Laundromat

About 7 or 8 years ago, I stumbled upon the late, great Rory Gallagher.  It was on one of the music shoutboxes I frequent...  there was a run of shows by him, and I decided to give one a try to see what it was all about.

I have to say I was a fan the moment I heard that first show, and downloaded as many of his albums as I could find.  I'm a big fan of all of his work, but really enjoy his early 70s albums and performances.

I had actually seen the Beat Club performance of Laundromat (seen here) as part of a compilation of videos on yet another site (that had one of his shows available for DL).  It's off Gallagher's self-titled first album (which I highly recommend, and may soon share the deluxe version that was recently released).

If you're unfamiliar with Rory Gallagher, and are a fan of blues-based rock, or are just a fan of amazing guitar players, do yourself a favor and check out his work.

As mentioned, here's his performance of the song Laundromat from the German TV show Beat Club.  Enjoy!
