O.E. Gallagher plays Taste, 18 Mar 2012

Rory Gallagher (Taste) tribute band O.E. Gallagher live at ZZ, Shimbashi Tokyo, 18 March 2012.

In a crowded close venue with friends and fellows, the band performed 6 songs in order of Taste Live at the Isle of Wight throughout the set for the first time. Wonderfully sometimes I found through my camera finder O.E. singing/playing Taste looked like a lad of 22 years old.

さかのぼって2012年3月。
この晩ミュージシャン仲間や親しい友人たちでいっぱいの窮屈なライブハウスで、O.E. Gallagherは初めて『ワイト島のテイスト』をやった。不思議なことにカメラのファインダー越しに見るO.E.は時々、まるで22歳の若造のように見えた。

O.E. Gallagher, 03 Feb 2012 - Not an imitation of Rory Gallagher

Rory Gallagher tribute band O.E. Gallagher live at Outbreak, Yotsuya Tokyo, 03 February 2012.

I thought in this session at last, I could have taken photos of a musician O.E. himself, not an imitation of Rory Gallagher.

さかのぼって2012年2月。
この日のオープニングアクトの若いミュージシャンが、数か月前に初めて共演した O.E. Gallagher を「凄まじい演奏をするバンド」と言い表した。多分この子たちはロリー・ギャラガーのことなど知らないのに、O.E. Gallagher が凄まじい演奏をすることがわかっているのだ。
反応の速いカメラに持ち換えたせいか、「凄まじい演奏の瞬間」が何枚か撮れた。（カメラは当時出たばかりのSony NEX-7、レリーズタイムラグ世界最速0.02秒だと謳う。）
このセッションでやっと、ロリー・ギャラガーのイミテーションではなく、O.E. Gallagher そのものが撮れたような気がした。
