You very lucky person, you just clicked on the the very best rocking band of all times, I know because I got to see them many times for over 8 years, I also got to see many other very great bands but Thin Lizzy & Rory Gallagher were the very best of all
@@mikeh4972 You just struck gold/oil/the worlds most prestigious emerald, you not have all full lifetime of listing to all of the Thin Lizzy music, reading the stories and wishing that you could have been to just 1 of their concert, you have the next best thing, their most brilliant music, you are going to have a great life
I'd say Thin Lizzy is probably the most underrated rock band ever. Considering Phil Lynott voice, band's melodies, unique instrumental arrangement, playing with distortion, harmonies, song writing etc. I think they deserve to be more recognized and their albums played more on radio stations.
I listened to Thin Lizzy a lot back in the 70s because they had a few really great songs - like this one. But their problem IMO was that the quality of songs was a bit uneven. Too many not so great songs, in other words.
Definitely deserve more recognition. They're why I like iron maiden too. The story telling, the harmonies, great bass player. There just isn't enough music like this today. There are some bands that are part of the nwothm movement that are doing this.
Met Phil back in 78, I was a teenager heading up the hill of Howth one day and Phil was on his way down, passing the Asgard. I knew who he was, and he gave me a big smile. I remember thinking how cool he was. Saw him in concert twice, will never forget, and passed him early one Sunday morning going over the halfpenny bridge in 81. I was deeply saddened when he passed. He was a hard core Irish man. Always made it known too. Irish Mother, Nigerian farther (who he never knew) born and raised in Crumlin, Dublin. Come to think of it, a hard core Dubliner too!
Well, in that case, you had better tell Philomena, she said Nigerian, but he wasn't around for long, in any case, Phil rightly was a staunch Irishman, knew the history and embraced the culture, and rightly considered himself so, despite spending a lot of time in UK too. @@patrickthomas4680
Well, as I have said on some other threads.. Phil only had the best Axe slingers either side of him, going back to Eric Bell, Gary Moore, Brian "Robertson, Sykes, and even Snowy White later on... All Lead guitarists but they became "Twin guitarists"" because basically, Phil played Bass and guitar on the same instrument.... He never started out as a bassist, just one less guy to pay on the road.... Also, He will take your wife, girlfriend and sister and nothing you can do about it because he is him and you are not.... Phil is total Rock star, front man !!
Brian Robertson, Scotland's finest guitar player. Seen him playing with Frankie Miller in Hattonrig Hotel Bellshill, Absolutely blown away with his sound , and technique.. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
A wild man on the Whisky ( Scotch ) but his twin guitar playing with Graham Scot is the stuff of legend and influenced a generation to follow. Total respect for all these rock legends.
I met Phil Lynott and Brian Robertson at the bar in the students union at Glasgow University in 1975 before a Thin Lizzy gig. Both were very gracious and polite people. The gig was just amazing. I’ll never forget it.
Alright boys, we'd like a perfect rock song with some meaningful words and a great guitar solo and...er....by the way you have to fit it all in in 2 mins and 20 secs - fecking brilliant!
Agreed. The master of the 30 second guitar solo. One of the things that made Thin Lizzy rise when other hard rock bands were falling from favour was that they didn't drag songs out longer than they needed to be. Part of the reason they were able to do that was Brian being able to put more into 30 seconds or less than most guitarists put into a 3 minute solo.
Makes me laugh when people say Iron Maiden owe so much to lizzy. Lizzy were leagues ahead of them. They had a charismatic frontal in Phil. Maiden had Er, Bruce Dickinson. Lizzy had Robbo and Scott firing on all 6. Maiden had er can't even remember their names. Lizzy had the wonderfully erratic Brian Downey on drums. Iron Maiden didn't. Maiden had some dodgy looking skeleton thing having a bad hair day as a stage prop. Lizzy didn't need one. Their music spoke for them. Maiden had songs like Run To The Hills as fans favourites. Lizzy had Warriors and Emerald.......Need I go on?
This song plays on my local radio all the time for years (I listen in the car obviously, like 30 minutes a day, and still hear it a lot). They also had a period of playing Budgie's "Time to remember" super often, but it disappeared like 3 years ago. A pity, incredible song, maybe not great for morning radio though :D
@@hardlines2635 queens hall in Leeds? Mamas boys supporting?. Can't remember if it were 82 or 83.I were at that .as for prince, id have put phil lynott as well in front as a frontman to him any day.
Back in 1975 when they released the album Johnny The Fox, I was 18 & used to listen to DJ Kid Jensen on the radio 📻 on Saturday mornings. One morning he played every track from this, saying: "They're what rock music is all about!" That day I went & bought the album.

All genres included which opened my mind that was focused on hard n heavy rock...now i know how they progressed and built up their unique repetoire based on a fusion of branches of blues pop rock culminating with hard rock and heavy metal. That's their greatness and uniqness.
@@toredurgali8374 I dont doubt that but look where they got the inspiration for this style. You can find this kind of music was done before alot. It might not be your taste but thats my whole point. They made it unique because they mixed all their musical rootes without copying.
@@TheHumbuckerboy Totally agree! Always had a pleasure listening to his lyrics and not just the voice, harmony, etc. Cant say the same thing about many other bands.
