Gallagher, Rory - Shadow Play Lyrics
In the flinty light, it's midnight
And stars collide.
Shadows run, in full flight
To run, seek and hide.
I'm still not sure what part I play
In the half light, on this mad night
I hear a voice in time.
Well, I look back, see a half-smile
Then it's gone from sight.
Won't you tell me how I can find my way
In this shadow play, this shadow play.
Sounds come crashing
And I hear laughing
All those lights just blaze away.
I feel a little strange inside
Sounds come crashing
Can I hear laughing?
All those lights just blaze away.
I feel a little strange inside
A little Dr. Jekyll, a little Mr. Hyde.
Thoughts run wild, free as a child
Into the night.
Across the screen a thin beam
Of magic light.
Things they just don't look the same
In this shadow play, this shadow play
Shadow play, shadow play.
I can't run away from this shadow play

Gallagher, Rory Shadow Play Comments
The bass player in Rory’s band is pretty awesome!!!
He was such an underrated guitar player!! Loved this guy!
Dude I can not get enough of Gerry in this lol that hair and power stance. Dude is having the most fun ever play an instrument. So awesome watching these 2
RRHOF MUST COME SOON FOR RORY!
rumour has it that very strat once belonged to Jimi !
I have not seen better live performance than this one! This one is a must requirement for my soul at least once a week. Rory is the true master! And a Real monster!
This along with Live in Europe were my very first Gallagher's albums, back in 1990. So glad I started with his live performances. Thanks for the upload.
πως τους πετσόκοψες έτσι;
Rory the best blusista
Ακούστε πίσω το μπάσο!! Το ξεμούνιασε!!
Insane!!!
👍IT'S PURE MAGIC👍
Why Rory? Too soon RIP
A master at work he made it look so easy sleep well rory
All comments aside Rory Gallagher is Rory Gallagher ! Legend !
ME EMOCIONO COMO SIEMPRE CUANDO LO VEO Y ESCUCHO, ME LIQUIDA, RORY ES EL MEJOR, TOTAL ENTREGA AL ROCK Y AL BLUES, POR SIEMPRE MAESTRO! GRACIAS POR TANTO
Senza parole 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳
Rory goes always beserk on stage , such a great artist . A great piece of music died when rory died
Jimi Hendrix was asked who he thought was the best guitar player in the world and he said Rory Gallagher. Enough said
A good song, a very good baseline, a very good drummer and a sublime guitarist. What do you need more?
Since Rory is gone, the guitar is sad
"Ted Mckenna" (R.i.p)🎵🎼🎶😎👊
Great individual play by all instruments. The solo is fucking sick as shit. The bass player is out of his mind and the drummer did some of the sickest shot I've heard in a while. But the song writing itself on this particular track does not compare to some of the greats such as The Who. It's kinda obvious the way he strums his guitar he was a huge Townsend fan. All the hype I've heard was too much. But the playing is really amazing. Just I dont really see where the song was that amazing. Decent song I guess.... Please listen to what I'm saying and dont take it the wrong way
I still claim I wrote this riff with Mark Cockburn Find it on Jon The Postman Album as Kowalski of the Seaview Seaview & the Hair Cut ASCAP owe us $$$$$$ but only of 2 of are still alive Love Rory.s lyrics
fan-bloody-tastic.
δοσε πονο ρε αρχοντα
I've been listening to rory all my life and he has the same guitar since ever
Dedicado al Señor Rosendo Mercado por seguir siendo un Crack de la Música española y del MundoMundial con todo mi afecto y mis respetos !!! Salud y Vida Pa'lante !!! Cheers and Life On !!!
El Rory de La Elipa
......... Never ever gonna see anything like this again . His genius is beyond everything , no compare !
Esto está canela 👏👏👏👏
Today he would have named the song shadow ban.
So so good. Savage bass too
👍👍👍
Make that over 60 years - I am getting old now but he was my youth !
For many months I would stand in the basement of a disco in Dublin and stand sometimes one to one facing Rory playing sets that had next to no audience except me. He played with the same energy as if a crown of thousands was watching with such great musicians supporting him. He was the best guitarist I have seen in 50 years all over the world. Live on Rory, Jim Ryan now working in Bangladesh.
too much flanger and too few chords homeboi
Holy Mother of Everything.
Its a fantastik song!!!♥♥
Screw the down voting troll wannabes. I fuck their mamas on a nightly basis and regret continuously my failure to use contraseptives.
Grazie "NEA ZIXNH" ✿ܓ
❤🎼🎹🎺🌺🎧🎼🎼💙🎩🎩🎩
Best bass men
Never seen this before. What a gem of a clip. Sad that I only saw him live once but it was a fantastic gig.
He was the shit! 🏔💚🎸
The MESSIAH Stuff Clapton 😬
Rory try to submerge us with disposable junk music. How much is missing, but your music and you will never be forgotten.
