Live Taste is the first live album from Rory Gallagher and Taste. It was recorded at the Montreux Casino in Switzerland in 1970 before it was burnt down and immortalised in the Deep Purple song, Smoke On The Water.
There is considerable crossover between the set lists on Live Taste and Taste Live At The Isle Of Wight also recorded in 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.
