Hey Joe,

Great stack o'disks!

That Rory Gallagher live in San Diego was recorded a day or two before or after the show I saw in Long Beach front row, center. I know I told the story before, but due to us booing phony Fleetwood Mac off the stage, Rory came out early to make sure we got our money's worth. Five bucks was a lot of dough in '74. Then he played until the city pulled the plug on the P.A. It was over 3.5 hours, a big acoustic set sitting in a chair in the middle, pulled out the Resonator, we got the full monty and then some... That great Irish Tour '74 album was later, but the band was really fine tuned at this time.

Thanks for the sounds!
