Great, actually. 3.5
I wasn't aware that this list included live albums, and it seems a bit odd that Thin Lizzy's double live album is included. Far from bad, there are a lot of stand outs here. Jailbreak kicks things off well. "Dancing in the Moonlight" in "Massacre" might be the apex of the album, and the transition of "Cowboy Song" into "The Boys Are Back in Town" has the audience rightfully going bananas. But as good as Phil Lynott sounds and how much of a groove the band often falls into, their catalogue just isn't deep enough to sustain a double live album.
Not sure why select Live albums make the list. I like Thin Lizzy. This might be a little too much Thin Lizzy for the average listener.
Я читав про цей альбом. Послухаємо)
Was fine. Nothing jumped out much
Not my usual style, but I enjoyed it well enough
some songs were really good but most of the album bored me tbh
Hot take, that call and response was at least 3.6 times better than Freddie mercurys
Didn't realize my buddy was quoting these guys when he would say the boys are back in town whenever we hung out (a hole in my music education) so it was a very pleasant surprise to hear that when listening and triggering fond memories. I went from feeling at best neutral about Thin Lizzy to feeling fond of this and somewhat nostalgic instantly. My broader opinion is this album feels like a pretty generic hard rock album - everything about the music is quality but nothing is super iconic or standout. However, if I was asked what the median late 70's rock sounded like I would probably point to this (which I guess means it is pretty iconic?). If I could give fractional scores this would be a 3.5. I lean towards liking it somewhat based on 'The Boys are Back in Town' alone.
Great live album from a great live band
dubbed live
Rock…Irish… what more do you need?
Standard live album. Some sound great, some sound average and some are bad. 3/5
better than expected
I truly think I can’t go lower than a three solely for IASIP
The best live album on this list so far but still a live album in the end
goddamnit it erased all my notes. im not typing again. average album but I kinda got more into the second half - baby drives me crazy was fun
painfully mid mostly but one song was very good
This is a good album, I just feel like I've lost a lot of my luster when it comes to dad rock. I've been listening to the greatest hits for decades, so it's tough to be impressed by the rest. Yes the boys are back in town is a great song, but I just couldn't feel super into this album as a whole. Not bad, just not super exciting either
This was an enjoyable way to familiarize myself with Thin Lizzy's lesser known music, and I found it more complex and interesting than their hits. There was a lot of jazz, blues, and rock influence that stood out with technical appeal. Still in Love with You exhibits some great guitar work and jazzy supporting instruments. Really enjoyed this track as an example of more interesting and talented musicianship than what I've heard from songs like Jailbreak.
A pretty good set by a pretty good band.
Don't know why they're so concerned about someone jailbreaking their phone.
This was a great album - good songs, great music and such, but I’ve removed some points solely because live albums are like best of compilations and I think that takes away from this type of list - not to mention the fact they redid the sound in the studio for songs. Happy to get more exposure to Thin Lizzy songs - the music itself is great.
I could imagine that a lot of these songs sound better in-studio but these songs just don't sound very good. They're at least a little fun, but there's some really poor mixing and a lack of energy throughout that makes it hard to give this anymore than a shrug.
buen album, todas las canciones muy iguales lo que si
Too much guitar wankery for my tastes. Otherwise it's OK
Took me a while to give this a fair shot - i don't think live recordings belong on the list, even if post produced like this one That said, there's a tremendous medley centered around Boys Are Back in Town, and in general it gets the point across that Thin Lizzy were an excellent live act
É bom, é mais ou menos meu estilo de musica, vale dar uma olhada de novo futuramente.
Pretty long but had some really solid moments! Gotta love thin lizzy. I recently watched a video about how live albums are “faked.” Was def interesting listening to this with that context. I love the fake sound of it though it’s def a product of its time
Ye it was good, I don’t think I paid that much attention tbh, that’s my bad Highlights: Dancing in the Moonlight Massacre Still in Love With You Fav: Massacre I think
don't really have much of an opinion. kind of turned into background noise at some point...
