Anyone who saw the Irish singer / guitarist Rory Gallagher play live in the Netherlands in 1995 may have also whistled and shouted along. The man was completely insane and a shadow of himself and would die that same year from complications of a liver transplant. Fortunately, there are plenty of albums and images of Gallagher in his heyday, such as the DVD Irish Tour '74 and now these three discs
… full of everything that was ever filmed of Gallagher during the German television program Rockpalast; five concerts between 1976 and 1990. The Irish master guitarist is constantly in top form and is bursting with playing fun. The latter is also expressed in two informal jam sessions, recorded after the shows. Some songs come along a few times (Secret Agent, Out On The Western Plain) but never sound the same. This limited edition shows Gallagher in full detail and as he really should be remembered.
