Greatest Hard Rock Band on earth...

[@lourenzi8820]

This is one the most underrated bands in music history. Long live Phil. Keep going. Extensive library of great music. Try Honesty is No Excuse.

[@seandoyle2983]

A marvelous song.

[@MrThumbs63]

Such a great song. We took music back then for granted.

[@FinMckee]

To hear this song for the first time again would be gold

[@joelmastrobattisto422]

This is one of my all-time favorite rock ‘n’ roll bands, Phil Lynott is a genius

[@wilks6]

Such a great band. They had a few different members over the years, but Phil Lynott (singer/bass) & Brian Downey (drums) remained throughout. Clever songwriting with Phil's penchant for poetry produced some classic rock of the era. The Cowboy Song, Cold Sweat, Still In Love With You, Are You Ready, The Rocker, Roisin Dubh (The Black Rose) to name a few.

[@jurgenschmidt2759]

Not to forget Jailbreak and Whiskey in the Jar

[@OzarkTroutBum]

mmmmmm Cowboy Song..........

[@Seanadun]

Irish band, my favourite. Phil was such a superstar. Thin Lizzy is such an underrated band. Phil passed in 1986.

[@rogerbillings5081]

Phil Lynott wrote great songs as well as being Thin Lizzy's charismatic front man. "Sarah" a song his new born daughter is wonderful.

[@JohnProph]

lesser known song of theirs but still awesome. Phil had so much soul and street savvy. Amazing lyricist too

[@JulioLeonFandinho]

"lesser known song" literally, one of their best known songs 🤦

[@JohnProph]

@@JulioLeonFandinho nah. Boys are Back, obviously, Jailbreak, and maybe Cowboy Song are about the only ones ever played on the radio. Never heard this on the radio once. Anyway...

[@JulioLeonFandinho]

@@JohnProph there you are, you didn't hear it on the radio so it's lesser known 🤦 maybe that day you should've turned on the radio, pal, because it was a single from the Bad Reputation album and a hit, it's in every recopilation and every live album and so on

[@JohnProph]

@@JulioLeonFandinho go ask rock fans to name 5 thin lizzy songs and see if "Dancing" is mentioned then get back to me. but u go on believing whatever u want lol. In any case, not worth wasting more time talking about. Peace

[@JulioLeonFandinho]

@@JohnProph I don't believe anything, it's a fucking objective fact, If you didn't know the song like anyone else it's your problem... The song was a hit, at least in Europe, check the lists of its time. Thin Lizzy is in general a lesser known band in America, which I don't fucking care because I'm not an american and rock music is not just an american thing, there's life out of american rock, like this very well known song. Now you turn passive aggressive because you don't know a shit about it? deal with your own ignorance, which is yours, but not mine or any other Thin Lizzy fan... you know? you're not the unit of measurement for anything. School yourself and be humble

[@miked2445]

This is the first song, out of 25 different selections, my youngest boy ever showed a physical reaction to. I cant hear it without feeling his face against my neck. Its his band now and at 1 and a half years, hes well on his way to becoming an enthusiastic percussionist. The world aint ready for my little chubby cheeked Victorino.😁😁😁

[@blackbearbear9313]

Phil was a beautiful person miss him and his music talent

[@waynemitchel212]

Great band and great fun song...... Love Thin Lizzy.... gotta listen to The Boys Are Back In Town..... great reaction..... thank you Angela !!!

[@bwana-ma-coo-bah425]

took a girl to see Thin Lizzy. Her first rock show. She still talks about it today as the best rock show she has ever seen.

[@theivory1]

They have so many great songs.

[@GR65330]

I had frogotten about this song until now. I'll be putting it on my play list.

[@delorangeade]

One of Thin Lizzy's best songs. A top twenty hit in the UK where the band was very successful and influential. Very influential as well on the next generation of American rock bands, although the public at large didn't really get it.

[@danielolson5378]

They never really got a bigger breakthrough in America for various reasons although Boys Are Back In Town became a minor hit in America. Here in Sweden they were very popular and played at sold out venues.

[@nighttime-mime]

[@robertfraser845]

we need this music and bands back

[@kjam4236]

A great song by Thin Lizzy... Rest in Heaven "Phil Lynott" gone too soon!

[@davids5336]

Another new to me song! It had a jazzy, bluesie vibe to it! Another Dancing In The Moonlight song is one performed by Key Harvest I think his name is! This is a groovy tune!

[@GregIsAFan]

King Harvest.

