Brian Downey and Ian Paice two of my favorites and both are so underappreciated and not respected for their mark on Rock and Roll and some of the most recognized songs in history!!!
thank for the compliment, yes that me as the air drummer in the front row , after 42 years as big a fan as ever and proud to say I am still giging , just going to see "Girl Band" ( from Dublin this Friday) I may be old but I've seen all the best bands :-)
Dave Glass its folk like you who are SOo appreciative of great music it warms my heart to watch you enjoying the gig I used to play this EVERY monday as resident band at a local pub and it was fabulous to perform this song Best wishes my friend
This is the original lineup. Phil left his mark but left this world way too soon. Downey to me, is the metronome of rock, the dual gtrs of Robertson and Gorham are just epic. My inspiration, my mentors. Loved these guys back then, still do. R.I.P. Phil.
@@markhunter8554 I stand corrected, I forgot about Eric Bell being part of the original. You're right again in referring to the "classic" lineup. Thanks🤘
One of the best Rock band ever from Ireland ... made me think about the Irish musician...Rory Gallagher...Vivian Campbell...Gary Moore...RIP...RORY...GARY...PHIL....Miss you all...4ever I'm growing up with them never forget these days...
Saw them on the "fighting" tour in 75 when they were still playing the smaller intimate venues (Sheffield Crucible theatre) same show as this mask & fake collapse. incredible night Robertson and Gorham at their peak. oh to be 17 again.
Best me!odic rock band of all time !! Killer guitar players,,,total rock star front man,,,the amazing Brian Downey on drums and brilliant songs !!LIZZY !!!
As young kid many years ago and an aspiring drummer, Brian Downey never ceased to amaze me. Sure I loved Bonzo and Peart and I still do. But Lizzy's music and Downey's drumming just spoke a tad bit louder to me. So solid and powerful yet fluid and relaxed. And those shuffles. I never heard another rock drummer ( and for that matter another rock band ) with such a sense of swing. That was the thing about Lizzy, they could play in many different styles and still make it ROCK. It's that kind of variety from song to song that is missing in much of today's rock.
100% - one of the many elements of Lizzy that people rarely mention is Brian's shuffles - they were completely unique in this respect - even some of their biggest most rocking tunes were shuffles - Boys are Back in Town and Don't Believe a Word to pick two - Lizzy are my fave hard rock band bar none.
My all time favorite band in the world...Thank you Thin Lizzy for being in my life....Now 56, and there music is so classic, endless, and will always be heard on the airwaves....Forever.
I have to say....Scott Gorham plays an EXCELLENT Rhythm for Brians AWESOME solo on 'Still in Love With You"....it is just beautiful....just a GREAT piece of music....the whole thing.
I thought Scott Gorham was so cool back then, I was 15 and wanted my hair to be just like his, I nearly got there too, but had to cut it off for my first job interview - I'm bald now. This video transported me back 40 years. Thanks for posting.
Same here. I actually got mine to be that long. Got a picture somewhere of me holding a Les Paul. But alas, I too am basically bald. Unlike Scott , who still has a great head of hair. Lucky bastard !!
Here's to Brian Downey, one of the most underrated drummers in the world. And here's also to the air drummer in the front row (2:53), who obviously knows a good thing when he sees it.
2uyhgf5 don't think she was that impressed ( it a long story as to how we got the front row seats ) some one did not want to be seen on TV with cameras on the stage, and I unbeknown I got my 15 minutes of fame
My brother saw them numerous times starting in 1976 in Chicago. Saw them in January 1977 at Chicago Stadium opening for Queen with Gary Moore substituting for an injured Robertson.
What a front man Phil was, and a great band. Saw them twice in the mid to late seventies, Bradford St George's Hall. Awesome concerts. Still with me today. RIP Phil. Gone too soon.
My favourite band of all time. The James Brown parody made me burst out laughing. Rest easy Phil, as long as I'm alive you and your music will always be in my heart. 💚💚💚
Everytime I see this forty nine years melt away ..and I'm there with my mates to that night clad in boiled faded Levi jackets jeans ...just pure magic ...best rock love song ever written ....
Thank you for sharing this footage. I remember seeing them playing at Imperial College (!) in London c1975, they were touring after releasing Nightlife. what an impact that gig made. A fan ever since. A brilliant live band, so sadly missed.
