Live Albums By Rory Gallagher

Rory Gallagher was a great blues guitarist who put in some terrific live performances and his live albums are more authentic than his studio albums.

He started with Taste and then went on to record and tour under his own name.

Rory Gallagher died on June 14, 1995.

It’s useful to look at the studio albums before looking in detail at the live albums.

Taste Live At The Isle Of Wight 1970

Taste Live At the Isle Of Wight was recorded at the big festival on the island in 1970 and showcases Rory Gallagher’s guitar playing.

Rory Gallagher has been one of the main inspirations behind this Best Live Albums blog because I think his Irish Tour 74 album is terrific.

I was listening to the CD and thought that more people need to know about this fantastic live music.

Taste is an earlier 3 piece band with Rory Gallagher on guitar and lead vocals, Richard “Charlie” McCracken on bass and John Wilson on drums.
