Rory Gallagher - Last of the Independants

This is a live performance by Rory Gallagher from the 1979 Rockpalast festival. He plays the song "Last of the Independants". I don't know much about the song other than the fact that it is also the title of a posthumous released album.
I love the performance though. Very nice playing from Gallagher on what seems to be a unique folkish blues rhythm, kind of, very unique and very Gallagher.
I really love the showmanship. He runs around and gets up close with the audience and also uses the guitar like a shotgun and takes aim, very cool indeed. I also really love it at the end where he starts playing slide guitar. It sounds so good, and Gallagher is so good with the slide, it's quite astonishing. He also taps the fretboard as he's using the slide. Very impressive.

Enjoy ; )

Rory Gallagher - Too Much Alcohol

This is a live performance by blues and rock legend Rory Gallagher performing his classic slide blues composition "Too Much Alcohol". It's a song done in open E with a slide.
The performance is from and Irish TV-show called "Me & My Music" which was broadcast in 1977. It's great to see Gallagher on his own just performing and accompanying himself, it's a tough thing to do, and only true blues men master that ability. Gallagher's great, love how he really works the crowd and gets them pumped. Just a great performance.

Enjoy ; )