Thank you for uploading this. I can't put into words what it actually means to me. I first saw Lizzy as a three piece with Eric Bell in 1973. ….Then they went to Croydon! ...The Fox and Greyhound to be exact. This was a small venue which could cram in maybe 500 people or so and the stage was in the right hand corner. One Sunday night in '74 the 'new' Thin Lizzy with brian Robertson and Scott Gorham were playing the 'Greyhound'. Myself and 3 mates had to go see if they were any better (or different) to the Thin Lizzy we already knew. My GOD were they different, and better and LOUDER! The second gig at the Greyound in '74 was just after 'Nightlife' had been released. I cannot stress enough just how loud they really were. I've seen Deep Purple, The Who, Led Zep, loads of other bands but nothing matched the volume of Lizzy in those '70s days. It was actaully scary when a guitar solo came up,....it was terrifyingly painful not just in your ears and head but your whole body rattled with the soundwaves hitting it. But, then again I have to admit there were maybe 300 people there and we were at the front.....Less than 3 feet from the band..... Crazy volume but it was worth being deaf for a few days afterwards. Went out the day after and bought 'Nightlife', & couldn't wait to play it. But while the music was good there was no power or oomph on the record it sounded terribly lame. And this I found the same with pretty much all of their studio albums. It's a crying shame but they never ever captured the raw power of Lizzy live with the great harmonised guitar-lines of Gorham and Robertson. I'd better stop now but it would be great to hear from anyone who went to any of those gigs at the Greyound in Croydon.
Unreal, love when Phil comes out as werewolf. They clearly blew the roof off, dressed to the nines and loud as anything else, audience are shook after it all. You can see a young one sitting still up front haha unreal.
I never listened to much Thin Lizzy besides the couple of radio hits. I like Rush, Yes, Motorhead etc. I was most impressed by Brian Downey here, especially that first drum solo he took. It was so smooth and he kept that groove going no matter whatever crazy swirling oscillating fills he played. Wow. that was one of the most enjoyable drum solos to listen to ever. He's on the level with Peart, Bruford, Moon, or any of the great prog or metal drummers.
"C'mon baby, lose controoooooooool. I want your body - not your soul. C'mon baby, check out my jelly roll" Classic Phil. R.I.P my Rock and Roll soldier.
Ooooooh my God Phil Lynott ,,, how i love him and i always remember him and he died in 1985 cause for drugs 😢 and i don't know what happened in his band , and he have album his name is life and dangerous 1978 is soooo beautiful and i see his this album in 1985 by video cassette 😢😢😢😢
Yeah!! KSAN from SF one night, spring '75, Fighting. All in ! Bought the album days later. Even covered The Cowboy Song in a band. Never got to see the classic lineup live. Thanx for this !!
If you want to hear Brian Downey & Gary Moore both blazing @ light speed check out What would you rather Bee Wasp, Hurricane and Flight of the Snow Moose on Moores 1978 LP Back on the Streets, you won't regret it!
Легко , професійно , впізнаваємо з перших акордів! Епоха Thin Lizzy , Uriah Heep, Nazareth. Чудові були часи , молодість , навіть пиво було смачніше і джинси Wrangler були якісніше.😊
The boys are smokin hot on sha la la, everyone is right into it. This is a great live recordings. The mid range sounding Hiwatt+Marshall+LPs combos are really punching through the mix. I think this recording is better than the Nightlife and Live & Dangerous recordings. This is pure hard rock at its best.
Thanks for sharing this footage. Lizzy proved pure musicianship and talent. Phil's vocals, bass playing and lyrics in on another level and always was. So many great guitarists passed through this band and Brian Downey on drums has always been underrated and under appreciated. This band truly deserves to be in the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame and it's a shame that they aren't there yet. Many bands took Thin Lizzy as inspiration and still do (The Darkness).
3 yrs before live and dangerous and they were really tight even then. Both playing les paul deluxes. Robbo in his platforms! And hearing his voice on some BV.
The original and the best. First band I saw live aged 14 in 1977. Often copied never bettered. Still pissed at Phil for going too soon. Yes I know LIzzy were over and the Grand slam thing etc, but who knows what he could have done next !
Peter Bonehill I Was 15 yrs old when i saw Lizzy in Cardiff Wales 1977 Bad Reputation tour i believe they were in their prime then. Like you im pissed off Phil went way too soon but then i listen to some of the old stuff off say Thin Lizzy or Johnny the Fox, Fighting and it brings me back, and im greatfull for the legacy that remains to this day. Once a Lizzy fan always a lizzy fan.
I was 15 when i saw them live in Karlsruhe/Germany. Still remember that great concert. This was the lineup at the Open Air 1977 there : Santana, Chicago, Udo Lindenberg, Rory Gallagher, Thin Lizzy, Lake . Was a totally great time!