Lowkey they had that shit locked down
hat mir eigentlich gefallen vorallem southbound, dancing in the moonlight & still in love with you
Not a fan of Live Albums on here, im also not really a fan of compilation albums either. But this was a great listen.
Ça, c'est du rock
Fun stuff. They rock, surprising range considering the big hits. Would have been a few fun concerts to get fucking drunk as shit at.
Strong 3 ******************************************** --Jailbreak...good song. prefer the studio version --Emerald...hell yeah dueling guitars. headbanger --Southbound...we slow things down. it's pleasant but I want more songs like "Emerald" --Rosalie / Cowgirl's Song...penned by Bob Seger and it sounds like it --Dancing in the Moonlight (It's Caught Me in Its Spotlight)...another pleasant groove but give me more "Emerald"! --Massacre...here we go. hell yeah --Still in Love with You...pleading ballad. too long. nice guitar at the end --Johnny the Fox Meets Jimmy the Weed...funky fresh --Cowboy Song...the double lead guitars really add something --The Boys Are Back in Town...classic fun. the backup vocals don't hit as hard live --Don't Believe a Word...another sick guitar solo --Warrior...solid rocker --Are You Ready...generic but fun arena rocker --Suicide...way more fun than the title implies --Sha La La...fun bass but pretty forgettable overall. turns into a drum solo. not a fan of drum solos --Baby Drives Me Crazy...some honky-tonk stuff. it's a groove --The Rocker...title ain't lying
Decent enough but not a fan of live albums
Hard to give a fair shot when Spotify only has a quarter of the album at the time I got this entry, even then it's Thin Lizzy and what is on Spotify is some great live versions of their biggest hits
Not a big fan of live albums, but this one is pretty good. Made for good background music while working
In terms of a live album this is a pretty good one they did all the hits and I'm sure if I was there I would have been stoked as fuck. Today I did learn that Thin Lizzy was from Ireland.
Elävä ja vaarallinen ohut lizzy. Menevää rokkia, livelevy vähä verotti kuuntelua.
Really enjoyed listening to the guitar and the overall vibes. You can definitely envision the energy he brought to the stage. It was the perfect background music it didn’t annoy me at all really.
Poco que decir, suena bien diría. Necesito un poco más de tiempo para escucharlo más. Lo voy a dejar guardado para repasarlo
tem umas mt boas, mas ainda mantenho minha opinião sobre álbuns ao vivo no top 1001 álbuns pra ouvir antss de morrer...
gostei de várias e até q n é tão ruim msm sendo ao vivo mas preferia q n fosse
I enjoyed discovering Thin Lizzy live.
Suprisingly good. I never really resonated with Thin Lizzy but I enjoyed this live album it is however a little long but hey its a live set so what would you expect. Nice riffs solid vocals a little Clarkson style Dad Rock otherwise its wasnt bad at all.
Going in I only knew a couple of the hits (The Boys Are Back In Town and Jailbreak), neither of which I enjoy very much. Some of this album was surprisingly good, especially the first few songs. It got a little tedious as it went along, and the last four or five songs were especially boring. This could have been a pretty good single-length album, but it overstays its welcome as is. 3/5
I still don't understand why all these live albums are on here. I can't really feel the energy if I'm not there. This one was fine
Dime a dozen 70s rock. For some reason, the author of this list loves that shit. I don't. I doesn't move anything in me and I don't really find it fun or interesting. I listened to it, and I didn't hate it.
Very good fun
Cool little breakdown followed by guitar trading on "Emerald". The sudden sforzando (near the end, about a minute left ) on "Rosalie / Cowgirl's Song" was pretty cool. The crowd is into them!!! "Dancing in the Moonlight" has a pretty cool opening, doubling-of-the-bassline sort of deal. The first sign of horns is also on this song!! Saxophone solo is mic'd + going through the house?, it could be given a little more love (volume needs to be turned up). Cool start to "Massacre". "Still in Love with You" has a nice placement in the set. Get people going in the start with energy-filled, upbeat songs and then take them down after a couple with a ballad. "Cowboy Song", I feel, is used as a transition out of the slower couple of tunes beforehand to get back to the upbeat songs by having the intro be a sort of "as-cued" section. Dropped straight into "The Boys are Back in Town", cool way to do it.
