Rory Gallagher Live DVD

(Kayos) Eagle Rock Entertainment is proud to present Rory Gallagher: Live in Cork, a DVD that captures the guitar virtuoso in a special concert. The DVD will be released on March 17.

Live in Cork is a documentation of Gallagher's homecoming, when he returned to Ireland in 1987 to play the Cork Opera House after several years' absence. Originally aired on Irish Television, Gallagher shook the house to its foundations with tracks like "Tattoo'd Lady," "Follow Me," "When My Baby She Left Me," and "Out On The Western Plain."

The DVD is more than a mere concert. The live portion (originally released as "Messin' With The Kid – Live At The Cork Opera House" on VHS) is only the tip of the iceberg. Live in Cork also allows an in-depth look at Rory and the city that bred him. "Rough Guide To Rory's Cork" is a compilation of photos, anecdotes, memorabilia, and other footage from his hometown. Clearly, this excavation of the great guitarist's life and culture is an absolute treasure for a Rory Gallagher fan.

This special set is just the latest Gallagher offering from Eagle Rock. Previous titles include the Live at Montreux CD (July 2006), The Definitive Montreux Collection 2DVD set (May 2006), and the Live at Rockpalast 3DVD set (August 2007).

Track Listing:

1.) Continental Op

2.) Tattoo'd Lady

3.) Don't Start Me Talkin'

4.) I Ain't No Saint

5.) Follow Me

7.) Off The Handle

8.) Out On The Western Plain

9.) Wanted Blues

Not sure, but my ear drums seemed to be damaged after I saw him in 85 or 86 in a Phoenix nightclub.

“Does he smash watermelons with his guitar?”

No, but his Strat looks like he smashes rocks with it!

I saw him at the old Long Beach Auditorium in '70 or '71. He was the headliner, the opening acts were the James Gang, and Edgar Winter's White Trash, if memory serves.

Awesome show, all for $3.00 a ticket!

And the dmoke wasn’t all cigarettes. Though Gallagher fans were more beer and whiskey types than potheads.

Curiosity got the best of me and I had to look it up. $3.00 in 1970 is the equivalent of about $16.00 today. Still cheap for a show like that one.

Considering my most recent concert, Chris Isaak, cost me $150 for two seats, Id’ say yeah, that’s still a bargain.

Back then we did not know what MJ was, it was just beer and cigs.

This is the album that introduced me to Rory. His tone and dynamics were awesome. An honest, no BS, raw live album. Still a favorite of mine.

What do you think of that
I’m sleeping down at the laundromat
If you should pass by drop right in

But I have no clothes to clean
To put inside the machine
It was the craziest place I’ve ever been

Last heard Rory in 1973...

He was equally good later in his career before he sadly kicked the bucket all too early.

Both great guitar slingers who I’ve had the pleasure of seeing.
