God damn man. Found this album in goodwill a couple years ago for one dollar. Didn't know who he was but he looked like a total rocker on the cover so I got it. This is an incredible preformance it really shows how much of a great musician he was. One my most treasured LPs for sure. Any fans of Gallagher here?

Big fan. Dude had some ENERGY.

Yeah he had a great voice too. I mean he didn't have the best range but he had SOUL.

One of the best live albums put out, and one of his greatest albums in his discography.

Yeah it's definitely one of the best live albums I've heard. He's a really stunning acoustic player too.

Very underrated guitar player.

Yeah he is. It's really pretty amazing to me how few people know about rory. Pisses me off that he died before I could catch him live and people like tom petty and bruce springsteen are still alive and kicking

That may be but I personally have never met ANYONE in my entire life (in person) that knew about Rory before I told them whereas freaking everyone knows hendrix and zeppelin. He's a little underrated in my book.
