He also does a killer version of Toto's Africa.

50. Thanks for posting this graywarrior! Rory is and always has been my favorite guitarist

I still remember seeing him on The Midnight Special and how much he LOVED to play the guitar. His joy really showed through. I like one of the comments on the video you posted: "a reporter asked Jimi Hendrix, whats it like to be the greatest gutiarist in the world? Jimi said i dont know ask Rory Gallager." If you get a chance, his Irish Tour DVD is excellent!

[graywarrior]

52. I love that comment.

He had the greatest spirit. Truly born to play guitar.