I like a rock live album and this was pretty good. Nothing I loved or a top rock/live album for me, but good.
Блять опять упоротые лайвы
i firmly believe every artist should release a live album for each of their albums. something about a live recording is so much better. great record with lots of energy and power!
Serviceable if somewhat short live album
Pretty fun!
Definitely not a fan of live albums, I’ve realized. It’s… decent? But really not my style.
Kinda long but overall I enjoyed it. I'd give it a 4 if it ended after Don't Believe a Word. The Boys Are Back In Town goes hard.
Rating: 7/10 Pretty cool live 70's album and could just be the way I would most prefer to listen to some Thin Lizzy. You can definitely tell it has a studio revision quality to it but it still makes for a good 'live version' of a lot of these fun rock songs. The main highlights are the whole tracks 1-6 run, and Cowboy Song and The Boys Are Back In Town back to back is great. Warriors had some cool soloing. After that the double album starts to tire a bit. I like a lot of the canon around them. A Dublin band, a black hard rock frontman at that time, and him being a groovy bassist at that, is a pretty cool and unique combination of qualities. I'm not sure if I'll ever really become a big fan but they definitely have my respect, I may be shuffling their songs in the future to check out more of their extensive work.
Like a naughtier Boston, or a more playful MC5, Thin Lizzy gave a good show. They were showmen, not visionaries, and they borrowed the musical tropes of the day shamelessly. Their project was obvious--sex and drugs and rock n roll--and apparently they were met by hordes of young adults who were fully on board with that cultural project as well. Enjoyable, certainly.
Ok album nothing special.
I’d never really explored much beyond TBABIT but this is lot better than I expected. Some really solid tracks and a lot more influential on Iron Maiden & metal then I appreciated.
I listened to this album as I tried jogging my way around downtown Glendale, turning my daily patrol into an exercise opportunity. I was immediately surprised at just how deep and resonant the voice of the lead singer was, and that surprise continued as I began to hear just how much more sophisticated and mature Thin Lizzy were than I had anticipated based on their vibe and the only song of theirs I knew, The Boys Are Back In Town. Unfortunately, I feel like this live album just doesn't resonate as deeply with me as it would if I knew the songs I feel like I'm missing out on the best versions of these songs, which feels even more bittersweet when I'm otherwise so pleasantly surprised at just how considerate and intellectual of a band Thin Lizzy were. If there's one main feeling I took away from Live And Dangerous, it's a sense of disappointment for having only known this band for The Boys Are Back In Town, and even then, for not fully appreciating just how deep even that song was. I also did a huge double-take when I heard the band shout-out their harmonica player on Baby Drives Me Crazy, Huey goddamn Lewis. Every performance here is technically proficient and energetically performed, I just don't have much connection to these songs, and the live takes just don't win me over as much as the studio versions probably would. Highlights: Jailbreak, Southbound, Rosalie / Cowgirl's Song, Dancing in the Moonlight, Still in Love with You, The Boys Are Back in Town, Warrior, The Rocker
This is an enjoyable album and it works very well as a "live" experience. There's a lot of great guitar work here, that is probably the biggest strength on display, and there are some fun songs as well. Favorite tracks: "Still in Love with You," "Baby Drives Me Crazy"
It was solid, some songs I really liked and others I didn't care about.
This was better than I anticipated. Pretty good songs even though the recording was kinda wack. The guitar work here is really fun
This goes on and on and on, but you get the gist of it after a couple songs. "The Boys Are Back in Town" is a classic, though I appreciated "Are You Ready," "Massacre," and "Dancing in the Moonlight" as well. I'll be fine with those, because I found this pretty repetitive overall.
I liked it - I think it's hard for me to like really really engage with hard rock albums like this for some reason. I think it's the lack of highs and lows. when everything is up beat like this it can just feel monotonous
Quite the impressive live offering from one of hard rock's most unsung heroes. I had never really thought much about this band besides hearing "Boys Are Back in Town" on rock radio here and there. You won't find anything super daring or out of the ordinary on this one, but this album offers plenty of straightforward rockers that keep you amped for its entire runtime (and 76 minutes is a VERY long time to stay amped.) Not sure how all-important this album but it's a hell of a good time and an excellent example of how interesting no-frills rock could be at the genre's peak.
