Rory Gallagher - Too Much Alcohol ( HD ) Live 22nd Feb. 1977

Description :

Rory Gallagher performs an acoustic version of "Too Much Alcohol" by JB Hutto in the RTÉ studio for the 1977 episode of "Me and My Music", a series that showcased 1970s singers and songwriters discussing the music business and performing their songs. The track, originally on his sixth album "Irish Tour '74", is highlighted in this program, which also reflects Gallagher's quieter, more reflective side following the release of his "Calling Card" album a few months earlier. The show, broadcast on 22 February 1977, features Gallagher's shift from his usual electric style to a more acoustic set, a change he notes as a welcome departure from his typical three-quarters electric performances.
