This great man would have been 62 years old today!
If he were alive I'm sure he would still be kicking some major league $@!!

Just a quick note...for any fans of Rory I just checked the official website to see what was new and the whole website is beautifully redone. I really like the playlist and the full discography page.

I had seen Rory 3 weeks earlier in Feb' 76, just before his 28th birthday. I
gave him a big box of Herco picks which I believe had 36 picks.I'd read somewhere that his picks were difficult for him and his bass player to get, so I thought it would be a nice little gift. Whenever I see these videos of Rory's 28th birthday concert, I think that maybe he's using the picks I had given him.... anyway happy birthday to a great musician and more importantly to a decent human being who always took the time to talk and thank his fans. You're missed Rory !!

I have lots of Rory on my ipod that is connected up to my car radio and I find that I end up listen yo more rory than anything else. It also makes me want to pick up my guitar as soon as I get home.
Happy birthday big man. Great new web site btw.

i saw him a few times , always brilliant live , i remember coming home from work one day to fnd my wife sobbing i asked her what was wrong and she told me it had just been on the news that rory had died , we had a few beers and plenty of rory blasting out of the hi fi , a sad day and a big loss for the music world , rip rory

I saw Rory back in the mid-70's. He opened for another band. I think
the other band was 10cc.

Thanks for the memories bluestube, Happy Birthday Rory Gallagher and RIP.
