Thin Lizzy - Dancing In The Moonlight Reaction

[@Seanadun]

It's one of the most underrated rock bands ever. They're Irish, and Phil Lynott, the wonderful singer, left us too soon. Rip Phil.

[@davidellis5141]

From the excellent Bad Reputation album. Led by the late ( & great ) Phil Lynott this is a classic gem 💎 of a song. A standard at any Irish Pub ! 🍀 ☘️

[@Sandy-dd4le]

I'm not the biggest fan of Rock in some ways, but it's difficult to deny that Thin Lizzy were one of the best to ever exist.

[@paulwells9882]

Right on bud

[@bugsby4663]

I would recommend 'Waiting for an Alibi'. This was the first Lizzy song I heard and is so passionate and romantic.

[@sparenovations7176]

JOHN Earle saxophone played with Graham Parker, Ian Dury, Boom Town Rats and Randy Crawford ect

[@pattyg8464]

A personal favorite song of mine!

[@BernieJames-qd4cv]

Try the title tune from. "Bad Reputation". Thin Lizzy at their best. Met them in 79. Phil Lynot, the Bassman was the most personable. At 6feet, 4in. A giant of a man.

[@shspurs1342]

I can’t remember his name but the sax is played by one of the guys from Supertramp.

[@annepenn8196]

Saw Thin Lizzy live several times they was awesome they rocked the place good memories ❤️

[@lostworldcomics]

Love Thin lizzy, so many great songs :)

[@mightyV444]

That could've also been me who suggested the 'Old Grey Whistle Test' stuff, but I meant the song 'Don't Believe A Word' under the name 'Phil Lynott & Friends' , and one of those friends is Gary Moore 😀 Lovely that you two enjoyed this song as much as you did! 😊👍

[@gvcalcar]

This song is indeed more poppy. I had completely forgotten it was a song from them! Thin Lizzy live is fantastic, more leaning towards hardrock... but all classics: Got To Give It Up, Sun Goes Down, The Rocker, The Emerald, Cold Sweat. Legendary Gary Moore was a friend of Phil Lynott and off and on a member as well. A legendary song of the two together is "Out in the fields". Thanks for reacting.

[@rikardottosson1272]

Sometimes the opening act would have a sax player they would borrow (like John Earle from the Graham Parker band) but they could just do without sax live.

[@colrhodes377]

This is the second time that you've been impressed by Lizzy. 😊 Totally different from, Bad Reputation but just brilliant

[@SPKdesign1]

I don't think they have a bad lp. I particularly like the Eric Bell years.

[@delorangeade]

@@SPKdesign1 Vagabonds of the Western World is a strong contender for Thin Lizzy's best studio album.

[@SPKdesign1]

@@delorangeade Yes and the Jim Fitzpatrick cover artwork is fantastic.

[@stevel2504]

Saw them in 1977 I think on the "live and dangerous" tour, fantastic! Mostly stands the test of time

[@mattjohn4731]

Hey from NM. My hometown is in IL, near where REO Speedwagon came from. In Urbana they have REO Speedwagon Blvd. They are not high on my radar, but they are a local success story. But those 2 cities Urbana and Chmapaign are no joke. U of I is a serious university..

[@stephenleslie5486]

Thin Lizzy Got To Give It Up!

[@miked2445]

My baby boys favorite song!!!! Thank you.

[@markferrett700]

Thin Lizzy were an amazing band,and this is off of their "Bad Reputation " album which is an absolute banger......I'd recommend listening to "Cowboy Song" ......they were such a good rock band with a distinctive duel guitar sound......it amazes me to think that the USA largely ignored them. Don't believe a word is an essential listen.

[@SPKdesign1]

Thin Lizzy are a great band. One of their best tracks, and there are so many great ones, is "Roisin Dubh (Black Rose) A Rock Legend" from the Black Rose LP. If you ever get the option of doing OGWT clips, they are usually of a high quality. Sax was by John Helliwell who did a bit of work with Supertramp. Brian Robertson who also played with Motorhead for a bit was on guitar. I think Toni Visconti did some of the Production on this lp (maybe someone can confirm that).

[@mightyV444]

Only "a bit" of work with Supertramp?! 😄

[@SPKdesign1]

@@mightyV444 I don't know a ton of Supertramp stuff, so that was a guess.

[@SPKdesign1]

@@mightyV444 I was just playing the "Vagabonds Of The Western World" again, I'd forgotten how amazing the studio version of "The Rocker" is.

fantastic track

[@sexpistol7712]

Don't believe a word is a great track . ❤

[@CAdams6398]

About a minute too short though!