Its alright, they have a lot of energy but it gets very samey and I prefer the studio versions. It starts off really strong but the sameyness kicks in about halfway through.
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?
Fun - nothing overly special. Favorite songs: Still in Love with you, Dancing in the moonlight Rating: 6.5/10
good
Que buenas rolas. Se ve que la raza los disfrutaba macizo.
Good 70’s rock. They opened with their best song. Too many ballads
★★★☆☆ Bastante bueno para ser en vivo.
Rosalie
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.
Warum fängt das zur mitten hin an plötzlich wie die E-Street-Band zu klingen? Ansonsten ist das ok. Bin maximal neutral.
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
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.
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.
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.
Sterk 3er
Pessfet! Men klarer ikke lange liveplater.
Great tunes a little long plus live albums are a bit naff
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.
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."
Зачем?
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.
okay, good solos in some of them
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.
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.
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.
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)
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 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.
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
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
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.
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).
I enjoyed this, and can totally feel how good it would have been to see thin Lizzy live.
mhe
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.
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
Skitcool och asnice liveplatta. Perfekt för en som ska bli hårdrockare.
Kinda fun if you ignore the awful crowd banter.
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.
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.
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.
Wasn’t expecting a live double album this morning, but I enjoyed this more than I thought I would! Favourite track: Massacre
nao sei pa parem de me obrugar a dar ranking
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.
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
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.
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)
Overwhelming. Sometimes in a good way, sometimes in a bad way.
rock this is very rock so much rock, also Spotify only had the live version of the album which I thought was interesting
rock rock till you drop
solid, liked it quite a bit
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.
And another one rock
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 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 😔
This was fine.
Buen concierto, infravalorado por lo que pude ver, las 3 del final mis favoritas!
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.
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
Enjoyed it. Not feeling it being pieced together from multiple gigs though
Great energy and up beat
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.
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
För lång! Men rätt kul överlag
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.
Jomen visst, men blev lite tradigt i längden.
Very good.
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
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.
It’s good but not really super into it personally
Quite good.
Too long for the day I had, pretty good but
No es mi estilo, aunque no está mal
the boys y still in love with you son cabronas, el resto ahi noma
hum
probs get half their points from me for being irish
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.
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
Good live album. Prefer the album versions
Good stuff, but not going to change any lives at this point.
Classic rock, first couple weren't really my speed, but it gets better as it goes on.
3 stars
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.
Ну ок, это, вероятно, был великолепный энергичный концерт, особенно для фанатов. Но это никак не может быть одним из ЛУЧШИХ альбомов, даже этой группы, потому что это лайв!
Really classic rock and roll tunes with an all timer in the boys are back in town. Had a lot of fun with this one even if it doesn’t really make you think too much.
Not for me. Interesting how much of this is dubbed in the studio. It makes the quality better but still has the live album vibe j don’t like. Can’t be mad at Boys are Back in Town tho.
My favourite of the live albums by far, even if only because this one felt so much more full of life and urgent. I can’t say that I loved any of the songs but it exceeded my expectations I’m sorry that it provoked anti-Irish hate I liked that this one actually sounded like a live show that it might have been fun to attend
First time I hear about this band, and this is good
I don't know if I would consider Thin Lizzy a must hear band in your lifetime, there are quite a number of 70s rock bands that sound similar. That being said this was a good album and if you're going to pick any Thin Lizzy album to include, this would be the one.
1978 год, и Thin Lizzy выпускают один из самых заряженных живых альбомов в истории рока. Записан в основном в Hammersmith Odeon в ноябре 1976-го — там, где зал и сцена буквально дышат друг в друга. Фил Линотт был редким явлением: чернокожий фронтмен в британском хард-роке, харизма которого пробивала стены. Горэм и Робертсон на двух гитарах плели такие гармонии, что студийные версии тех же песен после этого звучат бледновато. Честность требует оговорки: продюсер Тони Висконти потом признавал, что студийных доработок там было немало. Но знаешь что — не важно. "Jailbreak", "The Boys Are Back in Town", "Rosalie" — всё это звучит так, будто тебя схватили за шкирку и не отпускают сорок минут. Живой или нет, но этот альбом до сих пор поднимает с дивана.
