The first time i saw you was in Tegelen(Holland).There you did in 5 years 3 performances and indirectedly there was a bondages between us.Many years after that,there were several RG tributes to and that was the time that I and many more people gave Rory the respect for his music.I still believe that rorys musicis a lifeline through my life and for that I would thank him with all my heart.God bless you,your music is still in our hearts. | |

He was great artist and a decent human being. It's sad that he left us so young and we don't have the chance to see him from up close anymore. I'm thankful that we now have youtube and see him "alive" and rocking once again. Rory you "live" in all of us. | |

Rory, little do you know you inspire me to go on but it sucks without you. I first listened to you when working at the American Embassy in Malta, which was 1985, as a US Marine. From that point on I was hooked. Today I am 51 years of age and still hooked. I've read all kinds of articles and comments from your loyal fans and come to tears. I see you on You Tube and come to tears. Come back to us dammit......please. RIP you lovely angel...... | |

During the 70s, whenever he was in town, we would hang together and I came to call him my friend. Aside from his playing, I couldn't get past the fact that, though it worked well, his equipment LOOKED like crap! Not just his guitar, his amplifiers as well.
We drifted and lost touch, then when the computer came into my house I decided to try and find him. To my shame and dismay, I found that he had left us some years earlier, I just didn't know. So, to you my friend, you are still in my heart, which means to me you will never be gone...but I DO miss you. | |

I saw Rory in concert in 1978 (Offenbach). We had a great time there and I've remained a true fan of his music ever since. Too bad he had to die so early. We found his grave in Ballincollig on our trip to Ireland in 2008. It did not feel right - I kept thinking: "He can't be here. I can still listen to his music." The locals who pointed the way to his gravesite seemed a bit amused at the continued interest in RG years after his death. | |

I never had the privilege of seeing Rory in concert, the closest being in 1980 reading festival where i missed him by 5 minutes, i am now 46 myself and there is something about Rory that is so approachable if you understand what i mean, he is like the boy next door playing his guitar in his bedroom,i feel he has never had the recognition he deserved and in my eyes is truly a great amongst greats the best !!! | |

Was lucky enough to see this "King" 4 times.
I was 16 years old making out with a girl named Roz on the couch in the P's house and with the old hifi stereo's, that finished an album side and started it again at the first song, played Sinner and Saint Side 2 about 20 times. Crest of a wave...In 1986 I was breaking up with a girl named Kim(her doing) and "I fall apart" came on my cassette player and that song is, to this day remembered by that sad drive home from Pella windows were I worked. I'm 45 years old and am a huge lover of music and know some of, if not all of the best ever written and no one, NO ONE can write a song like Rory and in my opinion, no one will ever be able too. When Rory died, I raced through my memory box and found the ticket stub from June 7 of 1983(at Metro on Clark St just a block away from Wrigley Field) and had it framed and matted with his obituary...It is my most prized possession. Also, I made one big picture of all of Rory's albums. I framed 12 of them and placed them on a piece of plywood and framed that with casing. There are 10 children in my family and have 6 older brothers. They loved Rory and he was always playing on the Reel to Reel and album...you could say I have been listening to Rory my ENTIRE life.

First saw Rory at the Lincoln Pop Festival in May 1972 and many times after that. What a guitarist, what a performer but above all what a true gentle man. Talent balanced by humility, kindness and respect always tranmitted to his audience during live performances and intereviews. A great bluesman so sadly missed.

During my recent trip to the Cork region, I went to visit Rory Gallagher's grave in Ballincollig. It was easy to locate due to its unusual (and beautiful) headstone design which stands out among all other plain stones in the cemetery. The cheap junk that had been left on RG's grave was a disgrace. Still, I was glad to have been there and took some nice pictures home. Ireland is worth a trip. | |

Just want to send Christmas Best wishes up to heaven to my favorite guitarist. I turned 50 years old on the 17th of December and want to thank Rory for being in 34 of those 50 years. There is not a day goes by when I dont play Rory,to remind me of why I fell in love with him back in 1973.

Well Rory's gone to heaven to sing the blues........
Hope there is is music there Rory, if there is you will be with the best of them. I had the pleasure to witness your brilliance 3 times live here in Ireland........ As the crow flies, your a million miles away, your no sinner boy - just the the boss 'That the Devil made you do it' and that you were 'Jinxed' from the start. Your music is alive and well Rory, as are my thoughts and memories of the softly spoken gentleman who was a real guitar legend. Forget U2, Thin Lizzy and the likes - you were the originator of Irish Rock. God Bless you Rory. El Rojo. | |

I grew up listenening to your music and It got me through my early years when I was surrounded by Disco and Musicals. Everyone would turn their head sideways when I played Shin Kicker or Calling Card on the 8 track player in the car. I found out in 1999 that you passed and final had seen live footage from the Montreaux sereies of concerts. You are sadly missed in my life.Thank you for exsisting as long as you did. | |

One of the true greats of 20th century popular music. For me 'Walk on Hot Coals' from 'Irish Tour '74' remains one of the finest rock recordings of all time. Saw him twice (Leeds Uni and The Rainbow Theatre) in the mid-seventies, and will never forget those concerts. As a previous signer has said, I will be playing his records till the day I die. | |

Bought 'Live in Europe'on the strength of hearing Bulfrog Blues on BBC's Whistle Test,the man had such an incredible talent that is lacking in todays so called "Musicians",I had the good fortune to see him live on stage five or six times over the years and never left a gig disappointed,the world is definitely a poorer place with his passing | |

I was at one of his concerts in 1977 or 1978 in Frankfurt/Germany. It was a great concert. Gallagher was a lively and untiring performer - I distinctly remember his blue and white plaid shirt which was flying along with him as he jumped from one side of the stage to the other. The concert was sold out and everybody was "roryng" with him. We knew all of his songs by heart. On the dark side, however, I recall that he drank alot of beer during that night (but never appeared drunk). He was so handsome - great hair ;) - and talented. Later the alcohol took its apparent toll on him and his voice, too, which was already noticeable during the second concert I attended in 1991, I believe. Such a waste of a human being and talent. I will always remember him as he was in the 70's. | |
