Marc Bolan gone too soon...

There were a lot of Brit Artists who didn't get the recognition they deserved in the States during their time. Rory Gallagher was another one Although Rory went on to be recognized as one of Rocks finest Guitarists it took a long while. I remember back in 1972 or 3 a Concert in EP at the Barn(the old EP county Coliseum) It was the Motor City Madman Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes with Rory Gallagher. I knew a bit about Rory from his stint with the Taste in the late 60s and of course the Nuge was all the rage and would be even more so after the Amboy Dukes but on this night Rory Gallagher reigned supreme. Rory absolutely destroyed The Motor City Madman...Rory has been one of my Guitar Heroes ever since.

Best live performance Rory Gallagher
