Rory Gallagher - Tattoo'd Lady (Live At The Cork Opera House, Ireland / 1987)

Last spring I visited Ballyshannon, Ireland, the birthplace of Rory Gallagher, a great blues rock guitarist who is little remembered in the United States, but he was quite popular here in the Chicago area.

Gallagher's most productive years were in the 1970s and 1980s, he died in 1995.

Cork was where Gallagher began his professional career, so it's fitting that I present a blazing hot performance of Tattoo'd Lady from Cork in 1987.

Before there was Thin Lizzy, before U2, there was Gallagher.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
