...the live disc of this 2 CD set rivals "Irish Tour '74" for the playing, emotion, etc. Time and time again, we're finding that the BBC has a veritable treasure trove of musical gems in their vaults. While the studio disc didn't thrill me quite as much as the live disc, that's nitpicking. The studio disc is still chock full of great performances and is worth having. From the liner notes, it appears that Rory's brother has many more hours of BBC tapes at his disposal. One only hopes that he can put together another collection to rival this. Although Rory may have passed too early, his legacy will continue to grow with high sound quality, well thought out, releases like this.
Very good collection of songs. Bluesy but in a very early 70's sort of way with an arena rock spin on things. Rory Gallagher definitely likes long solos and I tend to prefer the live disc to the studio disc, but both are getting lots of play right now. Hard to believe that more people (in the USA) haven't heard of him. Too bad he's gone.
some of the best version done by Rory . the live set is outstanding The studio version are recorded really well.. What a shame he is gone.