Not my thing.
3.3 Start off with the classic line of I don't think live albums should be on here except in extreme circumstances. This doesn't feel extreme. Doesn't help that the fidelity is not the best. Music itself, I enjoyed the more metally bits. Emerald, Massacre etc. Never bothered with these guys before but that guitarist can really shred. This is offset by too many pretty naff slow ballad-esque ones. Overall it's good, but don't think I'll be revisiting.
It's live, not sure about dangerous though. I think it works pretty well as a live album, but it didn't blow me away. Pretty good.
3+
Oeh een livealbum. Best goede manier om een nieuwe artiest te leren kennen, was hier alleen bekend met "The Boys are Back in Town". Lekker energieke gitarenherrie, miss beetje te glam voor mijn smaak. En had het na 5 kwartier ook wel weer gehoord op zich. Zou het nog weleens opzetten
Lekkere muziek maar ik ben over het algemeen niet van de live albums. Zeker niet als ik het concert zelf niet heb bezocht.
3.5
I mean it was alright. Probably helped that it wasn't really a live album.
Every track after 20 seconds: hell yeah! get down! Every track after 1 minute: it's kinda boring now, actually.
Liked the first 2/3 of the album in terms of good vocals and plenty of guitar-y guitar, although nothing besides Boys are Back in Town was particularly memorable.
didn't feel anything crazy about this but was nice to listen to
idk pretty solid live album. i haven't listened to thin lizzy outside of the hits, so it was neat to hear some songs i didn't know "live" for the first time. would maybe put this one on again. i quite liked "still in love with you"
I like thin lizzy alright but i am sick and tired of live albums
Decent, not super memorable. 2.5-3
Not really sure what’s dangerous here, other than maybe falling asleep while driving when this is on.
A rousing live performance by a hard rock 70s band, featuring Phil Lynott's unique husky vocal delivery of story lyrics bolstered by the band's characteristic twin guitar backing. Great guitar solos, good music - includes their two big hits Jailbreak and The Boys Are Back in Town, and the rest of the songs are just as satisfying.
3.5⭐️/5 02.19.2026
A lot of the tracks have the same sound, Boys are Back in Town x infinity
More enjoyable that I expected.
Not sure why this was chosen vs the studio album. Good songs though!

6/10
I never really got in to Thin Lizzy. They were probably a bit old school for me. This kind of sums that up: it's a bit rambling and rarely sounds like an actual live album. Which is a shame. Not terrible, but not great either. Just about creeps up to 3, but it's really 2.51
Still don't understand the rubric for live albums ending up on this list but it's fun enough. See you at Dino's Bar and Grill.
Meh
I was pleasantly surprised by this album. Great frontman with thundering bass.
Great album I really enjoyed listening to this artist, I did add most of these songs to my playlist and I will be looking into this artist more!
That was long.
Great fun and they sound amazing live. Really enjoyable with Jailbreak and The Boys are Back in Town.
Pretty good not a bad listen
Not always in the mood for shredding to the max but this is pretty fun. Good for Friday night field party with jean jacket natural light &tx On the heels of Disintegration it was a relief. Sounds like some controversy about how live it actually is, but if it sounded anything like this I would have rocked out with my hawk out. Just between us girls my wife said it was scaring our dog and made me turn it off but she left so we're jamming.. 3.9
Classic rock album, but didn’t really catch my interest or my full attention, feels like something you have heard before. There were a few tracks that I liked but nothing crazy.
Good fun
Well at least the live albums are mostly best of's, so I got to hear most of the thin lizzy stuff I like, 1 or 2 new songs that were nice
Neat! :)
fun and fine i don't knowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww i am suffering from food-borne illness
Mellow rock. Its alright. 3/5
very good very nice
Another live album that absolutely rocks out. Maybe I'm uninformed but there doesn't seem to be anything particularly special about this concert. Maybe it just feels weird to have so many live albums on this list, as enjoyable as they may be. Going high 3 here.
