Good to be watching this in 2024 at a time when the guitar that Gary is playing is once more being played In front of thousands.
And it played in front of thousands before Gary too... It toured with Fleetwood Mac's Keith Greene for years 1st. 😮
I was at the Sydney Opera House for that concert and I still say it today that Lizzy are the best band I've seen live.
They weren’t even at full power, as Brian Downey didn’t want to make the trip to Australia and Mark Nauseef, a fine drummer, was filling in for a spell.
LIVE AND DANGEROUS is my all-time favorite album. Thin Lizzy was so good and this line-up was absolutely the best. Robertson and Gorham fit each other and Thin Lizzy like a leather glove. Phil was a giant among men. His songwriting is among the best ever. Still miss him alot.
The best live album ever
Its been completely blown out of proporion how much re recoding was done in the studio on live in Dangerous .
A box set of all the shows recorded for live and Dangerous was released and I own it .
When you compare live And Dangerous to the full Unedited shows Rexorded in 76 77 and 78 you will hear the overdubs were minimal .
Probably one of the greatest live albums of all time. Had it on vinyl in my teens, CD in my 20's now forever on UA-cam 😅😅
Is it me or did they skip one of the best songs on the album “still in love with you”
Massive miss there...and also Southbound {!} and Baby Drives Me Crazy. Would've liked more comment on Sha La La too...that riff and double kicker is brutal.
It's a blasphemous
@@ProletarianVanguardagreed . Blasphemous
Brian Robertson's solo on that song is hypnotizing.
The best song on the album. The melodic guitar solos from both guitarists are top notch amazing,
Brian Downey, the rock drummers drummer. The man’s a genius. For me, he’s right up there with Terry Williams, as my all time fave rock band drivers.
Most underrated drumer on the planet EVER!!!! 😖
The drum solo on L&D was amazing!
Massacre comment" the rhythm guitar parts are quite nice ? "Wtf? Brian Robertson,s repeating hook riff with the super snarly runs at the end of the phrases is pure genius!! I got my first guitar after I heard Brian Robertson and never recovered,,40 years later and it's Scott Gorham,s solo at the end of bad reputation that I've finally nailed,,best melodic rock band of all time ,fact !
Brian Robertson was INCREDIBLE!
I’ve seen Thinlizzy on 7 occasions , magnificent live band . Those were the days .
You are so fortunate! I never got to see them but was a fan since Live and Dangerous.
No mention of Snowy White? The 2 albums they did with Snowy are damn fine Lizzy albums.
Johnny The Fox Meets Jimmy The Weed is not an album title, it’s a song title. The album is entitled Johnny The Fox. Nit-picking, yes, but this is Thin Lizzy; this shit matters.
"The boys " a great legendary song💪will be played in 1000Years❤
I was 13 at the time and remember asking in the local record shop every day after school when Live and Dangerous was coming. Lizzy were just the best band ever...
It is THE best live rock album ever captured on vinyl. Period.
Am I the only one that noticed that there was a lot of Gary Moore footage in the video? Even though he didn't play on Live and Dangerous
Brian Robertson is a fantastic guitar player. He gets a lot of shit for his time in Motörhead, but some of his solos on Another Perfect Day are among the best Motörhead ever done.
Brians playing on songs like One Track Mind, I Got Mine, Shine and Dancing On Your Grave is just brilliant.
I agree, another perfect day is different to any other Motörhead Album, but it's great, absolutely outstanding
@@tomhesse01 Hear hear! _Another Perfect Day_ is a very good album - even Lemmy (in hindsight some years later) said it was pretty good.
I agree 👍
Live and Dangerous is my favorite rock LP of all time!
I was a Jr in HS when Live And Dangerous came out, it's easily my favorite live record. We never missed an opportunity to see them live, just a great live band.
I was 15 and went to wembley in '78 outside,LIZZY were playing,teenager with no money,i was pissed off,but i wanted the atmosphere,and i got it....Absolutely right, Scott Gorham, ,a great man
I feel blessed that l saw them at the 1977 Reading Festival, ten foot from the stage, which if I’m correct was during the L&D tour. For me, L&D is one, if not THE best live album ever recorded. In my humble opinion one of the greatest rock links from one song to another was the link between Dancing In The Moonlight into Massacre, and the middle eight of Baby Drives Me Crazy. Absolutely pure rock sounds!
