THIN LIZZY Live 6song@🇬🇧BBC Radio One UK

[@seangoodwin5590]

They were always a great band regardless of the line-up. Lynott was a musical and poetical genius. His legacy and the Thin Lizzy legend will live on for many more decades to come.

[@markoneill1768]

Brian Downey is the most intriguing drummer. Heavy rock with a swing beat

[@AhhMishMoneypenny]

John Sykes is one of the most underrated guitarists of the era, absolute beast. Saw Lizzy on Thunder & Lightning Tour.

[@petrikeinanen4328]

Why Underrated? Sykes was in Whitesnake etc. Scott Gorham is in underrated

[@MarkCox21125150]

Total agreement here!

[@maryben-mcd6562]

Totally feel the same! 💯 Lucky you getting to See Thin Lizzy 👁️😁💖 I've been jamming to them for 50 yrs. Give or take 1 🥰🤘✌️💞🔥

[@maryben-mcd6562]

What yr. Was that TOUR? I bet it was AWESOME!!!!💯👍💖😉

[@AhhMishMoneypenny]

@@maryben-mcd6562 early 80’s, I remember the spotlight hitting Phil’s bass and then reflecting into the crown like a searchlight. Awesome. Also loved then, in fact, I’m playing Chinatown in the car at the minute. 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@jimmurphy834]

I miss this man. He had charisma without arrogance. What a frontman!

[@ambroseramirez6415]

One of the best rock bands ever ... Set the bar high on so many levels ...

[@rod7083]

Been a fan of lizzy for a long time since day one they was allways special

[@Kerplaw]

Iron Maiden would cease to exist without them

[@shoemaker688]

No sweat here. The superband that never became a superband. What a miss for rock music. But my memories are sweet and profound.

[@КлючниковЕвгений-б6ы]

THIN LIZZY НАВСЕГДА осталась в нашей памяти и в наших СЕРДЦАХ как один из ярчайших бриллиантов в мировой "КОРОНЕ" ROCK музыки!!!

[@petermurray7055]

Thin lizzy one of the greatest rock bands of all time

[@zepgirl6495]

Simply spectacular! Some of the best musicians ever and no one compares to them today.

[@gtralive-2024]

No doubt!

[@francispaulmarottikal1839]

When you are listening to great Guitar works, don't ignore the driving force Bass Guitar..... Phil Lynot well a great interesting human being and a great artist is no more but KZbin keeps these great times going for us. So there may not be great bands like these no more but We love, Thin Lizzy and they are here, Always to watch again and again. God bless🙏

[@BartV7442]

This drummer is crazy good,

[@mconnolly787]

Incredible band with one of the most amazing drummers ever

[@blainebaxter7684]

Definitely one of my favourite images the band had with the clothes and stage set up.

[@neilpilkington7342]

This should've been the ultimate Lizzy line up with the absolute beast that is John Sykes accompanying Scott Gorham on the old geetar! How sad is it that Lizzy only made the one album with this sound and then disappeared forever. So sad. Phil Lynott, fucking LEGEND!

[@claykoski5142]

Phil had the absolute best bass ever, clean no distortion and his vocals were incredible, not to mention his ability to write the most poiniegent songs of ALL TIME! Amazing talent, there'll never be another like him...ever!

[@ericmcgivern4429]

This was a Great time 4 me as i saw this line up live twice in 83 & they were CLASS!!!

[@wutang2532]

My fav band.

[@DontLetTheOldManIn]

Ok. So I’m 57 and a lifelong rocker particularly classic, 60’s through 90’s, and was this many years old when I learned John Sykes was one of the guitarists in Thin Lizzy! Incredible. He was great here but man, he turned almost superhuman between these years and whitesnake. Unreal.

[@JoseRodrigues-hl4gf]

Grande Phil um músico extraordinário e sua banda espetaculares ❤❤❤

[@PolyQuasi]

Gorham doesn't get enough credit for the harmony lines. The best there is.

