Live In Europe

'Live! In Europe' was Rory's first official live album, and was recorded throughout Europe during February and March 1972. The album was Rory's first major commercial success and provided his first solo top ten album. In the same year of 1972 he was Melody Maker's Guitarist/Musician of the Year, winning out over Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page. 'Live! In Europe' has served as a massive influence on budding musicians. U2's Adam Clayton and The Edge both cite the album as the recording that made them want to pick up the guitar and play in a rock'n'roll band.