[@salsonny]

Phil , the lead singer spoke with an Irish brogue, the Band is from Ireland

[@AW11-e4h]

Thin Lizzy is Rock royalty 🤘🤘

[@quicktastic]

Loved it.

[@batnall66]

I think John Helliwell from Supertramp played the sax on this song.

[@SonicProfessor_a.k.a._T._Andra]

Thin Lizzy are KINGS! The Bass player & lead-vocalist is: Phil Lynott [Philip Parris Lynott]. The band are from Dublin, Ireland (so don't let any noob come telling you that: "...U2 are 'responsible' for ...Irish rock..." or something 🤦). This band had a brilliant career, influenced hundreds of other musicians. And wrote SPECTACULAR music, together! Legendary Guitarist, Gary Moore, was a long-time friend & a song-writing partner of Phil Lynott's. Moore even spent a short span of time in Thin Lizzy (the only album he is on is: Black Rose: A Rock Legend (generally, just referred to as: "Black Rose"). [also employing the Gaelic: "Roisin Dubh" in the title song 👍👍] Some more songs by Thin Lizzy for you to check-out!: "Angel From The Coast"; "It's Only Money"; "She Knows"; "Showdown"; "Sha-La-La"; "Fight Or Fall"; "Fighting My Way Back"; "Don't Believe A Word" (the wordplay/intentional ...nebulousness ... ambiguity, indistinction, through juxtaposition, here is, just, ...pheww!🤘🤘) "Silver Dollar" "Freedom Song" "Sarah" (-The one from 1979 [The Black Rose album]-NOT the earlier one! (Yes. Thin Lizzy have 2, different, songs with the exact, same title.)) "Sweet Marie"; "Old Flame"; "Johnny The Fox Meets Jimmy The Weed"; "Ballad Of A Hard Man"; "Borderline"; "Spirit Slips Away"; "Southbound"; "Bad Reputation"; "Chinatown"; "Cold Sweat" "This Is The One"; "Fats"; "Mexican Blood"; "We Will Be Strong"; "Cruising In The Lizzymobile" [IF you can find it!!🤘🤘] All 🔥🔥🔥🔥 [in their own manner.]🤘🤘 (No. Those aren't "all of them"😝😋 ...There are more. 🤘🤘)

[@GinMae]

Thanks, DayOne! Thin Lizzy were awesome - was privileged to see them back up Queen (1978 - I was a teenager fan of Queen - never got over that) -- they were amazing, though, especially lead singer/bassist Phil Lynott - he was magnetic... they have other hits in the U.S. - most known for "The Boys are Back in Town" and "Jailbreak" - most Americans don't realize they are an IRISH band... (RIP Phil) --

[@danielolson5378]

Speaking of Jailbreak Lizzy did a tour with Journey as a opening/supporting act and Journey's guitarist Neal Schon wrote a song that cleary has some Jailbreak vibes and he's not denying it and said in an interview "what can i say, i was inspired"!

[@GinMae]

@@danielolson5378 Interesting, Daniel - thanks!

[@janechapman6448]

Love Phil Lynott and great band

[@stephenleslie5486]

One of my favorites from THIN LIZZY.

[@karentaylor3940]

Saw them live a few times in Leicester. Got to go back stage too.

[@shspurs1342]

It was the Sax player from Supertramp.

[@danielolson5378]

In many of his songs Phil was describing his own life like in this one how he was out partying all night! In other songs he tells us about his struggle with alcohol, faith in God. He was as much of a poet as a songwriter or rockstar if you will.

[@guitarman8462]

There's also : Whiskey In A Jar - The Boys Are Back In Town - Jailbreak

[@robinabbott5781]

Also the great sax player John Earle from the Graham parker band

[@indymaiden9426]

“Triumph, Hold On” please…

[@ronpaul1082]

Sade covered a thin lizzy song called Still in Love with You . Both versions are great .

[@mztweety1374]

We lost two amazing bassists in 1986 ..Phil Lynott, and Cliff Burton🎸🎸🤟🏾🤟🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾

[@jono.pom-downunder]

Our strut music you could really get your swagger on with thin Lizzy

[@Tiger-fq1rw]

Live version of this song is sooooooooooo much better from their "Live and Dangerous" album. A very underrated live album for sure!

[@danielolson5378]

It's one of the best live albums ever imo!!