Ihan menevää rokkia, mut aina hankala kuunnella näitä livelevyjä. Meni mukavasti tosin sunnuntaiaamu tän parissa
Joo tämmöset liverieskat on aina vähän hankalia lähestyä. Tässä tapauksessa täston vissiin rajusti studiossa jälkikäteen äänitelty soitantaa rumpuja lukuunottamatta ja sitten pistetty livemölyä sekaan, joten se MUTKISTAA suhtautumista entisestään. Kirkkain silmin meinaan mietin, että aika jämäkkää soitantaa. Sinänsä tää on sitten vissiin enempi kokoelma tai jotain. Sillai tää nyt on ihan kivaa rokkia ja tuollon tota lassikkoa seassa. En jaksa ruveta nipottaankaan arvosanahommissa kun tän parissa kuitenkin ihan viihtyy.
Ihan ok. Välillä vähän pörinää soundit, mutta biisit kantaa.
It seems I really didn't like this as much as nost people, but as good as just their studio stuff to me which is pretty solid stuff but nothing extremely special.
On the one hand, it’s generic 70s power rock, but on the other hand, it does that well.
This one was just alright. Like many live albums it's nothing mind-blowing, but the performances are still great and Thin Lizzy just in general were a really good band with many great songs, so I don't mind. Overall it's simply a decent album and I enjoyed my time listening it. 3/5
The only Thin Lizzy album you need to hear is Jailbreak. Jailbreak might be the only album you need to hear, period. This is good. Most of their records are, but c'mon.
enjoyable. good songs!
Not a huge listener of live albums, but this one was pretty good! Never heard much of Thin Lizzy before this, and it was a great introduction! Some songs were a bit long, but I still got a few likes out of this one!
Good concert album. I'm usually very demanding of live albums, I need them to be really good and entertaining for me to listen to them. I need a lot of interaction with the crowd, I want to feel like I'm there. Just listening to music from the album won't cut it (exception to S&M from Metallica, as it's just a whole new world of their music). And in terms of "Live And Dangerous" I feel like I just got very good renditions of TL songs. And it's not like they are a band I'm particularly into. So all in all - a good album, easy to listen and quite fun. But not something I'll be going back to at any point. 6/10
For a live album, it was good. I do need to revisit it again.
Wait. Thin Lizzy has other songs other than Boys Are Back In Town? And they're actually pretty good songs?
Hmm! A nice big thick slice of thin lizzy. A con job to call this live; and tbh, their greatest hits would be better - some inclusions here were bettered with the release of Black Rose. Great fun
3.5
Very clean for a live album. Not much crowd noise. Spunds like the best of a set of live recordings. Overall the album is ok but I have heard better live albums.
Best Song: The Boys Are Back In Town. This really does make the boys being back in town feel like a joyous occasion. Worst Song: Still In Love With You. A tediously long song, full of guitar wankery that - although good - wasn't interesting enough to speak to me in any conceivable way. Overall: Technically proficient, but it has a kind of soulless quality that prevents me from really getting into it. Add that to the overly long run time, and the fact that it's oddly a hodgepodge of different live performances so you don't even get continuity of a single experience, it feels like an odd inclusion to this list.
Very stereotypical. It's good but I really wasn't in the mood for this. Not any better than last time.
It's nice, the songs are catchy, but they all sound very similar to each other, so none of them really stands out.
It's ok, not bad.
Perfectly fine hard rock... I guess? Clearly a lot of technical skill, but this kind of music just doesn't appeal to me despite being to appreciate it. If that makes sense?
Dude i can't even listen to most of the songs
Great band.
Decent hard rock
I'm a bit split on this: It's definitely good music for what it is, but what it is is a genre I find too middle-of-the-road to be genuinely interesting. I can hear how influential this band is just by how rock-bar-music everything sounds. However, I wouldn't mind seeing it live. I really don't like the live album sound and vibe in this one, it makes for a punishing prolonged listening: And it's a double album to boot. If it was a single album of the best songs and studio recorded, I could see this being a 4-5. But as it stands as a product, I gotta deduce a star for just how unpleasant a super long live album is.