My older brother had 'Live & Dangerous' & i always liked it but when i was 15 i bought a record collection which included every Lizzy album & i listened to em' until my ears bled......i appreciated 'Live & Dangerous' a lot more by then.
Scott was never second fiddle in Lizzy - his contribution was easily as solid as any of the other guitarists and some of his solos were/are legendary.
Scott Gorham's contribution to Thin Lizzy was understated. Sometimes he was playing second fiddle to the "mercurial lead guitarists like Brian Roberton, Gary Moore and latterly John Sykes"; but Scott made the Lizzy twin guitar sound. See 39:31 onwards.
I consider Scott the most selfless player in rock n roll. Dude had to share a stage with robbo , gary, and John sykes. That alone to is mind blowing, and that’s not considering his serious contributions to that band.
Whoever said he was? You hearing voices again ?
@sammysouth8372 tell me you didn't watch the video without telling me you didn't watch the video.
Jimmy started to tune to Eb when he was playing with bands with horn sections and he prefered the sound of the guitar and kept to it , beautiful to see Philomena at the start of the video , a beautiful lady with a beautiful soul , the first time I met her she came up to me after a lowly pub gig and thanked all of us in the band for keeping her sons music alive , I met her 4 or 5 times after and she remembered me every time so gracious and really made me feel blessed . May she Rest In Peace . Great documentary great band timeless music .
Phil, Her mom, just beautiful souls. The legacy will live on.
Pretty sure you meant Jimi.
My favourite band as a musician. Black Rose album, my favourite after live and dangerous.
Tony Visconti wrote in his book that Phil wanted the bass overdubbed on some tracks, because he wasn’t always sturdy live when singing. Great album with or without overdubs.
I saw them by chance at the Ritz in NYC. I believe Iggy Pop was scheduled to play and when I got to the theater there was a sign saying the show was cancelled but a special surprise guest would play. What the heck I was already there and was a regular so I hung around. So glad I did!
I stood literally belly to the stage the whole night! I was already a bit toasted when I arrived so I don’t remember too many details but I do know it was one of the best I ever saw there - out of hundreds! Some memories just feel right even when fuzzy and damn that show was fantastic!
The drums were not re done in any way. Brian Downey is a drum machine.
Fantastic documentary! Great knowledgeable music interviews.
Thanks for watching!
Eb? Never got that growing up learning this stuff. Plus, the Strat is a whole step lower than the acoustic. I think they were in A440. KISS was def in ½ step flat, but Lizzy.? Not so sure. Maybe I was tuned to learning KISS and didn’t notice?
@hillsmith nope, Lizzy *always* played a half-step down at Eb.
MY FAVORITE WAS ROBBO....UNDER RATED GUITARIST.
Is there a financial reward available for those who use the word "underrated"? I see it used so many times I begin to wonder.
That solo on showdown on the 75 tour tapes. Nothing touches that one.
@@FrozenHero2010Retards that learn a new word and litter comments sections with it. Underrated now means,everyone must agree with the morons statement and if you comment back they usually report you,due to their lack of intelligence. 👊
Robbo is so integral to the sound of the classic Thin Lizzy line-up. My favorite Lizzy songs have his stamp all over them!
Same here 👍
UFO-Strangers In The Night Live is the only album to come close to this one.
And Frampton comes Alive that's a master piece
Brian downey is my favorite drummer.
Bless for not saying he is underrated.
He’s my favorite drummer, too, with Neil Peart coming in second. How about that?!
neil peart, clive burr, alex van halen same era drum giantsc@@crusheverything4449
Something I noticed early on...after hearing Thin Lizzy...Brian Downey was 1 of very few rock drummers that I knew of that could swing....which put them in a different class.... and I am not one to ..say this band is better than that band.... but I really dig Brian Downey's playing.....and I am a big Thin Lizzy fan.....
