Title: Why Rory never Caught on in the States
Review: This is a glorious DVD. Being a 50-year-old geezer who is the self-appointed minister of rock culture in my house and family, I am forced to bludgen my son and his high school friends over the head with "the best music" that they missed out on due to their age. And when I do expose Rory Gallagher's catolog to the great unwashed, I am always asked, "Why wasn't Rory Gallagher popular here in the states?" I don't have the exact answer but it may have something to do with Rory not being a pop act the way Clapton was. Clapton was great at playing the blues but most of Clapton's successes were pop songs. Rory never went near the pop idiom; pure stripped-down blues rock. Same with Robin Trower. Neither of those guys turned out any pop turnes.So enough of my silly rant! Pick this DVD up immediately and see a true artist!
