I was driving back from Yorkshire in my lorry, really depressed and wondered where my life was headed, I had 'Lizzy' on a cassette tape, and when "Cowboy Song" came on, it cheered me up no end, and things didn't seem so bad afterwards.
Saw them opening for Queen in Vancouver and I was absolutely blown away. I knew their music and liked the band, but up close they might have been the best hard rock guitar band I've ever seen.. and I've seen them all.
in 1983 while i was hangin out in germany, i went to this concert called monsters of rock at the zepplinfeld in nuremburg, 9 bands total, one of them was thin lizzy....was downfront at the stage the whole time, this was also the last time gary moore was with them on that tour. I still have the ticket stub from that gig
Was there also, actually got a photo of Phil on stage with my POS camera I had. It was one of the last time he would play close to his passing, He was good..
no doubt thin lizzy is one of if not the greatest rock band period!!!! rock and roll hall of fame or not we know better, and phil was the coolest person to ever walk the stage, he is a true hero, not only his music but he made the world a better place for us all black white red or yellow R.I.P. phil your a true hero, and a cowboy
RIP PHIL. 🙏 I use to have a TL Jailbreak shirt when I was 20 or so. That was 45 years ago and I still break out the TL L&D cd sometimes. This is my favorite song.
Phil and Jimi definitely in heaven together, great core for heavens massive rock band...i miss this music, havent heard it in a while..some of the best music ever mate, you know he's laughing cause he cant see the stars..R.I.P Phil..youre missed mate
damita Smith This was my favorite song by them, back in the day. I really miss their music and style, may he rest in peace with the other greats like Hendrix and Bo.
damita Smith I love it, obviously You didn't, and neither did I, we have to remind people sometimes that we (our people) have been about music since we arrived here in ships against our will, but singing anyway. We have continued to make, create, and revolutionize music ever since. I am grateful to Little Richard, Bo Diddley, and Chuck Berry for Getting this party started Right, and also groups Like Living Colour for continuing with pride and style.
damita Smith One day people will understand that we have to live together or we all will suffer. Music is just one way to bring some togetherness to this world, until then "keep hope alive and keep rockin".
Phil Lynott just had the voice for this song. Hard for any other singer to do it justice. Miss you always, Phil. Taken from us far too young, far too soon. RIP brother. God needed you more.
Mike Replin Never Underrepresented or under appreciated by anyone with a clue. No disrespect whatsoever. They had some of the best guitarists going!! Still miss Phil. R.I.P. Boss.
@@williamfarmer2348 Gary was their Greatest player ever...BUT Lizzy wern't the Best with Gary...Gary's heart wasn't in it. They were much better with Robertson/Gorham. That was the " best combo"
Saw them on the Jailbreak tour in the UK! Absolutely brilliant - and that was the seventies when there were so many great bands and concerts! They always stuck in my mind as being up there with the best! So happy I was born when I was!
Pity he never got the recognition he really deserved: an incredible talent. Wrote some truly sublime songs. If you listen to their music from the start you understand what a diverse talent he was. Jailbreak -what an album!
i love this song. makes me cry but i dont know why...it is at same time sad and happy...i am so sorry for Phill...my neighbrou and a good friend died also in 1986 in car excidente...he was a real rocker and he was just 19 years old...i was 11...i wish they are alive,both of them...great band,great music...i love you people,all of you...peace and love...take carre...bye
Thin Lizzy, April Wine, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers were my all-time favorite bands. They were all about the fans first. Phil Lynott left us way too early in life. RIP Phil, and rock on my friend!
To be sure, to be sure, a pearl. In fact a diamond in my eyes. Rocked me since forever. Thank you for attending the show Mr. Phillip Lynott, hope your new gig is going well. Hope to be there someday.
I remember being Super into KISS! One of My Dad's friend's say's "ya want to hear some real Rock and Roll?' He play's Cowboy Song !!! Hooked every since!! Thank's for video.
Thin Lizzy! What more can be said, of one of the greatest rock bands in the world! Simply amazing with Phil lynott at the helm! I had the opportunity to see them twice and this exact lineup at Mr. C’s Rock Palace ( Lowell Massachusetts)on their Chinatown tour. Amazing Show! R. I. P. Phil
Phil Lynot and the band were true rock and roll stars, under appreciated by the public at the time. I saw them open for Queen in Boston in 1976. 2 bands that had their music cut short. But by God I was in heaven that night.
Brilliance..sheer Brilliance!!! Ive seen Lizzy play in my home city of Newcastle Upon Tyne in England, at the City Hall & although not a huge venue.. Bands love playing there as it was built in Victorian times specifically for sound! So it has a quality hard to define but bands say its one of the best places to play because of the sound quality & how it reverberates like a Boomerang Seeing Thin Lizzy play there about 6 times all told & they were even better live than on a recording, just outa this world Phil will never die in the hearts & souls of musicians & fans everywhere... BLISS Cheers 🇬🇧👧🕊
A long ago loss, never forgotten, but a #1 on my list of what was good times, may that fire burn forever. I love turning people on to the thin Lizzy, good bless
Love the song, tune was in my head all weekend, Had to pull it up, now I can't stop watching this phenomenal video, (red & white Converse All-Stars?? Supporters??)
Deep Purple, Thin Lizzy, Blue Oyster Cult ,J.J.Cale and many more were and are the music i grew up with !!TO GARY MOORE>>>love your music ..always have always will..Gary the skys will be crying ,your guitar will be missed but your music will always sound loud and clear in my heart!!!
For years I only knew them for The Boys Are Back in Town - then I got the album Jailbreak and man, did that open my eyes! My last job involved a LOT of driving - I practically wore out their Greatest Hits CD in that time. This and Whiskey in the Jar are my two absolute favorites! It's my great loss to have missed out on this fantastic band for so many years.
Definitely underrated. You request a Thin Lizzy song on the radio (don't specify which) and I'd bet about 99 times out of 100 it would either be The Boys Are Back In Town or Jailbreak because none of their other songs get any play time. I would say in no particular order my favorite 3 Thin Lizzy songs are this one, Whisky in The Jar, and Boys Are Back In Town.
I Seen these guys open up for Queen in Philadelphia, Pa What a GREAT CONCERT For both Bands Thanks for the video The Beatle Man's " A Blast From Your Past " Philadelphia , Pa
@@williamfarmer2348 except for the Journey part cause they are such a pussy band unless it was with Rolie on vocals before the femboy came in and ruined them
I saw him back in Dublin when he was about 15 years old. He was playing with a band called The Black Eagles. He was playing in a shed in front of about 30 people. He was great even then.
I found the Live And Dangerous cd just before Christmas last year and MAN does it ever ROCK/KICK ASS !! It is 1 of the most AWSOME cd's that I own/Know of. It also has interviews with Phil. Got to Love THIN LIZZY!!
The band had it's problems with drugs. Phil, Scott & Brian Robertson but it comes with the territory unfortunitly!!!! But Thin Lizzy will always have a place in HARD ROCK history!!!!! Peace & Love Phil, you'll always be missed!!!
to have heard them is one thing to have seen them perform was another the greatest group never to have been reconised its a farse lizzy will be and always be the greatest band in any era pure rock magic
We are still out here on the trail my friend, some lost, others riding hard. Miss my buddies. Horse is well fed and I got guns on my hips. Never forgotten till the last breath.

