The film covers Gallagher and band and obviously spends the greatest amount of time showing them performing in the various venues of the tour. The choice of material is good, as it shows the diversity of styles that Gallagher was capable of. The blues style of As the Crow Flies that he is best remembered for is obviously featured, as are more traditional Irish sounds. Plenty of straightforward rock is there as well, from the heavy sound of Cradle Rock to the more "prog"-ish rock style of A Million Miles Away and Walk on Hot Coals.

Blues-rock music.

Palmer, Tony, 1941-
