"'Irish Tour '74' has always been regarded as a classic live album release, edging the earlier 'Live In Europe'. Now, to celebrate the 40th anniversary Donal Gallagher and Sony have assembled the definitive statement ... As far as the actual packaging goes - it's a bit flaky with a stick-on track listing on the flimsy box almost an afterthought. The sound quality, though, has been improved and Rory's raw energy and power is captured perfectly across the seven discs even if a little rough by modern standards. Tony Palmer's documentary is an excellent inclusion - a great representation of the times and putting the gigs in context".

"Irish Tour '74 was originally released as a 2-LP live set by Polydor Records. Its program contained 10 songs, several lengthy electric workouts by Gallagher. Long considered one of the finest live rock recordings, Irish Tour '74 saw several CD releases that resulted in better sound, but no additional material. Was any recorded concert set wanting for unreleased material it is Irish Tour '74. Sony Legacy has brought the goods with this 6-CD, 1-DVD (the DVD being of Tony Palmer's documentary) ... This is music of hunger and worth deserving of acknowledgement".
