Taste - The Irish Werewolf

In the British blues boom of the mid-'60s, fronting a band was considered career suicide. But it was hip and cool just like today. The difference is, today you know if you make it, you can live comfortably. Back then, the road map had yet to be drawn. Those who formed bands were like explorers of the unknown.
The power trio was a construct invented by Cream and The Jimi Hendrix Experience. All others, including Taste, were imitators. Gallagher's Taste had him as a virtuoso performer on the guitar, mouth harp and occasionally on horns. You can hear Gallagher play all his tricks at this show which was the band's final European tour. All their concert favourites are here - Morning Sun, Sugar Mama, I Feel So Good, Catfish and Same Old Story. Taste were more blues than rock and Gallagher was sometimes spell-blinding with his technique. Check out the final track, Pontiac Blues, a mesmerizing finish to a guitar-dominated show. Taste were never about songs.
By the end of 1970, Taste disbanded with McCracken and Wilson forming Stud while Gallagher moved on to a solo career.
Judge for yourself if this young Irish guitar slinger got Albert King's and Buddy Guy's blues moves right. Gallagher had a long solo career till he passed away in 1995
