Is there anyone on here who got to see him and his band live. I would've paid thousands to have been at this gig. Special mention to Gerry McAvoy who was, and still is, a fantastic bass player.
I watched this live on Facebook, it's the closest I have come. Band of Friends playing tribute to Rory Gallagher.
It has Gerry McAvoy and Ted McKenna in the band. As well as Davy Knowles doing a pretty good job filling in for Rory Gallagher.
They used to live stream some fantastic bands from this venue in New York state (It's owned by Daryl Hall), they no longer live stream bands, unfortunately.
But a lot of the old live streams are still available to re-watch. There are some real gems in there too.
Yes saw him at the long gone Pier Pavilion in Felixstowe. Was brilliant,as I remember from within the Newcy Brown and other inebriants haze I would have been in.
Saw him Friday and Saturday night running at the Great Western Festival in Bardney near Lincoln in 1972. He played in place of a pregnant Helen Reddy who couldn't make the flight from Australia on the second night and was just as blistering as the previous night but I can imagine that Helen Reddy fans who had braved the mud might have been nonplussed. Must have seen him at other festivals but can definitely remember going to the Gaumont in 1975 (?) but not sure that Tony McPhee joined him on stage that night.
[edit] Also, if you happen to be touring in Donegal I have just spoiled your surprise at driving through Ballyshannon and suddenly being surprised at Rory Gallagher stepping alongside you as you check the view from the driver's side window:
Saw him at the Gaumont in 1975. One of the first gigs I went to and I was blown away. Fantastic guitarist and particularly good live. Pretty certain I saw him again at the Gaumont but can't remember when. Also saw Band of Friends about 10 years in Cardiff with Gerry McAvoy. A dutch guitarist doing a fair impression of the Master
