Rory Gallagher bol írsky bluesrockový gitarista, spevák a textár, považovaný za prvú írsku rockovú hviezdu. Preslávil sa virtuóznym štýlom hry na gitare a intenzívnymi živými vystúpeniami.
Kompilácia Best of Rory Gallagher At The BBC na troch LP prináša výber živých nahrávok z archívov BBC, natočených medzi rokmi 1971 a 1986.