[@markoneill1768]

John Sykes, absolute ledge. Melodic, exciting, punky, stage presence, shredder, pinched harmonics all over the gaff, controlled aggression, BVs.

[@wendygould4476]

That’s the finest most evocative summing up of the legend that is John Sykes. ❤️😊💛

[@TheIndustrialRetrospective]

This was like 3 months before I was even born, this friggin rocks.

[@nickpro11]

What a band. RIP Phil

Thin lizzy was so dynamite n had there own grove was such a loss when he died 😔 they were special 💔 n heroin was there demise what loss to our music culture sas-sad miss there 😢 music 🎶

[@johndoyle1810]

Great Irish rock band,probably never really reached their full potential,they had great songs ❤

[@peterknicked]

Not so Irish as only Phil and Brian was irish, and Gary too on the few occasions he was in the band. The rest of the members where English, Scottish and American. So I would say they were kind of an international british band really.

[@johndoyle1810]

@@peterknicked i suppose that’s the truth about thin lizzy,as far as i know Phil lynott and Brian Downey stuck through the changes of many personnel,those two guys were top notch players,my favorite album is life live.best wishes from Dublin,

[@grizzyb4149]

Yeah ‘only’ Phil. The songwriter front man and superstar.

One of the best ever ❤️

[@enewhuis]

That is one heck of a drum kit riser.

[@zoso1980]

Thunder & Lightning was such good record. The malaise that had been going on for years was musically clearing. Probably the best record since '79.

[@redmed10]

Saw them many times live . Always a good show.

[@charliegeorgesrightleg.6646]

They were really on it that night. It's such a shame that Phil and Scott couldn't sort out their personal issues. I always wonder what if. Thank God for KZbin we can still rock out to Thin Lizzy when we feel like it.

[@viniciuscamargo8085]

Phil Lynott, fucking great Lead Singer! Thin Lizzy!

[@ЮрийФёдоров-и8в]

Спасибо за концерт , жаль Thin Lizzy уже никогда не увидят в России , мы так ждали ,

🤟👍🏼💪 I was fortunate to have seen TL in back to back performances opening for Queen in Boston. Blown away to his day! Its 06:21 AM Eastern.

OMG.... So Good😁💖💯✌️ Love It everyday!🥰💞

[@pedroluna7091]

the best

[@edgard-rosacedric4495]

What rock band it was. Too good to listen again ❤

[@eddiemuniz761]

It’s quite unfortunate that this set list and performance never made it to the American shores in 1983 on the Thunder & lightning tour probably due to Phillips fluctuating health issues he had.With MTV just taken flight it would have been great exposure with Cold sweat being a single release!

[@christophergordon7433]

Definitely

[@revwahfair]

I saw them in 74 or 75 at The Michigan Palace in Detroit on a Thursday. 5 bands for $5 , and I had just bought the Nightlife album a couple of weeks prior. They smoked all the other bands.

[@christophergordon7433]

@@revwahfair They first toured the States in early ‘75 with Bob Seger and BTO.

[@revwahfair]

@@christophergordon7433 that's when I saw them. My memories from that Era are a bit foggy.

[@peterknicked]

They blew the US thing on the Bad Rep tour. Too much drugs, alcohol, fighting, and cancelled shows due the above. They tried again on the Black Rose tour, but Gary bailed on them for the same reasons and no American promoter wanted anything to do with them. So they destroyed their chances in the US all on their fucked up own.

[@michaelklaws4404]

Phil Lynott war einmalig-ohne ihn ist Thin Lizzy nicht denkbar, auch wenn es in der Vergangenheit immer wieder Versuche gab, die Band ohne ihn fortzuführen.

[@rhamphorhynchusmetal2038]

Absolutely great

[@wendygould4476]

This is what performing live is all about...raw, sweaty, driven, with a melodic edge to contrast with the wild Rock ‘n’ Roll brilliance of this tight ensemble. A band of brothers whose love for each other and their passion for being on stage shining through. No tricks, no auto tuning just sheer talent and paying their dues.

