Hey Moon. I’ll look for this. Saw Rory at the Shrine AUD in L.A. early on. He was amazing. The opener was RUSH and I think it was pre-Neal Peart. Hated ‘em. It was before Geddy stopped screeching and before they got manageable hair and less ponderous songs. But it was probably more that I was dying to see Rory. Hope all is well with you buddy.

This is actually a better find than Fireballet. Gallagher was pretty big in Europe and UK. I know guitarists there who have a replica of his beat-to-shit Stratocaster. But he never really got traction here. I'd been following him since his Taste group. The early releases were great, but I like some of his later, more sonically produced albums as well like Top Priority, produced by Deep Purple's Roger Glover and Calling Card.
