Rory Gallagher-Bad Penny (Rockpalast 1982)

Rory Gallagher Loreley 1982.(ROCKPALAST).

Bad Penny {Lyrics}.

Well, like a bad penny you've turned up again
You're in my sights, there's a mist on my lens
I think you know how it was when I tripped and fell
Well, you've double-dealed me, baby and I broke like a shell, oh

Well, like a bad penny you've sure lost the glow
But I'm out of reach, your smile's sure gone cold
Well, it can't ever be like it was then
Well, don't you fool with me, baby
Well, don't you mess with my plans

Some stormy nights
Your memory haunts me
You won't go away

Well, like a bad penny you have turned up in the change
Try to fit into the picture, you can't get inside the frame
I think you know I'm still sore but I'm on the mend
Times sure have changed, it won't happen again

Well, like a bad penny spins around and around
Well, you won't know what's gone wrong when it all falls down
You got to learn from now on to stop playing games
You ought to keep on moving, you got to spin on your way

Some lonely nights
I hear you calling
Won't you go away?

Well, like a bad penny you have turned up again
You're in my sights, well, there's a mist on my lens
I think you know how it was when I tripped and fell
Well, you've double-dealed me, baby, I cracked like a shell, yeah

Rory Gallagher's music was contagious, electrifying, and mesmerizing everyone who heard it, I feel a deep sadness that he's not here with us!, R.I.P.

The legend goes like this: Hendrix was asked backstage during the Woodstock Festival in August 1969 by a journalist how it felt to be called the best guitarist on the planet. The answer was: No idea, you should go and ask Rory Gallagher.

I don't think anybody could accuse Rory Gallagher of trying to be anybody else's "soundalike"
The man was a true original.

[MrGanaface]

The man was a genius. A true pioneer in Irish rock history!

I guess u could say I'm an "older kid"now but I saw Rory in the USA in 1972. We went to an all day outdoor rock festival at Rockingham Motor Speedway in N. Carolina. Rory closed the show out that night after many acts ahead of him on a long, hot Southern day. Let me tell u he absolutely blew up the stage & gave a killer performance! I will never forget it! My friends & I couldn't believe what we were hearing. We had heard of him but had no idea what that Irish boy was about to deliver! A great show, and an even greater musician!

[tacey]

The most under rated guitarist in rock history, and that aint no lie. Prove me wrong

[stevenstanley]

The bass guitarist deserves highest credit
.. he's badass.

[neil]

Stayed true to his music, didn't care about having a hit on the charts, he played for his audience, down to earth and humble, and at the same time, a great musician, who gave it his all on stage.

[TheAndre]

IDK why it took 24 years of my life to discover this man. But I'm just happy I found possibly one of the greatest musical artists that lived.

[constantinsanna]

RORY GALLAGHER BEST GUITARIST IN THE WORLD. YEA

[markbenedict]

My dear departed wife's favorite song. RIP Georgianne

[tono]

Needless to say, Rory was one of the greatest guitarists at the time, but let's take a moment and appreciate that bass solo starting at 3:23, pure class!

[darrelllancaster]

I need a bigger like button for Rory Gallagher. 👍👍👍

[Boerikoe]

Blows me away every time, God what TALENT.... one of the greatest guitar players ever !!

[keithwillis]

I'm one of the lucky one's to say I've seen Rory live, reading 1980, brilliant no nonsense blues rock. Taken from us far to young.

[bicivelo]

Holy shit. That dude was playing the bass like his life depended on it! Wow! Fantastic!!

[norehabforhounds]

I had the privilege of seeing Rory Gallagher 3 times in my life. Him and his band were a powerhouse. They'd play for almost 3 hours. He'd leave drenched in sweat. He did it for the music and the fans. You get the feeling he didn't give a flying f:#k about anything else. Legend.

[The_Oracle_of_time]

One of the most underrated guitarists in history.

[alancanham]

Great to see so many new people watching Rory and his band.He would have been really happy.

[jj-nhlz]

I am 57 years young, been a rock n roll fan nearly all my life. How the hell did I miss this guy? Fantastic!
