  • When Gary Moore left Thin Lizzy in 1979 during a US tour, Phil Lynott was not amused. The pair fell out and didn't speak for three years. Now they're back together, and have recorded a new song; "Out in the Fields". How did that happen?
    Originally broadcast 7 May, 1985.

    I met Phil and Snowy in 76 I was a kid walking down the street with my dad. Dad said ' do you know who they are son?' and they stopped and Phil lifted me up. He said ' respect your Dad and live your life kid' I had no idea who they were. But dad had a camera so I have a precious memory

      Amen to that!! Gary had the ability to play like a monster and/or be very fluid in the same song. I love how Phil presented "Whiskey in the jar" for the rest of us. The Grateful Dead did it as well, but it just didn't sound like the way Phil presented it. He was such an underrated vocalist!!

The party scene must have been pretty “unconducive” to making music so Moore packed it in and went home. It’s such a shame because when you listen back to Lizzy tracks today they are so well put together that they really shine.