The same expérience when i have been a remover.
A lorry,a radio cassette and THIN LIZZY.....back to Dordogne direction bordeaux....
Keep your frickin head up!!
Phil and the band had a way of reaching into you soul pull out your inner “Cool”. They were and will always be “The Boys” who came back to town.
When you wake up in the morning with this guitar riff playing in your head, it's gonna be a good day 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Heaven mate
If you do it right, you're rocking a hangover that would kill most mortal me.
For you, full blast ,loud n Proud.....
Freddie Mercury and Elton John had their bio-movies made and released, when can we expect Phil's? Much deserved!!
Waiting for that movie myself.
He wasn't a butt pirate, so probably never.
@@ghah5701 Can we get a Rob Halford movie then?
RebelSpiritof77 totally different league
@@ghah5701 dumbass
Loved Thin Lizzy since I was 12. 54 now, and will always. RIP, Phillip.
Absolutely on that,all the way.we will always miss the genius
15,47 now.....ditto.
The older I get the more I appreciate this old 70's music. The 70's&80's music will never be matched. We had the best music.
I agree.
This is such an epic version of their classic Cowboy song, Phil had this stage presence which money cannot buy!
This song is in my top 10 of all time! What a great voice he had!
my top ten is about 200 plus many favourites but this one is special .
Happy 73rd birthday Phil Lynot!!!🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿 Getcha Pull 🥃-CHEERS 🍻

Tommylawrence09 just like his idol. So much potential sadly gone too soon

Thin Lizzy was really a very underestimated band..Phil was one of the best bass players to live...and Gary Moore...what else do you need to say..
@@markcoggins9474 they were good long before Gary Moore came along, Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson were pretty good too, same for Eric Bell

damita Smith This is how we met.
The post that started our wonderful and beautiful friendship.
one of the greatest bands ever.
Gorham = Unsung, underrated & VERY enduring, durable & talented guitarist. Cool looking dude, too!
Phil Lynott just had the voice for this song. Hard for any other singer to do it justice. Miss you always, Phil. Taken from us far too young, far too soon. RIP brother. God needed you more.
Snowy White... Such an underrated Guitarist as well as Scott Gorham, That was a legendary line up right here.
Mike Replin Never Underrepresented or under appreciated by anyone with a clue. No disrespect whatsoever. They had some of the best guitarists going!! Still miss Phil. R.I.P. Boss.
Who can forget Gary Moore?

