Rory Gallagher - Offenburg, Germany 1982

So, I missed a dose of Rory Gallagher and while digging the archives happily found this excellent show which wasn't yet shared here!

Sit back or dance around the house if you can and enjoy this musicianship. Rory, Gerry and Brendan play rock 'n' roll like no one does in these days. And let's not forget guest musicians Mark Feltham on harmonica and Dick Perry and Ray Beavis on saxophone.

A presentation at the SWF3 Festival in Offenburg, Germany on January 16, 1982.

Rory Gallagher - Punchestown Racecourse, Kildare, Ireland 1982

Hot Press, an independent music magazine held a festival at Punchestown Racecourse in Naas, Ireland on July 18, 1982 with an attendance of approximately 16,000.

Rory Gallagher headlined and some of the biggest artists in Irish music (Paul Brady, Bono, Simple Minds, De Dannan, Big Self) made appearances.

Unfortunately this historic recording doesn't have good sound quality but it marked the first time Phil Lynott and Rory played together on the same stage. By the end of Rory's set Phil joined him onstage to play on a few tracks.