I'm just banging my head to that amazing rock drum solo, and waiting for the smooth Phil Lynott vocals to come on, and then he's singing a song dedicated to Philomena? I'm sobbing.
Brian Downey and Ian Paice two of my favorites and both are so underappreciated and not respected for their mark on Rock and Roll and some of the most recognized songs in history!!!
One of the greatest rock bands ever and this was their best lineup!
YES!
thank for the compliment, yes that me as the air drummer in the front row , after 42 years as big a fan as ever and proud to say I am still giging , just going to see "Girl Band" ( from Dublin this Friday) I may be old but I've seen all the best bands :-)
David Glass Watching the classic line-up you lucky SOB! CHEERS!
David Glass Would have loved to have seen you at a Led Zeppelin concert.
Slainte David !
your a star david!...what a lucky bugger seeing this lineup, and i'm intrigued to know if that lady next to you was enjoying the music?...😄👏🏻🎸
Dave Glass its folk like you who are SOo appreciative of great music it warms my heart to watch you enjoying the gig I used to play this EVERY monday as resident band at a local pub and it was fabulous to perform this song Best wishes my friend
Les Paul, deluxe mini humbuckers, killer killer stuff,I love it so.
That dude was an amazing singer, what a beautiful natural voice.
Brian Robertson is only about 18 years old here... a real natural and tasteful guitar player who so much reminds me of Paul Kossoff from Free.
I forgot how young he was at this time too. Very talented and tasteful guitar playing.
Amazing
That sound!
Two Deluxe Les Paul's🎸🎸🎶🎤🥁🌴💚🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀💚🌴🥃💪🤳😎
Yes he was born in 1956. So in 1976 he's 20. I mean it's just incredible. I love his playing SO much, and he's not flashy. Just all substance
This is the original lineup. Phil left his mark but left this world way too soon. Downey to me, is the metronome of rock, the dual gtrs of Robertson and Gorham are just epic. My inspiration, my mentors. Loved these guys back then, still do. R.I.P. Phil.
Actually, the original line up was Lynott, Downey & Eric Bell. But the Lynott, Downey, Gorham & Robertson was the classic line up.
@@markhunter8554 I stand corrected, I forgot about Eric Bell being part of the original. You're right again in referring to the "classic" lineup. Thanks🤘
The original 4 piece lineup...
Bell Downey Lynott was the original. When Bell quit mid concert Phill swore he would never NOT have 2 guitarists.
One of the best Rock band ever from Ireland ... made me think about the Irish musician...Rory Gallagher...Vivian Campbell...Gary Moore...RIP...RORY...GARY...PHIL....Miss you all...4ever I'm growing up with them never forget these days...
No Vivian Campbell
Saw them on the "fighting" tour in 75 when they were still playing the smaller intimate venues (Sheffield Crucible theatre) same show as this mask & fake collapse. incredible night Robertson and Gorham at their peak. oh to be 17 again.
Phil must have been influenced by Peter Gabriel to attempt this mask/collapse bit. He got ideas from all sorts of places
STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU - ONE OF THE ALL TIME GREATEST SONGS EVER .....
I WAS HOOKED IN 77'..........NEVER LEFT
YESSSS
fart813 one of the BEST songs ever written
Best me!odic rock band of all time !! Killer guitar players,,,total rock star front man,,,the amazing Brian Downey on drums and brilliant songs !!LIZZY !!!

Totally agree!...brian's tribal rhythms always give me chills and make me turn up the volume to 11! 👏🏻🌟🎼
Bravox2😁

Loud, Raw and absolutely brilliant.
When you think of how sanitised rock music is now, we had it good in the seventies.
My all time favorite band in the world...Thank you Thin Lizzy for being in my life....Now 56, and there music is so classic, endless, and will always be heard on the airwaves....Forever.
I m 73. With them since 1973
THIN LIZZY makin my IRISH eyes smile God bless my favorite band of all time !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aye rip philomena
I am Polish and I do love them no less then you from 1973 till now . ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Love for ever .
I have to say....Scott Gorham plays an EXCELLENT Rhythm for Brians AWESOME solo on 'Still in Love With You"....it is just beautiful....just a GREAT piece of music....the whole thing.
Great lead player to!
@@paulbuxton1326 hes ok.
