Rory Gallagher - Live In Cork (DVD audio rip)

Irish-born guitarist Rory Gallagher was one of the most underrated stylists on the 1970s British blues-rock scene. From the time of his initial late-60s performances as part of the power-trio Taste, through his constant touring as solo artist during the 1970s and '80s, Gallagher left audiences breathless with his blustery fretwork and soulful vocals.

In 1987, Gallagher returned home to Cork, Ireland - the city that he grew up in, and formed a unique musical style while haunting the Cork city streets - as a conquering hero. His performance at the Cork Opera House was his first hometown appearance in years, and would be broadcast on Irish television (RTE). Originally released on VHS videotape in Europe in 1994 as Messin' With The Kid - Live At The Cork Opera House, this dynamic performance has received its first North American release, and its DVD debut, as Live In Cork. by Reverend Keith A. Gordon

Jimi Hendrix was once asked what it was like to be the world's greatest guitar player. His answer was, "Go ask Rory Gallagher." (DVDVerdict.com)
