"Meeting With The G-Man" is volume 4 in the G-Men live bootleg series. Some of the songs on this disk were originally released as part of the "Let's Go To Work" boxed set. The concert was recorded 12-20-1993 at the Paradiso Club in Amsterdam, Holland. Rory was in fine form and the setlist features some interesting songs. Besides supercharged versions of songs like "Continental Op", "Moonchild", "Ghost Blues" and "Messin' With The Kid", rarities like a great cover of Muddy Waters' "Mean Disposition" and a surprising but effective cover of "La Bamba" are included. Sonny Boy Williamson's "Don't Start Me Talkin'" includes a snippet of the Beatles "Revolution" interpolated into the song. This concert included a long acoustic interlude with a number of rare songs. The highlight of the acoustic set is an inspired cover of Son House's "Walking Blues". The sound quality is good considering this set was supposedly taken from a bootleg. Rory Gallagher never fails to amaze whether playing electric, acoustic or slide guitar and this new release is no exception. I can't wait for the next installment in the "G-Man Bootleg Series".

The sound quality on this disc was very poor. It sounded like what it is - a bootleg. It's a shame since the song selection is killer! Check out "Live At The BBC", "Live In Europe" or best of all "Irish Tour" to hear MUCH better live recordings. I felt it was a waste of $15.00.

The set shown in this CD is really great and displays all the extraordinary capability of Rory Gallagher as a live performer. Unfortunately the sound quality is really poor: I expected a quality at least equal to that of the three previous CD of the G.Man bootleg series. I hope there will be the opportunity in the future to listen to a good Gallagher's recording of the period between 1990 and 1994.
