Format:Audio CD
This record is over 30 years old now and it has not dated so much as a minute. Rory's playing was inspiring,brimming full of energy and love for his craft ; it shows on every single song recorded here, whether it's soaring blues licks peeling the paint off the walls, gritty blues riffin' making the audience stomp the floor to hell or laid back accoustic work, it's all here. He was a legendary live performer, the real deal in every respect. If you weren't lucky enough to see him live, this record will convince you of that and if you did, then this serves as a welcome reminder ( hardly needed of course ! ) to his immense talent and our massive loss. You won't buy a better blues guitar recording anywhere - ever ; go buy & enjoy.

Rory Gallaghers guitar took him and his audience to another place, and this album captures perfectly the atmosphere and the bond between Gallagher and his fans. Gallagher live - nothing else comes close!

My jaw dropped when I heard this album, it is quite superb. The guitar playing is astounding, and for a live album the band and sound are incredibly tight. It has to be one of the best live albums of all time.

One of the best live albums of the 70s
The 1970s produced some truly awful albums in the 70s - long self-indulgent soloing, terrible sound quality, pretentious waffling song intros, musicians showing off by playing too... Read more

Another Rory CD
Whilst gradually adding to my Rory Gallagher collection, I bought this gem. It's excellent. I didn't realise how good he was live. I can't stop playing it now.

Best live album - ever?
This album is superb. This is the third time I've bought it. Once on Vinyl when it was released in 1975, and twice on CD. Read more

Some artists come alive on stage in a way they can never emulate in the studio. Rory was just such an artist. Read more

Listen at your peril!
What can I say about this CD other than 'Listen at your peril!' It's totally electrifying, showing us Rory at his creative peak. Read more

Proper music from a proper musician
Wow!... Rory was certainly in blistering form during these live performances. No matter what or where Rory plays, he draws on every joule of energy in his body and converts it into... Read more

At this peak
I saw Rory Gallagher in 73, this album captures the energy and excitement of his live show - bloody brilliant
