Gallagher - The Smashing Watermelon Collection
$29.98
From Gallagher's older shows to his new ones, this collection is awesome. I purchased the Sledge-O-Matic collection as well, which has these performances in it as well. This collection has many hilarious shows put onto three discs. It is a must see for all Gallagher fans. I recalled all the times I sat around watching him jump around on that big prop couch. Enjoy!

Gallagher - The Best of Gallagher Volume 3
$9.98
This was a very funny DVD. Gallagher is a stand up comedian that showers his audience with watermelon and other foods with his "Sledge-O-Matic"

Where has this disc been all my life? I knew about Rory Gallagher of course, I even owned one of his studio LP's back in the 70's (Tattoo, I believe it was), but somehow this live LP escaped my attention. After reading the overwhemlingly positive reviews here, I ordered a copy.

I have to say his studio work doesn't do him justice. This disc is a revelation! After hearing it twice, I can unequivically say at the time this was released in 1974, Rory Gallagher was the best rock/blues guitarist working. Hendrix and Duane Allman were dead, Clapton was just coming out of a three-year heroin haze, and was doing far from his best work. Maybe Jeff Beck, another criminally underrated guitarist was as good, but he was getting into jazz fusion at the time.

Every track on this disc blazes with intensity. Rory's band is tight and polished, and his guitar work is endlessly creative. If I had to pick a favorite cut, it would be "A Million Miles Away", because that's where it takes me, but that's not to slight any other track here. I wish I'd seen him live back in those days, but he didn't play the States much, and wasn't well publicized when he did. Oh well, now I have to buy the Montreux DVD.

My dad and I watched all of the Gallagher videos when I was grown up so imagine my excitement when I realized I could buy him ALL of the shows and he would no longer have to search for his VHS tapes. He was so happy to open it and I think he watched every show within a week of receiving it.