For a live album this seemed pretty darn good. Would likely have rated higher if Spotify let me listen to more than 4 songs.
Sometimes nice but also boring
Thick lizard
Fun live show with solid hits and bangers
Fairly enjoyable. I liked it more than I would have thought.
My Dad hates “The Boys Are Back In Town” so much that it’s become a family joke. Once again a decent album but I was expecting more punch.
Good straightforward rock
10/01/2026 1. jailbreak - liking the bass :) vocals are really nice as well! guitar solo is reallllly nice. "hey female"????? 70s rock band being a bit misogynistic is not new, but female is odd?? *2. emerald - liking the sound of this one more immediately... the guitar(s?) are reaaaallly nice! bass and vocals still great as well :) reeealllly nice ending!! *3. southbound - loving the chorus of this. a bit mellower than the previous track... lyrics are very bittersweet... love it <3 4. rosalie (cowgirl's song) - back to rockier. his voice is a lot smoother than i was expecting for a hard rock album, which is a very happy surprise for me! instrumentals are still great - love the guitar riff in the chorus! 5. dancing in the moonlight (it's caught me in it's spotlight) - guitar and bass is a bit groovier at the start... not as big on this one as i was the other ones, but not even thirty secs in yet.... saxaphone!!!! bass is great! saxaphone solo!!!!!! love when the guitar kicks in... ending reallllly great :) 6. massacre - loving the way the songs are fading into each other... drums are fantastic on this one. bass and guitar fantastic as well!! guitar solo is reallly great!!! lyrics are sososo good! *7. still in love with you - immediately sounds softer.... loving the vibe of this one.... reallly sweet instruments and vocals.... very groovy bass. 8. johnny the fox meets jimmy the weed - halfway through! loving it but not sure how i'm going to get through another half lol. oooh funkier.... very reminiscent of tommy the cat....... really loving the vibe of this one. lots of guitar solos in this album! they're really nice, but not sure if i'll feel the same eight more tracks in..... 9. cowboy song - immediately more folksier.... softer guitars are reallly lovely.... love the word coyote.... (don't know why, just nice to say/hear). please stop saying female!!! liking it still now it's gotten louder, but did like the softer sound a bit more. drums in the chorus are nice :) 10. the boys are back in town - have to admit, not massively looking forward to this one.... better when hearing the verses as well as the chorus, but it's too overplayed to feel energetic, especially when i've still got about fourty-odd minutes left halfway through an album!!!!!!! live version is better though :) 11. don't believe a word - had a break :) immediately liking the energy! really liked it, but getting a bit tired of this now and not as good as the other songs. 12. warriors - bassline is really nice. guitar solo really great as well. 13. are you ready? - ready for this album to end. immediately sounds very stadium rock... not crazy about it, but still really nice. would probably like it more if i wasn't waiting for this album to end, because the instruments are still reaaalllly great! 14. suicide - loving the guitar riff on this one! bassline is really great as well... just a bit samey after fourteen songs!!!!!!!! 15. sha-la-la - drum solo is nice and also a great change up!!!!!!!!! going a bit insane right now cannot wait for this to be over! another drum solo!!!!!!! 16. baby drives me crazy - how is this seven minutes long..... liking the groove at the start though. harmonica is nice, along with the other instruments still. reminds me of another song and i can't think what!! 17. the rocker - bass realllly nice. liked this one a lot more than the last few tracks, but still very relieved it's over nowww :) was expecting more of a stadium rock sound (from the little i know about thin lizzy, i already knew they were a 70s/80s hard rock band), but eneded up really loving this one..... but it did not need to be that long. a lot of the songs also sounded fairly similar to each, but i love how they sound so i don't really mind though lol. particularly loved the more mellower songs and it did get a bit too stadium rock towards the end, but maybe i had just become too cynical after an hour and a half of this!!!!!!!