What talent met him in Dublin in the 80s another Irish rock legend 🇮🇪🇮🇪
Rory Gallagher has got to be one of the most underrated guitarists in history 😡 How he doesn't feature more on guitar polls, I'll never know.....
He is a beast
I'm black Irish ancestry com found out Ross family from SC Slave master screwing black mama IAM a mick
アイルランドの雄🇮🇪
Amazing energy. Rory could bring people back from the dead with his performances. Legend
Μεγάλος κιθαρίστας, ιδιαίτερη φωνή R.I.P μεγάλε Rory
Saw Joe Satriani recently the rhythm and speed of drums and bass is very similar. Not to mention both great guitar players. 🎸
Kaliteli insanlar kendinizi belli edin
that strat has been fuckin played where did it end up?
I think it's hilarious when rory turns over the drum mics and the roadies run out to right them. It crackes me up every time I see it.
What a performance....god I wish I was there
RORY WAS BORN WITH A STRATOCASTER ON HIS ARM.
The bands very subtle body language suggests he would beat them
How come he went under my radar beck then? Good that at least now I can back-track...
Quel beau cadeau pour ce soir du 11 novembre .
Iron Maiden before Iron Maiden :).
what a legend , such a nice chap too boot
Теперь понятно откуда взялись Три Аккорда...Фазер хороший..,лидер гитара говно,но самое интересное,это то,что басистом у него Stiv O !!!
someone needs to do a shoegaze version of this song
high energy and great performer...thanks Rory for everything
Cocaine
Ive seen some guitar performances but my god this is the best
Amazing. Thank you. Holy Shit. This is incredibly amazing.
Besst)))
To be honest, I heard about the guitar first, then the man. It is still a marvel to how beat up his Stratocaster is already by '79.
Many thank‘s for this wonderful live on Stage Film Document! Rory was the greatest Guitarplayer of the World!
alcolism
cool punk tune
Fucking brilliant!!
The best ever....
Rory was a jolly good axeman!
J'ADORE
Can you guys image the thrill of having Rory freaking Gallagher play right in front of you?? My god I wouldn't know what to do with myself. One of the GOATs for sure! RIP 💯🐐🎸
I'm 61 and listened to all the 70's music, so why is it I've never heard Rory's stuff??? I'm embarrassed :-( I can't believe what a great showman he is and how he connected with his fans! This guy could rip a Strat with the best of them. Time to go search more of his music!
Just turned 62 and in the same boat. I listened to all kinds of things from middle school on.
My to die for was eric Clapton. But just found rory's stuff about a month ago. Now I can,t get enough and driving my husband crazy.
Best to you from crappy weather ohio.
Goddam monster on the strat
UN HOMENAJE PARA EL GRANDE!!!

Back again 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼✊🏼
Ę P I C Song
Sounds like this song may have had some impact on a few early Iron Maiden songs, .... kinda like some Thin Lizzy songs...
The playing is incredible but the sound guy is doing something wrong I think it needs to balance out the drums and bass because they sound so distant from each other and the bass is overpowering the drums during the solo which is usually not something you want
Think is my favourite Rory tune.
Listen to that gytar, one of the best !!! Love IT
extraordinaire le rory
If this came out in 1979. I was married for two years my husband liked elvis Costello. Me the Allman bros. If I knew about rory at that time. I m sure I would have been divorced sooner. I love you rory. I,m working on catching up with your music. Better late than never. God bless you.🕊🦋🌟✨
Husband was lucky and didn't know it ✌️
Like this show....
The epitomy of a man unhappy in his work 😂 RIP 👍
Thanks for the reminder, and the laugh.
David David
He looked pissed off. Lol
@Jim Hope yeah, looks like they're all miming 😝
Ain't it is amazing that man here in his world a fine observer distinguishes him from his "fans" more often more and he is in all his songs his own guitar his songs from all the Ireland's most prestigious ever written music a library of his time in the world of 10 year so wise.could I find that today oh all yesteryear 'day's time would fly as an cinematic adventure 1 life of ups& downs it's cought.so close to us some soon day I get up to you floating on a cloud the "shadows play to get a " Million miles" away. on the " Crest of waves." hope that the time has not faded.be it a dream the one I have recurring yep" the Irish people have been there for a reason he walked on that thin line no longer bound by a hate for a so called " religion no no to his innermost beliefs his music and not killings for Religion and such like.the magic dragon Puff he has given a kind of solace we a time reminded by human rights to observe be sickly observe a Philby far from this that defeats murder of clandestine sort 's hope soon to be there.KARIN.SOULS ÇAÑNOT DIViDE.BUT TO DIE NOT1 WILL TAKE TÒ GET THE HEIGHTS not 1 oh so religious mislead might try and never succeed.KARIN
it seems lyrics just fill the spaces between the epic guitar play, who cares my head is still banging
Grande guitarrista ! Pena que se foi tão jovem...😞
The best Rori!!
