Some photos of Rory on stage at Chateau Neuf in Oslo, Norway, on this day in 1978. Plus an article with a pic from the show. Photos taken by Tom Myklevik and Espen Bratlie. From the article: "Along with Eric Clapton and Peter Green, Rory Gallagher is something of a veteran within British hard rock and blues. But while Clapton is a "god" and the enigmatic Peter Green is a living legend, Gallagher has been rather neglected. Just consider: what remains of Eric Clapton today?He’s so laid-back and lethargic that you’d almost think he was about to fall asleep—a typical "boring old fart" with none of his former energy left. Or take the tragedy of Peter Green—originally of Fleetwood Mac…And what about Rory Gallagher? Not only has he retained his down-to-earth, rugged, gritty edge, but he has actually sharpened his raw, earth-churning energy even further; today, he sounds more refreshing than ever. His concert in Oslo this autumn was one of the most pleasant surprises of the year!"
