Phil's voice was absolutely amazing and one hell of a bass player. Thin Lizzy was so underrated the original line up was just unbelievable thank you for your contribution to Rock & Roll.
@@grrwuff4099 I always speak up for younger people and their new music, but I was in high school in the 80s, and that was a sad, difficult time for me too. I never though rock would die. It hasn't died, but it's gone from mainstream music for sure. A Flock of Seagulls, Tears for Fears, Howard Jones, nothing wrong with that music, but for a rocker, it was death. Grunge and metal lived on, but they were very narrow genres. My favorite music was gone from the charts, but that meant I had to create my own music. As musicians, it's ok, as long as we don't expect the pop world to like us.
Phil was such a great performer with a tremendous voice. you see it especially in the front slow part of the Cowboy Song, he was really extraordinary. RIP phil
Yes. Indeed. And also prisoners of their own choices during that era. Much like Hendrix and others. Drugs, booze..in excess,plus the wear of touring and the road. If not, consider.. McCartney toured and probably wasn’t pure. But he’s still going. Why? Just saying 🙂✌️ I don’t know. What’s the difference? Do you know? Regardless, RIP Phil. You rocked!
Phil was a cool dude, and the rest of the band was pretty damn good too. Knowing how Phil went out is truly heartbreaking, I haven't known anyone who shared his addiction, but I know most go out the same way. Gone WAY too soon, RIP Phil 🙏❤
He was the definition of cool in my junior high school. Thin Lizzy was one band that everyone could agree on in the late 70s. Just put Jailbreak on the turntable and keep flipping it till everyone's passed out.
I'm really tired of people writing this crap. There are lots of musicians out there NOW busting their asses without auto tune or backing tracks, me being one of them. Stop insulting and start supporting...
Love the album, must be said though, was heavily overdubbed and touched up by Visconti, so not a true live recording. Other than that, sounds near studio quality and it sold well.
Goddamn, they were so unbelievably good. I love how Phil let's the guitars shine, by stepping back and just being a bass player for a minute. What a badass he was.
And just think what a shame it is that this band is not in the Rock and roll hall of fame They should change their name to rock and roll hall of shame For ignoring this ban for so many years Unbelievable
There will never be another like Phil, or Thin Lizzy for that matter. Oh there is music now, some good some bad, but Originals, Legends are few and far between. (Put some respect on Phil's name)
CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW????From one deaf(ex Tommy) Scouser to another lol-Reside in US for the last twenty years plus-Miss home and our sense of humor more as time goes on -LIZZY RULES Timothy
seen them back in the day in the kings hall in Belfast and the Antrim forum in the dark days of the troubles one of the few acts brave enough to play in Northern Ireland simply brilliant
kregory klements It appears you are lost living under a rock in a small PillBilly town which is very unfortunate. If you have questions Mr. Giggles try using google & enlighten yourself.
That "hall" in Cleveland is a joke and everybody knows it. All those rappers and no Thin Lizzy? Ridiculous. Did Deep Purple finally get in? Not for sure.
As much as I loved this band I still didn’t appreciate just how good they were until I was around 50yrs old. He had a unique and instantly recognisable voice. He/they were bloody awesome! One of his most brilliant performances was on Jeff Wayne’s musical version of War Of The Worlds. That was an awesome performance.
What a great singer, lyricist, songwriter and performer Phil Lynott was and a fantastic band. Saw their blistering performance in 1980 at City Hall, Newcastle. 2 Gibson Les Paul’s through Marshall amps. No better sound. Orgasmic.
Wow wow wow. Somewhere in my past I ran across these guys - but never before did I enjoy them as they deserved and as I do now. Where’s the hall of fame? Geez these guys should be put on a pedestal for all to enjoy!
I saw Lizzy and Slade together. lt doesn't get better. Oh, and Alex Harvey and Slade. And Quo and Slade! Need l say more? 70,s rock is without peer and what any band with balls would aspire to.
