God bless Phil Lynott. He took a mostly forgotten 19th C drinking song and turned it into a rock classic. God bless Eric Bell a mostly forgotten brilliant guitar soloist. Phil Lynott was the most quintessential Dubliner of his generation, revealed in his accent and his forthright attitude. His mantle has yet to be picked up. (yew tew are mere manakins by comparison)
Didn't matter too much which guitarist was chosen to replace Eric Bell, none of them wanted to play Whiskey in the Jar. And I don't blame them, Eric was an absolute genius of a player.
Looks like they're both playing through H&H amps. There's what looks like a Sound City half stack behind Phil, but that's probably a bass amp. His guitar is clearly plugged into the combo to the left of that. Probably not theirs though, usually the backline gear was provided by the TV studio.
Unsure about the amps, but it looks like Phil is playing a Gibson SG II, which is pretty rare- only made for one year-ish. Don't see too many pros playing them as Gibson cut the quality to be cost-competitive with the cheap Japanese imports of the time, but the thin necks had great action and the mini-humbuckers had killer tone!
Love it, they had it & didn't get their well deserved notoriety for their Talent! They should be inducted into The " Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame"! 💖 😨 One Awesome Band! 🥰💯💖✌️👁️⭐
RR HOF doesn't deserve Thin Lizzy. They prefer Beyonce and Dolly. It should be called The Country Hip Hop Hall of Fame... It is a joke and the everyday average people see right through their hypocrisy. Don't waste your time voting. They handpick who they want. Your vote means nothing. (Like 2020)
This is great! Phil's slamming the hell out of that guitar, pretty much playing it as though it's a bass. The tone's wound all the way back...and I think I can hear a dropped bottom E string comping for the missing bass. They were an incredible band. Totally unique!
The vocals lag behind the guitar. But consistently, so obviously intended. Phil does this in other songs too. It gives the song a laid back kind of feeling. I played in a german irish-folk band and whenever I tried anything unorthodox like this or speeding up and slowing down, which you hear alot in irish folk, they came down on me like a ton of bricks.
I thought exactly the same thing - some people just don't know when they're in the presence of greatness . the kids applauded respectfully - silly nuts goes down in history looking at his watch .....
I think it's just on this song he switches from bass to rhythm. Same as the studio version which apparently was done in one take according to the producer. Cheers
There's a video of him on UA-cam doing "the man"s a fool" on some tv show . He's on guitar , some other cool fucker is playing bass . Not Thin Lizzy . But it's great all the same .
@@fintanoclery2698 And Switches Back again on this Version The Plot Thickens !!! ua-cam.com/video/ETcbH0V6Miw/v-deo.html Sure looks like a Bass on this version.
this is the best version of this song. that other shite of a band that is MentallicA are a bunch of has been's and hacks. the one and only TL can only do justice to this song. Long Live Thin Lizzy. The BEST Dublin, Eire, Crumblin, Irish band ever. Ireland Forever ! oh and Scotland too.
That's, erm, that's how they did this song… if you listen to recent clips of Mr. Bell doing it, you'll hear that pause has become much more pronounced. Why? That's his arrangement, so he must like to do it that way…
Check out the one from October the 30th, 1980. A London show, the crowd singing along and going wild, the core three from this show reuniting to form a five together with Mssrs. Scott Gorham and Snowy White. No video though… still, it's interesting to compare the two. This take has fire and guts while that one has power and majesty.

Listening to it 50 years later. It's still brilliant
same here - just learnt to play it on my acoustic - out of respect .
I am 71 young and hear it loud, cheers from Germany 😀😀🎉🍷🍀
Brilliant. Never seen footage of Thin Lizzy doing this song live, and thankfully it's the full length version with that wonderful guitar solo.
Wow…. How good is Eric Bell…. Love this guitar solo !!!
For me, the best of Lizzy's guitarists…
@@Kowasiwell said
Legendary guitar solo!!!!!! 💃✊
One of the best guitar solos ever...
Seeing Phil playing a guitar (and not a bass) and singing for the first time..
Probably the best live version I've seen.
The Musikladen version is great also. They're all great
Metallica does excellent version too
Phil Lynott touched hearts with his poetry and his delivery. This song moves me as an Irish American.
His Voice is so good here.
God bless Phil Lynott. He took a mostly forgotten 19th C drinking song and turned it into a rock classic. God bless Eric Bell a mostly forgotten brilliant guitar soloist.

outstanding vocals live .. guitar solo was magical!!

