5.0 out of 5 stars A real treat, August 12, 2005

This review is from: Live in Cork [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is exactly how a concert video should be. There's no annoying camera tricks or post-production effects that have ruined so many other releases, (Yes' Keys To Ascension DVD is one that springs to mind!!). The filming puts you on stage with the band, and there's plenty of close ups highlighting Rory and his amazing guitar playing. The band supports Rory brilliantly throughout a selection of his old and new material. One of the highlights for me, is the wonderful solo acoustic version of `Out On The Western Plain'. I highly recommend this video, and really hope it gets released on DVD one day .

4.0 out of 5 stars Back in his home town, May 24, 2009

This review is from: Rory Gallagher: Live at the Cork Opera House (DVD)

It's hard not to take notice of Rory's fight with his health on this video as he is quite evidently not a well man at this stage, however it should be remembered that Cork was often the final venue of an extensive tour when Rory would wind down and spend some time back in his home town.

He plays with all the panache one would expect and his home crowd are appreciative if a little subued, fans weren't getting any younger either. All the favourites are here with an especially great version of 'Tattoo'd Lady' and the solo 'Out on the Western Plain'. Mark Feltham looked a little distracted at times but Gerry McAvoy worked feverishly to get the audience going. The band have always been tight and sensitive to the fact that it's Rory they've paid to see. That is not meant to devalue them or their sensational playing.

If you don't own a video/DVD of Rory in concert then perhaps check out Irish Tour first or Montreux, both are excellent. Live in Cork can be difficult when one is fully aware that Rory would not be with us long after this recording and at times he does look uncomfortable but, as always, the music is top notch and Rory delivers.

This review is from: Rory Gallagher : Live In Cork (DVD)

Rory comes out ripping for his hometown, and this video catches it all. The interactive menus are good as well. This DVD is just more evidence of the talent that the world lost when he passed. Thanks to Donal Gallagher for keeping the footage coming! For those of us too young to see Rory before he passed, this is another Gem!