I’m gonna say his drumming is off the fucking hook. Listen to what he does and some of the lesser known songs like Chinatown just do yourself a favor and listen to the drumming On that song
Lizzy were one of the the best bands back in the 70’. Whiskey in the jar was one of the reasons I learned to play the guitar. Happy memories.👍👍👍🇬🇧🏴
This is my favorite Thin Lizzy song . I recall a friend bringing the vinyl album over and a bag of weed when I was a teen . When this song played , I fell in love with it and had to go buy it , and I still have it ! It is strange that I can recall the exact moment when I heard certain music for the first time , like Robin Trower , etc . , most of the times it was smoking weed (weak stuff in those days ) .
@@frankpohl8746 lol, I just remembered them calling it homegrown as far as the cheap weak stuff . They called the better stuff Columbian , and later we were getting Red Haired Sess , as they called it . I actually stopped smoking weed way back in the early 90's when I smoked some tainted stuff my older bro brought over . I was really messed up from it , whatever it was laced with made me forget things . I literally would be driving somewhere and all of the sudden wake up out of a trance like deal . I did not remember getting out of bed , getting in the car , or driving to where I was ? did I run red stoplights ? I did not recall anything from that morning . That went on for several days , I asked my Bro what the hell was in it , and he said nothing , and he always goes through that ! I had smoked weed for may years and never went through anything like that . I was done , and never touched it again . Now that it's legal in Michigan , I may grow some of my own to be sure it's not messed with .
Smoked hash oil most that day & night but won't forget it. Heard my cousins car fly down the road, then a few minutes later out of the blue he knocked on my moms door. Invited me to go with him to see these guys at Center Stage in East Providence R.I. Had an extra ticket and knew I liked their music. I asked him when was it. Said look outside. Dons 70 Nova SS and his Chevelle SS there sitting there all packed with guys yelling come on let's go, it's now or never.
Already a statue of him in Dublin , i saw them play a small venue near me in 1980 Kirkcaldy in Fife Scotland ...I was thirteen years old and my life was changed forever that day ...a true rock star who never got the credit he deserved....
Best concert I ever went to, most fun and best live sound. They could really get a crowd going, like no other. NYC The Palladium, Oct 22,1977 with Graham Parker and the Rumor.
I saw them the next year, 78, on a 3 band bill with Blue Oyster Cult headlining at the Palladium. The Dictators were also supposed to play but their equipment, along with Blue Oyster Cult's, never arrived at the venue. Blue Oyster Cult played with some of Lizzy's backline equipment. I am pretty sure the next 2 nights were cancelled as I have seen all these shows listed in Lizzy concert dates as cancelled. But I can assure you, that Friday showed happened and Thin Lizzy was great!
I really would have loved to have seen thin Lizzy with Phil Lynott. I was just a couple of years too young, and then he was gone.., but never forgotten. 🤘✌️
I saw them in 74 tour with Gary Moore and Scott Gorham. It was $5 general admission for 5 bands. Thin Lizzy was the headliner. At the old Michigan Palace in Detroit.
Stunning so clear and great sound Band at its best Phil Brian Scott and the most under rated guitarist never got credits he deserved Snowy .what a band
Phil Lynott is the only black Irishman I've ever heard of; the world became bereft of his prowess way too soon. (Jan. of 1986) I was in 9th grade, I recall thinking a dynamic frontman is gone too damn young.
One of my most memorable gigs was Lizzy in Dalymount in 1975 or 1976...was about three rows back in an absolute surge...but I lasted...me and Maxer...RIP Phillo
I was lucky enough to meet them. A friend of mine used to jam with Thin Lizzy here in Tulsa. And back before Phil passed away they came to Tulsa to see Kenny and we all went to the bar. They just didn't want me to tell everyone who they where they just wanted to party and have a good time. So that's exactly what we did. There a awesome bunch of guy. Wish I could see them all again. Fly high Phil see you on the other side brother. Trooper
They walked on stage at the Fox Theater in Atlanta in like 1979, said "we're Thin Lizzy and we're here to kick your ass" or some such and did just that. was on the front row.
This is a Tejas radio staple after midnight , I use to drive taxi 🚕 in early 2000s night shift always on stations, soon as customers left vehicle CRANKED IT UP !
Brian Robertson and Scott Gorham on dueling guitars is amazing.. An Irish rock and roll band that truly ended 35 years ago when we lost Phil. January 4, 1986..
You are correct.. It's Snowy White. He was a second/back up guitarist on Pink Floyd's Animals Tour in 77. Gorham saw him play and asked him to join TL..