I’m writing this review and I’m not even done the record because it is a live album. And I don’t think any ordinary live record should be on here. And this is an ordinary live record. It sounds ok. The remastered recording is pretty clear. The music is played accurately and the riffs and solos, which Thin Lizzy is known for, hit, just like the records. My issue with live records is, it’s 9 times out of 10 a greatest hits record but live. 1001 records I need to hear before I die should not be a live record. Give me the actual album or albums. I want the start to finish. The vision of the record. Not a cut and paste greatest hits live records. It doesn’t do it for me. Sure there are exceptions to this. Live records that have made history and are a must SEE. Hearing live records doesn’t even give you the full experience. Imagine listening to a live Iron Maiden record and not seeing the visuals. Or Nine Inch Nails, or Tool, or Pink Floyd… sure they’re going to sound awesome. But a hug portion of the experience is visual. So live recordings, although are great to listen to, don’t belong on a “prestigious” list such as this. I can copy and paste this to every live review.
not on apple music? fun tho
Best Track - "Jailbreak"
Thought that was a well-produced, clean and fun Live album
Only knew one of these tracks I think, enjoyed the album though
Listened on: Spotify Listening experience: Multiple attempts Finally got through the 17 songs - a long one! I didn’t hate it but it got a bit boring. He has a great voice and the guitars are great.
As far as the genre, it's better than ACDC, Kiss etc. I'm still not buying it though.
Fun live album, couple good songs. Overall average
Good live album, rather long
Hard Rock, definitivamente tampoco es de mi géneros pero entiendo la fama. Ne gustaron un par de canciones.
I saved a few songs to relisten in Ireland, but it’s not very memorable
I enjoyed the album, classic rock with live band energy, elevated by Phil Lynott’s great voice.
Honestly, pretty good dad rock, liked "Massacre" a lot
It's alright. Maybe a bit too repetitive.
Enjoyable classic rock but fairly middling overall
spoko spoko najbardziej wyłapałam podczas słuchania cover Sade haha
Not bad but not great either. I’d pick a lot of other rock albums to listen to over this
It’s not bad at all but a top 1001 album? I think some Thin Lizzy album would belong but a Live one feels like a weird choice. I would get how Deep Purple’s Made in Japan or The Who’s Live at Leeds could make it or even Kiss Alive. The latter might not be from a band with as much cred but as an album it did more impact on their career. Weak 3
My rating 3.0
I hate live albums. I also hate fake live albums. Songs are decent.
I have always loved Thin Lizzy dueling guitar solos, and this record doesn't disappoint in that respect. 🎸🎸 The guitar jams get 10/10. This band was at its best when Brian Robertson was in it. Thin Lizzy is rad. Live recordings, however, are not always rad. Drums sound thin and far away on many tracks. The drum solo on Sha-La-La sounds like he is inside a tube. Phil's mic on Are You Ready sounds like garbage. And the overall recording quality varies from track to track. I'm not sure anyone enjoys listening to crowds that are not clapping in time. The dubbed-in crowd cheers are unnecessarily loud.
Quand même plus cool que ce à quoi je m’attendais, ce qui n’était vraiment pas très haut
yeah they’re alright
It’s alright
Not rly my cup of tea, didnt rly like the 70s,80s but i do enjoy the enrrgy they give on their performance live. Definitely better than musicians nowadays
Buenos solos de guitarra, buenos tracks.
banging
Fine.
This was a pretty decent live album. The band sounded good, had plenty of energy, and ran through most of their standards, which is really all you can ask for from a live record. The performances were solid and captured the band well in a live setting. Nothing felt sloppy, and the crowd energy came through nicely. My only real disappointment was that they didn’t play Whiskey in the Jar.
Don't get me wrong, Thin Lizzy rips. But, to make a "live" recording compiled from various live performances and then overdub it in production making essentially a greatest hits album, shouldn't get a spot on this list.
A brilliant show of musicianship. I think many of their songs leave much to be desired, however the transition from Cowboy Song to The Boys Are Back In Town is absolutely spot on.
Excellent love sound.
Several fun tracks but only good in small doses.