band mastery phil captain = always speaking great words in songs and faith and reality = GOD BLESS REALLY MISSED !
I saw this band 13 times, including 3 nights in a row @ Wembley #legends
Saw them on the Jailbreak tour in the UK! Absolutely brilliant - and that was the seventies when there were so many great bands and concerts! They always stuck in my mind as being up there with the best! So happy I was born when I was!

His voice gives me goosebumps..
I love the "coke nose blow" before he starts singing...beginning of the end I'm afraid. Top 5 rockstar EVER!
They sure are playing at coke speed on this version.. LOL slow it down boys too good of a song to play that fast RIP PHIL love ya brother 👍
Anyone that knew anything about snorting cocaine would know you would never blow your nose.

@@elzorro7of9 it was just dripping out .
as a (trying) recovering junkie i know why we lost him. i just wish he had the support he needed to keep him with us

Ditto Bob...WAS THE BEST...R.I.P. PHIL....NOBODY COULD COME CLOSE TO YOU AND THE BOYS... ONE OF THE BEST CONCERTS EVER...!!!
Absolutly one of the best rock bands of all time.

How beautiful is this jam? Wow.
So beautiful I forgive them for the line about Southern girls all being the same !!! I love these guys ,and this jam is SO perfect !
snottyxraygirl We talk trash about southern girls, and then we fall like a bag rocks for them every time. It's a guy thing.
I'm just gonna say it right now, Happy early Birthday to Phil....R.I.P. BROTHER :)
I saw them in concert. 1977 Uptown Theater Kansas City,Mo.
+SamsGarageSale Uauuuu Sam! Eu iria amar ver eles ao vivo....

aos brazuca na area!
what can i say...thank you..Mo for the music....many nights...on Cherry Hill...
and to girls that danced...
I love this! Always been one of my favorites
Phil plays his bass like a rythem guitar… amazing
The way Rock and Roll is done.
Just a cool song! All these years later it still does it for me!

One of the truly great songs from a truly fantastic band
i didn't know this guys until hear their songs in detroit rock city
movie about 17 years ago, since then thin lizzy became one of my
favorite bands
great band great time
Jailbreak was the first album that I ever bought. The ski jump in the movie Eddie the Eagle reintroduced this song to new generations.
@@teej783 exactly how i got into the jail break album (new abt lizzy before just never really listened to them)
I grew up with Thin Lizzy in my 8 track deck rocking down the highways in a 69 Monaco 500. Drinking beer & living large!
I just listened to this on the radio in the car and had tonlisten to it again.I love this!
RIP Phil - but also props to the entire band whose greatness is often lost in Phil's shadow.
This band was so great and this song is just perfect!
All time favourite band......!!!! Thank you.
Great music, i cant get enough of it. It's just sooo damn goood!
A long ago loss, never forgotten, but a #1 on my list of what was good times, may that fire burn forever. I love turning people on to the thin Lizzy, good bless

Unsung heroes
Brian Downey is by far one of the most under rated drummers of all time. There some insane drum fills in this song. One at 3:39 - 3:40
Underrated Talented Singer in Rocks World ! We missed u Phil ! R I P my friend .
top stuff, saw em in 79 at preston, fav concert by far

Man this song is just so awesomely magical.
Great song & brilliant band.Sadly missed but never forgotten Phil & Gary Moore
Man this Rocks!! Thx for sharing!! Was 12 yrs when I heard he died, my relations jammed to this on their eight tracks....
Phil wrote some great rock songs lizzy one of the best live bands ever love those twin lead guitars thanks for all the wonderful music guys.
Just peerless.....Phil you left too bloody soon . But you are a rock God forever.....
Phil Lynett - R.I.P.!

Thunder and Lightning. Best live album EVER!!!!
Thunder and Lightning isn’t a live album.

Thin Lizzy é simplesmente uma das melhoras bandas de rock de todos os tempos!
tem do o meu apoio
concerteza
Concordo plenamente....
Uma das maiores e mais influentes bandas de Rock de todos os tempos
com certeza meu nobre essa banda é a melhor
Was lucky enough to see them live at Slane Castle many years ago. U2 was the support band.
Phil, man.. Phil, Scott, Brian. The best, just the best. Too good for the hall of fame. I'll keep them to myself.
Saw Phil play live in Bannockburn in 1984, and he was smoking not only musically. His joint fell into his boot and nearly set him on fire.