I Love this song, it just gives you a good feeling. These guys were extremely talented. It makes you feel free, even justvfor that moment. Rip Paul and Gary. Peace
Saw thin Lizzy at bellevue Manchester many years ago Bob Geldof got up out of the audience did Route, 66 as I can remember but like I said it was a long time ago absolutely brilliant.
Many of us couldn't have been at concerts back then (in Germany, as Germans), but damn we had the best live concerts in the 80s in our country (Lorely and Essener Gruga-Halle), via TV. I was at everxy TV Concert at the" Rote Punkt" in Freiburg, South Germany. Mani!, you made it happen!! Zottel and all the Gang! Best times ever! Wir bleiben ewiglich vebunden....
I loved Phil Lynott and Thin Lizzy, They were the greatest rocking band of all time, my 6 brothers and I were very lucky to get to see them play all during their touring and recording times. I still miss Phil and I always will
@@revwahfair I have a Phopto Album full of ticket stubs. Like Black Sabbath for $3.50 The Stones were the only band that charged $10 . Those were the best days. We could go to the Shows for $8. That included the ticket and drinks and a bus ride.
@@kurtsherrick2066 I got 1st row balcony for the Stones and a separate concert Lou Reed with 100 tv sets on white and black static. I remember what drugs I took. I wrote them on the stub. Both concerts I had Lilly F40 Reds. Wish they still made those. Valium is the only thing close.lol
@@revwahfair That is funny you meantioned the Reds. I had a friend I could see sitting a few rows over from me during the Todd Rundgren RA Tour he was he was on the front row of the Balcony and he slept on the front top of the Balcony. I think it was Secobarbital if I remember correctly. That is what I tell the younger people. We had real drugs back then. Glad we survived!! Iam sure you are like me and know so many that didn't make it through those years.
@@revwahfair By the way I lived in Memphis. I was actually at the first concert Mick Jaggar plsyed Guitar on Stage. Mick is a huge fan of Furry Lewis a real Delta Blues Artist. The Stones brought Furry a new Guitar. Mick said he wanted Furry to see him play on stage the first time. It was the Some Girls Tour in 78. We had a go through Hunfreds of Feminist to get into the Colosseum. They were protesting the Album Cover. It was a experience.
I was visiting Ireland on vacation and wandered into a record store in Limerick to see a large black & white head shot of Phil Lynott situated over the entrance.
God how lucky was I to see these guys..saw them around 6 times with phil lynott..once seen never forgotten..this footage is tremendous thanks for posting...memories to last a lifetime..👍👍
1982 Germany, Nuremburg, Monsters of Rock, still got the pic of him in the album, It was close to one of his last concerts, so many bands at 20 bucks total, open air concert and the sound mix was good too. Rest peacefully Phil, you were exceptional as you blazed by us...
Phil's voice was absolutely amazing and one hell of a bass player. Thin Lizzy was so underrated the original line up was just unbelievable thank you for your contribution to Rock & Roll.
Underrated? That makes no sense. They were huge!
@@beenaplumber8379 In my mind too, but like 'last rock'n roll crusaisers' when 80'ies went 'New Wave'

NO THEY WERENT.
BUT THEY KICKED ALOT OF ASS
@@nathanoman1 When I see the word "underrated" on YT, I usually take it to mean "I underrated these guys. I wish I'd appreciated them more."
Phil was such a great performer with a tremendous voice. you see it especially in the front slow part of the Cowboy Song, he was really extraordinary. RIP phil
Hugely underrated, they were so good.
Another misplaced "underrated" comment. These guys were huge! In what way were they underrated?
Gone too soon, Phil was a rock n' roll genius and one of the coolest cats ever!
Alv
Coolest Cat Ever
Yes. Indeed. And also prisoners of their own choices during that era. Much like Hendrix and others. Drugs, booze..in excess,plus the wear of touring and the road.
If not, consider.. McCartney toured and probably wasn’t pure. But he’s still going. Why?
Just saying 🙂✌️
I don’t know. What’s the difference? Do you know?
Regardless, RIP Phil. You rocked!

Ladies and gentlemen, THIS is rock and roll at it's finest.
