Live And Dangerous

at first I was like meh and then I was like aight, idk if I'd ever put this on though even though the concert is awwesome 3.49?

rock and roll dude

Whatever

Fun - nothing overly special. Favorite songs: Still in Love with you, Dancing in the moonlight Rating: 6.5/10

good

Straight with it and damn good. An incredible live album. Incredible.

Que buenas rolas. Se ve que la raza los disfrutaba macizo.

one or two good songs

Good 70’s rock. They opened with their best song. Too many ballads

★★★☆☆ Bastante bueno para ser en vivo.

4/5

Rosalie

from the cover i was expecting this to be obnoxious hair metal, but then when dancing in the moonlight came on and they were thanking their saxophone player, i realized i had them totally wrong. and then the boys are back in town came up and i was like ohhhh it's those guys! really fun time on this one

To me, to be good a live album has to either a) sound unique compared to studio versions or b) transport you to a particular time and place. This does neither, even if the music itself is alright. I'd have rather just listened to studio versions.

perfect title is perfect

Damn

Kinda fun but who needs to listen to this

Inoffensive, cool and mostly good. Obvikenobi boys r back I recognize

очень милые. лайв конечно сложнее воспринимать (особенно заигрывания с публикой и представление группы). интересно запомню ли я зе бойз ар бэк ин таун...

So I don't like live albums. They turn me off. The music on this one was pretty okay though.

Notable Textzeile: I am just a cowboy, lonesome on the trail Lord, I'm just thinkin' about a certain female The nights we spent together ridin' on the range Lookin' back, it seems so strange Es gibt immer wieder Bands bei denen ich denke, ah das hatten wir doch schon mal, und dann hatten wir es doch noch nicht. Irgendwie vermisse ich die Zeit in der Pop vor allem Rock war und damit halt auch Rock so poppig überhaupt nicht. Seltsam auch, ein Livealbum in dieser Liste zu haben in denen der Ansager mehrfach betont „we made you clap your hands“ um dann am Ende im ewigen Dankesblock zu sagen „you make us clap our hands“. Das ist einfach in allem das Gegenteil von Eloquent. Klar sind da auch ein paar Zufallstreffer dabei die als einzelner Hit durchgehen. Daher mit Mühe und Not eine 2,5.

Eine Band die ich immer lächerlich fand bis ich Mal Jailbreak gehört habe und irgendwie es dann doch funktioniert hat. Das "live" Album verliert durch zusammensammeln von verschiedenen Auftritten verschiedener Touren und Overdubs im Studio an Punkten, aber gewinnt an Straffheit und Härte, zwei wichtigen Punkten wenn es um Lederhosen geht. Es ist gerade Dopamin reich genug um mir morgens richtig Spaß zu machen, deshalb noch

Warum fängt das zur mitten hin an plötzlich wie die E-Street-Band zu klingen? Ansonsten ist das ok. Bin maximal neutral.

Det er så fedt faktisk! En del af min glæde deles af Freja som jo virkelig elsker det her album, men der er også fede numre på som virkelig også bliver cool i denne her live setting. Highlights: Jailbreak Southbound The Boys Are Back In Town

I have not listened to this whole thing yet because my headphones BROKE!! But I actually liked what I heard. I think 70s cock rock sounds best when in this live setting. It's a raw, it's a bit sexy, and it sounds like a hell of a good time.

allg, i just always kinda dislike live albums idk why

Fun listen

Thin Lizzy is a band that I have heard some of, but mostly just their biggest hits. This album was a lot of fun, a high energy classic rock live album that I really enjoyed, and that wasn't limited to just the songs I knew. Thin Lizzy does sound a little glam, but I think it is hard enough not to be in the camp side of glam. I could definitely listen to this again.

Lowkey stalwart.