He sure was an absolute genius of a player I like this song Whiskey in the Jar 🤍❤💙💚🤎🧡💛💜💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕🌼🌸🌹🌹🌹🌹🌷🌷🌷🌷🍀💐🕊🙏😇
the best whiskey in the jar! best lizzy lineup!
Eric Bell was amazing on guitar!! I love this footage. They sound great!!
Like Phil once said"Eric is the only one who can play whiskey properly"and what a great sound he had here what kind of amps anyone?
Looks like they're both playing through H&H amps. There's what looks like a Sound City half stack behind Phil, but that's probably a bass amp. His guitar is clearly plugged into the combo to the left of that. Probably not theirs though, usually the backline gear was provided by the TV studio.
@@weswemyssonbass Saw them around this time '73 the Sound City was Erics.
@@weswemyssonbass Phil is going thru an Acoustic 360, with a 2x15" Cab. looks like he plugged that Gibson SG into it and away he went.
Unsure about the amps, but it looks like Phil is playing a Gibson SG II, which is pretty rare- only made for one year-ish. Don't see too many pros playing them as Gibson cut the quality to be cost-competitive with the cheap Japanese imports of the time, but the thin necks had great action and the mini-humbuckers had killer tone!

My favourite performance of this classic. Great band.
Back in the day when real MUSICIANS played their instruments and
sang their songs without all that electronic gadgets to make them
sound too perfect!!
The world 🌍 needs real music again - and more than ever!
Love it, they had it & didn't get their well deserved notoriety for their Talent! They should be inducted into The " Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame"! 💖 😨 One Awesome Band! 🥰💯💖✌️👁️⭐
Thin Lizzy don't need no Hall of Fame…
The fact they aren’t in it shows it’s a total sham.
RR HOF doesn't deserve Thin Lizzy.
They prefer Beyonce and Dolly.
It should be called The Country Hip Hop Hall of Fame...
It is a joke and the everyday average people see right through their hypocrisy.
Don't waste your time voting.
They handpick who they want.
Your vote means nothing.
(Like 2020)
I agree you speak truths
That Hall of Fame is a joke. And Thin Lizzy not being in it is yet more proof of that.
This is great! Phil's slamming the hell out of that guitar, pretty much playing it as though it's a bass. The tone's wound all the way back...and I think I can hear a dropped bottom E string comping for the missing bass. They were an incredible band. Totally unique!
Ja super für 1973 ❤habe dieses lied damals schon geliebt und jetzt mit metallica einfach nur super ❤❤❤❤❤
I love that song so much, but only in the version of "THIN LIZZY" !! NO doubt !!!!
They were a force of nature as a live band, amazing drive and energy! Amazing guitar play by Eric Bell! Wow and what a sexy beast Phil Lynott was ;-).
god bless eric bell what a brillant guitar player
Just great vocals! Great band live! Clean and pure music!
Phil's vocals are the best on the original and Eric bell guitar playing is awesome this is the best version
Eric Bell is an awesome guitarist.
What a rare gem,indeed! Thank you for posting it!
Such a Great Song and Legendary performances from the Originals.
AMAZING VERSION
One of the sublime-est versions of a sublime song, on the 3rd anniversary of Jimi Hendrix 's death. "Daddio!"
Very unusually for a rock band, there is no bass guitar on this song. Same with the studio version. Phil plays six string, not bass.
I was just wondering where the bass was. Thanks for clearing that up!
@@Tiger_takes_123 The Plot Thickens !!!

Sure looks like a Bass on this version.
Crunchy like Branston. Love it
Proper job
.. Loving it xx
Perfect!
Alan Kush Nothing like since
Nice to see Phil on the 6 string
melodia para ouvido maravilhoso
Did the karaoke of this song in August 2019.
Sang this in my shower on 20th of September 2020.
Just playing before going in for Sunday night shift as a security guard!!!
RIP Phil . Hope my brother Phil jams with you just behind the door 😢❤
My legend...😇
His vibrato is cool

Magnificent
My dad likes him I do too so great job r.I.p lol :-[
My 18th Birthday!
Congratulations!

