Thin Lizzy - Emerald

Clip from Live & Dangerous

[@FrederickThePie]

Brian Downey has to be one of the most underrated drummers in rock, he always does a fantastic job with Lizzy. And I love Phil's bass tone, and his VOICE. ♥ And the twin lead guitars, and the solo, and I LOVE THIS BAND FAR TOO MUCH ♥ ♥ ♥

[@IamRockDemon]

Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson is the most dynamic guitar duo ever in a single band. They are superb. Unbelievable energy.

[@NatashasTheory]

This song is just completely epic. Incredible vocals, guitars, bass and drums. Can't get any better than Thin Lizzy.

[@LazarusStirs]

I just discoverd Thin Lizzy today, previously having only heard of them. Holy Shit. This song is epic. Why the hell doesn't this band get more recognition? This is as good as anything I've heard .

[@THUDTP]

Lizzy is the greatest and most underrated band ever! They were so ahead of their time. They've influenced so many bands. Listen to what they did and when they did it. From the land of great music even many Irish people think they're 1 of the best if not the best. Happy St. Patrick's Day 2011.

[@lawrenceshearer6490]

I agree...why o why are they not I the Rock Hall of fame...????

[@lafingguy45]

Listening to this on March 17th 2024. Happy St. Patricks day all !

[@0211571]

R and r hall of shame

[@ianmac795]

Emerald. Probably the greatest ever Lizzy song for my money, and I never tire of listening or watching Live & Dangerous. \m/

[@Cornuelez13]

This is just amazing! Iron maiden can attribute almost 5 songs off their first two albums to this song alone.

[@azrocker666]

Love Thin Lizzy! The best live song ever! Brian Robertson totally shreds the solo like no other!! Miss your voice Phil. There is no one else like you!!

[@diemutha666]

Phil wailing and playing like the God that he is!!!!What a band Lizzy was...

[@jaygeon2610]

Brian Robertson!

[@Cinemagoer_64]

Jay Geon I heard that!!!

[@THUDTP]

Simply the BEST and most underrated band ever!! They were so ahead of their time! Classic rock!!

[@TheWeeBaldyBiker]

One of the best bands of all-time

[@0211571]

The best band ever

[@blueshound611]

one of there greatest songs ever

[@DougSConfederateHammer]

'70's music is soooooo much better than the crrrap that's on the radio nowadays.

[@kikoking98]

years ago i was surrounded by a world dictated by pop and bassline and whatever but then one day the god of rock saved me from that travesty THANK YOU LONG LIVE ROCK!!!!!!!!!!

[@zerocool200200]

One of the greatest bands ever, no question, RIP Phil, we miss you xxxxxxxxx

[@Yellowrose71]

I love this song. That bass line is awesome. Love Phil!!!

[@ogrebattle22763]

props to the guy who entered this video, i wish they would release live & dangerous here in the states but of course not these record exec's have to play games, but this is an excellent song & this was thin lizzy at their very best, long live phil lynott, the guy was an excellent musician, song writer bass player singer he did it all, he went way before his time, he lived the rock n roll life & paid the price - i miss this guy man... hails to thin lizzy & phil lynott..

[@laukikok]

"emerald" is one of the best songs(2nd) i´ve ever heard. It´s an animal. "Black rose" does top it and makes peace - ingeniously. So done on the album "Life/live"(1983 or ...4) unreachible...

[@djosullivan]

Greatest Lizzy song ever,Greatest Band ever! R.I.P Phil we miss you :(

[@leestones6311]

Robbo and gorham the best guitar line up ever it takes sum beating

[@redpepperprepper2557]

NO SORRY GARY MOORE AND SCOTT GORHAM FOR ME ..... SYDNEY 1978 OPERA HOUSE. RESPECT.

[@mycal64]

Agreed! Saw them at least 6 or 7 times in the 70s and 80s and this was by far the best line-up.

[@asphaultsurprise]

I love Thin Lizzy. One of my favorite songs of all time.

[@toppercullen]

A brilliant band, with a brilliant lead singer, I saw them at the King`s Hall in Belfast on the Thunder and Lightning tour, they were awsome live. This is one of my favouite tracks

[@ChimeraAZ]

Its sooo cool to see all the Thin Lizzy videos here on KZbin! Just clock on any of em and you're back in time with Phil and the boys!! WooHoo!!

[@Shadowplay95]

Fantastic memories, saw Lizzy twice, Renegade tour and one other (cant remember) and saw Phil's solo tour around Ireland (Solo in Soho). My uncle built the stage for Solo In Soho tour and i got up close and personal with Phil, i have some great photos from that time.

[@vandertitra]

The best... I'm talking this from Brazil... and I loved this band...

[@thinsnake]

Freaking Awesome, reminds me of young, free and no responsibilities!! Never been to a gig like it to this day and seen them all!!!!!!!!!

[@MichaelHill-o4t]

LIVING THE DREAM WATCHING THIS AMAZING FILM

[@scellato]

Simply awesome! Paved the way for Maiden big time. For that, I am eternally grateful! Thank you....