They really worked off each other well. Scott could hardly keep up with Gary
Brain Downey is one of the greatest rock drummer I've ever known. Love you mate
I thought Scott Gorham was so cool back then, I was 15 and wanted my hair to be just like his, I nearly got there too, but had to cut it off for my first job interview - I'm bald now. This video transported me back 40 years. Thanks for posting.
I wanted hair like that too, but it was more like Phil's. Now it's mostly gone.
Same here. I actually got mine to be that long. Got a picture somewhere of me holding a Les Paul. But alas, I too am basically bald. Unlike Scott , who still has a great head of hair. Lucky bastard !!
Ditto
Bloody fantastic. Say what you like. That was the best line up of the band .that .was thin.lizzy
Man I hadn't fully appreciated what a killer track Sha-La-La is
Come on baby, take a my jelly roll
Absolutely brutal! Raw as fuck
Here's to Brian Downey, one of the most underrated drummers in the world.
And here's also to the air drummer in the front row (2:53), who obviously knows a good thing when he sees it.
42 years later still in love wth,,, them and still Giging and finding new great Irish bands
2uyhgf5 don't think she was that impressed ( it a long story as to how we got the front row seats ) some one did not want to be seen on TV with cameras on the stage, and I unbeknown I got my 15 minutes of fame
Ha! That was you? Awesome! I never did get to see them live.
???? Any clues as to where/when we met ?
+2uyhgf5 ???? Any clues as to where/when we met ?
Still in love with you...rest well philomena lynott thank you for sharing your amazing son with us send phil our love and our love goes with you
Saw a lot of bands over the years, but my biggest regret is never seeing Lizzy. One of the coolest bands ever.
At the top of their game and how underrated is Scott Gorman. Someone please invent a time machine so I can go back & see this concert.
So underrated that you don't know his name. ;-)
I do. Very very regularly. Burnt in my head. RIP. PHILIP AND GARY.😢
I've got a TIME MACHINE, but the fookin police have put wheel clamp on it!
@@RICHARD.WRIGHT1bastards!
Was at this concert unforgettable...
Still In Love With You. Wow! Just wow!! The soloing on this must make anyone who doesnt play guitar want to. And anyone who does play guitar give up!
This is the best Thin Lizzy lineup. RIP Phil.
One of the most amazing bands of all time...
Ahhhh when bands looked like bands & sounded better than anything out now. Loved this version of Litzy!
Downey stays in the groove for the entire drum solo....keeps it rocking never letting up....
My brother saw them numerous times starting in 1976 in Chicago. Saw them in January 1977 at Chicago Stadium opening for Queen with Gary Moore substituting for an injured Robertson.
A very clear recording, very unusual for a live concert. What a band and great songs.
What a front man Phil was, and a great band. Saw them twice in the mid to late seventies, Bradford St George's Hall. Awesome concerts. Still with me today. RIP Phil. Gone too soon.
Still in love with you .... still an absolute classic ... exceptional
Still in love with you still ranks of the greatest ballads I ever heard. The Robertosn solo sends chills down my spine still.
The most underrated rock ballad ever.
My favourite band of all time.
The James Brown parody made me burst out laughing.
Rest easy Phil, as long as I'm alive you and your music will always be in my heart.
💚💚💚
Everytime I see this forty nine years melt away ..and I'm there with my mates to that night clad in boiled faded Levi jackets jeans ...just pure magic ...best rock love song ever written ....
Alive and Dangerous one of,if not the, best live album ever!!!!
What a ridiculously clean recording.
Brilliant. For a couple of years in the 70s they were the best band in the world.
A couple years? Mate they still are don’t even lie
For all guitar shredders out there who think solos are all about millions of meaningless notes our second, take a tip from Brian Robertson here.
Yes!!!
Spot on.
Saw them may 1975 Hammersmith Apollo.
Best Line up of the Greatest Rock Band!!!!!!!!
I Love watching a Lead Guitar solo where the artist doesn't ever look down at what their hands are doing.
Downey has to hav been one of the best drummers on this planet unbelievable truly is
Long live rock and roll, thanks Thin Lizzie for making their great music!
The spirit of Phillip Lynott lives on in his music.
Phil’s mom was in attendance too.
Totally Criminally Underrated ⚡ 🔥 👊 💪 😎 🤘
Add Schenker Era UFO to the list as well!
This is just what I need to get me through another C19 Friday. Cheers! 🍺☘️🎸
Just put some whisky in the jaro and play it again Mate 🎧 🍻
wicked drumming!!! awesome drummer. love it. a+
Did you see the guy in the audience, playing air drums, going nuts during the drum solo? lol
Awesome Thin lizzy rules over and out...
