Rory in full flight at The Venue, London in 1980 Photograph by Fin Costello. “Rory’s playing was so natural that the guitar just seemed to be a part of his hands.” – Steven Tyler quote from Fin Costello's photo album book "RORY GALLAGHER – THE ULTIMATE PERFORMER"
Rory with Al Kooper onstage on St Patrick's Day 1980 at the Lyceum in London. After this show Rory and Al then moved onto The Venue, to play a two hour after party show together. In Al Kooper's autobiography 'Memoirs of a Rock 'n' Roll Survivor' he talks about listening to Rory's music as he was going through prescription medication withdrawals. "The soundtrack for this nightmare was provided by Stevie Wonder's Music of My Mind and Rory Gallagher's self-titled solo debut. To this day, when l hear any music from those two albums, memories of all kinds flood my soiled synapses. They were my only companions on that unguided tour through hell."
