This album is alternate takes of just about every single he released from 1971 until his passing.

Just about every live appearance he did on every BBC show is on this amazing record and I wish I had a physical copy for myself

Weird thing was he wasn’t named on concerts billing. He was billed as special guest both times. As a fan of Rory I was blown away when I heard he was playing. He didn’t disappoint. The headliners had to work their asses off to top him. Very humble man, which is rare for an elite guitarists. You Rory fans might want to check out the video of him performing “Souped Up Ford” on the Old Gray Whistle Test show.