Okay, we have another live album on the list, and it’s another live album that some believe is the greatest live album ever recorded. It's Thin Lizzy’s Live and Dangerous. I’m sure you know at least one Thin Lizzy song, and it’s probably The Boys Are Back In Town. I kind of hate that song. I’ve just heard it too much. Radio really knows how to drive songs into the ground. Live and Dangerous came out in 1978, and the songs were taken from a few shows over a year’s time. It’s a double album, as well. Some say the album is 75% live, and others say the album is 75% studio overdubs. Guitarist Scott Gorham said the album showed the best of Thin Lizzy before the “bad drugs” began to destroy the band. Bandleader, bassist, and singer Phil Lynott would be dead about eight years later, primarily due to bad drugs and alcohol. The band, it seemed, was always going through changes, mainly with the guitarists. For this album, it was Lynott on bass and vocals and drummer Brian Downey, both of them there from the beginning. The guitarists were Gorham and Brian Robertson. Legendary guitarist Gary Moore was also one of the revolving guitarists in and out of the band a few times, though not on this record. I would probably call myself just a casual fan of Thin Lizzy. I never cared much for Lynott’s vocals, really. Though I do have my favorite songs, like Jailbreak and Bad Reputation. The album has 17 songs, and it runs just over one hour and 15 minutes. Let’s get it on. Track 1 is one of my favorites from the band, Jailbreak. Thin Lizzy was one of the bands that inspired other bands to use a twin guitar attack. The guitarists would often play solos together, harmonizing with each other. This sure sounds live to me. At the end of the song, the band brings the sound down a bit to allow the crowd to get into the show a little more by clapping. Great way to open the show. Track 2 is Emerald and Lynott starts the song out with a bad joke. The band is an Irish band, and Lynott asks if there are any ladies there with a little Irish in them. Of course, you can see where the joke is going. In 1978, that might have been high comedy. Now, it’s a pervy dad joke. I’m not sure I’ve heard Emerald, but it has a nice riff. It’s like a traditional Irish tune, but with beefy, feedbacked guitars. Cool. Yes, there’s the twin guitar attack as both guitarists are harmonizing with each other while playing the same melody. Now the solos come at you fast and furious. I think Thin Lizzy may be one of those bands like KISS. They sound fine on record, if not a little disappointing, but live, they’re beasts. Gorham and Robertson are still soloing. This song is great for guitar fans. Track 3 is Southbound, and it has a brighter, poppier sound. It also begins with the two guitars harmonizing on the lead melody. This is a driving song. Speaking of harmonies, the band is doing a good job harmonizing on the chorus. This song is laidback and fun. I feel like a lot of Thin Lizzy songs were like that. They had songs that could rip your face off, but also had fine rock songs that didn’t need face-melting solos. Track 4 is Rosalie/Cowgirl’s Song, and Rosalie was written by Bob Seger, which I didn't know. It does have that Seger uptempo rock groove. As for Cowgirl’s Song, one of Thin Lizzy's biggest songs is Cowboy Song. I wonder if Cowgirl’s Song came out of that popularity? Women can do things these days. Speaking of KISS, Rosalie has a KISS groove in there. The guitars sound incredible. I’m really digging this song. I actually started clapping at my desk. It may be the Monster Energy. Ohhh, here comes the familiar strains of Cowboy Song, but it must be Cowgirl’s Song. Okay, it seems they are just riffing Rosalie over Cowboy Song. And then it’s over. Great song. Track 5 is Dancing in the Moonlight, which I thought was a totally different song. Lynott's vocal style is so different. I think that may be what threw me off about Thin Lizzy. The vocals just aren’t arranged like normal classic rock standards. He’s singing in a conversational style. Oooh, there’s a saxophone playing on this song. This song sounds like Lynott’s try at righting a Van Morrison song. John Earle is playing the sax. Now we get a super clean, fun guitar solo. Thin Lizzy always had incredible guitar players, even though they went through them quickly. And near the song, it’s both guitars and the sax harmonizing on the melody. Wow. That’s awesome. Track 6 is Massacre, and I would have sworn this was an Iron Maiden song. This song is just running and running. I think I can definitely say this is the best stuff I’ve ever heard from Thin Lizzy. Not just the song, which is incredible, but they really shone live. This song is so heavy, yet there is also a guitar line that is like a light shining to show the way to the end of the song. This is my favorite song on the album now. Track 7 is Still In Love with You, and it’s a slowed-down love song. I wouldn’t necessarily call it a ballad. It’s very bluesy, at least to start. I’m digging this. It’s allowing Lynott to actually sing. The guitars really make this song work. All in all, a nice change of pace for the album. Track 8 is Johnny the Fox Meets Jimmy the Weed, and that’s a weird song title. Oh, yeah, this is funky. The lyrics aren’t doing much for me, or the singing, but the guitars and Lynott’s bass playing are really tight. Track 9 is Cowboy Song and it’s one of the band’s most loved songs. I’ve only heard it a few times. It has a melody that sounds similar to The Boys Are Back in Town, which kind of irks me. But, live, the guitars seem a bit heavier. It’s not turning me, but I do love the sound of the verses on guitar. We get to the middle of the song, and the two guitars really start singing, both together in harmony and separate in solos. Then, the last note of Cowboy Song, also happens to be the first note of The Boys Are Back in Town, which is track 10. The song is already pretty peppy on record, but I think the band speeds it up a bit more here. Those guitar harmonies are speeding by. I have to admit, this is a great song, and it’s a fun party song, but I’ve heard it so much. It’s one of those songs that everybody likes, and I tend to hate those songs. I guess it’s the contrarian in me. Track 11 is Don’t Believe a Word and I’m not sure I’ve heard this song. It’s pretty heavy for a love song. Damn, the first guitar solo just melted my cerebral cortex. That was straight fire. This song and Massacre are going into my singles playlist. Track 12 is Warrior, and it comes out firing with the twin guitar attack doubling each other. I like Lynott’s vocals on this song. It’s such a badass tune. Lynott’s voice sounds like Jimi Hendrix on this song. I later searched for a live performance of this song on YouTube, and Lynott said the song had been written for Hendrix. So, I guess he was trying to mimic Hendrix’s voice a bit. “I am the warrior I serve the death machine Losers or conquerors All flash past on my silver screen Death is no easy answer For those who wish to know Ask those who have been before you What fate the future holds It ain't pretty.” That’s badass. I know I say this for about every song, but the guitar solos are so good. I’m adding this song to my singles list. It’s so heavy and mean. Track 13 is Are You Ready and it immediately goes 0 to 100 mph in a flash. It’s got a great riff. Beyond it being a barnburner for the guitars, the song isn’t really that special. Lynott said it was a new song, which usually means it's bathroom and concession time during a concert. Track 14 is Suicide, or today it would be called Unaliving. The song is about suicide. I should say, the song is about a murder that the police label a suicide. That’s the plot of about 2,436 TV shows and movies. The song is a solid rock song, but the guitar solos are incredible, as usual. Gorham and Robertson just trade off. I assume it’s because their hands get too hot shredding, so the other has to take over. Track 15 is Sha-La-La and I hate the title, at least before hearing the song. The title may stink, but the riffs are stupendous. The riff reminds me of the riff from the Osmonds’ song called Crazy Horse. After reading the lyrics, this is quite the filthy song. It’s no Buckcherry, but without using curse words, it’s very suggestive. “Black magic woman, you've got a hold Come on, sugar, I'll lose control I want your body, not your soul Come on, baby, take my jelly roll.” That’s not very subtle at all. Though again, Buckcherry is about as subtle as a sledgehammer to your face. I’m not for censorship, but being unable to say certain words can actually make things more fun. It causes you to make up new words or sayings to point toward the word you can’t or shouldn’t say. I digress. Beyond the great guitars and licentious lyrics, drummer Downey gets himself some time for a drum solo. He played his arse off. Track 16 is Baby Drives Me Crazy and it starts with a sing-along with the crowd. This is an old-fashioned blues song with harmonica and all. Of course, most old-fashioned blues songs don’t have two guitars chuggin' along. Though it does give both guitarists a chance to shred, and shred they do. Speaking of a harmonica, Huey Lewis is playing it. Yes, that Huey Lewis. At that time, it seems he was known as Bluesy Huey Lewis. Great song with cool crowd interaction. Track 17, and the final track, is "The Rocker". I’m kind of sad the album is over, though I’m sure there’s some sort of giant deluxe album with 74 songs on it. The riff sounds like something Motorhead would play, though maybe at a faster pace. It definitely reminds me of a Fastway song, and Fastway was formed by former Motorhead guitarist “Fast” Eddie Clarke. Again, it has to be said, the guitar solos on this song are magnifique. It’s a great song to end the album and send the people home happy. Okay, I won’t say that I’m now a Thin Lizzy fan, but I definitely am a Live and Dangerous fan. It’s one of the best live albums I’ve heard. I got caught up in it a few times and was clapping along and playing air guitar. I also used the bathroom during the new song. If you’ve never heard Thin Lizzy or if you’ve only heard Thin Lizzy from studio albums, listen to this. It’ll turn you around. I wonder if this will give me a new appreciation for the recorded songs? If it’s not must-listen, I’d at least highly recommend it. It’s heavy enough for metalheads, but not so shreddy that rock fans can’t also groove to it.

