About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

The resurrected Buddha acquired the rights to much of Rory Gallagher's prime material in 1999. They began their reissue program with his first two albums, then they moved to what most hardcore fans would consider the crown jewel of the series, a double-disc collection of Gallagher's BBC sessions. Like most lead guitarists (at least those of his generation), he would often expand his music when playing live, turning in vibrant, exciting versions of his material, peppered with great guitar solos. Although it lacks the kinetic spark generated whenever a musician performs in front of a live audience, BBC Sessions is one of the finest live sets in his catalog, thanks to its crystalline fidelity, strong performances, and classy presentation. Certainly, this collection isn't for anyone that isn't already devoted to Gallagher, but for those who are, there's plenty to cherish here -- individual solos, impassioned vocals, and good liner notes. It's an excellent, worthy addition to his catalog, and it helps confirm Gallagher's gift as a blues-rock guitarist. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

May 07, 2005: Donal,You must have more of this live stuff? It just kills the studio recordings and makes you want to hear more. As a fan of over 30 years , I only got the chance to see Rory twice...Both in 82 Punchestown,Eire 20 yr Hot Press and the Cleveland Oh.Agora in the fall. We need more of these live examples. What a great player , singer and human being. We all miss him. God Bless You All, Uncle Rich

February 28, 2000: Yes indeed, as a real time RG fan I think this record of the late RG has his best live recordings and studio recordings ever heard. Personally I feel RG was always better on stage but just listen to the 2nd (studio)disk and hear him make his guitar sing. The 1st (live) disk is a 'must listen' from number 1 to the end. Can't recommend it more !
