greatest live player ever. 06/01/2009 - 05:28:06
cryincross gracias por subir este video , rory siempre seras el mejor, 05/18/2009 - 21:03:12
leverk2 CARLOS SPAIN wanderfull blues RORY congratulation 05/16/2009 - 09:05:20
fmcd007 5 weeks to go and i'm going to his hometown..! can't wait! 04/22/2009 - 13:52:02
alexhendrix69 R.I.P rory. pone of the best soloists! 04/19/2009 - 05:42:44
keith080883 ich hätte ihm meine leber gegeben, aber ob das geholfen hätte? 04/09/2009 - 05:07:11
MasseurZatoichi Version off the bbc sessions with Gerry Mc and Rory play in response is better - no footage though just audio. DVD is live In Montreux , there are 4 released concert dvd's I might be wrong but am fairly sure , you can buy em in most good music shops , in Ireland anyway. 04/04/2009 - 18:55:32
