Live And Dangerous

Really solid live album. Lots of guitar shredding. I also enjoyed the presence of the live performances. It is weird that it is a compilation instead of one concert but whatever.

I think I've heard that Lizzy was Irish, but didn't realize he was THIS Irish. You can really hear the accent during the crowd work. Live albums are hit and miss for me, but I dig this one. The songs sound clean and almost studio quality from a technical perspective. Then the crowd doesn't really come into play until the appropriate times. Well now that I went to look and see where it was recorded to see if maybe it was European which would explain the crowds politeness, I see that it was a collection of recordings from several places, and them there is a conversation and borderline controversy about potential overdubs of some tracks and that would explain the quality I was praising beforehand. Shame. That really took my motivation for listening to this down quite a bit. Favorite track "Jailbreak" 3/5

Never been a huge TL fan and this isn't going to change things up a lot. They do have some bangers though and for a live album, this is one of the better ones.

Too long but otherwise a good live album. They clearly had a good stage presence. 3.25/5

Live and Dangerous - Thin Lizzy. 3/5 The band sound great and play with tons of energy. A live album is always an odd one to review though. Do you give them credit for the quality of songs - even though that credit properly belongs to the studio recording? And regardless of how well they play (and Thin Lizzy really do play well) - you are listening to more than an hour of exactly the same mix of the same instruments. That calls for some endurance regardless of how much you love the band. I will say that I wasn’t bored though, 76 mins went in just fine.

first time hearing this band and frontman phil lynott. the live production is really good, especially on the 2022 remastered version. the band played exceptionally well. i enjoyed reading the lyrics and how stories are told in the songs (i liked "emerald"). however, a lot of the songs also felt repetitive to me; there aren't too many variations in the band's sound (at least in this live record). that's to say that the band's songs have a tendency to sound a bit generic. for this reason the middle part of this record felt a bit tedious to get through. of course, there are some really good moments during the first half and last half. sadly, not much left an impression on me.

It's good, but nothing that takes my breath away.

-i rolled my eyes when i saw this one… oh brother a live hard rock double album, can’t wait… but i ended up kinda fucking with it -I’m not familiar with the lead singer but he has a really good voice. though it’s not my favorite genre, i can’t help but love the hype and trademark blues rock energy present in a lot of these songs -Favorites are Jailbreak, Rosalie / Cowgirl’s Song, and Baby Drives Me Crazy

Not bad, but marks off for being a live album. I can never really seem to get the vibe for most live albums I hear. I might give some other releases from Thin Lizzy a chance in the future though Standouts Rosalie The Boys Are Back In Town 3/5

I liked it. Quite a few good songs.

Great

'any girls in the crowd want some irish in them?'

It was OK, not sure it belongs here.

Heard this one before. A few good tunes in there. Sound like they are on top form at this gig.

A very good album, though ultimately being live detracts from it too much for us.

Ok

3/5

Spotify only had 4 of the tracks off this album available, but "but the boys are back in town" and "Still in love with you" classics. Can't give it more than 3 with most of the album missing though.

The day that I actually got this I went out to see some people got drunk and it was my first time stoned but this album just like the morning after was tiring, lazy and had a strange smell to it. But surprisingly still not as bad as expected 3/5

I'm generally not a huge fan of live albums, this one is pretty solid, though! Honestly, it's just kind of generic rock for the time. The hits are really good and deserving of being notable, but none of the other songs really stand out in any interesting way. If you love music from this era you'll love Thin Lizzy, but there's not enough on this album to consider it a greatest of all-time situation. That said, very few bands will ever have hits as iconic as "The Boys Are Back in Town". Favorite Song(s): Still in Love with You, The Boys are Back in Town

freakin awesome i think my friend emerson would like this a lot

That’s pretty rad. Great riffs and hooks and energy. Quintessential hard rock. Best song: Cowboy Song

Part of what I like about a live album is the energy of the crowd obviously during the songs but between each song too. This doesn’t have that, there’s the pause between songs. When I looked it up, I saw the overdubbing stuff but also saw that this is because it was complied from 3 different shows. The biggest takeaway for me was Still in Love with You. So good.

I should probably like these guys more, but for whatever reason Thin Lizzy is still just sort of ok for me. Live albums can be hit or miss as far as production goes, but the sound quality was excellent here. Really enjoyed the guitar riffs on Suicide and Sha La La, and the surprise Huey Lewis harmonica on Baby Drives Me Crazy was great.

