Recording notes

From Against the Grain (1975). Against the Grain is the fifth studio album and seventh album overall by Irish musician Rory Gallagher, released on 31 October 1975 by Chrysalis Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Custom Shop Rory Gallagher Signature Stratocaster Relic through a Vox AC30 C2, the rig we use for Rory Gallagher's other songs from Against the Grain, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
