Popis - STAGE STRUCK-HQ/BONUS TR- / 180GR. AUDIOPHILE VINYL / INCL. BONUS TRACK 'BAD PENNY' [VINYL]:
Pressed on 180-gram audiophile vinyl and includes the bonus track 'Bad Penny'. Although this is the third live album by Rory Gallagher, 'Stage Struck' proves that no live recording of Rory and his trio ever got boring and as they were simply never the same. This album captures him on a grinding world tour in 1979 and 1980, pumping out blues-rockers with requisite aggression in cities all around the world, including San Francisco, Melbourne, Paris and Los Angeles. The material on this release is from his classic albums 'Calling Card', 'Photo-Finish' and 'Top Priority'. Backed by his fierce as ever rhythm section of Gerry McAvoy on bass and Ted McKenna on drums, there is no doubt that Rory & co. were ever trying to present a subtle set for music listeners. This release sounds more rushed than the other two live albums, as incendiary riffs, groovy organ hooks and intense vocals give you the feeling of being one of the front row fans at a concert of the guitar legend.