It's competently performed and all, but I just personally find this style of music very tame and uninteresting. It's fine, just not for me.

Another great listen. I wasn't too familiar with this album to begin with but I've added it to my rotation now.

Snooze rock

A surprisingly good live album. The recording still sounds live, but the band's actual performance is great. I still don't understand the decision to pick a live album as a band's only inclusion on this list though.

It feels like it’s 2 hours long.

I think thin Lizzy is very talented and underrated. It's a live album, which can be made or broken by the banter in between songs- - this one is fine.

Very good live album.

Thin Lizzy for me was only represented by mainstream radio plays of The Boys are Back in Town, so it was a very narrow view of what seems like a fun and energetic rock band. Not quite at the level of Cheap Trick at Budokan, but a fun listen.

Veldig kult, men blir litt for mye av det gode. Svak 4'er

Sterk 3er

Pessfet! Men klarer ikke lange liveplater.

Kjedelig gubberock med et par lyspunkter her og der.

Great tunes a little long plus live albums are a bit naff

The 4 songs on Spotify gave me enough to know this is a killer live album!

Seguro sea contradictorio en mí, pero este disco en vivo. No!

Darlings of classic rock who I never really got into. I remember my dad’s mate Lou raving about how great a band Thin Lizzy were but I struggled to hear the appeal as a teenager. Today I listen with more open ears and I can appreciate their sound a bit more, but it’s not revolutionary.

This had a satisfying ‘live’ feel to it (not always the case with a live album) but Thin Lizzy’s music never quite did it for me back in the day and on a relisten that still holds good now.

Was vacillating between a high 7/10 and low 8/10 for this one, but settled on 8/10 just because it was sheer fun! There were definitely a few throwaway numbers in here, but overall the energy and soloing were on point for a hard rock live record.

Some good hard rockin! Unfortunately nothing really stood out to bump up the rating, it was way too long, and there’s the whole overdubbing issue. So we’re keeping this at a 3. I did enjoy the good and frequent guitar solos though

Not much to remark. White boys be shreddin (back in town) Standouts: Emerald • Southbound • Still In Love With You

Good album but the length is not really justified by anything going on here. Yes I know it is a live album, but other than one bit of dialogue with the audience and some scattered clapping and cheering, it doesn't offer much beyond a studio album (especially knowing about the overdubs later)

Liked this more than I thought - high 3

#128/1001 🇮🇪🇬🇧 Wasnt expecting to enjoy this as much as i did as i'm not always a fan of the "live" albums compiled from a number of different dates. This captures all the power of a live set. Best Tracks: Jailbreak, Southbound, Still in Love with You, Boys are Back in Town.

Enjoyed this. I had no idea Thin Lizzy was Irish! They do a good job of sounding America. I really liked "Still in Love with You."

Wow, never even considered Thin Lizzy as a live band. They are smokin!

The Boys were Indeed, Back In Town! I will say only being familiar that particular song of theirs, I was Not prepared for the amount of sickening guitar solos. The energy of this album is absolutely electric-- from the smooth transitions between each song, to the crowd hype and participation, clearly this is a band well loved. And I can see why! The energy felt through the roof with every new song change, and this will definitely be going on any long drive that I take someplace. I loved the vibe of this record and it's energetic, bombastic feel. Highlights: Southbound, Dancing In The Moonlight, Cowboy Song, The Boys Are Back In Town, The Rocker. Special shoutout to some of the drum solos too they were absolutely awesome to bask in.

Нормальный лайв, но собранный по кускам. Пятерка для самого стильного мэна в музыке. Я так чувствую.

Ожидания снова были не очень высокие, но какое-никакое удовольствие в итоге получил

Зачем?

понравилась запись, никогда не нравилось гитарное творчество гэри мура, а тут хорошо звучит, в лайве поинтереснее главных хитов со студийными записями, более драйвово, поставлю 3.5, даже ближе к 4м, чем к 3м

Splendid

Livegesang der Wahnsinn.

Beschde Live-Album

The boys are back in town, miguel

Great live band. There's a lot more to TL than I previously thought.

Great live album!

Didn't think I really knew Thin Lizzy but I have definitely heard most of these songs. They sound great live, would have been a fun band to see perform. I like Lynott's voice and the guitars are shredding. Hard rock to almost metal with some ballads thrown in as well. One gem I don't think I have heard before was Massacre, that was a nice find. It was a bit long for my taste but I get it for a "live" album. The last third was a bit of a slog to get through.

Day 272 Fantastic album. Up there with the best live albums ever. Highlights Dancing in the moonlight Massacre Johnny the Fox…

Actual Rating: 4.5/5

okay, good solos in some of them

Really enjoyed this album

Good

Something very special about these songs played live. They can be really turgid from the studio. Apart from the stupid joke about a bit of Irish, this whole performance feels flawless, and there's the epic moment when one song thumps into boys are back in town. Ridiculous drum solo gets everyone fired up and then pure joy as the band members get introduced. Epic rock gig.

Haven't heard much of this band before....when it's good it's great (Southbound) otherwise it's a little bit too classic-rock-FM-radio-"won't you clap your hands for me"-extended-harmonised-guitar-solo sounding to my tastes.

