William Rory Gallagher, 2 March 1948 – 14 June 1995, was an Irish blues-rock multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and bandleader. Born in Ballyshannon, County Donegal, and raised in Cork, Gallagher recorded solo albums throughout the 1970s and 1980s, after forming the band Taste during the late 1960s. A talented guitarist known for his charismatic performances and dedication to his craft, Gallagher’s albums have sold in excess of 30 million copies worldwide. Gallagher received a liver transplant in 1995, but died of complications later that year in London, England at the age of 47.
Live! in Europe is an album released by Irish Blues guitarist Rory Gallagher in 1972. It is a series of live recordings made by Gallagher during his European tour. Unusual for a live album it contains only one previously released song. All the other songs are either new Gallagher songs or Gallagher’s interpretation of traditional blues songs.
