Rory Gallagher played a short stint with Taste, the band that started his career in 1966, before jumping into a full-run with a successful solo career. That career delivered an essential 14 albums, three of which were live sets (Live In Europe – 1972, Irish Tour ’74 – 1974, Stage Struck – 1980). It was where Rory Gallagher shone best, his live performances with incendiary guitar magic. Rory Gallagher passed away from liver complications in 1995 at the young age of 47. Fortunately for fans, his music and stage performances still live on.
On July 7, UMC will release a previously unreleased live set with 23 performance tracks. The tracks are pulled from a two-night set of shows at what was then known as the Town and Country Club (now known as O2 Forum) in London. The shows were in December of 1990, just after Christmas. This album is newly mixed from recently discovered tapes. The set is being called All Around Man: Live In London. It will feature a stunning newly designed cover.
All Around Man: Live In London will be released on 2CD, DD, and 3LP sets.