No lo terminé perdón pero estaba bueno 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

The song structure and writing is so generic and boring it made me feel like I was too hard on Van Halen. The solo’s make up for some of it but even they seem a bit formulaic. Could use some more energy and more talented song writers.

Didn't finish, didn't find interesting. Not a single album with a female vocalist so also waiting for that

Didn't dislike this as much as I thought. Always like a live album and they performed well live.

Another overdubbed live album

Did I need to listen to this album before I died? No. Was it an enjoyable, hard rock concert? Yes.

Good rock

It is OK. Not the biggest TL fan out there, but I just know their 2 or 3 radio hits. This live album was good, and it proves they can put on a show.

Guitar!!!

threw this on in the morning, i can see why the live album was picked, all their damn songs sound the same! good energy from the band though, not a lot of breaks in between.

Classic rock album. Atmosphere of the live performance adds to the overall vibe.

This is alright, decent rock album. I find the "hybrid live" album a curious choice. It's definitely noticeable that it isn't a straight live album. I don't know much about Thin Lizzy other than The Boys Are Back in Town, and several of the other songs on this album have hints of the chords and melodies of that song. Got kind of tired of it towards the end. (3.5)

Excellent all along, and then it earned that last extra star when I learned Huey Lewis was involved.

Not sure I understand the love for this one. Pure nostalgia? To my virgin ears this was perfectly decent but uninspiring 70s rock. Fun riffs and generally great guitar work, perfunctory vocals, tediously overlong. 'Jailbreak' in particular seemed like a week opener, the anemic vocals paling in comparison to the studio version. I hovered between 2 and 3 repeatedly, but I can't deny it had its moments.

I did not like

not my roooooooooooooooock

clean

I ADORE Thin Lizzy !! Just as good live as in studio. Fav song is ‘Dancing In The Moonlight’.

Niet zo mijn soort rock

Phil Lynott's vocals were ace. Very guitar solo heavy and potentially too long.

Rating: 4.6/5 Short Review: Loose, loud, and ridiculously confident. Feels like a band that knows exactly what they are and just leans into it. Raw energy, but still tight where it matters. Favorite Track: “Cowboy Song” (live). That dual guitar harmony just lifts everything. Feels big without trying too hard.

Like gatecrashing a party that has no-one you like there.

No está mal, pero teniendo a Zeppelin y Purple no se por qué escucharía esto. Le rescato los solos de viola y el segundo tema, cover de algo irlandés parece por lo que dicen en el álbum. Todo eso me parece más original y merecedor de estar acá que el resto del disco. 5/10

This is a great live album. The recording is clean, you can hear everything clearly, the band sounds great and you get audience banter. Great recording. It's a solid Thin Lizzy album, if they only picked one Thin Lizzy album this would be a great one. Kinda cheating as it's their hits and all that but still. It's a solid classic rock album. Worth the listen.

I’m not mad at this, it is fine yknow. I just think I could’ve died without listening to it

erin go bragh!

I liked this more than I expected. Really good energy and fun guitar work

Very good

Normally not a huge fan of live albums but this was pretty decent.

Pretty standard late 70s hard rock. Pretty mediocre at that. Some energy but only a few songs

It must have been fun to hear them live back in the day, and the guitar work is amazing, but I didn’t need an hour plus of this, especially because only some songs were great.

I typically like live albums and don't like dad rock from the late 70s. Though I will say, Thin Lizzy (my Irish Kings) can be an exception. It's not as energetic as I expected it to be, but it is clean and solid the whole way through! And because it's Thin Lizzy, they will earn a 5 from me :)

Wish the boys would fuck back off

Great example of what a live album should be, a lot of fun, transitions between big hits were seamless and some great performances

Not as polished as their studio ouvre, but pure class.

I liked this more than I thought I would. Maybe influenced by Phil Lynott being Irish.

This was a fun live album to listen to, full of great guitar solos. Sounds really clean for a live album, but also I know there was some studio over-dubbing. Favorite Track - Massacre Least Favorite Track - Dancing in the Moonlight ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I really thought I would hate this but it turns out I don't. While not my favorite band some of the guitar licks were pretty killer and the transition from Cowboy Song to The Boys are back in Town was pretty slick. Of all the butt rock bands, Thin Lizzy is the least bad.

Chock full of bangers

I haven't listened to much Thin Lizzy so I wonder what I'd think of a studio album by them, but this was pretty good for this style! Great vocal performances throughout, and some incredible guitar parts too. Favorites: The Boys Are Back In Town, Are You Ready

Not the biggest fan of live albums, but I have to admit Thin Lizzy works best in this format. This is pretty much the perfect encapsulation of what made them special (although I would have included Whiskey in a Jar in the setlist, but I ain't Phil). Anyway, Thin Lizzy rules, love the dueling lead guitars and Phil Lynott's singular vocal delivery, and to this day, no one has written a better song about the boys and their being back in town.

Embarrassed to admit this, but The Boys Are Back in Town always reminds me of Entourage (and this is a positive association for me - that’s the embarrassing part).

As good as I expected it would be.

I used to have this on vinyl but realized I'll never really throw Thin Lizzy on that much. I like it once in awhile but honestly, this is probably the last time I'll ever listen to this start to finish again.

Para la mierda que vengo escuchando zafa bastante, muy largo igualmente. 4/10

honestamente, no me gustó nada. estaba esperando a q termine. pasa q es rock bien clásico y sobretodo que es un álbum muy lineal. quizás (y solo quizas) si en algún momento tengo ganas d escuchar un álbum bien rockero, lo escucho

no pude pasar de la tercera canción... aburrido

At times, it all sounded like Bruce Springsteen or ZZ Top or even Jimi Hendrix. Definitely not a bad thing. As far as live albums go, this was pretty damn good. Maybe because it all had a JimZ Springsheen to it.

Exciting experience!

I enjoyed this, and can totally feel how good it would have been to see thin Lizzy live.