A lot of good rock here...that 8-minute "Still In Love With You" might be my favorite. "Cowboy Song" into "The Boys Are Back in Town" was a fantastic transition. Drums at the end of "Sha La La" were a highlight for me. Fun fact if you didn't catch the introductions: "Baby Drives Me Crazy" has Huey Lewis on the harmonica. All of it sounds good....a little too good. Started skimming the Wikipedia page and it appears that A LOT of it was overdubbed in the studio. Sounds like there are conflicting reports on how much was live vs. studio-boosted, but I gotta give it 3 based off of that.

decent

A few nice songs

Enjoyable but not special

It was fine

Sounds like a good show. One of the few times where I'd probably enjoy live renditions more than studio versions.

usually i really like thin lizzy, and i also thought that this live album was extremely powerful. it’s so good and i love how some of the songs get dirtier than the og. i think my main problem was that the set list was a bit boring to me. everything seemed like the same pace/same sound/same energetic guitar riff. usually with thin lizzy i think they’re really good at mixing things up a bit, making more narrative music. this album just felt very rock themed??? idk, it wasn’t bad in any way, the song choices just bored me a bit

Not bad but not a relistening vibe

Solid. Enjoyed this one. The "little bit of irish" joke at the start was funny.

It didn't seem that dangerous! Thin Lizzy has some good songs but not much staying power for me - pretty cookie cutter 70s rock and roll. That being said this automatically gets at least a 3 for having The Boys are Back in Town.

I'm not their biggest fan but this was probably a fun show to be at. Not bad for a live album but why are live albums on this list.

objectively fun, objectively deserves praise. just plain old rock is not my favorite but this is enjoyable and I can feel how much more enjoyable it would be if it could be heard live.

Well this is having fun with itself. Kind of mindless, sounds easy to listen to, decent instrumentals. This is the other end of artistic rock where it's just wanting it to be a good time. Will never be a masterpiece but there are days for this and I get why it exists and it's as good an example of this style as anything. Makes sense to be on the list.

This is fun music, it's got a bounce. The production could be a little more dynamic. This is much longer than it needs to be. Some mediocre blues music.

Good sounding live album. Alright rock songs.

I like Thin Lizzy but am not crazy about live albums and this one doesn’t include Whiskey in the Jar so rounding down to 3.

It’s alright. Not familiar enough with the band to know of these are good versions of their songs. Not the most prolific band, kind of surprised they got a live album on this list. 3/5 Probably won’t listen again

Favorites: Jailbreak, Emerald, Massacre, Cowboy Song Thin Lizzy is a legendary band, and a lot of these songs are great. But I don’t think this is a great album. I understand this was pulled from a number of concerts, and overdubbed in parts. So a lot of it sounds fairly good but it doesn’t have a consistent mood or audience relationship. And some songs drag, especially since this is a double album. I think it's unfortunate that this was the one Thin Lizzy album they put on here.

Thin Lizzy is cool, and there's certainly some shredding here, but I can't really understand why this is on the list instead of a studio album. 3 stars, I guess?

I don’t think I knew any Thin Lizzy aside from the Boys Are Back in Town, but I enjoyed this more than I expected. Not sure why this specifically was on the list, but it was good. Also the Tower Theatre is in Upper Darby not Philly

Live und solider Rock. Gut aber bleibt etwas kantenlos.

The main highlight was the iconic “The Boys are Back in Town.” Unfortunately the rest of the album was rather lackluster and the audio quality poor. You could tell that the crowd was amped up, which is definitely worth something.

Me clocking in at the “Giving Live Rock Albums Three Stars” Factory.

I found this much more enjoyable than I expected and I am shocked 😳

liked songs: Emerald, Massacre, Cowboy Song into The Boys Are Back In Town, Baby Drives Me Crazy (for Huey Lewis) This was fun. Apparently, there is some controversy about how much of this album was overdubbed in the studio, but it was still a good time. 3

Achei ok

I was NOT in the mood for this album but it is really good. Very proto hard rock/metal with some incredible guitar playing and general a good time vibe. It was also interesting how many times I felt the 50s rock vibe throughout…. And who covers Seger in 78’? Pretty cool. Gonna round down…

Music to wear denim jackets, drink canned beers and giving the good ol' 🤘🤘to. Wasn't familiar with much more than the tracks played on the radio. Quite surprised by songs like "Emerald" and "Massacre" - I knew the band is sometimes mentioned as an early influence on metal to some degree (Metallica, etc.), but these song in particular sounds like the blueprint to Iron Maiden, much more so than I'd have thought.

