Thin Lizzy -- Bradford 1976 -- Little Girl in Bloom

[@kevinmoore3193]

This isn't a live recording. This is a Peel session. None the less, a great recording of an amazing song. You just cannot beat Lizzy. This is the type of song that will unfortunately never be written again because our children don't seem to have the capacity to take this type of epic masterpiece in. Nowadays it's 3 minute songs with a chorus that, somehow, is being repeated 56 times with in those 3 minutes. what the bejaysus like?

[@mkornacki]

Awesome. I just met Brian and Eric and they regaled me with stories of how they made the first three albums. True legends. RIP Phil.

Beautiful

[@shilohaapala284]

The guitar solo is the best in the history of Rock and Roll!

[@greenmanalishi8766]

Shilo Haapala agree

[@carriedevine8866]

Totally agree its in my top 20 for sure.

[@andrewdelunas5026]

Hear hear!!! I completely agree!!!

[@harrype3283]

Robbo....wonderful

[@MrShadowofthewind]

My favourite Thin Lizzy song ,so touching !

[@buzzbuzzerson3592]

Wow, Robbo and Gorham trading solos on this. I thought Lizzy dropped this from the live set after Eric Bell departed. I'm a huge fan of Robbo and Gorham, but Bell's solo is a masterpiece on this one and can't be can't bettered by even them.

[@thefonzkiss]

Bell’s solo sucks. It’s full of out of key notes. The outro solo is cringeworthy.

[@buzzbuzzerson3592]

@@thefonzkiss I love Bell's solo. Another one I love is on "Whiskey In The Jar."

[@uli3651]

Singing about his mum. Just like Vagabond was 'bout his da. That was his genius. He could go there and then the drugs took over... Love and respect big man.

[@jeremiahwise8040]

Awesome didnt know he played this song post 73. Love u Philip.

[@jeremiahwise8040]

This is indeed one of Eric Bells original masterpieces which i must say i love the first 3 albums as much as any there is a purity within them ( bit of hero and the madman) but this is an essential version of this song and cool to hear the dual songbirds of post 73 jamming to it and also Philip's different vocal style . love it thanks for posting.

[@thinlizzyguide]

These are the coolest photos with Lizzy that I´ve seen for a long time. I´ve seen lots of photos thru the years but these..... What can I say? CLASSIC!!!!!!!! Best wishes from Peter Nielsen

[@thefonzkiss]

Totally mislabeled. It’s not live you can hear two Phil vocal tracks! It’s a 74 radio recording with Gary Moore.

[@matsandersson8857]

This is a BBC session from 1974 with Gary Moore on guitar.

[@harrype3283]

Thank you for posting...never heard that before

[@robertanolan4876]

Masterpiece

[@dr.splifflove-8833]

Loved your work and compilation. Thank you

[@NetFilmMusicDotCom]

Loved it. Great version and just what I was looking for!

[@ThinLizzyLegend]

Thank you so very much a real couple of gems and nice to hear these again ;-)

[@Witlessandtitless]

Thanks Peter. Compliments don't come any better! The music is from "Studio sessions 74"

[@nickfonk]

We absolutely need the Red Hot Chili Peppers to cover this song.

[@dandan5270]

Kinda gives you ‘Hey’ vibes, doesn’t it?

[@tonoman67]

merci beaucoup pour ce bijoux.

[@TisLizzy]

Magic, many thanks for sharing these photo's :)

[@braddock78]

Amo essa música

[@blainebaxter7684]

Great photos so weird seeing Phil with no moustache and robbo with a Flying V guitar

[@Nil_Regretz]

Love the Eric Bell solo - so much sustain, and I prefer this version to the album!

[@charmingferret5916]

Never is this Eric Bell.

[@Kowasi]

@@charmingferret5916 People can get caught out easily with the Thin Lizzy guitarists, eh, even on the album credits sometimes. There's about seven to choose from after all… Mssrs. Bell, Robertson, Gorham, Moore, White and Sykes, plus a few more guesting… Sometimes Mr. Lynott himself even played guitar…

[@AlobytesOgniddove]

[@metalmickey07]

Phil without his tash!

[@mentemalleo]

This is a great recording of one of their best songs. Is there a bootleg of the total recording? The sound is really great. Thanks for posting, Mente et Malleo

[@smallbugsy]

But this song was sung with Eric Bell. Grаham and Robertson came later.Why are Graham and Robertson in the photo and not Bell?

[@fahedhelmi8287]

Does anyone here have another live versions of this song? Maybe with Eric!

[@0211571]

Wow

[@PaddyByrne931]

Class

[@anthonycurrie3522]

Great photos and a great song. I think you need to update the description though as many people, like me, assumed the song was from a 1976 gig in Bradford. I assume the photos are form Bradford and the song is unrelated?

[@ClassicRock1973]

No way this is 1976.

[@tylerrigdon6795]

Great version but not live, you can hear the overdubs. And Phil harmonizing himself. Maybe a radio session

[@wloonie]

Exactly, I was thinking the same. First, the gig is nowhere mentioned and second, Little Girl in Bloom was last performed live in October 1974, on Nightlife tour.

[@Nil_Regretz]

@metalmickey07 ... and Robbo with a Flying Vee...

[@twilightatireland]

1974 with Gary Moore?

[@zoso1980]

No Eric here, thus it just doesn't feel right.

[@felixramosfuentes7136]

Stephanie Sandlin Amazing photos here. It's a BBC recording with Gary Moore on guitar.

[@buzzbuzzerson3592]

@@felixramosfuentes7136 Sure doesn't sound like Gary. I like Eric Bell's solo way better than this.

[@felixramosfuentes7136]

@@buzzbuzzerson3592 Disagree. Two bbc recordings, two different guitar solos. version 1 (1973) with Eric - kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooWkkK19l5h1nrM second half of the solo at 3:40 different that the one on the above video.... version 2 (1974) with Gary - kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXPNfYuDfNmpeqM second half of the solo at 4:05, just the same that the one on here....

[@buzzbuzzerson3592]

@@felixramosfuentes7136 Both videos are unavailable to me. The solos really don't sound like Eric Bell OR Gary Moore to me at all. If that was Gary -- He was having an off night.. lol. He's just too fluent to be noodling around like that.

[@pieterjanoddens]

This sounds more like a BBC radio session (overdubs etc.)

[@dennienormanton4127]

What effects are being used on the solo?

[@matsandersson8857]

It’s a Phaser or maybe a Leslie.
