This Dvd contains the concert originally released on vhs as "Messin' with the kid - Live at The Cork Opera House". But now with superior audio to complement this landmark performance, a unique and highly personal "Rough Guide to Rory's Cork" has been compiled, showing locations, memorabilia and rare and unseen photograhps - all suplemented with ancedots, plus, there's the Big Guns Short documentart, a comprehensive discography and much more.
A true labor of love, Live In Cork (previously released on VHS as Messin' With The Kid) functions as a salute to the late guitarist and singer Rory Gallagher, a travelogue to the Irish city and a celebration of the bluesman's homecoming. The well-wrought graphics of the DVD menu aren't mere niceties but an extension of the colorful adventure that was Gallagher's career as one of the greatest, albeit relatively unsung, blues-rock musicians of our time.
Rory Gallagher was unique among guitar heroes of his era. It wasn't so much the tireless work ethic that made him the definition of a road warrior, or the diffident attitude toward his career that moved him to stubbornly refuse to release singles from his albums at a time such releases were a paramount means of commercial promotion. The late Irishman steadfastly clung to his roots in rock, folk and blues with an earthy attitude that, like the weathered body of his guitar revealed in the close-ups of the instrument, lent his music a gritty tenacity.
Consequently, in marked contrast to his peers of the prior generation—Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page—Gallagher eschewed compromise in any form and so engendered a loyalty in his fans that matched his own fiery demeanor onstage. Featured here with a trio in 1987 at the Cork Opera House—Brendan O'Neill drums and Gerry McAvoy on bass with occasional guesting on harmonica by Marc Feltham—the stripped down sound nevertheless roundly resonates, whether within the slashing hard rock riff of "Continental Op" or the funkier likes of Sonny Boy Williamson's "Don't Start Me Talkin.'" Not in optimum health at the time of this recording by Irish television, Gallagher nevertheless dives into his performance with focus to match his customary abandon.~Doug Collette. Allaboutjazz.com
