Rory Gallagher was probably one of the Rock artists who toured the most! Sometime 200 shows a year in the 60's and 70's! And if we reduce our studies to France: HE WAS THE (ROCK) ARTIST WHO TOURED THE MOST!!! On his last ten years only... 47 gigs! Who can say much?... No-one!
Sometime, photographers get lucky!
March 8th, 1982 ; Olympia Paris - Jinx Tour
No light on the stage and then I almost see (feel?) that Rory is close to enter. I make a picture with a flash... And here it is!