No auto-tune, no back-tracks, no bull$ht , just rock...
You know it David bro!!!!❤️
Fuck Ya!!! Grew up with this shit!!
I'm really tired of people writing this crap. There are lots of musicians out there NOW busting their asses without auto tune or backing tracks, me being one of them. Stop insulting and start supporting...
and those effects pedals.
Hell yeah!
This is but a taste of Thin Lizzy. 'LIVE AND DANGEROUS' is one of the best live albums to have in your record collection.
I'll second that. Currently wearing my way through my third copy.
Love the album, must be said though, was heavily overdubbed and touched up by Visconti, so not a true live recording.
Other than that, sounds near studio quality and it sold well.
I saw them in 1983 - and bought L&D the very next day. Overdubbed or not it replicates one of the best live bands ever
I got that shit on Vinyl, One of my treasured possessions!
YES!!! I wore out that cassette in my old car. Awesome concert capture!
Goddamn, they were so unbelievably good. I love how Phil let's the guitars shine, by stepping back and just being a bass player for a minute. What a badass he was.

Simply pure music gem!! Thin Lizzy, the best hard rock band for me!
Tanks from Italy for sharing.
I’m a punk rocker and skinhead reggae fan but I got plenty of time for this 🤙
Hell yes my man, Thin Lizzy transcends
Wtf is a skinhead reggae fan!? Lol
kregory klements It appears you are lost living under a rock in a small PillBilly town which is very unfortunate. If you have questions Mr. Giggles try using google & enlighten yourself.
No, he's right, what the fuck is that haha
R Hoff you & Mr. giggles are sleeping together. Ask your Mom any question you have, She’s extremely diverse
One of the greatest songs ever written..awesome groove
The song itself reminds me of Van Morrison, but the shape is fabulously rock and roll.
Indeed one of the greatest rock songs of all time starts slow leaves You tired & satisfied
Many moons ago whilst still at school I saw Slade, Lizzy and Suzy Quattro all on at the same gig!❤
Top concert of my life. Thin Lizzy and Nazareth: they split the time down the middle and both bands had volume and quality sound equally.
Wow Roger I wish I could have been there.
Love the Naz too. Both Brian Johnson and Axl Rose admit they took a lot from Dan McCafferty's vocal style. Hair of the Dog is a classic record.
O u lucky fuck
Market Square Arena... Best show EVER!!
I'm jealous Roger...never had chance to see them live...
As far as I'm concerned it is just a damn travesty that the rock and roll hall of fame has ignored Thin Lizzie for so many years put them in.
They are wayyyy above the HOF anyway
I IGNORE THE HALL.
ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME IS A JOKE.
IT'S LIKE THE ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE. THEY RAVED OVER STUPID STUFF PUT DOWN GREAT MUSIC.
BUNCH OF SNOBS.
That "hall" in Cleveland is a joke and everybody knows it. All those rappers and no Thin Lizzy? Ridiculous. Did Deep Purple finally get in? Not for sure.
Seriously... Piss on the HoF. They are pathetic wastes of air!
Brian Downey holds this band together like no one else
well Scott Gorham was really a life force in the band... IMO
Very true Downey was faultless fantastic musician
An awesome and IMHO underrated drummer. But of course Lizzy as a band was always great, no matter which various gitarrists played during the eras.
Love Brian, but it's obvious that he was really coked up here! To damn fast! lol.
As much as I loved this band I still didn’t appreciate just how good they were until I was around 50yrs old. He had a unique and instantly recognisable voice. He/they were bloody awesome!

Damn, I wish I could go back in time.
One of the greatest bands to come down the pike.. Phil & company , kicked serious ASS🔥🔥👍👍
Songs this good are just not written today....
Rock used to be so good...
When bands like Tull, Lizzy and midnight oil aren't inducted into the R&RHOF well...fuck em.
I agree
What we need is a very wealthy fan of REAL Rock and Roll/Metal/all things LOUD to create an actual HOF for ROCKERS.
All but eight!

Was that about 1972/1973 Phil, Eric & Brian I saw that tour as well. (Rainbow)
First heard this time covered by Golden Smog and I thought “Wow that song rocks!” Now I know that Thin Lizzy deserves the props! Props to you!
