These cats were laying it down. Scott was knockin holes in the ground with his fantastic riffs, the band just looks at the top of their game. Another great song in a long line of hits for this band. RIP Gary and Phil.

[@Mindfreak5150]

I'd say they were at the top of their game around 78-ish. Live & Dangerous, Robbo & Gorham were a magical pairing. But I get your point 👍

[@thecarolinashreds196]

Absolutely one of the best bands ever put on this planet !! Phil’s unique vocals and a twin guitar attack. Still get chills listening to this. Unmatched.

RIP Phil Lynott. This 1980 US tour (including this TV performance) would be Thin Lizzy's last visit to the US.

They were in my town, 30 minutes from where I live right now, a few days after this appearance. But I couldn't go because I was ten months old. Such a shitty reason not to have seen them, the one time they came to me! 😅

What a great lineup. Loved Snowy White on guitar 🎸! Saw this tour and show, at Mr. C’s Rock Palace in Lowell Massachusetts. Absolutely Phenomenal Show!!

[@TheHumbuckerboy]

@@Jreb1865 A 57 if my memory serves me. Snowy sold this guitar several years ago for a fortune because sadly he developed a medical condition that prevented him from playing .

[@Jreb1865]

@@TheHumbuckerboy I'm sure he sold it for a wheelbarrow full of money...lol I had to do a double take when I seen it. That's not something you see ever being played on stage... It seems like Snowy White has played with about everyone over the years. Loved his stuff with Pink Floyd.

[@cherylb2008]

That Snowy White!!!! You can hear the essence of Thin Lizzy sound on that guitar 🎸

[@HarrisonFord69]

He's a great guitarist and i think Chinatown was a good album. However I don't really think Thin Lizzy is his wheelhouse.

[@elvinposey5251]

Dec 12 1980 I saw Thin Lizzy at the famous WAREHOUSE in New Orleans on the Chinatown Tour! I always watch live DVD of this version of the band on that day since it's my favorite lineup and albums. They were fantastic the crowd was insane. Phil Lynott was drinking Blue Nun and smoking wacky cigs and Scott had a broken leg! Snowy was playing his gold les paul which I finally got a cheap one myself. Downey of course was killer on drums. It's still my fav concert ever even more than with Moore in 77 opening for Queen. This album was brilliant and Scott and Snowy played some incredible leads and harmonies as they do on this song. I drove by during work and stopped to look in back door and Phil and Scott were there and shocked me by inviting me in to listen to sound check and I got free picks from roadie! I still have them and will never forget it. Thanks Thin Lizzy you still rock!

I may be in the minority, but this is my favorite version of Thin Lizzy, and my favorite album. I'm glad there's great footage of this!

[@BarbieChaite]

it's the studio version...

[@RSBurgener]

@@BarbieChaite you know, I've thought about this. It's really weird seeing these bands pretending to play their songs on these old shows. I guess the record company wants them to sell their *actual* recordings, what you see on TV is exactly what you're buying, eliminate any variance from playing it live. I've seen them split the difference and have maybe a live vocal track. It's no wonder they don't do that anymore, it really doesn't work that well. And I'm sure the musicians hated it!

[@janet.osmonson7451]

Ha,yer right they don't do it anymore...they don't do Anything anymore... Certainly not like Lizzy did...

[@danceccon8469]

I'm with you

​@@danceccon8469they say the band was in decline and under a lot of pressure. I love the frustration in the music. It's relatable to my life! I think they're at their best this way.

[@justluigi2915]

My very first concert as a young teen was Thin Lizzy in St. Louis… must have been around 1978. WOW what a show. Totally blew me away. Live performance of Cowboy Song was amazing! They started the song with the stage black… and Phil in the spotlight, sitting on a wooden stool, wearing a GIANT black sombrero. All you could see of him was his legs and the neck of his bass sticking out. Classic!

[@AFloridaSon]

Whoa, this is incendiary! I was lucky enough to have seen the boys so many times back in the day, with GARY MOORE at the old Swung Auditorium in San Bernadino, and folks, that shed ROCKED HARD, man, those folks out there were full tilt, all day, every day. I saw Lizzy open for QUEEN at the L. A. Forum in 1977, and my respect for QUEEN is right there as they gave Lizzy great sound and lights, Phil and the lads were smoking, and a lot of bands would've been not so generous to another band of Lizzy's caliber, so it speaks highly of Brian/Freddie and the boys. Thanks again to the MIDNIGHT SPECIAL, you folks are making so MANY of us fans of a certain age so very happy, bringing back great times and great bands, the ONLY thing good about BEING a certain age is the memories of these nights in front of the tube waiting for bands like Lizzy to come on and rock our world! Thanks again!

