Free Music Notes for Live at the Isle of Wight
Free Music Review: One of the finest rock/blues ever made
Hit: 5 Stars
It is impossible to convey to anyone who never heard "Taste" on stage how such totally opposed,combative,feuding,contentious, brawling,individually brilliant young musicians could blend into such a perfect gestalt of mind and music whose power,rage,and compassion was both anguish sheer unadulterated delight.the closest we may ever come to understanding and tracing the development of this unique three headed hydra-who became for me and many others one of the greatest live rock/blues in the late 60's-early 70's is here in this unprecedented live classic and previously unreleased work.however,for the six tracks recorded here,demonstrate a band at the peak of its abilities.gallagher's guitar is razor sharp,the bass and drums are interlocked in a perpetual rolling struggle,whilst gallagher's guitar particularly on "sinner boy" is simply stunning.get it on your cd' player and get wild with "Taste".Free Music Review: If it's the blues you want......
Hit: 5 Stars
For me this disc along with "Live Taste" is the high point of the late Rory Gallagher's recorded work and also sets the view that Rory Gallagher was taste on it's ear.Throughout this set the rhythm section of McCracken and Wilson support ,cajole and at times threaten to upstage one of the best blues guitarists ever to set foot on a stage. This is a no holds barred blues rage from start to finish, these guys play with a passion and commitment that no longer seems to exist in rock music.I have no idea who followed them onstage at the Isle of Wight, but I bet they took a long time to set up,this was no easy act to follow.Another reviewer has described this set as incendiary and I couldn't agree more. The sound quality on this disc is fairly ordinary(mine came with a sticker claiming it had been re-mastered)but I still have to give it 5 stars.If it's the blues you want...look no further.
Free Music Review: Raw sound from 1970
Hit: 5 Stars
A unique blues sound out of Ireland.Fronted by blues legend Rory Gallagher, this live recording captures the spirit of the Isle Of Wight Festival (Hendrix played the same festival).Complete with feedback and a snare drum that rattles with the bass lines. Good road music !
Free Music Review: Super DVD of Rory Gallagher's "Taste band" at the Isle of Wight festival.
Hit: 5 Stars
This is an excellent CD of the late Rory Gallagher at his best at the Aisle of Wight festival. Both the classics, "Catfish" and "Sugar Mama" are included as well as "What's Going On."Free Music Review: Jimi Who?
Hit: 5 Stars
Briefly.This was the day Rory Gallagher upstaged Jimi Hendrix.Rorys first band Taste blew Hendrix away this day on the isle of man.Great album,sound quality is poor.
