This Phil Paris Lynott was a man for all the seasons. If God gave you the gift of building your idea of the perfect rocker it would be Phil Paris Lynott, He was a direct descent of the ancient Irish warrior Cú Chulainn, the hound of Ulster. The blessed Phil was the cowboy, the porker player, the rocker, the wild Gipsey boy, the dancing Rudolph Valentino, the poet, the storyteller, the wise one, the lover,the lad how just got back to his town after his travels with many tales and stories to tells to his palls, the master wordsmith, the boy on the corner with his back to against the wall in the center of town with one leg bent and flat of foot placed on the wall for balance with cigaret in hand and a wing and glint in his eye for the passing girls. The man up front driving his warrior players in his band on. The vagabond of the western world, the teacher, the educator, the master musician. Listen to his words in Military Man, it will put a shiver down your back and make you think like never before about been guns and war. He is thought of in equal terms as many of Irelands previous greats, Oscar Wild, William Butler Yeats, James Joyce, Seamus Heaney, Samuel Beckett, Patrick Kavanagh, Brendan Behan, Jonathan Swift, Edna O'Brien,Thomas Moore, Lady Gregory, Seán Ó Ríordáin, Lady Wilde, Jonathan Swift, Oliver Goldsmith, George Bernard Shaw, Seán O'Casey etc Phill was a man for all seasons and anyone would have been as proud as punch to have been called his pall Phil and Thin Lizzy music, poems and stories will be listened to in several hundreds years’ time. Mark my words on this I will be proven right on this.
This song always tears my heart out when I hear it. Nobody else can pull you into a song and make you feel every note quite like Phil Lynott. Rest in peace Phil.
Phil was transitioning into a contemporary artist I wish life were kinder or better for him and he completed this period musically..we lost a great one in Phil!
Phil was in control of what Phil did, while he was world was falling apart he dug in to his vices harder, he was the one responsible for his own actions, like a lot of creatives are. When Lizzy broke that was time to get knuckle down, think of his kids and put his career on the backburner...
@@bathtubgeorge I completely agree unfortunately the life of the rock star dream overtook him towards the end of Thin Lizzy they got even harder into the heroin and cocaine and when Thin Lizzy wasn't the hip success they had once been that ate him up inside even further power reason why they started doing drugs in general what's to write good music only they didn't see the back fall and at this time in his life this was more of a priority
@@realone6886 The reason Phil and Scott got into the dangerous heroin thing in one sense was because they needed to escape the fact they were not getting bigger, Gorham admitted this himself, and their drug appetite had snowballed by the early 80s, nothing to do with writing good music. Drugs may help you reflect creatively but can they make write better? Hardly. It is a sad state of affairs, Phil was only fooling himself. Even during the 70s, Lizzy held themselves back, they seemed to favor the party which took their eye off the ball, and they suffered commercially because of it and I'm talking about a couple of cancelled US tours in 1976 alone where they just shot themselves in the foot.
Love Knopfler and very pleased he's still flooring audiences. Lynott's voice was so unique that it's pretty much impossible to mimic - Huges soft spot for his music.
Philo, what can we say about you that hasn't been said before. You were a one off and an influience on so many people, who looked on you as a hero, including me. Missing you man. RIP
Just heard this for the 1st time ever... its so beautiful! Philip looks as if he is truly loving n cherishing playing n singing this song! I wish that he had had, his father, while growing up when he was... yearning, and learning. Thank you Philip for all your Poetry and Music. Roberta
It sure was fine Mark and so heartbreaking to see Phil lay his heart out in this video as a father to two beautiful daughters that I dont get to see as often as I would like not to mention their brother I can honestly imagine how hard it must have been for Phil to sing this song with all that was going on in his life such a beautiful song RIP Phil
I got into Lizzy circa 1978/79. It's now 36 years since Phil died. Many other people in my life have died too. Life has changed, it isn't the same anymore. I see the world differently these days. I don't like what the world is, I don't like the attitude of people and their politics. Thankfully i can still re-visit the good times. Thanks Phil!
Hey Phil you are my hero🥰the best musician ever. Love your voice and the lyrics. Im a Ireland lover because of you😅i were a few times on you gravesite❤️🕊thank you phil for your musik it helps mi a lot when im down. A big kiss from switzerland🇨🇭🌻
It was a rainy night, the night Phil went down. I went to the liquor, and bought a bottle of wine and a bottle of gin, and played his records all night and got drunk with a close close friend.
AWESOME LOVE THIS TUNE ...AND JUST GOT CD WITH OTHER SONG MARK DID WITH HIM . I SAID THAT SOUNDS LIKE MARK K . AND IT WAS PHIL WAS SO DEEP SINGER . AWESOME HE IS.....AWESOME POST HI 5 TO YA
The first solo album sounds like Thin Lizzy in alot of spots. That's why the second solo album is my preference. Phil came into his own as a solo artist.
little girl is growing up, little girl is burning up. little girl is only niceness, .little girl is growing up Little girl burns up, little boy she burns upon.
Unfortunately, this is all I have from this performance. Don't forget to check out the Thin Lizzy TV Special with Eric Bell, Scott Gorham, and John Sykes.
Yep that's him, and at the end there's a lefty guitarist called Gus Isidore who went on to be the lead guitarist for Seal. He actually looks like Seal in some videos, most notably Seal live at the oint, that you can see here on UA-cam now.
not a hard rock song. not totally a singer songwriter song. some kind of ballad. how about some kind of complete genius writing a song on his baby for his little baby. thank u Jesus. :)
I miss that guy every damn day.
Myself too Buddy, i still often cry when i listen to his music