[@js.3490]

Thin Lizzy deserves to be heralded as one of the greatest bands of all time. There is o argument against that statement in my mind. This is a band that has been wronged for decades. They are not one hit wonders, they are absolutely one of the greatest bands to ever walk this Earth.

[@richardmcrandal6696]

Snowy White.....outstanding

[@johnnydeedrummer]

Excellent 🤩 Wish TMS was still live at this point but I’ll take it. 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@marknjp]

I always wonder about the people close to the stage during those lip-synced/canned performances. While I can imagine if the band is (and they almost certainly are) really picking the strings on the guitars and and Lynott and co. are really singing, the volume of the played recording is so loud they can't hear them as long as the performers are careful. But the drummer is really beating on those drums. Can they hear that? Maybe it makes the song sound better? Or not?

[@crusheverything4449]

The studio version of the song is overdubbed after the actual performance, in post-production.

[@brent954]

I’ve just become a Thin Lizzy fan. A little late to the party, but that’s awesome, far out baby! I must have been very busy in my youth to have missed these guys.

[@peterthomas3755]

I understand they're miming and they probably had no choice in the matter. But the song just rocks! Listen to it with good headphones and the live energy is there, not much studio processing. I'm 58, have listened to a lot of rock music and played guitar in covers bands for 40+yrs. I'll never be in the league of these guys but I think Thin Lizzy's Chinatown is the greatest rock song I've heard, I just love it. The drumming is awesome too.

[@aurthurwhiteside]

If u like the drumming on this,U need to hear BAD RUPUTATION from Midnight Special show, it's amazing,he does a drum solo for a minute in a half,its definitely LIVE,hopfully they will post that one soon!

They were miming here!

[@MrManfly]

@@saunds59 if you’re saying it’s lip syncing then no they weren’t

[@stevewheels9773]

​@MrManfly Uumm, watch again closely. There's one point where Philip has his fist in the air yet the bass part is still playing. Happens also when he wipes some sweat from his nose. Also, both solos are spot on, note-for-note. No fluffs or slight deviation from the record. Even the drum sound is exact to the album. Watch the "Jailbreak" or "Don't Believe A Word" performance and listen how the Marshall amps are so loud they're burying the drums! This here? Everything is just too... perfect. I believe this has more to do with The Midnight Special, than the band. It made for quicker change overs between groups. Easy setup and tear down too. This was very late in the run of TMS series. I'm sure Thin Lizzy were not the only ones to suffer this fate. 😢 Despite that, they do put forth an excellent job of 'performing' the song. Probably the most movement I've ever seen out of Snowy, even in actual concert footage!

[@saunds59]

@@MrManfly Absolutely no criticism of the band at all. I saw them live nine times and they remain my all time favourites. Biggest giveaway is their amps are off

You can tell by my Avatar that I love this album. From the moment I first dropped the needle and heard We Will Be Strong, I fell in love with that twin guitar attack. Best album cover ever - spare tire cover on my Bronco and soon to be new ink.

[@johnrosier1686]

Another solid album in a long list of solid albums from this band. I don’t know how they could switch out lead guitarists this often and still put out one great album after another. Why these guys aren’t in the RNRHOF is a good question.

[@dansteely9906]

Cant go wrong with Thin Lizzy. More please.

[@DrummingMan1]

even though that appeared to be lip-synch, you've got to admire the original recording. Bad ass! Downey, top of his game!

[@liamfitzdrums]

I will always argue that Brian Downey is the most underrated drummer of his era. You listen to tunes like Chinatown, Bad Reputation, Emerald, Sha La La and wonder why he doesn't get the love he deserves.

Love Thin Lizzy! For some young & dumb reason they weren’t on my radar back then. Regret not seeing them live, read that Bassist Benjamin Orr of the Cars was a big fan. Very hard to sing lead & play bass together, takes a lot of talent and Phil had ‘it’ in spades. Scott Gorham looks so different with darker~shorter hair almost didn’t think it was him, love his long locks 😋

[@wallofrock6725]

Yes, they ran into some unfortunate problems. Phil got Hepatitis and they wound up cancelling much of the Jailbreak tour. Then I think it was the following tour (Johnny The Fox) when Robbo got into a bad physical fight with someone and messed his hand up. Gary Moore returned and stayed long enough for The Black Rose album, but he didn’t want to be around the drugs, which was starting to take a toll on the band.
