Rory Live 1972

Rory Rocks Belfast

1972/01/01     Ulster Hall, Belfast, N-Ireland

-----article from Melody Maker, 1972/01/08 issue

BELFAST got a rock-'n'-roll concert on New Year's Day in the city's notorious Ulster Hall. Heading the bill was Rory Gallagher. It was the first public rock concert there since early last summer. The show was sold out weeks before. Sources close to the underground promised the IRA would "leave it alone." Two thousand people were overjoyed as Gallagher---a native of Cork, Southern Ireland---took the stage, just 24 hours after the city had witnessed its biggest bomb blast during a night of at least 10 explosions. "I see no reason for not playing Belfast. Kids still live here," said Gallagher. It was an emotional affair, considering the total neglect Belfast has suffered as far as live music is concerned. The authorities were pleased to let the concert go on---but more concerts depend on the willingness of the big British groups to travel there.

北アイルランド紛争中のベルファスト、アルスターホールでロリーが1972年ニューイヤー・コンサートを行なったことを伝える、『メロディー・メイカー』1972年1月8日号の記事

（訳）……この地でのロックコンサートの公演は前年の夏以来。チケットは数週間前に完売。IRAは関わらないという“近い筋”の確約もあった。市内少なくとも10箇所で爆発という最悪の爆弾事件が24時間前にあったばかりだが、南のアイルランド共和国出身のギャラガーはステージを敢行して2000人を喜ばせた。「若者達はそれでもベルファストで暮らしている。僕がライブをやめる理由は見出せない」とギャラガー。ベルファストがライブに関してはまったく不遇な状況に置かれていたことを考えれば、感動的な出来事だった。当局側もコンサートの履行に満足。だが今後の他のコンサート開催の可能性は、英国の有名バンドにベルファストへの旅の意志があるかどうか次第だ。

I Could've Had Religion issuedw as Various Artists DVD Blues Rock The Anthology and Guitar Legends, The Ultimate Anthology from Classic Rock Legends Ltd, UK 2004.

Full version issued as Various Artists DVD British Rock Viewseum Vol.3 from WHD Entertainment Ltd, Japan 2010. 

ロンドン・マーキー・クラブでのライブ映像。5曲の中から特に「I Could've Had Religion」の名演奏は、2000年代以降の様々なコンピレーションDVDや音楽誌の付録DVDに入れられた。フィルムは退色が激しいが、ロリーの鼻先から滴り落ちる汗までが克明に映り、24歳にして人生の折り返し点で悔恨の情に立ちすくみ、ブラスのスライドバーの演奏がむせび泣くような凄みをも感じさせる。ロリーのこの演奏をボブ・ディランが見て「I Could've Had Religion」を自身のレパートリーに加えたいと思ったが断念した、という話が伝わっている。『British Rock Viewseum Vol.3』という日本で2010年に出たヴィンテージ映像集では、テイスト1969年ビルゼン・フェスティバル出演時の2曲とともに、1972年マーキー5曲フルバージョンを見ることができる。