Actually the name Lynott is of Welsh origin and of course his father was not of these isles.
Very eloquent, James Bradshaw, too bad his mother Philomena isn't around to read this she would appreciate your tribute...🎸
Wow...this type of songs makes me realize that i am on this earth for one thing, music 👏🙏
Yes John!! 🎤🎤❤️❤️👍🎸🤘🤘🤘
Siii !!! 😢👏👏

Don't do shity herion from some scag dealer in Baile atha Dubh.
Haven't heard this before. What a songwriter/singer
he was.
Phil what a talent sorely missed he could do ballads and rock with the best. This is an awesome song.
Love Knopfler and very pleased he's still flooring audiences. Lynott's voice was so unique that it's pretty much impossible to mimic - Huges soft spot for his music.
Pretty sure knopfler is the sexiest man to ever live
the feelings phil puts into every song cannot be manufactured watch and learn fame wannabe,s
It's the heroin
+BossBass7o7 that makes you a dork?
@@briandonaghy2458 Dumb fuck.
Amongst other things, Phil and Mark equate to two of the best ever lyricists to have ever graced popular music .
The dynamics of this man cannot be put into words.
+lukjanowitsch1 I am amazed for sure. Even if I don't like the melody to this song.
Well said, Sir. 🙏
This my 1st time hearing this.
I cried .
Me to cried like a baby cause it reminds me so much of my youngest daughter RIP Phil miss you more everyday
Try both solo albums - both superb

Incredibly beautiful song
Phil can really paint a picture
Mr Phil Lynott, a genius! Miss you man! You are needed in this World of today, bring love and Music! RIP
Philo, what can we say about you that hasn't been said before. You were a one off and an influience on so many people, who looked on you as a hero, including me. Missing you man. RIP
Phil,I know you are jamming with Gary Moore and Lemmy up there.It’s always the good ones who go.We miss you Phil. Xxxx 😢😘
Just heard this for the 1st time ever... its so beautiful! Philip looks as if he is truly loving n cherishing playing n singing this song! I wish that he had had, his father, while growing up when he was... yearning, and learning.
Thank you Philip for all your Poetry and Music.

I have no answer for that. Its to bad there are such kind of douchbags who dislike this wonderful song
Wow!! where did this song come from?
Another Classic from the old genius!
Still miss you, Phil!!!!!
“-What did you give each other musically?
-Nothing”
The best response ever, only MK could answer like this 😂
Que pena ...se fue tan joven 😢😢 ....pero dejo temas tan bellos !!! QEPD ....
It was a rainy night, the night Phil went down. I went to the liquor, and bought a bottle of wine and a bottle of gin, and played his records all night and got drunk with a close close friend.
Almost 30 years since Phil left us. Wow. This is very good quality, so enjoying it. Thanks for the upload.
Miss You being here Phil..Dublin ain't the same any more and the World of Music and Song is such an EMPTY place without You..a BEAUTIFUL song❤🎙🎵🎶🎸..
AWESOME LOVE THIS TUNE ...AND JUST GOT CD WITH OTHER SONG MARK DID WITH HIM . I SAID THAT SOUNDS LIKE MARK K . AND IT WAS PHIL WAS SO DEEP SINGER . AWESOME HE IS.....AWESOME POST HI 5 TO YA
All songs from Phil’s second solo album. Self titled. The first one Solo in Soho was better received at the time.
The first solo album sounds like Thin Lizzy in alot of spots. That's why the second solo album is my preference. Phil came into his own as a solo artist.
Stunning.....
I fucking love this
oh phil!!!!precious song!!!
Love this video
Beautiful..🙏🌟🎶🎤🎸
two great performers and song writers can do rock and great ballads like this true legends rip phil x
Nice song by Phil,🙂 a little gem from the dusty archives
Fabulous. I still miss you Denise. Xxx
Some of the songs Phil wrote for his solo albums had a real "Remembering" vibe. I loved them then...and love them still.
I discovered Phil Lynott yesterday for the first time. Like very much.
OMG !!! Your in for a treat
Great voice,
Love the keyboard solo by Mr.Darren Wharton.
que dupla!!!
Brilliant upload..

Как жаль,что Филла больше нет среди живых.
this song hurts my soul
1:16 you would expect Lemmy!
such a cool way to use a vocoder, I assume that's what Darron uses
😢......!
For Haz & Meg ❤❤☮☮
little girl is growing up, little girl is burning up. little girl is only niceness, .little girl is growing up
Little girl burns up, little boy she burns upon.
## 2018
If you don't know the keyboardist is JIMMY BAIN is DIO BASS PLAYER R.I.P.
Nope, it's Darren Wharton.
Most definitely Darren Wharton.
DarrenWharton on keyboards..also part of last Lizzy line-up

andy Russell haha true that 🙌
Fantastic :) Are you able to upload the rest of the performance?
Unfortunately, this is all I have from this performance. Don't forget to check out the Thin Lizzy TV Special with Eric Bell, Scott Gorham, and John Sykes.
Where is the TV special? Name of it?
Who's that on drums ..?
heez ded ho, philo. david bowie and lou reed too.

Is that Jerome Rimson on bass?
Yep that's him, and at the end there's a lefty guitarist called Gus Isidore who went on to be the lead guitarist for Seal. He actually looks like Seal in some videos, most notably Seal live at the oint, that you can see here on UA-cam now.
..........but this particular song had nothing to do with Mark Knopfler. 🤔
not a hard rock song. not totally a singer songwriter song. some kind of ballad. how about some kind of complete genius writing a song on his baby for his little baby. thank u Jesus. :)
Sparkly keyboard guy is making phil smile! I hate this song
Very boring
Such a fucking loser