For me, the best Lizzy song is "Vagabond of the western world" ....
It has everything, it's tragic, vicious and sexy
Best song man then you havent heard much from thin lizzy
@@markusforsberg6741- It’s called an opinion, dude. It’s pretty safe to assume that someone who knows the song Vagabond of the Western World has heard the much more well-known records that came after. People are in such a hurry to chump somebody out, they often do it to themselves in the process, like you did. Nice going.
From the time when rock stars looked like rock stars
What really astounds me to this Day is: Phil Lynott's singing on 'The Boys are Back in Town'! He sounds like he's actually from an Italian Gang from NYC! 'Dino's Bar & Grill' is Not in Northern Ireland!
When I was a kid, I thought Lizzy was from Brooklyn and Phil was Puerto Rican. I scratched my head when I found out they were formed in Ireland.
The best live hard rock band I've seen! 😜
I’ve bought the anniversary extended version. They were brilliant every night with no overdubs
Bought the album when it first came out and listened to it endlessly through my prised set of pioneer headphones! A classic live album, along with UFO’s strangers in the night. Still have the vinyl.
I loved driving with mates as a teen with Thin Lizzy Live on the stereo, it was just exciting and so "joe cool' and jazzy sounding vocal delivery. The audience involvement made it sound epic.
Huge Thin Lizzy fan. For some reason I like LIFE more than Live and Dangerous though. I’m certain I will be scorned, but I just love that album.
That was/is a great album. Even the worst of Thin Lizzy albums (which Life is not) don’t deserve scorn.
Funny you say that because for me it’s UK Tour 75 it’s just so smooth and all the jams are played in perfect order
Thin Lizzy are a Fantastic Live Band.
Thin lizzy were a Awesome band
For many years, as much as I loved Thin Lizzie, I was utterly convinced that Dancing in the Moonlight was actually a Van Morrison song.
At least you're honest !
* LIZZY
autocorrected again. rookie mistake. lol There's no reason to yell. Funny though that it took three years for someone to point out this bit of silliness.
@@crusheverything4449
Best live album ever.
You know all those people never forgot that concert 😅
saw the classic line up Gorham Robertson..Bad Reputation tour 77 or 78?, Liverpool Empire...awesome
I don't think there was a "classic" line-up. A lot of line-ups produced classics. They all included Brian Downey as well....
It’s widely accepted gospel that the classic line-up of Thin Lizzy was Lynott/Downey/Roberston/Gorham.
God, they wheeled out the big guns for this documentary. LOL.
robbo and scott best pair in lizzy hands down
I saw them about a month before this.. September 11th 1978 in Flint Michigan at the IMA Auditorium they were warming up for the Blue Oyster Cult
this is awesome!
"You don't want to be battered over the head..."
Yes, we do want that 😀🤜💥 👍
Batter us with all you got 🎸!
Gary Moore is my favourite ever guitarist. Monster technique and sweet bluesy soul
The half step down was also and I feel more importantly for the vocals. These guys weren't Tenor singers and when you're singing as a Baritone singing leads the half step makes a huge difference in not straining your voice when singing every night or many nights of concerts. To reach some of the high notes in 440 can be a little too much for a Baritone singer. You can pick the key which fits great when the melody is happening but if your trying to hit some higher notes in a progression that demands it and you're not built that way it's a real help.
This documentary opens up referencing some the Live And Dangerous album but the film accompanying it doesn’t feature either Brian - Downey or Robertson…
Did I hear correctly, around 40 minutes - Malcolm Young - bass player?!
That’s what he said... fucking dumb ass journos the lot of them!!
🙄 that Malcolm Dome has always been a cringe-y dork. His documentaries are always littered with crap.
I think he misspoke, but what he was talking about relates to rhythm guitar
Blooper, Malcom young wasn't the bassist in ACDC
Wow...some nit wit ACTUALLY THOUGHT FUKN ANGUS YOUNG WAS ON BASE? They must be on drugs. His rhythm guitar is LEGENDARY....
