Rory Gallagher: Rockpalast Special 96

The Rockpalast Special at Loreley was dedicated to the memory of Rory Gallagher. After several month of work for Donal Gallagher and Peter Rüchel (WDR) to organize this outstanding festival for Rory, it was a shame that only few musicians really joined the Band of Friends. Some of the prospectives (i.e. Jack Bruce, Slash) canceled only one or two days before the show, Donal was very disappointed.
