Joe Bonamassa - Burning Hell


This is a live performance by American rock and contemporary blues artist Joe Bonamassa playing the song "Burning Hell" live. The performance is from the 2006 Rockpalast festival in Germany. This performance was released on DVD. This was one of the last concerts Bonamassa played with his old three piece line-up band.
The song was originally released on Bonamassa's 2003 album "Blues Deluxe". It's a great slide guitar number by Bonamassa and I really love the groove Bonamassa has going with his band, especially towards the end of the performance. It's a great performance by a great, tight, and awesome three piece band.

Enjoy ; )

Rory Gallagher - Garbage Man


This is a live performance by Irish guitarist, singer songwriter and blues man Rory Gallagher. In this performance he plays the song "Garbage Man" which was originally recorded by Muddy Waters. The song was written by Willie Hammond. The performance is from 1977 and from the Rockpalast festival in Germany.
It's a great performance, but sadly it cuts off in the video and cuts to some other German programme. It's great till that happens though, and we get most of the performance. Lou Martin does a really good piano solo and Rory then goes off on slide in standard which he is amazing at. It's a great performance.
To my knowledge the only official of this release by Gallagher is on the album "Ultra Rare Rory" which I own. It's a bootleg album, so the quality isn't the best, the performances however are top notch. Cover in picture below.
It's a great performance, and Rory truly proves that he was indeed a blues man in this performance clip.

Enjoy ; )

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 ; )