Irish Glam Rock at its finest. I love Thin Lizzy and this is surprisingly energetic and good to listen to Live album. It's missing "Whiskey in the Jar" which is arguably one of their best songs since it's a rock & roll reimagining of an old Irish ballad (despite the band hating it). It does have the highly recognizable and popular "Jailbreak", "The Boys are Back in Town", and "Dancing in the Moonlight". Also, "Cowboy Song" into "The Boys are Back in Town" is one of the greatest Live transitions I've ever heard in my life. A little history on this album, this tour was performed in one of the most significant and violent years in recent Irish history. The La Mon Restaurant Bombing by the IRA, daily killings of RUC soldiers, and Ireland broke from the British Sterling becoming economically independent of Britain. Ireland was baring its teeth and clawing at the hand that had been strangling it for so long. Thin Lizzy was an icon of the youth and this album in particular launched them far into the clouds of viral and sensational music. All that said, knowing that their home country was in political unrest and they just kept on rocking is the soul of rock music. This album is a 9/10 for me.

Ma foi plutôt sympa, des sonorités classiques mais intemporelles

Un moment agréable, le fait que ça soit en live ajoute beaucoup plus que si j'écoutais un album studio, les musiques donnent du pep's et c'est Irlandais bordellll

mhe

What an excellent band. The title sums it up live and dangerous Great riffs, vocals and lyrics. Every song excellent am toying going for my first 5.

I only knew The Boys Are Back In Town. I will continue to listen to that from time to time as that’s enough Thin Lizzy for me.

A truly great live album. Not without controversy as no one knows how much it was later overdubbed. Regardless, it still sounds fantastic and really captures the excitement of the band live

Solklar 4 för mig om de hde varit ett soloalbum. Ska jag välja att lyssna på ett livealbum måste de va riktigt speciellt. Utöver det är Lizzy ett band jag håller kärt

Nu får Josef passa sig, för nu blev pappa på ölhävarhumör.

Skitcool och asnice liveplatta. Perfekt för en som ska bli hårdrockare.

Kinda fun if you ignore the awful crowd banter.

Basically Foo Fighters if Foo Fighters weren’t shit.

Good Choice!

I don’t understand the inclusion of live albums in this list to be honest. I will say this a good live album - the production is good, there’s not a lot of other nonsense going on in the tracks. I really like Phil Lynott’s voice. The hits are good versions on here too.

Amazing! I already have listened the majority of those musics of the album, but not in sequence intended by the band, and gapless! It is a real good album with a lot of energy and power

Live albums shouldn't be on the list, in my opinion. They just aren't the same as an actual album. Also, live albums with extensive studio overdubs are not really live albums. So, with those issues this goes from a 3 to a 2 for me.

Not usually one for live albums. This was a discovery.

loved this album way too much! never listened a live album but that was great, the guitar solos were going crazy on this

Full stop, one of the greatest live rock albums ever recorded. Sure, there had to be some post-production touch ups and over dubs, but honestly you wouldn't be able to tell aside from the clean as fuck production. Phill and company sound absolutely on fire the entire time. The classics sound phenomenal, Phill is a fantastic frontman with endless charisma and a great live singing voice. The range of tracks performed is wonderful, from heavy metal anthems like "Emerald" to deep love songs with fiery guitar solos on "Still In Love with You". They even cover a Bob Seger song and make it 100% better than the original on "Rosalie". Thin Lizzy were one of the greatest rock acts of the 70's and they are fully responsible for the rise and evolution of Heavy Metal from rock music. Songs like the aforementioned "Emerald" and also "Massacre" predict and foretell of the eventual rise of Power Metal and Stoner Metal with their heavy riffs and blazing guitar solos. Feeling it come from the live setting is all the more proof of this. An easy 9/10 this record kicks ass.

Put this one off for ages thinking I wouldn't really enjoy it - I think I've heard Boys are Back one too many times for my liking - but this was face-meltingly good. Just oozes with 70s hard rock sexiness and the sound quality is so good it's hard to believe this is a live album. Stunning work

Honestly, I went in not expecting much but the overall vibe of this live concert seems actually really pleasant. Rock can easily veer into noise territory so I was surprised by how decent this was. The Boys Are Back In Town is the stand out track, no doubt. This is a must hear for casual rock fans for sure. Then there's the cover which is just great. No notes.

live albums are fun! 3.5 or something

I'm not a fan of live albums, but this has great sound production

Very solid live performance. Of course the two songs I like are his most popular songs so checks out.

At the top of their game, cool, loud, great tunes and some sick shreds. Can’t really get much better in a live album. So fun, just fucking wish I was able to see it live. 5.0/5.0 Best Song: the intro before Jailbreak

What more do you want, its got everything you need, its so good. They were so good, it's so much fun. Fucking get in. Best Track: Hard to choose, but Suicide is so good on this album

I was genuinely surprised at how much I liked this album, having only heard The Boys Are Back in Town previously. But man this is great

Wasn’t expecting a live double album this morning, but I enjoyed this more than I thought I would! Favourite track: Massacre

Has anybody here with any Irish in them... a live study in one of rock's less elegant faces 1.5

This slaps

Very good album

OMG!!!!

A live hard rock album has an uphill battle to earn my appreciation, but this one got there. The sound quality certainly isn’t the best, but the strength of the singing and the guitar shines through. By the time I reached the middle of “Still In Love With You” I was in. That’s definitely the standout track from the set — no surprise it’s the most replayed from the album. I think this is the hard rock fun people told me I was missing with KISS (which I did not find fun or good in any way). The singing and lyrics here are better, the playing is far better, and the performance feels more authentic. I’m probably not going out of my way to listen to this again any time soon, and “The Boys Are Back In Town” still doesn’t do anything for me, but I’ve got to give Thin Lizzy credit for being the most enjoyable time I’ve had with hard rock so far.

These guys are the suckiest sucks to ever suck.

These guys can jam & shredd with the best of them. Not all the songs are killer but still good notheless. Singer has an amazing voice that stays consistent throughout. ROCK ON! 4

couldnf really get through it, lytton seems a cool guy though

no las puntuó una por una porque son todas bastante similares. es rock, género que no me atrae demasiado, hay algunos buenos temas igual por ejemplo: Rosalie, Still in love with you y suicide. no es malo peor no es mi estilo tampoco

tiene jn par de caniciones buenas y bdurnos solos

Overall not bad, I recognize a couple songs. I’d need to be in the mood to listen to it though 2.5 stars

I had previously only known 1 song from this band, so I was pleasantly surprised with how much i enjoyed this! The energy throughout this album was so upbeat and fun, it was genuinely so enjoyable.

