  • HR: in His Recent Interview with Blackmoon Magazine, Jack Bruce Told Us That One of His Favourite Performances Had Been at Rockpalast with Rory Gallagher
    HR: In his recent interview with Blackmoon Magazine, Jack Bruce told us that one of his favourite performances had been at RockPalast with Rory Gallagher. What are your own memories of sharing the stage with Rory? Gerry McAvoy : I remember the night Jack Bruce got up and jammed with Rory at Rockpalast. Jack had done his own show before us (solo on piano). It was fantastic, just to listen to that voice was amazing. I don't know if it was pre-planned, but when we finished our performance and as we were about to go back on stage for an encore, Rory asked Jack (who was standing side stage) would he like to get up for a jam. Jack said yes, and asked me if I would mind if he used my bass rig. Here's Jack Bruce, my idol since I was a teenager asking to use my amp. I mean, what do you say? So they jammed "Politician" a Cream number, It was fantastic! As for my own memories of sharing the stage with Rory. It was fantastic 90% of the time. Like any band you do have off nights. But they were few and far between. It was a pleasure to work with a man with so much talent. Ted McKenna : Always on the edge. Never sure of what might happen next. Always pushing to give 150% for the whole 2hr - 2.30min show. That's the way Rory played. It was real and raw with all the rough edges. I'd call it Rock'n'Roll! Hearing from Gerry there about Jack Bruce, it reminded me that I'd had the great pleasure of working with Jack some years ago myself.

So why, asks his brother Dónal, did he die so quietly? By Ed Power 15 June 2020 • 10:28am 123 On January 23, 1975 Mick Jagger stood in the arrivals hall at Rotterdam airport on the look-out for a long-haired Irishman in a checked shirt. Eventually he spotted Rory Gallagher, the 26-year-old guitar wizard from Cork, fresh off a flight from Heathrow. Gallagher walked slowly through arrivals, hefting a suitcase, his battered 1961 Fender Stratocaster and an amplifier. He and Jagger went outside to a taxi rank. Jagger and a cabbie haggled over the price of the 15 minute drive back to De Doelen Concert Hall, close to Rotterdam Centraal train station. Bombed into oblivion during the war, the 2,200 capacity venue had been rebuilt in 1966. Now it was playing host to a different kind of conflict, as the Stones rehearsed for their upcoming tour. This was to be their first since the surprise departure that December of guitarist Mick Taylor (who had in turn replaced founding member Brian Jones in 1969). Gallagher was in the Netherlands to audition for the berth vacated by Taylor. Later that evening he stepped onto the cavernous De Doelen stage, his footsteps echoing in the floorboards.
