Rory Gallagher: Full Blooded Gallagher
Keith Altham, NME, 13 October 1973
DURING A RECENT trip to America I was able to watch Rory Gallagher work at that musical pit of iniquity known as 'The Whisky A Go Go' on Sunset Strip where so many good British bands have faltered before a crowd of 'tequila sun-risers' who believe they have seen it all before. He produced a full blooded set which got even the blase West Coasters on their feet cheering.
