RORY GALLAGHER
Boston 1976 [Dan Lampinsk Recording, 1CD]
Live at the Boston Music Hall, Boston, MA, December 4, 1976. Very good audience recording.
Sure, Dave Mason - with his Traffic, Hendrix, Stones and Delaney & Bonnie and Friends background - is an ace guitarist and is the main act and if he was watching from the wings, he would have agreed that support act Rory Gallagher had certainly upped the guitar ante.
From rock to blues and back, Gallagher was packing in so much power and making his guitar sing so much that it does seem as if any vocals would be redundant. Sure makes you want to listen again to his mid-’70s albums such as Tattoo, Against The Grain and Calling Card (which he was pushing at this show). In 1995, Gallagher died of an infection sustained after an organ transplant. He was 47.
Thanks to djscomics for sharing the lossless tracks on the Dime site. Above all, thanks to Dan Lampinski, Carl Morstadt (who mastered the tracks), Kev and the rest of the Lampinski crew.
A note on Dan Lampinski: Dan recorded over 100 concerts in the Providence/Boston area, mostly between 1974 and 1978. Since Dan never traded copies of his recordings, they are all essentially uncirculated. Some copies were made for friends, but these releases are the first time most of these recordings have ever seen the light of day, and are direct from his master cassettes. No EQ’ing has been done to any of the transfers.

I saw the show either just before or just after this at Lowell MA. Rory was great– first time I’d really heard of him. Best memory was driving home in a blinding snowstorm,in a car without wipers. The driver and I were leaning out the windows scraping the snow with our hands. Great–though decidedly dangerous– times!