Boys are back in town, jailbreak. Really great album. IDK why the link took me to an incomplete version of the album (only 4 songs), but I was able to find the full 17 song version on Spotify.

Niet per se iets dat ik veel vaker op zou zetten, maar een meer dan prima live album

Wat mij betreft is Boys Are Back In Town een jaren 70 all-timer, maar dit is een niet-bijzondere live plaat van een verder hele okee band.

je li trebao biti dugačak lajv album? mogli su na popis staviti neki njihov studijski album koji ima the boys are back in town (ova lajv izvedba te pjesme stvarno je slaba u usporedbi sa studijskom). ovako je dosta zamorna, i ne mogu podnijeti baš više ovog bumerskog roka, koliko god sama svirka bila okej, jebiga

Tremendos músicos

Love Thin Lizzy, don't love live albums.

I liked this album. It's late rock n roll but Phil Lynett was committed in a consumable way. He is legendary in Dublin.

Liked it a lot!

This is my fifth live album in this project, and only my 60th in total. Of course, no one should listen to that many live albums. I knew Thin Lizzy's biggest hits, and based on that, 80 minutes with the band didn't sound appealing but this was somewhat better than I thought. A few good songs and a good vibe. I'm still unlikely to listen to this ever again.

Thin Lizzy's best tunes are amazing, but there are a few bores, and some of the banter is a bit off. I feel that the 75% in the studio accusation feels about right. Some great performances, but it's too clean a live recording of that time.

Most songs not available on Spotify... withholding jugement (but man this hair metal hits)

Damn this must have been one hell of a concert!

Enjoyed the album. Wasn’t a band I’d heard of before. 7/10

Overwhelming. Sometimes in a good way, sometimes in a bad way.

I was blown away when this album started, so many songs I've already heard, but these live version are even better. Makes me want to relisten to some thin lizzy songs. Amazing energy, vocal, instruments etc... In the second half it does get a bit less interesting, as not their best songs get played. Liked this album. 1. Southbound 2. Jailbreak 3. Still in love with you

Great record, i think still in love with you is one of the best songs ive ever heard

rock this is very rock so much rock, also Spotify only had the live version of the album which I thought was interesting

It's live, and it's too long, both negative criteria for me. BUT it can be really fun at times.

Really great rock n roll. Solid riffs, excellent guitar solos, and feel-good vocals. That they performed this live is a testament to their skill as musicians and performers.

rock rock till you drop

Nope

not for me

Not for me. 90 minutes of shredding guitars.

Very rock and roll and cool. Not my thing though.

Bon petit hard-rock gentil des années 70.

solid, liked it quite a bit

Epic

Eeeehhhhhh.

Not totally my type. But the album sounds good.

Listens: 2 Standout Tracks: Dancing in the Moonlight, Gut Reaction: Fuckkk. A live, double album from a band I've never heard of...... After listening: Oh! I have heard this band before, just never heard _of_ them before. This is one of those put-a-song-to-a-band scenarios. The Boy Are Back in Town is just out there in the world. You've heard it before, probably dozens of times, but if you're like me, you have literally no idea who Thin Lizzy is, despite that fact. So anyways, no where near as bad as I was expecting. The 1h17m flew by.... well not flew, but it wasn't a complete drag either. I enjoyed the crowd work. I enjoyed the saxophone. The Irish accent brings some flavor to the music. I really quite liked Dancing In the Moonlight. Johnny the Fox Meets Jimmy The Weed was also memorable. And then of course I have nothing bad to say about The Boys Are Back in Town. Misc Thoughts: Terrible album cover. Feels a little boomer-ish, but then again, I try not to play the boomer card too much. Having no frame of reference besides the studio version of The Boys... I didn't have any strong objections to the fact that this was a live album. Solid 3.

It's an uphill battle unfortunately, being a hard rock album (sigh) from the 80s (sigh) that is also a live album (sigh). It's not...awful but it's nothing special at all.

Awesome energy! Perfect example of rock during this time and easy to see how they influenced other bands of the ‘80’s

And another one rock

Love Lizzy, Phillip and this album

Surprisingly not terrible. 70s live album sound. Not really my thing, but okay.

While the energy is there, I found myself wishing for the cleaner, tighter feel of studio versions. It also runs a bit long for my taste, which made it harder to stay engaged all the way through. Not bad, but I’d rather listen to their studio work.

This rocked so much more than I expected. Not typically a live album guy but they bring it here. Still in love with you was such a jam

I think the epic style suits them well, they did glam perfectly good. I still think other songs like Cowboy and The Boys are Back in Town are great, but I prefer Emerald and Southbound. The vocals were great, specially in the melencholic tracks. Also, I (mostly) love the way Lynott writes. I have so many highlights: Suicide, Massacre, Southbound. I loved the drum solo in Sha-La-La, and my favourite was Still in Love With You. It blew me away, and it reminded me of some songs by Bowie.

Hmm this is strange. Why would they choose a double live album instead of some of their great studio albums? I guess you get a bunch of their best tunes all in one place and the quality of their live performance sounds great. Still doesn’t explain why this is on here and an album so revered as Kiss Alive is not on this list. I can think of many albums on this list that can be replaced by 2 or 3 studio albums by Thin Lizzy. Just adds to the frustration of this list.

I think any Thin Lizzy album would've been good but live albums are never albums that one "has to" listen before death.

It's grooving a lot, but a little bit too much solo

They’d probably be fun to see live, but the songs themselves aren’t really anything special.

Great Band, Great Live Record. Highlights: Jailbreak, Dancing In The Moonlight, Southbound, Rosalie/Cowgirl’s Song, Massacre, Cowboy Song, Boys Are Back In Town and Don’t Believe a Word. Solid 4.3

This is the first thing I ever heard from Thin Lizzy, which is probably a bad start but whatever. It's kind of what I expected - boomer rock, but it's actually done quite well, the live instrumentation sounds good, the energy is there and the vocals are solid. It's an enjoyable live album but I know I will probably never listen again.