When I saw at the beginning of the video they looked like it was a movie from that time and that thin lizzy was like any other rock group but local
Look at that company man checking the time at around 5.10...don't know how anyone could be complacent w. these electric talents.
I thought exactly the same thing -
some people just don't know when they're in the presence of greatness .
the kids applauded respectfully -
silly nuts goes down in history looking at his watch .....
A Typically Lively German Audience back then , Bless 'em lol.
simplemente un orgasmo orejal 👂 🎶
If would be nice if they remastered the audio and put it in a deluxe edition
How cool is that!
Sounded like mntn music....now I know its from the Wicklow Mnts!
Phil Lynott on rhythm guitar.
so many tunes man so many gone much to early
Just pure class 👌
ESSE E O SHOW MAIS ELETRICO E VIBRANTE DO THIN LIZZY
Greatest song ever ?😊
Whiskey in the har en av tidernas Poplåt.😁🤗😃😃
Pure music.
Wow grande Phil.
That was BAD FUCKIN ASS!!!
brilliant
Thin Lizzy siempre en el corazón unos máquinas
God bless him pore man so sad rock is the best :'( :-\
la version de metallica no tiene mistica.
was lucky enough to be friends with Erics current Bass player and play that Stratocaster class sound
The rhytm guitar was conected?
Didn’t realize Phil is played guitar. Thought he was a bass man.
I think it's just on this song he switches from bass to rhythm. Same as the studio version which apparently was done in one take according to the producer. Cheers
There's a video of him on UA-cam doing "the man"s a fool" on some tv show . He's on guitar , some other cool fucker is playing bass . Not Thin Lizzy . But it's great all the same .

First guitar solo I learned. Took ages. Shame the darn camereman doesn't show the guitarist much. Typical 🙄

Disagree azzwipe!
2 be 16 again..when our gen flickers... worst sin would be should Lizzy be 4gotten.
tilly ay tilly ay tilly aiya!
Una semana antes de esta presentación, en Chile se había producido un Golpe de Estado del General Pinochet contra el presidente Salvador Allende
No bass? Damn they sounds good
Who's on Bass?
There is no bass mate it was just 2 guitars and drums
Phil Lynott, the singer was the awesome bass player!!
Camshaft He plays bass like lead. Some bassists do that you know. 😉
@@scherryvalentine9673 Phil is playing a guitar in this video.
@@jamesedwards2237 He's playing a guitar in this video.
Vom Publikum ist fast nix zu sehen, aber auch hier irgendwie typisch für diese Zeit: In einem Wachsfigurenkabinett
ist mehr Bewegung.
classic
I've never seen Lynott on rhythm guitar, all the tone adjusted to max out bass and eliminate treble.
Great performance, but I am really missing Phil's bass.
Who's playin bass here?
am i the only one who thought about fiddlestick??
エリックのギターが、ちょいボリュームデカいな
xxx
Whiskey in the jar solo is comparable with hotel california and my sharona..
art for kids hub
Why does he sing almost every line a bit late??
That's, erm, that's how they did this song… if you listen to recent clips of Mr. Bell doing it, you'll hear that pause has become much more pronounced. Why? That's his arrangement, so he must like to do it that way…
@@Kowasi the thin lizzy studio version isn't like that at all..
Who the heck is playing bass here? It ain't Phil and there's 100% a bass in the mix
He’s playing bass rhythm guitar. You hear bass coming from the guitar
The Plot Thickens !!!

Top Tune
50 years ago .
Sooooo much has changed .
I wonder what those kids are upto now ?
Fair question.
Is there a better version of this song anywhere, let alone on youtube?
No
I just listend to Metalicas version which is great. But no one beats Eric Bell.
Check out the one from October the 30th, 1980. A London show, the crowd singing along and going wild, the core three from this show reuniting to form a five together with Mssrs. Scott Gorham and Snowy White. No video though… still, it's interesting to compare the two. This take has fire and guts while that one has power and majesty.
Good stuff
Not sure the Germans get it!
