Songs And Stories-New-York Remembers Rory Gallagher (2002)
"The DVD features footage from the concert as well as interviews with the main players and Donal Gallagher, Rory's brother and manager. Interspersed throughout are performances from Rory himself, and it is these that add the requisite poignance to the whole thing. We are also reminded of the power and the glory of the main man himself, and what a tragic loss he was to the world of music." -RAMBLES
"An excellent bouquet to my brother" - Donal Gallagher
Re: Songs And Stories-New-York Remembers Rory Gallagher (2002)
La présentation:
A strange magic happened at the legendary Bottom Line in New York City on the night of October 23rd, 2002. Rory Gallagher, the Irish blues guitar great, had been gone seven years, lost unexpectedly and far too young, but his potent legacy sprang back to life this night, in a glorious convergence of SONGS AND STORIES.
This celebration of Rory's life and work was a labor-of-love for Seamus Kelleher, a fan of Rory's since his own boyhood in Ireland. He brought together a crack group of fellow musicians to remember the man who put Ireland on the R&B map at the height of The Troubles.
"He was a huge influence," Kelleher says. "During a career spanning 30 years he sold over 20 million albums. He was not only a great blues guitar player, but also a wonderful songwriter and a favorite of Bob Dylan and John Lennon."
The event was captured by Home Team Productions, which is proud to have created an hour-long documentary around the performance, about Rory's life and work. The film, also entitled SONGS AND STORIES, tells Rory's story through his songs; through the words of the musicians so inspired by him; and most poignantly, through his brother Donal, who was his manager and confidant.
"He achieved every goal he set out to achieve," Donal recalls, with pride and not a little rue. "Had enormous silent influence, if you like. Still waters run deep as they say. That's the blues isn't it? He literally lived and died the blues."
Rory Gallagher married the soul of the Mississippi Delta to the heart of rock and roll - he recorded with Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf, whom he revered. As a performer, he was transported, shamanistic, at one with his music, transcendent, possessed. But at the same time, this extraordinary artist was connected with his fans in a wholly human way. Fiercely independent, he rejected the trappings of the rock star. The lives of those lucky enough to see him play were touched forever. And, he threw open a door for the many Irish artists who were to follow in his footsteps, such as U2 and the Boomtown Rats.
The performers interpreting Rory's work in SONGS AND STORIES, among them Pierce Turner, Larry Kirwan of Black 47, Matt O'Ree, Sean Fleming, and of course, Seamus Kelleher of Blackthorn, along with many more, channeled him that night. Call it unfinished business. The music; the man; the memories of those who loved him - an alchemy that speaks to the depth of Rory Gallagher's contribution, and to the enduring nature of his art."

Pour le film, je suis en fait en contact direct (par mail) avec le réalisateur Victor Zimet (je n'ai aps de compte Facebook), et je vais d'ailleurs mettre l'un des mails qu'il m'a adressé ici, mail qui explique la genèse du film.
Donal connaît sans doute ce forum, car je suis en contact avec son fils (Daniel Gallagher, qui gère le site officiel), concernant un projet de discographie.Garbage Man a écrit:Avec un peu de chance on compte parmi les invité du forum un certain Donal Gallagher

L'affiche qui annoncçait le concert (concert qui sera filmé):
Re: Songs And Stories-New-York Remembers Rory Gallagher (2002)
Sont inclus dans ce DVD de courts extraits de vidéos de Rory, toutes déjà disponibles officiellement ("Irish Tour", Cork 1987, Rockpalast, Wight 70), ainsi que quelques photos, également connues (dont certaines prises par JN Coghe, notamment celle de la pochettedu DVD).
Il y a cependant un hommage assez émouvant de Pierce Turner sur une de ses compositions, et des images dees funérailles de Rory captées par la télé irlandaise.
A noter que les reprises des titres effectuées par les musiciens sont plutôt convaincantes (bien que loin d'égaler les originaux).
C'est un DVD qu'on ne regardera pas tous les jours, mais qui est un hommage sincère de fans dévoués. Seul bémol: pas de sous-titres !
Le mot de la fin au producteur Seamus Kelleher:
"When Rory came to town, it was rough going, you know, it was the coming of Jesus!"
