Rock and Roll never forgets. Rory Gallagher, the late Irish blues guitar great, died too young, but not without leaving a legion of fans worldwide and over 20 million albums sold. His fiery guitar work rivaled that of contemporaries Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix, putting his country on the R&B map at the height of the troubles in Northern Ireland. A crack group of NYC and Irish musicians rocked the legendary Bottom Line in a tribute performance to celebrate Rory's life and work, and the stunning night was captured like lightning in a bottle. This is Rory's story, told through his songs and the memories of those who loved and were inspired by him. By turns raw, hard-driving, euphoric, and tender, the musicians channeled Rory that night. His potent legacy sprang back to life in a glorious convergence of songs and stories.

Amazing performances!
Fantastic covers and of Rory's songs by Irish rock musicians who really channeled Rory in their performances. Also some great interviews with the performers and Rory's brother, Donal. Can't leave out the great interviews with Larry Kirwan of Black 47 and his performance of his song "Rory."

DVD won't play
I'm a huge Rory Gallagher fan and so am very much disappointed that this DVD won't play in my player. I've tried cleaning the disc and checked the machine with other disc's - they play fine. It appears to open and screen presents "Play", but it won't - any suggestions would be appreciated.

GOOD STORIES
I really don't know many of the people in this DVD that are telling their stories about Rory, but that is what this is - THEIR stories. It was nice to see the historical side of Rory in the states, but this probably won't be watch too many more times