Saw them in Malvern in 1975 or 76 . Brilliant Concert , fabulous band . Will never forget it . Such a tragedy that this talented Phil man had to go the way so many other talented people have gone. . I guess he must have been hurting somehow . But Thin Lizzy was my favourite group all those years ago . Eric Bell on guitar on the earlier stuff. The Rocker . What a solo . And then Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson . Two brilliant guitarists and the world famous Gary Moore. A better line up you just couldn“t dream up !
My favourite band as a young living in Malvern but I missed them. First gig there was be bop deluxe aged 14 Jan 1977. I later edited the local rag but that's another story.
In my top three band of all time, used to listen to this in the early 80's with my dad in the car when waiting for my mum to finish work. Too much to go into here but lyrics, phrasing, delivery, solos, stage presence and voice unreal. Today's music has nothing on them and this generation!
There used to be a comment on a UA-cam video of this song - perhaps this one - something like 'This solo will steal your car, fuck your sister and burn your house down', and that is indeed how I feel about it!
I believed every word that Phil Lynott wrote, sang and spoke, I listen to the poet, the storyteller, the adviser and the historian and the rocker that Phil was. I listen to, sing along to and through some Rockin shapes and dance to the most brilliant music of Thin Lizzy and have done since I was a little boy and will do until my last day on Gods green earth even if live for 500 years more
Hey Lorraine, even I had a crush on Scott Gorham and I am a straight bloke! 😂 But to be honest I loved more or less every musician in the 70's, it was an amazing era
the days they came back on the scene with the boys are back in town were just fabulous , the music , the weather , the football, the 70's were unbeatable
Don't you mean the version that appears on Gary Moore's first album 'Back on the Streets' ? The original 'Renegade ' album doesn't feature this song . Is it included as a bonus track on a re-issue ?
Haven't listened to lizzy in a fair old time .keriste! Why not ? This was out when I was finishing school and it still sounds effn great ! One of the best rock bands ever.
Im very VERY nearly 60 and this lot were a huge part of my life (the discovery part) shall we say...😋 Phil, scott & both brian's were the mega line up for me... just fantastic! Just fan'bloody'tastic... For me it all came crashing down when Brian R. Had to go😑... and then down the pipes it all went, snowy white, gary moore and onwards towards the 'thunder & lighting' album and then the end of the man himself... many moons after i dragged my arse to see blackstar riders (lizzy) with scott & brian D.... wish i hadn't... RIP lizzy.
I grew up near where Phil was from he suffered hard but turned his life into incredible music died way too young he’s up there with Wilde, Beckett, Joyce
Brian Robbo Robertson- a gifted genius - pure rock star- his solo's took the songs to another level! My personal favourites: Rosalie, Don't believe a word, Killer without a cause, Opium trail...
One of the most classic Rock guitar solos ever and all done whilst playing it with a lit cigarette LOL. Oh how times have changed and sadly not for the better :-(
reember them on totp and robertson was hammered[legend has it they had a 36 hour binge after playing hammersmith then lizzys management got the nod for totp....
I saw Phil and thin Lizzy back in the day and miss them so much.. I keep coming back to this song and particularly Brian's guitar solo.. Don't believe a Word..Not a single word...Hey Don'tcha!!!!!!
I'm 13 and my mum has a cd collection that she uses in the car. When she first played dancing in the moonlight I was in love with the song. I loved it so much I played it in a pub where my crush works and I was so happy to see him dancing this weekend when I see him ill play this on the jukebox until he notices me I LOVE THIN LIZZY
Now I'm here cos 1) I've been bought up on Thin Lizzy my dear Dad is a huge fan, he's even held Phil's Bass way back and he has his own too and 2) this song is in the first episode of Brassic and I wanted to hear this great song again.
Who does not love Thin Lizzy? This is what Rock Music is all about. Rest In Piece Phil and thank you for the all the great memories and Dalymount Park, Dublin 1977. Support act Graham Parker and the Rumours, and a little unknown band called The Boomtown Rats! I had just turned 16 years old and that gig is still rated as the very best outdoor gig to this date, in Ireland at least!
around 1978 maybe 79 i was in the Haymarket pub in Newcastle, couldnt wait to walk round the block to city hall to see lizzy, on my way round Phil got out of a Ford Granada estate right in front of me, couldnt get near him for autograph but ill never forget it , great times RIP Phil.

I love this song, guitars, bass, drums, drive forward. Maybe the best song of Thin Lizzy, this wonderful band from Ireland
Now I'm here cos 1) I've been bought up on Thin Lizzy my dear Dad is a huge fan, he's even held Phil's Bass way back and he has his own too and 2) this song is in the first episode of Brassic and I wanted to hear this great song again.
Why i havent heard this band before. This is one of the best rock bands what i know.
I'm a fan since the 70's... every now and then I need this... absolutely beautiful Phil . I don't arf miss you.
Just imagine if Phil was still here how many more brilliant songs Thin Lizzy would have put out. I miss you Phil ❤️
Who does not love Thin Lizzy? This is what Rock Music is all about. Rest In Piece Phil and thank you for the all the great memories and Dalymount Park, Dublin 1977. Support act Graham Parker and the Rumours, and a little unknown band called The Boomtown Rats! I had just turned 16 years old and that gig is still rated as the very best outdoor gig to this date, in Ireland at least!
Definitely one of rock's greatest guitar solos.
around 1978 maybe 79 i was in the Haymarket pub in Newcastle, couldnt wait to walk round the block to city hall to see lizzy, on my way round Phil got out of a Ford Granada estate right in front of me, couldnt get near him for autograph but ill never forget it , great times RIP Phil.
