“Live! in Europe” is an album released by Irish Blues guitarist Rory Gallagher in 1972. As the title suggests, it is a series of live recordings made by Gallagher during his European tour.
The album captures Rory Gallagher at his finest, as he tears his way through many of his very best songs.
Rory’s high-octane blues-rock was well suited for the stage, a fact to which anyone who saw him in concert or has heard this or other live albums like “Irish Tour ’74? and “Stage Struck” can attest. The set kicks off with two rockers, Junior Wells’ “Messin’ With the Kid” and the original “Laundromat”, before Gallagher slows down for “I Could’ve Had Religion” and Blind Boy Fuller’s “Pistol Slapper Blues”. The pace quickens for “Going to My Home Town”, a showcase for some fierce mandolin playing with enthusiastic audience participation, and the rocking boogie of “In Your Town”. “Bullfrog Blues” provides the finale during which the other two thirds of the power trio, bassist Gerry McAvoy and drummer Wilgar Campbell, get to solo for the appreciative crowd.
