Rory Gallagher - Liberty Hall, Houston, TX 1974

Joe Bonamassa recently released The Spirit Of Rory Live From Cork, a tribute to Rory Gallagher fully comprised of tracks from the Irish guitarist's catalogue.
It was recorded with the blessing of Gallagher’s family and performed with three sold-out dates in Gallagher’s hometown of Cork and featured a guest appearance by Gerry McAvoy, Rory’s long-time bass player, who joined Joe on stage for Bullfrog Blues.
So, hearing and reading about that very nice effort was the perfect excuse to get back to some old Rory stuff.
In this case a concert at the Liberty Hall in Houston in 1974, same year as the classic live album Irish Tour '74 was released.
