My confession is that I don't think I'd heard Rory Gallagher until a few years ago and I still have heard next to nothing other than the occasional live thing I might stumble across on YouTube.

Wow.... had no idea, they do show some bombed out houses in Cork, parts definitely look like warzones
Just FYI, Cork is at the opposite end of the island, about as far away as you can get from where the bombs were going off. The footage you saw was probably filmed in Belfast.

I've been listening to so much 70s blues rock lately (latest purchase was Foghat's debut) but had never really given Irish Tour '74 a listen before today. Guitar playing is incredible, but I really wish his keyboardist didn't sound like he was using a Casio.

You might want to check the Live! In Europe album, which was done right before he added keyboards.

I personally like the rinky-dink electric piano, as it adds a unique flavor absent from other acts of the time & ilk. I can see how it could grate tho.

Thanks for the Live in Europe recommendation, this sounds better to me already.

No keys on the 1979 Stage Struck live album either, more in the hard rock direction too if that's your thing.

i'm another one who's grown to love those keys. that guy's on "blueprint," one of my faves. plus i love how he announces his bandmates on the live albums. "rod de'ath rod de'ath." talk about your de'ath metal! (i know he's the drummer but...)

The Beat Club Sessions is great early live stuff if you don't mind it a little raw
