did you ever wake up with those bullfrogs on your mind?

without a doubt, rory is a modern blues legend, the various live cuts coming out with his acoustic slide and rocking blues all show the tremendous talent he had, an inspiration to even an oldschool guy like me to sharpen my licks and get it down, non better , a sad loss to the rock music hall of fame

Simply amazing

Absolutely amazing. Again Rory at his finest. Absolutely a must have for any Rory fan. I own all of his concert dvd's and this 3 disc set covering 5 appearances. The humbleness of this guitar Master brings you right down to earth. I espically enjoy the 2 jam session gigs on disc 2. I won't spoil it, you will just have to watch it your self. I know it has been said of others but where would his music be today had we not lost him at such a young age and definately in his prime. ROCK ON RORY, YOU'RE FOREVER IN MY HEART.I just wish I could touch that old Fender, once. July 18, 2008

Rory Gallagher: Live at Rockpalast (2007)

Have been a big fan of Rory's since the early days of Taste. This DVD is a Great Tribute to the musicians of yesteryear. Today everything is so commercial hardly anyone creates music that is Great, song after song. There is not a bad song to be found on this collection. I personally liked the begining and last shows on the DVD the most. If you like Stevie Ray, Alvin Lee, Jimmie Page you will not be dissapointed. I never really new Rory as an acoustic player, where he is equally Fantastic. Very intimate sets, with pretty good sound for the time.
Enjoy! March 8, 2008
