Thin Lizzy - The Rocker (Berlin 18-09-1973)

I'm a rocker!

[@gentle4u]

Thumbs up if this still rocks in 2024!!!!!!!!

[@gelsol]

Everyone killed it, but cheers to Eric Bell. Dude slays.

[@MalevoenceRecords1]

Not 1 bad guitarist ever in Thin Lizzy, all very underated, but none have been able to duplicate Eric's original version; sound, solo, structure, style.

[@tonyquinlan7341]

That's a fact and I've heard so many versions of whiskey in the jar Eric Bells is the best by far,and Black Boys on the Corner ,stunning guitar work.🎉

[@johnnyandluther]

This lineup was😊

[@gmoney66]

Criminally under-rated band.

[@lanarey2669]

OhmyGAWD. Definitely REDICULOUSLY UNDERRATED!!!!

[@SassaFrass28]

They were big back in the day. 80’s new wave eclipsed rock.

[@dontsaythetruthytwillkillu5784]

Underrated by whom exactly? I love them. They are the best hard rock band of the seventies. I could care less if anyone else recognizes the greatness that is Thin Lizzy.

[@errikartazuri5651]

Is very famous in all the world of rock.

[@jesusrocknroller6805]

ERIC BELL - WHAT AN UNDERRATED SENSATIONAL GUITARIST!!!

[@SassaFrass28]

Yes. One of the best guitarists ever. Better than most well knowns.

[@blainebaxter7684]

Eric bell is such a guitar wizard one of my favourites love the imagination he puts into his playing and the sounds he gets out of minimal gear true master of the instrument

[@magicalex2007]

Wow. This takes me back. Saw Thin Lizzy several times during the Eric Bell days (and before Whisky in the Jar) Truly excellent band. Wish I could go back there. Brian Downey and Phil Lynott were one of the best rhythm sections I've ever had the pleasure of seeing. I'm still a Lizzy fan. Thanks for posting this vid.

[@zibberebbiz]

What I'd give to teleport back in time and see one of the jams from the Eric era! Longer tracks like Funky Nomadic Tribes must have been especially groovy live

[@samandjennysambrook]

@@zibberebbiz take me along with you...I fuckin hate the world today...🎶🎸👍

[@hmk8996]

Bell’s solo is epic!

[@williamsomerville-tu9nf]

First time I've heard this version it' s bloody good.

[@mattjshannon]

I've always said if Jimi Hendrix ever picked up a bass this is what is would sound like--he was way ahead, not many bassists could sing and play that good--no one has, or will, touch Phil.

[@cesirwin1973]

phil?

[@kforcer]

@@cesirwin1973 Phil Lynott?

[@paulchristopher2135]

Great front man, super musicians, tight sound, great tunes. The whole package.

[@kevinhanson2525]

I have always thought the studio version of this was way ahead of its time with Mr. Bell, he absolutely owns this track but have never seen any footage like this! This is incredible to see, thank you for posting.

[@notanfningain]

Camera man filming other camera crew and the rafters when all I really want to see is the band and Bell's brilliant solo.

[@iancarroll1246]

That’s the director’s fault, calling shots in the booth under the influence of some heavy chemicals. Wretched!

[@markovisic7244]

Phil and Lemmy! Great bass players!

[@KingMob.]

They put Ireland 🇮🇪 on the map, musically. Everyone loved Phil Lynott up and down the country for his modesty and talent... Sadly missed.

[@antoinettevambe5714]

He seemed like such a modest man ❤

[@j.w.4514]

🇮🇪Rory Gallagher just entered the chat

[@shredlepzin1654]

Wow! One of the greatest bands ever, Eric Bell kills it here, great sound quality, thanks for posting the video!

[@alancanham2956]

This surely the best version?? Eric Bell OWNS this track!!

[@i94yeh2p]

I didn't know Phil was playing Rickenbackers back then. I still can't afford one but I heard the action on those are insane. Great song, great band.

[@bwho]

That's a funky way ta want out. The guy's awesome. Listen ta this guitar solo! ROCK AND ROLL!!!!!

[@winslowredcross2835]

Great band from the very start!! Eric Bell was so amazing on guitar.

[@johnrosier1686]

The early days of these Irish Rockers!