[@michelmuller3008]

Brian "robbo" facile sur le manche...♥ avec sa cigarette !!! fantastique groupe...for ever thin lizzy ...vue plusieurs fois en concert...malheureusement pas à l'époque du raimbow 1978!!!!

[@cbrxx11]

That is incredible!!! One of my all time fave bands and songs!!

[@newspapertaxidriver]

I feel the same way. My younger cousin had this when I was about 17 years old and I happened to stumble across it. It's one of the greatest guitar albums of all-time. And it NEVER gets old.

[@lemmyrocks]

One of rock 'n' roll's best songs ever. I remember cranking this up back in 1975. Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson were a phenomenal duo. Awesome stuff.

[@codebabe]

Scott Gorham is one of my guitar heroes. Love his style.

[@xritchyx]

great Band, great Song, great times r.i.p Phil

[@tonypap1]

What a band. Phil Lynott ........ one of the best rock singing voices ever.

[@RaVeN85]

im 21 and i like thin lizzy a lot i saw them 4times live without phil lynnot offcourse but with john sykes and scott gorham my father got me into them i thank him for that ROCK ON \m/

[@IRAprovos]

amazing pioneers of Celtic/Irish rock...wot a song wot a song..R.I.P Phil

[@mikekingphoto]

Wish so much that Phil was still around, the muppet. A landmark in in my growing up. RIP Phil. Also the best Live LP ever. X.

[@DrummaTy]

Just watched the entire Live and Dangerous gig, one of the best, underated and flawless things I have ever seen, amazing music.

[@budwhite98]

Greatest Irish rock band ever. I'm blown away by this song. RIP Phil, you rock.

[@taekwongr]

I think Live & Dangerous is one of the best albums ever made in Rock history!

[@chrls7Cantona]

great song.. i would die just to be born reincarnate back to relived the Lizzy 70's era...a great classic rock spinning days... Thin Lizzy is a great classic rock band... one of the all time best.. Rip Lynott,we'hv missed you till these very days still...

[@theCheesemonger]

This song is truly one of the greatest rock songs ever made, and this performance is simply amazing.

[@stomp919]

I wish there were bands today that could crank like this. One of the best song performances ever. Robbos lead break totally shreads.

[@ezrhino100]

the greatest guitar duo of ALL TIME. just a finely tuned weapon.

[@leganewu]

hammer song, still outstanding I adore ftlskins for seeing Phil alive on stage, look I'm from E-Germany and there wasn't any possibilty to enjoy that kind of music live, so that album was something special because there is so much live athmosphere

[@michaeldique]

I mean.....what can you say...it's so brilliantly written arranged and played...Wish you were still here Phil....

[@LouienDottie]

One of their best songs!!! Killer bass line!

[@tampabill1965]

What an awesome tune. Everything Lizzy did was great!!!

[@garagerocker48]

I 've always loved all guitar twins of Thin Lizzy

[@edenmccain6032]

Thin Lizzy is, for sure, one of the greatest rock and roll bands to ever play!

[@Fwack0ff]

This song really IS metal. Thin Lizzy maybe not so much but this song.. Man! It's METAL!!!

[@dLimboStick]

What a great album this was. The hours I spent listening to Live & Dangerous while studying the liner notes and album cover back to front. Great memories.

[@F1tsy]

Down from the glen came the marching men, with their shields and their swords. To fight the fight they believed to be right. Overthrow the overlords. Its som lyrics that´s one of the best i´ve heard in a song. Poethic, kick ass great song. Thin Lizzy and Phil Lynnot forever.

[@shepp65]

one of the best songs ever. WOW WHAT A GROUP...

[@JohannesYtterstrom]

Thin Lizzy was the most underrated rock band of the 70's. There is no question about that !

[@jerichothedrifter60]

This is what Les Pauls and Marshalls are supposed to sound like.

[@davidmajor4484]

Indeed and the Allman Brothers also made that work well 😊

[@cwodragon]

I saw Thin Lizzy open up for Queen in 1977 and they were amazing, and Queen were brilliant also.

[@z1chuckster]

This was always my favorite song off of Jailbreak ! Great to see a video of it live !

[@davymartinez]

Oh, the memories, I had this video taped from TV years ago, like 17 or something... loved it from the first time I listened to it, sheer hard rock power!

[@pcdd11pj]

Gorham/Robertson are among the greatest guitar pairings of all time.

[@christurkthebrave]

i love this song,i love everything about it,and it sounds really irish too with those guitars.

[@DIOFan92]

Killer song. I love everything in this song, especially Lynotts vocals and that awesome riff!!!! Thin Lizzy Lives 4ever!

[@Fish2409]

Fantastic awesome, Brian Downey is my favourite drummer :) This song have a magic power !

