"I like a nice rumble on bass, openness on guitar and drums that breathe." Remembering Rory Gallagher who was born today 2nd March 1948, today would have been his 78th birthday @Rockstarscars @Superstar_Cars #RoryGallagher #photography @rorygallagher 📸 Colm Henry

Jimi Hendrix delivered the performance of a life time at Woodstock 1969

That guitar tone alone changed the game. Santana’s “Black Magic Woman” live in 1970 is pure magic.