I don't think live albums belong on this list so I listened to Jailbreak by Thin Lizzy instead. It was a decent classic rock album, elevated greatly by the megahit The Boys are Back in Town.

Thin Lizzy wasn’t part of my musical upbringing, so when I listened to “Live and Dangerous,” it felt like a fresh experience. Of course, I recognized “The Boys Are Back In Town,” but the rest of the album was new to me. I quickly picked up on the blues elements, which I found particularly enjoyable. While I can’t say I’ll go out of my way to explore more of their discography, this classic rock album was a fun listen.

As far as live albums go it's alright I guess.

These guys absolutely rocked. Awesome musicians, a solid live performance, and a great selection of tracks. But I don't think a live Thin Lizzy album should make it on a list of albums to listen to before you die. There's so many other live albums that could have been included instead of this one.

Too long. If it were shorter, it would be a 4.

Smooth, sultry, electric-guitar wailing 70s rock. Can't say I've listened to much Thin Lizzy in my life but this performance is really nice. The drums, guitars and vocals all harmonize so well together and it sounds really really nice. Finally, an Irish band that I can get along with.

This is peak dad rock

Live albums rarely do it for me. It’s so difficult to capture that gig vibe and this is no exception. That being said it is Thin Lizzy so it’s pretty good. They’re one of the bands I listen to and hear Chris singing along to in my head. Not a bad thing, just an observation.

3.

I think this is an important example of a fake live album that everyone needs to listen to--dubbed studio recordings, recordings taken from various concerts, etc. Personal enjoyment: 3/5 Relevance to this list: 5/5

Liked it! Tracklist was pretty stacked but also with many bangers. But since ive learned about the background of the album i cant truly rate it as a "Live" Album so it its something between a best of and live inspired album. 2.5/5.0

In the guitar-as-phallos genre so popular among the post war baby boom generation Thin Lizzy is probably one of the better proponents. At least I enjoy Phil Lynnot as a singer. Don’t care so much for the incessant guitar wankery but this live album packs some power. Highlight: Massacre

Not bad, but very much a creature of its time. Excellent drum work throughout.

For a live album this fell a little flat. Even the hit “The Boys are Back in Town” was rough.

Started alright, but as it went on it became a bit tiring Standout: Dancing in the moonlight (it's caught me in it's spotlight)

Meh

Really good to start with. Tails off a bit and live album....

3 mostly just alright but the cowboy song into boy are back was so good it gets an extra point

Bit cheeky putting a live album on this list. But a great live album. All the classics. They own the stage. I wouldn't have put this on this list but no disrespect to Thin Lizzy

Right, another live double album I think. I don't mind the overdubs personally but for the first half of the album, I was a bit bored. The turning point for me was the one song I knew 'The Boys Are Back in Town'. Ok, I have to admit that it's catchy. The album really picks up from here and was pretty good. Not sure I'd listen again but if given an opportunity to see this show live, it does seem like it would be a good time.

Probably better live than enduring any of their recorded albums

It’s decent enough, but I find it odd that this is the pick from Thin Lizzy on this list. Jailbreak is a classic album, that would have been my pick. Maybe they wanted to capture more of their career without having to include multiple albums?

I thought the album was by a female rock star named Lizzy. It was not. Still pretty good, but likely will not revisit

Phil Lynott was a legend

FYI The Spotify album only has 4 tracks. Amazon Music does have the entire album. I’ve heard the big singles (Jailbreak and boys Are Back in Town) before. They were decent enough songs. I prefer the live version of Jailbreak to the radio edit; it just has a heavier sound. Boys, on the other hand, is better in the radio edit. The backup vocals in the live version are not good. Still in Love with You is gorgeous and the guitar solo really makes this track stand out. It is a beautiful ballad about lost love. The rest of the tracks were enjoyable and great classic rock. There are really talented musicians here and it shows in the riffs and solos. The only place where being alive album really hurt it was the end of Baby Drives Me Crazy. Overall decent album, I give it a 3.

I'm a little shocked this album is on this list. Live albums with lots of overdubs are cheating in my book. And the whole thing isn't available on Spotify, so that's strike 2. The musicianship on this album is incredible, overdubs or not. Really great playing all around but particularly drums. Brian Downey was incredible and underrated as a drummer. But here's the thing - as great as the playing is, I still just don't really like Thin Lizzy. I don't know what it is. I hate The Boys Are Back In Town, always have, but other than that I don't have any strong feelings about any of their music one way or the other. I'm not wowed by it, but I'm not put off by it. If Thin Lizzy ever comes up randomly, I'll probably turn it off to find something better. It's beige. For this album, 3/5 I guess?

