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.

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.

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.

An absolute legend. His music can get me high, send shivers down my spine and put me on the brink of tears. There is no other guitarist who inspires me for my own music as much as Rory.

I was unlucky enough not to be born at the right time to have ever seen him live, (i'm only 16!), but he will live on for eternity.

RIP

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.
