Phil Lynnot on vocals and bass. Gary Moore on guitar in the original 73 studio version. John Sykes on guitar in this great 83 live version. Thin Lizzy is one of my favourite rock bands of all times.
If this is from '83 its Gorham and Sykes on guitar. Phil on bass and vocals (as always) and Downey on drums (again, as always) Oh aye, Wharton on keys. Phil Lynott was one of the greatest frontmen ever! They were incredibly popular in my hometown in Scotland and the gigs always sold out when they played here, which was pretty frequently! Glad I managed to finally see them on this tour as unfortunately it would be the last.
THIN LIZZY is The GREATEST Rock Band to Come Outta Ireland... They are LEGENDARY and Tragic... Just Like Ireland! They Have Too Many Great Songs to Mention... and One of the VERY Few Bands That Sound Better LIVE than on Their Studio Albums : )))
Great version.The voice and bass of Phil plus the dual lead guitars of Scott Gorham and John Sykes on this one,and Brian Downey always on the drums.Thin Lizzy had many great guitarists,starting with Eric Bell.Gary Moore also played wit them.Check out more from them.
i love every album Phil and Thin Lizzy produced! Bad Reputation and Black Rose are my faves. Very diverse band and a crowd pleaser. Live in 78 should be the first for anyone to start with!
Eric Bell original guitarist when they were a three piece, then after he flaked out Lynott always had two gutarist in the band. A pretty much constant Scott Gorham holding down "stage left" and Gary Moore (for multiple stints), Brian Robinson, Snowy White, John Sykes all absolute beasts and Midge Ure in the constantly changing "stage right" spot (along with a host of others).
This song is actually co-written by Gary Moore who played all the guitar parts on the studio version. However the release of the album came around the same time as Gary's first abrupt unexpected departure from the band so his name was dropped. In 1985 Gary and Phil re-recorded this song and i believe it was TL drummer Brian Downey on drums as well. This was a song TL always included in their live shows.
should check out the rare version - Phil on tin (lizzy) whistle...Brian on bodhran ...scott on Accordian and gary moore on flute and washboard .....with midge ure on trad irish dancing
I love this version a little more raspy with emotions coming through on this Life/Live album. I love the original version a little more upbeat tempo & I love the Live & Dangerous version, too. You’ll see online every one has a favorite version. 🌹🖤🌹🖤🌹
You should hear emerald , suicide , Hollywood, renegade , live I’m in love with you with Gary Moore , also with Gary Moore ? Oh forgot have to look it up Out in the fields
Gary Moore didn't rejoin until 1979 on the Black Rose album. In 1978 it was the Live and Dangerous album featuring Scott Gorham, Brian Robertson, Brian Downey and Phil Lynott
The essential version of this is the one from Live & Dangerous. Two of the .most perfect guitar solos. And Lynotts voice at its best. Here he's now a junkie basically and you can hear it in his voice. Gorham at this point also using heroin. And good as Sykes is he's no match for the Robertson/Gorham combo
It's not the best version, by the time john Sykes joined the band. Thin lizzy were not at their best. John was a pretty average guitarist. Please listen to Live and dangerous. Brian Robertson so much better. I was there and will always remember that concert, the energy was incredible.
The 70s version of Thin Lizzy was better when Phil Lynott was the band leader. They had hits with the The Boys Are Back in Town, Johnny The Foxn and Others.
If this is from Live and Dangerous the guitarists were Brian Robertson ( Scottish ), Scott Gorham ( American ). Phil Lynott bass and vocals ( Irish ) and Brian Downey on drums ( Irish ). The classic line up.
John Sykes on lead guitar here.
First solo - the extrapolated Gary Moore/Brian Robertson-solo - is Sykes, the second one towards the end is Gorham.
Phil Lynnot on vocals and bass.
Gary Moore on guitar in the original 73 studio version.

This is the 1983 live version. First solo John Sykes, second solo Scott Gorham
First solo John Sykes, second one Scott Gorham
This song was written by Phil Lynott as a message to his wife, who had filed for divorce. Listen to the words and it takes on a much deeper meaning.
This was written and recorded years before he even got married dude.
Eric Bell original guitarist when they were a three piece, then after he flaked out Lynott always had two gutarist in the band.

This track from the live and dangerous album will kill you twice

The best Thin Lizzy song 🎵. Just my opinion !
should check out the rare version - Phil on tin (lizzy) whistle...Brian on bodhran ...scott on Accordian

Should listen to The Sun Goes Down by them
I know this song, I love this song, seen them in concert 4 times
I never heard it so slow
react to the original live version, at correct speed
”Original live”? You mean Live & Dangerous? The original off of Nightlife was even faster. A soul song, essentially.
You should hear emerald , suicide , Hollywood, renegade , live I’m in love with you with Gary Moore , also with Gary Moore ? Oh forgot have to look it up Out in the fields
Phil lynotte, Brian Downey, Scott Gorham, Brian Robertson and sometimes Gary Moore. And Eric Bell on the first 3 albums. That is all that matters.
Sade does a cover of this that just amazes.
Hi John, i prefer the 'Live and Dangerous' album still in love with you... love it so much...
Great band saw them in 78 , I think Gary Moore was playing one of the leads , thanks again!
Gary Moore didn't rejoin until 1979 on the Black Rose album. In 1978 it was the Live and Dangerous album featuring Scott Gorham, Brian Robertson, Brian Downey and Phil Lynott
When a band can go from this, to The Rocker....

Poor recording quality. If you want to hear Thin Lizzy as they should be, them listen to the version on their album Live And Dangerous.
Sorry but the Original Version from the 1978 Album „Live and dangerous“ is far better as this one!!
Sorry but that was not the original version man.
That was in 1974 with Gary Moore on guitar before either Brian Robertson or Scott Gorham were hired.
It's not the best version, by the time john Sykes joined the band. Thin lizzy were not at their best. John was a pretty average guitarist. Please listen to Live and dangerous. Brian Robertson so much better. I was there and will always remember that concert, the energy was incredible.
Any of the girls got any irish in them?
BRIAN Robertson and Scott Gorham
Robertson…..Brian Johnsson is singer from Ac/Dc 👍
But in this performance it's John Sykes (first solo) and Scott Gorham

Phil Lynott was always the band leader.
Unless you're including Gorhams new version of Thin Lizzy which don't really count.
Gary Moore version is better
If this is from Live and Dangerous the guitarists were Brian Robertson ( Scottish ), Scott Gorham ( American ). Phil Lynott bass and vocals ( Irish ) and Brian Downey on drums ( Irish ). The classic line up.
It isn't.
That one would be my preference too, better guitarist to my mind.