[@paulandalex55555]

Eric Bell such an underrated guitarist,..... what a solo

[@johnfogarty7527]

Great song 🎶 god bless you Phil 🙏🏼

[@pacopacorro2046]

En mi opinión,el mejor guitarrista que tuvo la banda,los comienzos de Thin Lizzy estaban lejos de definir su sonido,pero fueron esos tres primeros lp's,los más creativos de su historia.

[@TheRockerxx69]

Amazing! I was taken by them around this time

[@lerxstfan1]

Great sound and not a valve in sight! 100w transistor HH heads and a Colorsound Overdriver and a wah pedal, and a pure genius on the guitar. I cut my teeth on Lizzy mk2 (Robbo and Scott), great band, but I listen more to the original 3 piece now, much more inventive back then.

[@nimusworks5475]

Fav Solo of all times

[@faoilann]

Totally...he's absolutley a legend and a seriously under-rated guitarist...

[@MizzawahWorld]

Eric still gets it done....he guested on Gary Moore's tribute to Phil about 5 yrs ago...good stuff

[@misterbonzoid5623]

Rockpalast is the best German channel for film of these classics. Teenage audiences still motionless though - white and uptight (like me!), even for geniuses like Wire.

[@samandjennysambrook]

Go Eric go! What a player❤🎸🎼

[@xeractus]

Rrrrrrrrrrrockeerrrrrr!!! =D One of the best guitar solos of all time. Yeah, I said it.

[@twilightatireland]

Great to see Phil really getting into playing the bass.

[@billybroderick1657]

love this....never ages...christ what a fucking miss..PHIL.... LONG LIVE THE MUSIC ...PHILO........

[@dodibenabba1378]

This song always kicked ass, check out live and dangerous version...

[@chrisbarlow2131]

Eric def had his place in the history of Thin Lizzy. They wrote some brilliant stuff with him. Remembering - Mama Nature Say - Hero & The Mad Man - Vagabonds of The Western World. Sitamoia. Randalph's Tango. Little Darlin'. He was a class act. I loved Scott and Robbo too. Best hard rock band ever by a country mile. UFO? Judas Priest etc? Don't make me laugh!

[@TonyCota]

Raw and gritty. Love it! Audience is in Shock!!

[@korrayls]

wish I was born back then...the world was blessed when Lizzy were around

[@Glen694u]

Doh ! I was talking about even Brian DOWNEY (Thin Lizzy drummer - in case you didn't know !) being drowned out by Gary Moore ! As well as drowning out Scott . Yes , apologies for cocking up his name - I was suffering with the flu at the time and could hardly see the monitor - lol ! I was also talking about the Robertson/Gorham lineup(Brian/Scott) being the best lineup apart from the Eric Bell years actually. Many thanks to ICETERICIA for putting this brilliant video on KZbin - GR8 stuff !

[@jamesbradshaw3389]

Phil Lynott, he was The Rocker he was also was the greatest rocking, songwriter, wordsmith, leader of the band, storyteller and singer of all times, Thin Lizzy was the very greatest rocking band this took to any stage on Gods green earth, I say that this is true because by 6 brothers witness this with own eyes many many many times at Thin Lizzy gigs and concerts all over those lands. I still miss Phil Lynott and Thin Lizzy and will do for evermore even if I live for 375 more years

[@stevemccart9109]

got to see thin Lizzie when in high school at the old Santa Monica civic auditorium. they had a lot of great bands in the 70s

[@pewsterbaby]

Yes, lotta Don Kirschner's Rock Concert epis

Brian Downey on drums - massive!

[@terrier53]

Eric Bell is an incredible guitarist.

[@themadnessofcrum6971]

F**KIN HELL!, YAS!........what a band they were man, I love that 3 piece, they were outstanding man, Brian Downey, OOOOOFT!, superb, Eric Bell, a cosmic irish blues man, and Phillo, jeezuz, a poet, frontman, incredible bass player and lyricist, BOOM!.

[@stratman471]

wow. Phil on a Rickenbacker. Never seen that before. Thanks for posting.

[@pageisarockgod]

one of the top classic rock bands RIP Phil

[@DIOFan92]

One of my fauvorites from Lizzys early days. Solo is great and very hard.

[@rompan1]

Thank you Ana for deliviring this good stuff :-)

[@BoxTunnel]

Eric Bell, awesome! Phil Lynott, words haven't been made yet.