Super HOT Lizzy with these two great great guitarists
one of the best rock concerts ever . period
I was lucky enough to have seen them 3 times this brings back great memories nothing compares o lizzy and Philo
Yep, saw them 76 , still my fave 🎶
Phil and Thin Lizzy - geniuses ! 🤘😘
Always enjoyed powerful drumming of Thin Lizz....mr Downey!!

1975? Wow~ unbelievable sounds
Brian Downey...awesome! Highly underrated drummer!
"Sha-la-la" sounds so heavy and raw on this show
Quite possibly my favorite band...
Thank you ! Thin Lizzy! To make my first band make there dreams come true! Edwin Bruynooge Music Management and Productions!
Damn this is GREAT !!!!
I went to my first concert in Oct of 76' and the bands from the 70's were the greatest PERIOD !!!!
Awesome. Brian Robertson's tone - wow.

Thin Lizzy The baddest line-up
If Phil only knew he'd have eleven years left to live, such a great loss
"C'mon baby, lose controoooooooool. I want your body - not your soul. C'mon baby, check out my jelly roll" Classic Phil. R.I.P my Rock and Roll soldier.
Ooooooh my God Phil Lynott ,,, how i love him and i always remember him and he died in 1985 cause for drugs 😢 and i don't know what happened in his band , and he have album his name is life and dangerous 1978 is soooo beautiful and i see his this album in 1985 by video cassette 😢😢😢😢
A very special band,pure magic, always fun to hear.
This is the only lizzy that counts as far as I’m concerned ... Lynott ,Downey and the dynamic duo !
Wow, essential for my morning commute. Perfect for weaving in and out of traffic.
That's how you do it ladies and gentlemen......
probably one of the best live sets I have ever seen!! Thanks, just no words to describe how wonderful this is!!
Yeah!! KSAN from SF one night, spring '75, Fighting. All in ! Bought the album days later. Even covered The Cowboy Song in a band.
Never got to see the classic lineup live.
Thanx for this !!
Lol we all wore the big platform shoes back then...dope

The boys are smokin hot on sha la la, everyone is right into it. This is a great live recordings. The mid range sounding Hiwatt+Marshall+LPs combos are really punching through the mix. I think this recording is better than the Nightlife and Live & Dangerous recordings. This is pure hard rock at its best.
Did Robbo use the HiWatt amp back then?
@@Renhjarta The Hiwatt was part of Phil's gear, Brian's Marshall is off stage to the left as you look at it.
Only sadness. My fave band evah. Since 1973. I love (d) Phil 2 bits. Robbo s super fab. Scott s awesome. Brian : UR Beat cant be beat-en !
Thanks for sharing this footage. Lizzy proved pure musicianship and talent. Phil's vocals, bass playing and lyrics in on another level and always was.

What a sad loss for Ireland and the world great line up brilliant live band 👏
great band at their best
thanks for the share
Thanks for the upload that I have never seen before. Amazing live band who I had the privilege of seeing a few times in the 70’s 😃 Rock on Phil 🎸
Classic lineup hitting their stride, on the near cusp of greatness
3 yrs before live and dangerous and they were really tight even then. Both playing les paul deluxes. Robbo in his platforms! And hearing his voice on some BV.
It concerts like this that will be treasures for ever! Hope robot/Brian are doing well
How far could they have gone if they just stayed away from the drugs ? Great song writing and playing snuffed out.
Awesome!!! Timeless! xoxo
Where have l seen this great drummer before? 😊
The original and the best. First band I saw live aged 14 in 1977. Often copied never bettered. Still pissed at Phil for going too soon. Yes I know LIzzy were over and the Grand slam thing etc, but who knows what he could have done next !

Robbo coulda been so much......His own worst enemy!!
He sounds so much like Gary Moore it's no wonder Gary played with Phil.....
i have always liked thin lizzy band since 70's, awsome band, and rush, and others. rock !!!
I'm just banging my head to that amazing rock drum solo, and waiting for the smooth Phil Lynott vocals to come on, and then he's singing a song dedicated to Philomena? I'm sobbing.
A melhor fase do Lizzy. Obrigado por compartilhar. Dica: Rock Community.
downey was so underrated ,,,a great drummer,,,,,
See kids, this how we did it back in the day. Amps cut up to 10, p.a.and no monitors. It was loud, but it was right.
I put a thumb up on this cause it opens with one of my fav. lizzy tunes SHALAALAA!!!P.S.I GIVE pt. 1 thumbs up 2
