Rory Gallagher: New DVD & CD Releases
August 27th, 2010 |
No Comments
OUT SEPTEMBER 14 ON EAGLE ROCK ENTERTAINMENT
Irish guitar virtuoso Rory Gallagher ignited a legacy that many rock and blues musicians worship and
emulate to this day. On September 14, Eagle Rock Entertainment will issue two releases paying tribune to this rock
icon – Ghost Blues 2DVD set and The Beat Club Sessions CD.
The 2 DVD set, running 179 minutes in total, is the complete Rory Gallagher experience, both revealing his
background as a musical artist and tapping into his dominating stage presence. Ghost Blues, the first disc in
the set, is the first complete and fully authorized documentary of Rory Gallagher’s life and career. The documentary
threads together live footage, archive interviews with Rory, and contributions from his many friends and admirers,
including his brother Donal, Bob Geldof, The Edge (U2), Cameron Crowe, Slash, Johnny Marr (The Smiths), Bill
Wyman (The Rolling Stones), and his former band members Ted McKenna and Gerry
McAvoy, as well as many others.
After traversing Rory’s roots, The Beat Club Sessions portion digs into his prowess as a trailblazing electric blues-rock performer. These live recordings are drawn from three different appearances on German TV’s Beat Club program in the early seventies. The video footage is captured on disc 2 of the DVD package and via select audio on the CD release. With over 90 minutes of previously unreleased material, these performances capture Gallagher in his element, playing classic songs from his first two solo albums that would remain staples throughout his career.