Phil was a musical genius. Damn drugs.
First band I ever saw in concert, unforgettable show,couldn't take your eyes off Phil.Great front man☘With this lineup too,Snowy and Scott kicked ass☘
I would have liked to have seen them with Robertson myself
Brian Downey is a good beast !! true Drum legend

I loved Phil Lynott and Thin Lizzy, They were the greatest rocking band of all time, my 6 brothers and I were very lucky to get to see them play all during their touring and recording times. I still miss Phil and I always will
Talents at its best, amazing!
There all just true rockstars..especially the way they plant themselves and dig in on stage all of em
Thin Lizzy are the reason I own a Les paul
Lizzy was a gem! 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I was blessed to see Thin Lizzy in 76. Still remember the picks being thrown into the crowd. Great show. I can't remember who they warned up.
I saw them at the Michigan Palace in 74 & 76 right before it closed. $5 for 5 unheard of bands. Rocked my Bones.
@@revwahfair I have a Phopto Album full of ticket stubs. Like Black Sabbath for $3.50 The Stones were the only band that charged $10 . Those were the best days. We could go to the Shows for $8. That included the ticket and drinks and a bus ride.
@@kurtsherrick2066 I got 1st row balcony for the Stones and a separate concert Lou Reed with 100 tv sets on white and black static. I remember what drugs I took. I wrote them on the stub. Both concerts I had Lilly F40 Reds. Wish they still made those. Valium is the only thing close.lol
@@revwahfair That is funny you meantioned the Reds. I had a friend I could see sitting a few rows over from me during the Todd Rundgren RA Tour he was he was on the front row of the Balcony and he slept on the front top of the Balcony. I think it was Secobarbital if I remember correctly. That is what I tell the younger people. We had real drugs back then. Glad we survived!! Iam sure you are like me and know so many that didn't make it through those years.
@@revwahfair By the way I lived in Memphis. I was actually at the first concert Mick Jaggar plsyed Guitar on Stage. Mick is a huge fan of Furry Lewis a real Delta Blues Artist. The Stones brought Furry a new Guitar. Mick said he wanted Furry to see him play on stage the first time. It was the Some Girls Tour in 78. We had a go through Hunfreds of Feminist to get into the Colosseum. They were protesting the Album Cover. It was a experience.
My first concert was Thin Lizzy 😁
That's an amazing first concert
me too....18 december 1979....bingley hall....Stratford... ENGLAND
Sure miss these guys. I still have the banner from the show in 83’ in Nuremberg.
I was visiting Ireland on vacation and wandered into a record store in Limerick to see a large black & white head shot of Phil Lynott situated over the entrance.
utterly love this band. Phil left this world too soon
Would have loved to have seen Phil and Thin Lizzy in their prime. A great voice and band!
Still in love with this band, I miss you Phil... 😢
God bless you phil
Yup, this is definitely a “video example” of what rock music is…………….actually, of what good music is in general of any genre.
Wow - this is incredible footage..
var på scandinavien 1976 om jag inte tar fel på år,thin lizzy,en upplevelse för livet!!!
The truth is you had seen them and follow them RIP and rock and roll
This is my favorite band of all time and Phil left us way too soon but his music will live on FOREVER R.I.P. Phil Lynot!!!
The Outlaws played there today. Long live Philip and Thin Lizzie
Still the best "intro" to boys are back in town
Stunning
A under rated band for sure.
God how lucky was I to see these guys..saw them around 6 times with phil lynott..once seen never forgotten..this footage is tremendous thanks for posting...memories to last a lifetime..👍👍
1977 Corpus Christi Texas there was many of us red eyed cowboys.
Still sounds sooo fucking good.
God bless Phil.
Snowy White and Scott Gorham.....great pair !!!
1982 Germany, Nuremburg, Monsters of Rock, still got the pic of him in the album, It was close to one of his last concerts, so many bands at 20 bucks total, open air concert and the sound mix was good too. Rest peacefully Phil, you were exceptional as you blazed by us...
I was there in '75 - '77 a lot of CONCERTS in Frankfurt, Nuremberg, Munich.
I was there in 82 also. Unfortunately one of my ex girlfriend tossed some of my stuff, including my photo albums.
