All Round Man — Live In London
(Cadet Concept)
★★★★★
RECORDED over two nights in late 1990, the check-shirted Irish guitar hero is on scintillating form on this 23-track CD set cut live at London’s Town & Country Club.
Taken from unreleased multitracks found in Gallagher’s extensive archive, the shows promoted Rory’s last studio album Fresh Evidence released in May 1990 and his Defender set from 1987.