Great band … sound even better live … but live albums are still cheating 😔

No live albums thanks

me gustó es power

beatiful! the real legendary

This was fine.

Nunca los había escuchado, álbum a considerar escucharlo de nuevo

Buen concierto, infravalorado por lo que pude ver, las 3 del final mis favoritas!

no es puntualmente mi estilo, tiene buenos musicos pero se me hizo repetitivo no le encontré la vuelta

What a rollicking good time, and I mean that literally.. It sounds like these guys were having the night(s) of their lives. Tons of energy that's got me swaying in my kitchen like a madman. Spins: 2 Playlist Additions - Jailbreak - Still In Love With You - Cowboy Song - The Boys Are Back In Town

Wow, incredible songs in a plenty

I’ll be honest I didn’t listen to all 8 discs of the edition that’s on Apple Music. This seemed like well put together rock music, it’s not really my speed but I can see why people like this.

Lizzy at the height of their powers must have a really been a must see concert. Great energy and musicianship. Favorite track: Still In Love With You

Peak music

Great live show.

Never listened to them before but this was fun. I just like big guitar stuff sometimes.

I was so ready to talk about how live albums are the worst and I’ll never like them, but fuck, this was so cool.

Killer energy! I'm not too familiar with Thin Lizzy other than that one big hit, so this was an interesting experience. Really great production, especially for a live album. I think I would rank this higher if I listened to it again a few more times, but for now it's a strong 3/5

A live album as a compilation of live shows ! Its like a greatest hits and I don't think it belongs here. Despite being upset with this, I've enjoyed the album, Gary's guitar did not disapoint

Enjoyed it. Not feeling it being pieced together from multiple gigs though

Tank you, tin lizzie, very cull

Great energy and up beat

The boys are back in town is a fun song but the rest really is a great bore. Having trouble between a 2 and a 3 for this one.

A fun energetic album filled with hardish rock. Everything about it is pretty good, although they don't do anything new or daring.

A fun hard-rock album, which is on the softer side of hard-rock, though that may be a more modern perspective. The concept of overdubbing a live album quite interesting, but it is a smart solution to their problem of limited time.

Been a life long Lizzy fan so I'm biased. This plays like a greatest hits collection almost. My only complaint is that most songs are played straight with no cool interludes or jams, but other than that, the energy here is palpable. Put this on while driving a long curvy road and prepare to feel pure joy. Better than Kiss Alive and Frampton Comes Alive any day.

A hell of a lot better than any live album that’s basically just playing the his has any right to be. This rocks super hard and doesn’t let up. Yes, now it’s dad rock, but the dads are right with this one. Exactly what I wanted.

Hell yeah.

Note my favorite live album but decent.

このバンドは初めて聞いたけど、ライブ盤にしてはエッジが少し欠けている印象。あとはコールアンドレスポンスが苦手。

Solid rock n roll, great guitar work.

This is the type of hard rock I don't get at all. The riffs, solos, style of voice, ballads, melodies... I find all to sound super inoffensive and dull, specially the ballad "Still In Love With You" which is super cheesy. The only thing I can give this album some credit is that it is "live", which gives it a more authentic and passionate energy than a studio album, and for an hour and a quarter, this wasn't as bad as other pure hard rock records I had to listen to. I used quotation marks in the word live because it seems there is a bit controversy around how much of this thing is live and how much studio recording they added after the recording. Either way, still hard rock, so I don't care for this album.

I remember this album coming out and been very popular. On my regular visits to the record store I always hovered over it but always found something else to buy. This sums up my attitude to Thin Lizzy. Quite like them and some good rock songs but never set my musical world alight. As regards this album it is in reality a greatest hits set in a live performance. What I discovered today and never realised before is that the mix puts Phil Lynott’s bass playing way forward of everything else. Scott Gorham’s guitar sounds flimsy and weak drowned out by the strong bass. Well it was Phil’s group so I guess Tony Visconti was duty bound to do this but to my ears it is to the detriment of the album. 3/5 26/3/26

As a live album this was alright. Not a huge Thin Lizzy fan though. Mostly harmless.

I don't think this one's for me. 2 stars

Awesome! Some classic bangers after a few samey songs at the start. A very long album but enjoyable all the way through.

För lång! Men rätt kul överlag

Innan lyssningen var jag mycket skeptisk. Verkligen inget fan av live-album i allmänhet. Var inte särskilt bekant med Thin Lizzy utöver hitsen. Läste att det är tveksamt hur live det här ens kan räknas som med tanke på hur mycket de fixade i efterhand. Men under vad som närmast kan beskrivas som direkta hot så lyssnade jag ovanligt noga och flera gånger och det går verkligen inte att komma till någon annan slutsats än att det här äger. Otroligt dynamisk musikglädje med energin från live kombinerat med riktigt tighta versioner av låtarna och många härliga partier och övergångar som jag gärna kommer höra många gånger till.

Starkt livealbum, hade nog haft jävla skoj om jag var där men i det här formatet så är det inte mer än najs att ha hört tyvärr. Men bra energi och inte långt ifrån högre betyg.

Live och livsfarligt!

Jomen visst, men blev lite tradigt i längden.

Det bästa exemplet på hur ett livealbum borde låta. I princip alla spår är fullproppade med känsla och är mer energiladdade än originalinspelningarna. Toppen helt enkelt

Very good.

Can't hear much here to like. Too long and not a great live recording. Probably sound good if you where there and loaded.

Overrated band with only a few good songs.

As a bass player, everybody always talks about how awesome Phil Lynott is as a frontman. I liked this being a live show so you could hear the dynamics of the band and crowd. The dual lead guitars is such a great sound.

wasn't expecting to like this as much as i did! jailbreak is great. i will probably listen to the studio versions of these songs later.

Great sounding live record. Some great tunes in there but it all got a bit same same for me. Still, they must've been great as a live band

I think I’ll always struggle with a live album- it’s so overstimulating and hearing an audience can take me out of what I’m looking for when I’m listening to music. I think it’s also maybe not my genre. But Dancing in the Moonlight is always lovely. I’m committing to trying again in a different atmosphere, perhaps driving tomorrow. Wow especially because I’ve learned their lead, Phil Lynott, was Black which is wild for an Irish rock band.