[@garytaylor6408]

Phil Lynott an Irish legend

[@scottyhotty1003]

This isnt the song i thought the title stated must be another group I'm thinking of. Boys are back in town is Thin Lizzys best song in my opinion!! 🎶🔥♥️

[@CharlieJ69]

I often think of King Harvest's song of the same name when I see this title. This is a good song too, but yea Boys are Back is probably their best song

[@SonicProfessor_a.k.a._T._Andra]

You are likely thinking of King Harvest (a band from Ithaca, N.Y., who, somehow, re-formed in France). King Harvest had a hit in '72 with a song called "Dancing In The Moonlight" (Actually, a cover of a song, written and recorded by the older brother of one of the members of: King Harvest, with his band.) The band Toploader did, what *I* consider, the BETTER cover of that song (w/a slightly "modern" feel), in ...I think it was 🤷🤷2000? (maybe '99, or '01 🤷 -somewhere in that window.)). -The FULL, written, title of the THIN LIZZY song is: "Dancin' In The Moonlight (It's Caught Me In Its Spotlight)" -but people are too lazy 🙄🙄🤦 --And, NO! ...while "The Boys Are Back In Town" is THIN LIZZY's most POPULAR song (and that ENTIRE album: JAILBREAK, is end-to-end, from before the first note to well after the last!!!! 🤘🤘: PERFECT! PURE!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥), it is NOT "their best" (as if any, truly, GREAT band (or even a DECENT one!!) could have a SINGLE, "BEST" song! -PFHAHHH!!! THAT would be ridiculous! - No: they have tens-and-tens🤘🤘!). Don't get it twisted: I love "The Boys Are Back In Town" but the two commenters, here are ONLY saying that because that is the only Thin Lizzy song (or, maybe, like 🤷🤷 ...one of ...3 ? 4? -If we're lucky!) they, actually, know! THIS band [THIN LIZZY] influenced EVERY dual guitar band, from after 1974. All of the '80s bands you can think of with "guitar teams" [Def Leppard, Iron Maiden, Ratt, Scorpions, Queensrÿche, Tesla, the '80s Whitesnake, Skid Row, Guns n' Hoseheads ... maybe even Metallica (🤷 -I've never heard any of them mention it, but every NWoBHM band that they cribbed from or admired, claim a debt to: Thin Lizzy. Without any doubt.). Most Thrash Bands had a dual guitar team.] inherited that idea and part of the sound they were going for, directly or indirectly, from: Thin Lizzy. [Judas Priest are the only 2-guitar team that, slightly, pre-dates Lizzy (or are concurrent with them).]

[@tedcole9936]

@@SonicProfessor_a.k.a._T._Andra ok, thanks, I love your passion level and the knowledge sharing. Well spoken. I’m one of those who knows the King Harvest track, had never heard this Thin Lizzie track… if you don’t already know, this channel of Angela’s is quite open to lesser-known tracks and artists, which I really appreciate. I asked her once if she preferred requests for ‘popular tracks’ or ‘quality tracks’ and she said quality. So we get a mix of nostalgia and learning new (to us) stuff, which is good, which I think is the perfect mix.

Thin Lizzy spends time with The Boss on this one. Pause and you might mistake it for "Spirit In The Night" or "The Fever".

I'd love to see your reaction to 'Still in love with you' from the live and dangerous album Angela.

Wait, is this the same song from King Harvest??? If so, who released the original, I love King Harvest’s version but this is damn good

One of my favorites! I wonder if you would like Cowboy Song. It’s kind of a guy thang. Btw looking so cute Angela.

[@dennytaylor1005]

Great band. There's some argument about how good Phil Lynott was as a bassist ... but in my mind he was pretty damned awesome. I had always wanted to see Thin Lizzy perform, but sadly, Phil died much too early and the band faded away.

[@pauljensen9678]

You're right...Phil could play. The bass line in this tune, especially towards the end proves it. So many awesome Lynott bass parts to choose from - "Opium Trail" and "Emerald" come to mind.

[@_eclipz_]

Love this song, love Phil. Taken from us waaaay too soon.

[@FoamySlobbers]

how about some Kansas - people of the south wind.

Cool how you home in on Phil Lynott’s soulful voice. He wasn’t here very long. This is not their most famous song ~

[@gsprings43]

[@kenrock8692]

my favorite band. whoever recommended this one must not like them much. this is far from the best they have, and this version kinda stinks as well. If the song is on the "Live nd Dangerous" album (it is), always defer to that version.

Hi Ms. D., I am old, but I think there is a better version of this song out there, to me.. ♠W.G.

The saxophone lets it down. it is a beginners sound. Same with Sade, sax player very poor. You got a lot of that in the 70s ad 80s

[@shspurs1342]

Couldn’t disagree more. Because i love the sound of the Sax on this track. Plus love the sax sound on Sade songs.
