(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).

It was an old theatre made into a nightclub right on market avenue.

If I was old enough at the time, I would have paid good money to NOT attend woodstock.

A few months ago, I introduced my friend's 16 year old son to the music of Rory Gallagher. I gave him a CD of "Top Priority", and followed it up a couple of days later with "The BBC Sessions".

Even after all this time, my friend says that it is almost the only music the kid will listen to, and he has his buddies from school loving it, too.

Maybe there is still hope for this generation!