[@B0rnles13]

This is a brilliant version, never heard it before. There's a similar video of them doing Whisky In The Jar and Phill is playing a Telecaster

[@malcolmlilley]

For more fabulous Eric Bell guitar playing,have a listen to the solo on" Little Girl in Bloom" from the Vagabond´s album.

[@carlryder4583]

Agree mate, What a song

[@bkuzzz]

The solo from "The Hero and the Madman" is also awesome

[@bmejia188]

Carl Ryder ok I hear you but come on the solo for hero and the madman was M E S M E R I Z I N GG

[@AlobytesOgniddove]

Eric is too GREAT!

[@flooberbloob]

I still play Little Girl a few times a week just for Eric's outro solo. Mesmerizing. Vastly underrated and totally unique guitarist

[@unsandpiper]

holy shit people...this is a rock n roll show...WAKE UP!!!

[@wendellgee1985]

Best TL song ever ... thanks for the upload.

[@dennisdevine3382]

One hard rockin, fanny kicking band. This song is the bomb.

[@VilleMaunu]

Agree Dennis...

[@garyjungmann]

Haha. "fanny kicking band." Phil would have loved that description. In Ireland and the UK, we use the word fanny the way Americans use the word pussy. Never as ass.

[@MrSadsack56]

Bell slaughters everyone here.. just freaking awesome.. wish there had been a bell/moore band !!

[@rrrnigth8030]

Sensacional fantastico clássico puro 😎🎸👏👍🇧🇷

[@Pigeon55]

In my opinion the best Lizzy line up,saw them around this time in the UK,They usually threw in a Hendrix tribute too,awesome

[@marcelobalbino7968]

Phil , o Hendrix do contrabaixo ! 🎸🎸🎸🎸✊✊✊

[@TheGreatAlan75]

Ana, you are great. "Vagabonds of the Western World" is my favorite album of all time . the title track is my favorite song of all time.

brilliant - saw them a few months before this at Sunderland Mecca - what a gig!

[@rompan1]

Never seen this tape. I love it :-)

[@epajanssen]

This is fantastic. The band is truly rocking. What an immensive power playing by Bell... I saw the other video's on youtube earlier, but later they were removed. Please upload them again! There is so little known about these early Lizzy gigs... this is about the only video of Lizzy with Eric Bell!

[@bluesboy68]

Priceless!

[@johnnymoto77]

Fecking superb

[@Nk-zd3xj]

Git it! Love this edit of this performance. I had only seen the grainy one with the ”zombie” audience shots.

[@mudpappy]

The camera angles were more focused on the ART logo, crane shots, and bored footage of audience members than of the band itself. I would have preferred a close-up of Eric's guitar solo instead of a view of the lighting rig...

[@bazzbling1]

i worked with Eric on the 20th vibefor philo whata gentleman! i was using a gitane Django reinhehart copy guitar. after the gig in Dublin, he asked if he could have a go and the Bugger can play Django stuff too! only guy to play with Jimi Hendrix's bass player and drummer UNDERATED? not by me!!!! what a great clip warts and all what an honour to play Whiskey in the jar with him at SLATTERYS on capel st

[@aboutthemetal8783]

These would absolutely be absolute legendary giants in their own life time if Phil hadn't of overdosed and died, Can you imagine how massive they would be if they were around today (this original line up), I think they would be up there with the likes of purple and the like.

[@trenthutcheson2587]

This is freaking the most so good

Phil is a legend! And probably the greatest fucking rocker ever!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@CaptDavyJones]

A true gem !!!.....what else can one say.

[@turloughsmith3948]

It sparkles, doesn't it? So many rock bands are effected by the Sabbath effect for the last two decades. The 70's were vibrant with what was coming through. No doubt about it.

[@Neptuneman07]

Great live performance, its a shame that the audience isn't Rockin' to the Rockers.

[@bisquik3006]

Very, very underrated band. If you are a Rock N' Roll fan, and you own no Thin Lizzy.........Well, step back and ask yourself "why"?

[@scottgorham3809]

Eric just kicks ass.

[@duffelear]

he's elegance when he plays that guitar!!!! he was perfect (the songs still are)

[@gialla111]

Thin Lizzy,a band that's really under the radar which is a shame since they're so awesome.

She just looked at me and rolled them big eyes And said "Ooh I'd do anything for you 'cause you're a rocker" That's right I'm a rocker I love to rock and roll I get my records from the Rock On stall Sweet rock and roll Teddy boy, he's got them all