That stopped me in my tracks at 40:18 too. Massive blooper from Dome.
Live and Dangerous...so why are they showing clips for Live In Sydney; Live and Dangerous was filmed...maybe there's some kind of ownership/copyright issue as I never see the Live and Dangerous video.
Brian Downey is pretty much the perfect drummer period!
Saw Lizzy open for Kansas on Point of know return tour. Coincidentally my 2 favorite live albums are by those 2 bands
How did "nobody know" he was using heroin??
Phil was on TV talking about it in 1983
I think everyone but his mother knew. It's in the lyrics of Got to Give it Up in 79.
@@davidbaron8330 I think you are right about that.
@@davidbaron8330 mothers are always last to know
@@classicartfoundation639 Legend has it that Phil showed his arms to his mother and claimed he wasn't using drugs. He injected them into his feet instead.
I agree Live and Dangerous is a great album no doubt, but it's so SUBJECTIVE.... Just try getting someone who is not into Lizzy to agree it's the best live album of all time..
I think people usually think THEIR favorite bands' live album is the greatest live album of all time...
Good point.
Allow me to be the exception to that rule: I've been to see Status Quo some 25 - 30 times and their 1977 _Live!_ ranks _down down..._ .
You are right - opinions on the best ever live album are subejctive. Some say _Frampton Comes Alive_ , there's also UFO's _Strangers in the Night_ , _Slade Alive_ and the Rolling Stones's _Get Your Ya Ya's Out_ . Take your pick!
Scorpions Tokyo Tapes is a contender!
Phil would be a god among men now if he could've gotten himself healthy and lived.
I know, too tragic for words
It's too bad that they didn't make sure they had the harmonies for their great music when they were live. That's one of the great things I think many of us Loved about Van Halen. They ALWAYS made sure their vocals were ALL there live every time! Both Mike and Ed were Great vocalists.
Why the sharp cut-off and where was the interview with Eric Bell?
Life Live 1983 was as great as Live and Dangerous but many fans ignored.
Brilliant album, I love it too, but it didn't capture the fans imagination or the same zeitgeist that Live And Dangerous did in '78.
You had to be there.
I didn't ignore it. I just didn't like it.
I would like to know the reason why Downey didn't play in Australia
Ahead of their time,.....If they`d still been around in 1985-86 they could have jumped on the Bon Jovi/Whitesnake "Poodle Rock" bandwagon and been bigger and better than any of them.
If you want a good night out go to see **Brian Downeys Live and Dangerous** band playing all these great hits,they tour quite regularly and are fantastic.
Why do these documentaries seem to always have people who pronounce Phil’s last name wrong? It is not LIN NOT. It is LIE NOT
Sha La La is not a 'filler'.
Lp is going with me in me coffin!
Pedazo de álbum
Ok that video of them playing sha la la, does anyone ahve a full version of the concert, I want to see one with brian roberston and the only one i can find is the one after the fighting album, which is my fave album by them but i would like to see them play other songs from otrher albums to.
Wow. Why do these docs just end so abruptly, like they do? Could come to some kind of conclusion.
Yep Philo was the best 🎼
Sha la la is "filler"??
Jesus 🙄🙄🙄
All credibility lost, fool.
That's journo's for you! Clueless clowns
Came here to say the same. The guy's an idiot.
AND he played the wrong chords for Boys Are Back In Town. Dckhead 🙄🤔
That's harsh. _Sha La La_ was indeed described as a filler, but it was qualified as a very good one!
Downey and robertson DEFINITELY THE BEST GUITAR DUO……why? Because they balanced perfectly Gary moore put that balance right out Because he was too good for gorham “and I love Scott he is a huge favourite of mine” but Gary was a out and out genius like rory Gallagher or van halen or bonamassa a giant in term of skill tone style so the gorham/robertson years were my favourite Lizzy period because of the balance.
