Rory Gallagher would've been 68 today. I hereby command you to watch this, whether you know who he is or not. Elmore James would've been quite proud..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33Jaodra7AY

	Saw Rory open for Foghat in Denver in the fall of 1975. Between him and Rod Price there was some really hot slide guitar being played that night.

Great Post Astro Man. I saw Rory and his famously battered Strat, many times. From the Marquee to the Hammersmith Odeon, always fantastic. He created the most wonderful joyous vibe. On his final Tour it was clear his health was not great but he still gave everything to put on the show and there was no disappointment. Just a realisation that this could be the last time.
Do check out his back catalogue. I bought 'Wheels within wheels' last year. It is mostly acoustic but a worthy addition to a wonderful body of work. 'On the Boards' by Taste is also excellent and shows a slight Jazz influence that he sadly never revisited.

I'm glad he never joined the Stones.

And the man was highly revered for his skills. Many guitarists including me site him as a big influence..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xG4mnm0bBQ
