And I was in the audience, aged 15, and those opening bars were enough to make me realize that this was something I wanted to do again and again… \"Tore Down\" was my introduction to live, loud, amplified blues and when Gallagher had finished, my 15-year-old self could not contain his excitement. He ran down to the front to shake Rory’s hand…When the \u003cem\u003eBBC\u003c\/em\u003e did eventually broadcast the concert, I taped it by leaning the microphone from my clunky cassette recorder against the speaker of our old transistor radio and I listened to that tape over and over again” Nick Hornby, Author.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLP1 \u003cbr\u003eA1.
