We had this topic and question asked on the old official "Meeting Place" RORY forum where a few answered reporting witnessing this..
It is not a myth... IT IS ACTUAL FACT..
Many fans and now accomplished musicians themselves have witnessed Rory do this.. At the Rory Gallagher gigs / concerts they attended years ago


Hi Jay Jay, I'm no doubting Thomas

I believe he could and would, but you have to admit, it is the stuff of legends. As Capo said, why would he need to, we've all seen him play blistering solos with one or two broken strings better than most can with all of them on.
It is one that I absolutely believe he did. I never saw him do it, but I have no doubt he could and did.
