Floor seating.. Best 3 piece band I had seen to that date. I recollect he played 'Crest of a Wave' off Deuce, and it was great.

I am alway looking for something new to listen. If you are interested, there is a four peice band from Kansas called Levee Town. I got to see them a couple of times at a Blues Festival in Wildwood, NJ. Really good band. All four have good chemistry onstage. Their guitar player is a nice player to watch (Brandon Hudspeth). Their website is Leveetown.com. They have a couple of cd's out and there is a couple of free mp3's to listen to on their music page. Nice site also. I wish this band would get more exposure rather than just their local scene and/or the midwest. I don't think they have a major record deal. They rarely play on the east coast. But I just found out they will be playing The Barbecue/Blues Festival in Wildwood, NJ next summer in 2010. If you check them out, tell me what you think. Thank you I will have to check out his cd’s.

It's good that people are getting into Rory again. Eagle Rock has put out some DVD's of his work. Check out the Rockpalast and Montreux collections. I always see comments on youtube like, "I've forgotten how good he was," I guess that's caused by his refusal to promote singles, so no radio play. Simply the best blues/rock guitarist ever.

If anyone wants to hear the best of Rory then "The irish Tour " cd is his best live work. There is also a DVD semi documentary in black and white featuring gigs from the Irish Tour. He is the best example of tone through simplicity - i.e Guitar , Amp , Fingers ! Been a huge Rory fan since the sixties and his then band Taste.

I remember seeing him on "In Concert," an old show on TV in the early 1970's. He was brilliant. His energy and passion jumped off the screen! Thank you for bringing some well deserved attention to this late, great guitar maestro. I am really glad you are shining a light on Rory Gallagher.

I've been a fan of his from his first release. Hope you get into breaking down a bunch of his stuff once you get well into it. I was just about to suggest his work in response to your request for suggestions. I thought the same thing when I heard Stevie, but never heard him mention Rory. Seems like he absolutely must have heard him, they sound so much alike in many ways. As far as his personal side and his health, you might want to read some of what I believe to be sincere first hand insights... http://www.roryon.com/rorytimes.html Glad you discovered Rory.

Haven't heard him in quite awhile and forgot how good he really was. Amazing. Thanks for sharing that. That was great. Haven’t heard him in quite awhile and forgot how good he really was. Amazing.

His liver didn't like that much Guiness, he died following a liver transplantation in 1995. So there are only that much DVDs and CDs of him and there aren't going to be more. Nevertheless he left lot of great music. Well actually he *was* a great guitarist, ’cause he’s dead like SRV.