[@delorangeade]

Tony Visconti produced this album. John Helliwell from Supertramp played the saxophone. Scott Gorham of Thin Lizzy was the brother-in -law of Bob C. Benburg from Supertramp, so that was the connection. This song always reminds me a little of Spirits in the Night by Bruce Springsteen, and both Springsteen and Phil Lynott drew heavily on Van Morrison for inspiration in their early days. You could continue exploring this Bad Reputation album to get a rounded picture of the band. Opium Trail is a great up-tempo track with a dark message and some great guitar work. Downtown Sundown is a wistful portrait of city life. Dear Lord is a prayer, and Southbound is a very well written melodic ballad.

[@CAdams6398]

"Alive And Dangerous" holds a very special place when it comes to blistering double live albums. Not a wasted note to be found!

[@delorangeade]

@@CAdams6398 It's my favourite album of all time, actually the first I ever bought. Have you heard the original full live sets they recently released? They show just how little work had to be done to make the performances perfect for four sides of vinyl.

[@CAdams6398]

@delorangeade I wasn't aware of the original live sets. Now that i know, i'll be checking them out pronto. Thanks for the tip off!

[@robertbagley9199]

What a band Lizzy were, there's so much for you to delve into, but I'd like to suggest 'Still In Love With You' from the Live and Dangerous album please.

[@thunderspike1892]

The saxophone are done by John Anthony Helliwell also known for Supertramp. On the Live & Dangerous Live version it's John Earle ftom Graham Parker Band. Philip Lynott on bass/vocals, Brian Robertson and Scott Gorham on guitars and Brian Downey on drums. A very underrated drummer

[@sherbert500]

Never really delved into the music of Thin lizzy apart from the obvious, enjoyed this one, nothing to blow your socks off but a solid tune!

[@renecuellar3078]

You can't go wrong with Thin Lizzy. Tied for my number one with UFO.

[@colrhodes377]

This is probably the most played Lizzy song in the UK

[@mightyV444]

It's 'The Boys Are Back In Town' here in NZ. But the first Thin Lizzy thing I'd heard was actually their 'Whiskey In The Jar' version 😊 ...and I've never liked the Metallica one 😏

[@phillipgreen3893]

good to hear the version with the sax, but usually anything by them is much improved when played live the albums were always too quiet, Rosalie, Still in Love With You, Emerald and Don't Believe a Word are all worth a listen, also Thunder and Lightning from their last album is worth listening to as the album sounded more like one of their live performances, I would rate Phil Lynott as my favourite frontman.

[@jdorr64]

John Helliwell : Sax

[@lepantoslim7058]

If you guys ever have a chance, listen to Emerald and Black Rose

[@ghichens3418]

yep !

[@ghichens3418]

Ha ! Glad that you both enjoyed , "Thin Lizzy " are proper awsome , Chris you mentioned a wee while ago about some live Albums that you would like to sample " Live and Dangerous " by the great Thin Lizzy is imo one of the best Live Albums ever recorded , The track you just heard ( well 12 hrs ago ) is a light hearted gem , as tracks such as "Emerald " has the Ace Two lead guitars duelling , which is mind boggling ! Hope to see you enjoying more Thin Lizzy !!! cheers !

[@TheWorldofGood79]

Thin Lizzy are just incredible. This isn't their best by a long way. From the days of Eric Bell to John Sykes via Gary Moore Scott Goram, Brian Robertson, Snowy White, even Midge Ure on guitar & of course Brian Downey on drums & Mr Philip Parris Lynott they rocked until 1983 & their music sounds as good today. You've covered a lot of songs by The Jam & in 1975 The Jam support Thin Lizzy once. It was a very sad day on 4th of Jan 1986 when Phil passed away aged just 36. I have so many Lizzy songs I really like but I think Renegade is really underated & The Sun Goes Down & Got to Give it up are so poiniant.

[@TheMichaelseymour]

quite simply up there with Zepplin purple etc.... EVERYONE should know about lizzy vast catologue I was 13 in1978 when they released the GREATEST double live LP ever made "live & dangerous " (not just my opinion but often a winner in critics polls for best double live LP of all time ) They hit at the perfect time for me to become my FAV band of all time .

[@hanierfamily]

Every song we do makes us want to hear more. That much we know.

[@TheMichaelseymour]

@@hanierfamily wow....thats right...& isnt that the mark of becoming a fan of a band ? I will say this...(& i am sure every lizzy fan would ageree ) Thin Lizzy are one of those bands that you could drop the needle anywhere in the catologue and be assured that the quality rarely drops . They have that ability to be consistently great . A small handful of tracks over the years i dont 100% love - but even those i dont mind ...... Phil Lynott has one the most identifiable voices - like all the greats do

[@CAdams6398]

You'd be hard pushed to find a more consistently brilliant double live album than Thin Lizzy's blinding "Alive And Dangerous" opus!