Dam Right they peaked in those times
I wasn't a fan of the cover there were fantastic photos on the inside of the album great album I wish opium trail and fools gold were included this album U F O strangers in the night. Judas priest unleashed in the east. Rainbow on stage. Iron Maiden made in Japan. Michael shenker group live at Budakon. Mercyful Fate live from the depths of hell ha ha
for fecks sake - tony visconti himself has admitted that the whole thing from beginning to end was overdubbed by all three guitarists..
tony visconti was coked n fucked outa his head most of seventies n eighties, read his auto bio, bowie, bolan n the brooklyn boy, he does think a lot of himself, brian downey , a teetoller non drug taker says visconti is full of shit, theres few overdubs on live and dangerous as downey and band were present throughout the mixing process. never trust the words of a coke head, we all know that!
Thank you, Steven! You saved me the trouble.
The groove is in your head too, yeah😂🎉
People, the man’s surname is pronounced LY-nott. If you say it quickly, it sounds like LY-nitt. It is NOT LINN-it.
I really have had a problem with SO MANY so called "Sound men" over the years of playing that I both worked with and those I've heard from other groups! So MANY times I'll be watching a group and listening to the parts of the band and I'm seeing that say, the lead guitar part comes up and I'm seeing the player give his all playing that part BUT YOU CAN'T BLOODY HEAR IT!! Why can't the man that's supposed to be the Professional at that exact job see and HEAR that it's missing?? I've walked up to sound men in times like this before and pointed things like this out before. I don't WANT to do it. I HATE doing it. BUT when I have and do sure enough they don't say a word they just go to that fader on the board and sheepishly turn it UP!! Are they all so stoned that they don't THINK?? I say LOOK SEE THE PLAYERS?? DO YOU HEAR THEM ALL RIGHT NOW?? WHERE"S THE ACOUSTIC GUITAR THAT THE GUYS IS PLAYING?? I CAN'T HEAR A THING (I'm having to shout so they can hear me that's why the "CAPS" lol. Plus I am assuming they are DEAF so I must shout at them lol). I also know sign Language fluently or "ASL" as it's called. I've been so pissed at a Loverboy concert once that I stood in front of the sound man and signed to him about the problem of hearing the instruments or vocals as it were but of course they don't know sign. Afterwards I asked him if he understood what I said and he said No why did you think I would?? I said Because the sound was so messed up I thought you MUST be DEAF!! He told me to F-Lock off. LOL.
Set list anyone?
Yez😢Yes he was
@ 10:51 - Where the fuck did "Krusher" get his name from? 😆
Krusher....he looks like he couldn't crush a grape !! 😆👍
It’s probably like when they call a fat guy, “Slim”.
Brian Robertson.......
It would have been a lot better without to commentary telling us what we already know.
Phil was one of the greatest, but your cutting out Scott and Brian, many of these tunes were very basic Ideas (seeds really) Until Scott and Brian wrote guitar parts to help build the song . Phil knew more about publishing and royalties then the guitar playeds did
Not every Irishman can pull off an afro!
He isn't Brian.(fIrst scean)
Love Thin Lizzy, but this was absolute garbage! Nothing to do with "Live & Dangerous" the album, just a handful of mostly unknowns "analysing" some parts of songs! The title is misleading! Always nice to see Phil's Mum though, I skipped through the rest as there's nothing new or revealing to see here! And it mentions "Interview with Phil Lynott" Well I must have blinked and missed that!?! Hopefully someone will do a proper analysis of the "Live & Dangerous" album and not just use the title for click-bait! Although the gig at Sydney Opera House was fantastic (most/all of the shots in this video are from that Sydney Opera House gig) However the album "Live & Dangerous" was out 6 months BEFORE they even played in Australia! Thus nothing from the Sydney Opera House gig was used on the album "Live & Dangerous" This video is just cheap, cobbled-together misleading BS!
the fab 4 not gary moore studio playing not that great always the same did yous write it no so why not bring in the guys that did not a fan of this video
don't believe a word is peter green
Heroin... WTF!
Guitar nerds should never make a movie! You boys would bore the legs off a donkey!
check out that groovy 'shape throwing' ....LOL...what the fuck is that guy talking about?
Shame none of you can pronounce Phil's surname correctly
Never understood what made them so big. Totally non saying music to me