[@stan19965]

LIzzy was the first "famous" band I ever saw. I was 7 rows from the front and right in front of Phil. I'd never experienced anything like it. I was 17. I'm now 48 and still NEED to play "Live and Dangerous" to wash my soul clean from time to time. It's on vinyl too which I still love. My ears rang for 2 days inside my crash helmet. What a band. Cheers All!

[@0211571]

Best Irish rock song ever

[@smoneill100]

Brilliant song and brilliant camera angles

[@titty805]

amazing music and amazing live no band is this culture can play music like this and im 17

[@lilysmumkate]

I totally agree and I was fortunate to have seen them in many concerts when I was younger at the Glasgow Appollo....Phil Lynott was the coolest!!

[@snote1]

Yes in Deed ... THIN LIZY at their best w/ Robo and Scott Gorham @ Rainbow theatre 1978 'live and Dangerous'tour this complete concert is availble on DVD, this is the same place(venue) IRON MAIDEN taped their First live concert for Video a few years later. God Bless Philip Paris Lynott Thank you for all the Great music over the years. NOBODY did it Better. Thin Lizzy Lives..... Forever.

[@VLombardi01]

Awesome band! two Les Paul's, two guitar harmonies, trade off solos, and great m usicians, You just cant beat that.

[@iceonaboy]

One of the greats of rock- Sir Phil Lynott- legend!

[@GreenManalichi]

I saw them back in the 70's...great band, great sound. If you all want to hear one of their best, you have to get the live album. Look for "Still In Love With You"...terrific ballad, with great licks...but it was never done in the studio

[@erniekelvin]

1975 Middlesbrough town Hall, like it was yesterday, right at the front, I can still hear them

[@Batman8657]

I watched this DVD for the first time tonight. I always knew Lizzy were a great live band, but holy shit! One of the best concerts I've ever watched. These guys rocked like hell.

[@smoneill100]

They are one of the greats along with purple, Sabbath and zepplin. I love this music.

[@kava365]

i love his way to play bass!! awesome group!

[@Snoiz]

Philip Lynott. Even if he sounds as if he needed to blow his nose,he IS and allways WILL be one of the great ones in rock'n roll history! He was my GOD when I was 13-14 yo. in the early 80's,and he passed away WAY to early! And what a liveband they were,LIZZY! We will never see something like it again.

[@tjhitt]

My favorite song by my favorite band EVER!!! My band covers this song from time to time.

[@123steffff]

One of the best songs ever !

[@neilcornes6149]

Thanks for the music phil, you are so,so,so missed

[@CastletoKarma]

Awesome! It still stands up, oh what I spent my salad days listening to! Great stuff by Philo and the lads, that twin lead guitar of Gorham and Robertson was brill!

[@HWBhwijk]

This is awesome! I'm 22 years old but this is some insane music people!

[@electriceye7]

I've been listening to music for 36 years and it wasn't until recently I found out how freaking awesome this band was with Phil! All I knew was Jailbreak and BABIT. Now I am on a quest to own the whole catalog. One of the best rock bands ever IMO!

[@johnnysneaker1]

Greatest live album ever made. These guys were underrated and lead the way for so many other rock bands.

[@mercenary161]

This is the band that paved the way to all, one of the greatest band of all time.

[@gammelgarten]

Still incredible after all these years. "Live and dangerous" is one of the best live albums ever released.

[@PaBasser]

Man, what a powerful song!!!. Go to love the twin lead guitars, not to mention the double bass of Brian Downey

[@MrJonrob01]

Thin Lizzy is, quite simply, one of the 4 or 5 greatest rock bands ever. EVER!

[@ufofan1980]

FYI The Band is Phil Lynott - Bass, Lead Vocals Scott Gorham - ( guy with red shirt ) Lead Guitar, backing vocals Brain Robertson aka Robbo - Lead Guitar Brian Downey - Drums And yes, Scott Gorham was an American, born in California . Downey and Lynott were Irish and Robbo was Scottish.

[@IamRockDemon]

WHAT A BAND !!!!! Unbelievable energy. Fantastic sound. Great songs. SIMPLY AWESOME !!! I also want to say this.....I think Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson is the most amazing guitar duo. One of the greatest bands ever, and probably the most underated.

[@kemicon]

Man that guitar solo is unbelievable. This song always makes me want to play RPGs. Swordsman over the glen. One of the best Lizsy tracks I think and that's actually saying something.

[@forgottenchannel1]

One of my favourite songs and favourite riffs of all time!

[@fidomusic]

This is the best Thin Lizzy track! I have good memories of listening to it in a cafe in upper Bangor, North Wales, when I was a student in the 70s. Thank you for posting it.

[@thinsnake]

Got my ticket for the tour in the new year, will have a few drinks with an old friend :-) God Bless Philo xxx

[@wallachinski]

Didnt become an avid lizzy fan till `81. Man I wish I`d seen them live.

[@kangtheconqueror]

Top band, on top form!! Lizzy were THE BEST ROCK'N'ROLL BAND EVER!! K.

[@jimw152]

Best Lizzy song ever!!! What more can i say????