[@kenmunozatmmrrailroad6853]

They were so good in their time weren’t they?

[@PolyQuasi]

They were shit hot here. Moments before the end.

[@claykoski5142]

Fn incredible, nothing even comes close!

[@martinfitzgerald1605]

Would love to have seen this, love the gig atmosphere and this looks and sounds shit hot.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻''A medley of our hit', track after track sheer brilliance.

[@paolobianchi8513]

So underrated.

[@neilpilkington7342]

John Sykes was IMO, the only guitarist in Thin Lizzy to rival Gary Moore for technical ability, feel, tone and creativity, albeit with a much harder sound and direction than Moore. Fucking genius! Whitesnake became the biggest band in the world off the back of the album co written with John Sykes and IMO, Phil Lynott was 10 times the songwriter that David Coverdale ever could've been! The Whitesnake album was written directly after Lizzy split and so most of those riffs would've been worked into that Thin Lizzy magick!

[@Arseverse]

I disagree, after Gary that position goes to Bryan Robertson

[@MrAdriancooke]

Their live performances seem a lot better than the studio versions

[@gtralive-2024]

All of their live dvds kick ass! Thanks!

[@alvarotorresmestre]

Holy War 👌brutal …..una de mis bandas favoritas de mi juventud y sigo disfrutando de escucharlos en todas sus formaciones

[@nigelmilne9760]

If Phil had of got his way every album would have been a live one!! They weren't studio musos like Floyd, Yes or even Queen to a degree!

[@MrAdriancooke]

Some bands are really energised by and at their best in front of a live audience and TL were obviously one of them

[@salesdept537]

Thin Lizzy 1983 lineup - Phil Lynott - Vocals, Bass Guitar. Brian Downey - Drums. Scott Gorham - Lead Guitar. John Sykes - Lead Guitar. Darren Wharton - Keyboards.

[@alexandresantos3811]

How they aren’t mentioned in Rock History??? So good live!

[@jahminski831]

No gary:( but John Sykes!!!!! 👍🏼 👍🏼

[@lizzyfan1986]

Neither had the cool swagger of Robbo

[@peterknicked]

John was a great addition to Lizzy.

[@jamesbcaires3946]

This is a great clip. Is this on any DVD or CD? Not only one of the best Irish bands, but one of the best bands in the whole world. RIP Phil !

[@theloniouscoltrane3778]

What happened to this great band? Did they end up like Badfinger? CCR?

[@andrewsmith2757]

I've noticed (thank God) that this is in stereo. I know it was made in stereo for the stereo FM simulcast with BBC Radio 1, but every time a TV station shows and "Sight And Sound: In Concert" (including the Thin Lizzy episode) it's in mono. BBC Four is a big culprit of this. Was this broadcast on a TV station as it is (in stereo) or was it broadcast on a radio station and then dubbed over the TV picture? Either way, thanks very much for uploading. 👌👌

[@MeYou-nv9vz]

Tin lizzy

[@alanfletcher9698]

Such a Shame they only did Thunder and Lightning with Sykes . Imagine if he would have Stayed for a few more years Wow

[@lucapisano4772]

Yeah!! I like it so much! Ciao from Italy.

[@gtralive-2024]

Glad you like it!

[@davidjoyce1976]

Sykes was at his best live like this. They had such a history of great complimentary guitarists. Even Snowy White had a great run. Robertson and Gorham were the best melodic tandem. But, if Phil had managed to clean up I think this line up would have been legendary in this age of rock. I was in college when PL passed...what could have been?

[@JohnVilla1960]

Far better live than their albums which were very weak production wise.

[@ian436]

Lizzy were superb live, any decent band should always sound better live. Lizzy were the best !

[@monte5293]

A bit harsh. A band like Lizzy are always going to bring it live, but their studio work is still brilliant. Nothing wrong with the production on Jailbreak - one of the greatest rock albums ever produced.
