Sha La La - Thin Lizzy, 1975

Recorded at the National Stadium in Dublin on 10 December 1975 ‘On Stage At The Stadium’ features rock band Thin Lizzy with the line-up of Phil Lynott on bass and vocals, Brian Downey on drums and dual lead guitarists Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson.
The band perform ‘Sha La La’ from their 1974 album ‘Nightlife’. The song is written by Phil Lynott and Brian Downey of whom Lynott says
I happen to believe very sincerely that this fella is one of the best drummers about.
Downey then lives up to his reputation with some tour de force drumming, to the obvious delight of an air-drumming audience member. During the performance, Lynott dons a wolfman mask and channelling his inner Elvis Presley feigns a collapse and is taken off stage by a roadie.
As the band segue from ‘Sha La La’ into the next number, Lynott asks the bouncers to relax their control of the seated audience.
Leave them enjoy themselves, if they wanna stand up, let them stand up.
‘On Stage at the Stadium: Thin Lizzy’ was broadcast on 12 July 1976. The first part of this concert was broadcast on 21 January 1976.

The Live and Dangerous version is my fave track on that monumental live album. The band was never tighter.

Phil SeXy 🕶🏆

[@ColtraneTaylor]

Why was Phil dragged out?

[@stewart_fisher]

most likely because he was drugged out. poor guy had a heroin addiction that was sadly the death of him

[@ColtraneTaylor]

@@stewart_fisher Why would he collapse for a minute or so? He was really up before and after. It looks like some stage gimmick, mask and all.

[@paulknobloch3440]

He's riffing on the whole James Brown thing, where JB collapses at the end of "Please, Please, Please" and is helped offstage while someone drapes a cape over him. It's an obvious reference to that moment. I know about Phil's dope use, but I don't think he's high at all. Just stagemanship. @@ColtraneTaylor

[@bryemycaz]

Stage act. James Brown used to do similar.

[@ColtraneTaylor]

@@bryemycaz Doesn't look very cool imo.
