    The arrangement of this performance sounds much better than the studio version of the song.

    Phil was simply amazing . In his youth and 20's he rocked his ass off . As he aged he his songwriting started to blossom . I wish he could have lived longer cause I can only imagine what he would have created . He was starting to play with other great musicians .

    When Phil Lynott died I was devastated. I still am. He was my Elvis. Rick, you are wonderful. Amazing musician. Of course I will check everything you put up. Big hug and love from Sweden.

    What an eclectic lot, if I didn't know any better I would have thought this was a band of Thin Lizzy, someone from the Village People, a drummer who almost looks like Keith Moon and someone from Kool and the Gang. Fits Lynott perfectly since he versatile with styles and musical genres

    • @polarisrex

      Wow. Drummer is the spittin image of Moon. Good call.

    The highlight of my first “business” trip to Dublin was finding the statue of Phil Lynott. He died way way way too soon but left a legacy of incomparable music.

    Sykes is the man - playing solos in the neck position, and I dug the drummer choking up on the stick in his right hand so much. Bass player knows you can't go wrong with a Ric. Great showing with Phil playing rhythm, too!

    There's no doubt that Phil lived for music

    • @newavatar2947
      @newavatar2947 5 років тому +3

      Yes that second album was an all around really good record. The songs flowed together beautifully. The song "Together" should have been a U.S hit over here.

    Tony Ashton's piano behind phil lynotts vocals and john Sykes guitar is pure gold and then Rick and John's solo at the end 🔥

  • @vc-nn4sy
    @vc-nn4sy 5 років тому +17

    John is one of my all time faves..my only complaint is that he gets a little carried away with the squeals...I think Phil kept that in check (also that i wish he'd get his ass on the road again :) )

  • @daveyoung7523

    always loved Phil and Rick. Never knew what a character Wakeman was until I began seeing videos where he ad libs and shares stuff with the audience. Miss Phil a lot, but glad the Wakemeister is still with us.

  • @tg2923

    Insane song, love this gem, so cool, the beat is so catchy and Sykes solo, fabulous as usual and Ricks keyboard solo just marvellous and then the exchange between him and Sykes, breathtaking.....off course Phil is the glue that puts it all together

    I saw Thin Lizzy play live twice way back when, and Phil Lynott was a great showman and a great musician. I don’t know who’s thumbed down this video but I suspect that they’re fans of Stormzy.

    One of my favorite videos on UA-cam. Love the shred-fest between Rick and John at the end. But without Phil's groove it wouldn't have been as great. Perfection... all of it.

    Rick, allow me.....a LONG time fan from your brilliant Yes days......to state the obvious. You're a freakin' musical genius. Thanks for the amazing post. Watching you and the ridiculously under-appreciated John Sykes trading licks was a thing of beauty.