Not my thing, I don't like most classic rock. I knew Dancing in the moonlight from the Smashing Pumpkins cover, but I much prefer that version. I can't stand saxophone in songs either.

Great band, tight set. Good listen of some old classic rock hits with added live energy.

Good. They’ve got a certain recognizable upbeat rock, entitled-white male sound that os captured well by “the Boyz are back in town”. Couldn’t find this whole album anywhere, but i heard enough to know it’s a 3. Then spotify took me to a song of there’s about partner physical abuse, which was revolting. Not a wonder that Thin Lizzie didn’t make the bigs.

Once again, a very enjoyable live album. Is there a list of like '101 live albums to listen to before you die' as I might prefer that overall. Lots of energy and loads of fun and some good guitar playing.

It’s good but not really super into it personally

Quite good.

Usually I don't enjoy live albums, but this one was an exception. 4 stars.

Heard Before? Nope. Not a fan of live rock albums - the studio exists for good reasons! Notes: - the vocals, while excellent, suffer the most compared to the studio recordings. the bass sounds like it was played with a hammer and the guitars are mixed oddly and unevenly. - despite the many negative features of the recording, the drums sound good. - all the performances are top tier, competent and committed, although the ballads really sag compared to the studio versions. - sequencing is just right. - i think i finally understand Thin Lizzy's influence on The Hold Steady. - like all Thin Lizzy, they take tight, interestingly constructed songs and then splatter them liberally with twin guitar showcases. Verdict: All the problems of live albums of the period. Great for those who love crowd noise, lame banter, subpar vocals from great vocalists, and extra extra guitar wank. Listen Again? No way, but I'll revisit the Jailbreak album at some point.

If this is the closest I'll get to seeing Thin Lizzy live, I'm still a happy man. It's packed to the brim with many classics and shows the band at their peak. I know a lot of it was overdubbed in the studio but that never detracts from the quality or the energy.

- rokin räimet ja vielä livenä hell ye - ois kuvitellu et tää on jotenki aivan super livealbumi mut aika perus rokin räimettä

i'm not one to listen to live albums much, let alone Thin Lizzy (aside from listening to their Jailbreak album for the first time the other day), but WOW was i blown away. their energy is pure electricity here. Thin Lizzy is an absolute BEAST at these live shows!! this has honestly convinced me to listen to them more. favorite track(s): all sounded amazing played live, but my favorites were Still In Love With You and Sha-La-La. they just hit different. and that drum solo, oh my GOD

Too long for the day I had, pretty good but

No es mi estilo, aunque no está mal

This was surprisingly solid for a live album

the boys y still in love with you son cabronas, el resto ahi noma

In general, I tend to not listen to live albums. There are very few live albums that I'd reach for over a regular studio album, but this one is great. Outside of their big hit, I couldn't name you one of their songs, but I'm excited to dig into more of their stuff after this. 4 Stars

1978. Various archive recordings from earlier tours.

hum

Now that’s a live album! Killer document by this highly influential band.

probs get half their points from me for being irish

Amazing rock album

Good lord this is a great album. Dual guitars, fantastic bass, terrific drums, fabulous tunes .. and Huey Lewis on harmonica....? Well, okay? This might be one of the greatest live albums ever.

I can see why they were picked the #2 best Irish band. I really enjoyed this live album.

I still don't want to listen to live albums. This one felt like it was the same throughout the whole thing.

Un buen disco en general, no soy tan fan del género pero me gustó, lo disfrute y creo que funciona muy bien. Creo que podemos destacar que es un buen disco en vivo, con muchas virtudes interpretativas y performativas. Así mismo, en el aspecto musical creo que funciona muy bien, no conocía muchas canciones de Thin Lizzy antes de escuchar este disco así que para mi si fue una sorpresa encontrar canciones muy buenas en este disco en vivo, definitivamente me gustaría escuchar la versión de estudio de algunas de ellas. En general creo que es un buen disco, muy bien hecho y que funciona muy bien, sin embargo no lo considero sumamente memorable o uno de los grandes en esta lista.

5/5. Not necessarily my kind of music but the guitar work and taste was there.

Comes out of the gate strongly but then falters a bit. I’m not the greatest fan of ‘live’ albums’ anyway, because isn’t the point to actually be there and a recording doesn’t transport me in the same way. Surprised at how tight they are as a band tbh and there are some bangers to be sure

the boys are back in town

Good live album. Prefer the album versions

J’aime bien le son !

класно, але не настільки, щоби я пищала тож лише 4 зірки.

Not for me

Good stuff, but not going to change any lives at this point.

Someone’s uncle balloted for this to be included.

Excellent

Classic rock, first couple weren't really my speed, but it gets better as it goes on.

One of the albums that got me into heavy rock, introduced me to Iron Maiden (dual lead guitars), and so forth. Of all the tracks Dancing in the Moonlight used to be my favourite. Today, getting back to this album, I can't help to experience the sound somehow a little hollow. Like there's something, maybe an added instrument, to make the sound more full. Still, a great album.

This is basically exactly how live Rock & Roll is supposed to sound, to me. So much energy, heavy, you can just feel that the band and the crowd is having an awesome time. Really doesn’t get much better than this.

3 stars

Me sorprende que el hard rock llegue tan atrás como los 70. Me imagino a la gente en la época hablando de este álbum como quien habla hoy en día de infant annihilator. Gratamente sorprendido con alguna como Dancing in the moonlight. Me jode que solo haya encontrado live performances pero, aunque se escuchen muy bien. Muy groovy, bien contento. Seguramente si hubiera nacido 30 años antes, sería lo que habría escuchado. Le doy 5 estrellas porque quiero tener en cuenta el año en el que salió. Si este álbum saliera hoy, le habría dado 3, pero tiene 40 fokin años.

I'm about as neutral as you can get for this one. It's fine.

Enjoyable to listen to, really only knew “boys are back in town”. Very energetic and cool, cute music.
