Recording Notes: In honor of the recent DVD release by the Rory Gallagher estate
and Rockpalast (Rory Gallagher at Rockpalast which included the entire 10-6-76 Studio L Köln and the infamous,
complete 7-23-77 Grugehalle Essen shows) I bring you this very nice sounding boot.
This is Rory at his finest and most popular (at least for us "older" people) during this period,
his guitar playing is amazing.
From the rocking opening of I Take What I Want, to the jazzy Calling Card, into a slide guitar driven Secret Agent,
Rory is flying! Tattoo'd Lady would become a concert standard and this performance shows why.
The acoustic set of Out on the Western Plain, Barley and Grape Rag/Pistol Slapper Blues and Too Much Alcohol
shows Rory's different guitar styles from country, ragtime and blues.
The second electric set goes from traditional rocking blues (Garbage Man) to a rock standard (Souped Up Ford)
and to the haunting Million Miles Away.
Additional Notes: Two of the tracks on this CD--Shin Kicker and Last of the Independents-
are from the 1978 release Photo-Finish. I have not been able to determine if they are from this show
(experimenting new material) or from a different show (7/18/79 Montreux 10th year show?).
Either way, grab this, as it is a great performance of Rory and the band, tight and high-spirited.
