What a brilliant performace by Thin Lizzy RIP Phil and Gary

[@bryanlongshore6198]

Those cats are crazy !!!!!.....this was a big hit when I was 13 back in 76.....those were the good old days !!!!!!!!

[@southernman22]

Totally the good old days

[@ADPNC13]

For people who know - they know. But this is one of the more underrated bands in music history. Truly amazing front man and lineup. Superb lyricist and songwriter. Just some of the best R&R to come out of the seventies. RIP Phil and Gary.

[@Eleventhearlofmars]

Oh f**k , stop it with the underrated. How were they underrated? This is a clip of them playing in Australia on the other side of the world, they were world famous throughout the 70s and early 80s with countless hit singles and albums. Underrated my arse.

No Truer Words Ever Spoken

[@jamesfarrington9030]

Phil never gets credit for having one of the better voices in rock. Wasnt a screamer, but his tone was pleasant to listen to. RIP Gary. Hey Scott, stick around for a long while. You are a very humble man.

[@tribeshift]

Gary was also a hugely underrated singer

[@JezuzIsLord]

Phil is thr greatest front man ever

[@luannabbate2624]

One of the best vocalists and bassist ever. Every time I hear this song I get sad that They are not around these days!!1

[@davidsouthwick6802]

Phil was a totally charismatic frontman, tough & tender enough in equal measure to appeal to both sexes. His voice effortlessly exuded soul & machismo, so no screaming was necessary (NB Axl Rose, Dave Grohl & assorted throatshredders)

[@KittyGrizGriz]

Love Phil Lynott; what a fantastic bassist and singer…Omg what a great frontman!

[@egrintarg230]

Rest in peace Phil. When you reincarnate the whole world will welcome you back.

[@johncarlson6472]

Killer hooks, grooves and double lead guitars to boot. I often wonder what Phil and Scott could've accomplished had they not fallen under the black cloud of addiction.

[@lewisner]

My god , 45 years ago. Where have the years gone ?

[@11000038]

Phil never ever misses a beat. Never sings out of time or tune. Genius!

[@RichardLanz-rt5ut]

I remember thin Lizzy when I was stationed in Germany in the eighty’s. The show was awesome. I saw many shows but theirs was the best. Keep the faith guys. 63 young

[@seanmcmorris]

Wow. An absolute jaw dropping gem of a performance. The band was truly on fire that evening. They sound so tight, rock and groove so hard, and yet it all sounds effortlessly smooth. Love THIS!

[@Scalachi123]

Affirmative classic performance many memories

[@luannabbate2624]

He died too soon. I just read a story where he got turned down to perform on Life Aid cause they felt he was too F'd up. II he was givven a chance, He could have given an performance as close to what Queen did on tht day.

[@voiceofexperience]

I was there... Brilliant gig, & FREE.

[@BarbieChaite]

the drummer was on fire

[@RSBurgener]

This video is exactly how they should be remembered. Phil's passing was tragic and hard to imagine and didn't represent his real character. This DOES! So let's all picture this when we hear the words Thin Lizzy.

[@Martin-iv6lq]

What's so tragic? He was a junkie and he shot lots of heroin. It's expected that someone's gonna die doing this kind of intravenous drug use. Tragic would have been if he was clean living and some alley thug stabbed him to death with a knife.

[@acac7399]

Como se escolhesse. Vsf

[@KittyGrizGriz]

@@Martin-iv6lq All people suffering from the disease of and stigma of addiction is a total tragedy.

[@TheOpenSociety777]

​@@Martin-iv6lqDamn man....his absentee mother Philomena Lynott, was total garbage for ditching her kids. Sadly, Men fall short as Fathers often. But a woman. Damn that's just absolutely shameful & unnatural 😢

[@docsbassist]

Man gtfoh with that garbage. You have no idea what a woman raising a black bastard son in the early 1950s in Ireland & England had to go through. I’ll bet you didn’t know that she had to give up two more kids for adoption and had a ridiculously hard life as a young single woman. Obviously she could have maybe had less sex but you try having less sex and seeing how much you enjoy life, regardless you dont have authentic right to judge amyone.@@TheOpenSociety777 people have a lot of hate for interracial relationships still to this day. She did the best she could for her son and went on to have a great relationship with him so you literally don’t know what you’re talking. She wrote a book try reading it genius.

[@cnilecnile6748]

You are also seeing and hearing the most expensive guitar in history here-that's "Greenie", Gary Moore's Gibson Les Paul, which is now owned by Metatlica's Kirk Hammet. It had belonged to Peter Green, Fleetwood Mac's original guitar player. 2.1 million dollars, if I remember correctly.

[@vox1962]

Criminally underrated

[@mikeplatts2603]

These guys could out rock most bands around at the time, frighteningly good, their music is still superb, hence why so many Hollywood films still use it

[@rosswardrop465]

I was 19 .When I Saw this great band perform.At the opera house.What great talents Garry Moore and Phil Lynott were.Its a pity they are Gone.I am 64 and still listen to there music.And practice there music as a drummer.Live and Dangerous .Was one there best albums.

[@ronaldrose6885]

No other band can recapture the sound of thinn Lizzy,and no one ever will. A unique band only for one go.... And brother they went!!!!!

[@ley98]

You are right they don't make bands like this anymore

[@michaelschmidt9708]

THE best band in history at their ceative peak with Gary Moore.

[@rjs2005]

One of the great music regrets in my life was never getting to see Thin Lizzy (Phil Lynott era) in concert. What a great show that must have been!

[@lilsdon]

Awesome band, still sounds marvelous today as it did way back when.

[@dennispicone6801]

Proving yet again, that timeless music is exactly that. They were an underrated band, at a time when classy rock n roll music was only beginning to gain exposure through programs such as Countdown. A great live band, proven by this video.

[@EricBlackmonGuitar]

That dang Phil was whipping that bass! Never got enough credit for that! My man!

[@malrs4977]

I was at the Marquee at a Wild Horses gig, the encore Scott Gorham came out with the band, next song Phil Lynott came out with the band, do I have to say it was amazing, one of those mind-blowing experiences, they played 4 songs one was Rosalie can't remember the others, Robbo and Scott were on the same stage, Jimmy Bain and PL on bass, it still makes me smile thinking about it, the power of music is an incredible thing.

[@rudolfschenker]

That was a rare and historic even, you're so lucky to have witnessed it. It seems the Wild Horses guys loved having guest jams, I like the story of Michael Schenker jamming a gig with them in the '78-79 era when he was in town.

Hate to be the one to burst the bubble, but there was very little "live" about Live and Dangerous unfortunately. The only thing that wasn't re-recorded in the studio is the drums and the crowd noises apparently.