It's not truly live so I'll knock it down a point but it's still fun, though somewhat basic, rock. 3/5

5.5/10

S'okay.

Most of the tracks weren't available on YT music for me to listen to. 😩

Love Thin Lizzy. Great live album.

For "the best live album of all time" this was just fine. For most songs, I just don't feel much difference between the studio version and this version. The crowd doesn't add a ton to the music until the last few songs. I just don't really resonate with this era of rock. Best Songs: Jailbreak, Still in Love with You Worst Songs: Johnny the Fox...,

Fun to listen to for the boomer rock throw backs, but I couldnt find much of it worth the hype of being on this list. Compared to Frampton comes alive, this album doesnt even come close, in my opinion. My favorite non obvious cut was Suicide. Didnt know Huey Lewis and Bob segar bith featured on this. Its also such a 70s/80s thing to do a live album and then go put overdubs on it 😂 the dead did this too

Two stars just for THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN. 1 star for the rest. This sounds like it was a fun concert to be at, but the music doesn't rock my socks off for the most part (weird that the Spotify version they link here is only 4 songs when the full version is way longer. Feels like they didn't get a fair shake on this). Execution is super sharp (guitar and drums are so tight it's awesome to behold) but the songwriting isn't my favorite from this era. And the vocals on THE BOYS is a little disappointing – lead vocalist is flat on a lot of the fun high notes. Can't give em less than 3 for a classic though.

Great music, great performances you could really feel the energy of the shows. Not really a fan of live recordings but this was good.

This dragged for me by the end.

I want to give this a try as a non live album. Pretty catchy classic rock. I wouldn't skip it on the radio.

Nothing wrong with this. Good renditions of the songs and Phil Lynott has a great singing voice. Did it need to be made though? I struggle to understand the purpose of live albums, should one treat it like a greatest hits compilation? Or are they of interest because the artist does something new vs. the recordings, like new elements in the arrangement? Like Nirvana Unplugged, which is great. If it's the latter, I don't know Thin Lizzy well enough to tell whether this added anything. Wiki says it was made because the producer didn't have time for a studio album, so I'm not sure why this is that important. Like I say it's not bad but not worth more than 3

Całkiem fajne. Nie jestem fanem lajwów. 3/5

3 stars. a good live album it seems but not my thing.

Safe and inoffensive dad rock. The album being live doesn't really add anything to the overall feel or energy. I know parts of it were overdubbed and I wonder how much of that affected the feel (by making it feel less live...). The double album aspect also makes it feel too long, I would have appreciated it more I think if it were a tight 45 minutes instead of 75 (though I think the Spotify version has a coupleof extra tracks if the Wiki is right). I haven't really listened to Thin Lizzy before this and I probably won't listen to them much after this either. I feel like you could replace them with pretty much any 70s rock band and it would sound the exact same. The instrumentals are skillfully executed though, and there was nothing on it that made me actively dislike them.

Fun rock concert album but all the songs kind of sound the same.

Well, let’s rock! I began thinking that a trip to a TL gig would be a complete rock-out, but after a while I came to thinking it would be more of a nod along and a foot tapper, given that all the songs sound fairly similar. The crowd seem to be into it though, and there’s no doubt they do rock. You probably had to be there.

A live version of their greatest hits is kind of cheating isn’t it? They should have just put Jailbreak on the list. Also I like the comic book art on that one. And I like it when bands are really blatant about the fact that it is 13-18 year old boys who buy their records and so that is clearly who they are catering to. It’s always crazy to me that people describe Thin Lizzy as hard rock. I know the band isn’t hard rock because I kind of like them. Plus I have ears. Thin Lizzy is like Boston if Boston was 10% less poppy. Thin Lizzy is pretty good but has never been one of my favorites. Hearing this live album did not change that.

I’m generally indifferent to live albums. To truly enjoy one, you need to be a big fan of the artist, or at least recognize a good number of tracks. Even with concerts I’ve attended, I often find that these recordings fail to capture the electricity of the live setting or those unexpected moments that make a performance memorable. I’ll admit that I’m not a huge Thin Lizzy connoisseur, so I already fail my own test for enjoying this kind of album. However, I did see the band in Hammersmith several years ago—though, bizarrely, none of the original members were part of the lineup. What stood out most from that show was how the big hits translated effortlessly across decades, with both old-school fans and relative newcomers (like me) screaming along at the top of our lungs. Some of the deeper cuts were harder to connect with, especially without the context longtime fans bring. The same applies to Live and Dangerous. When the highs hit, they really hit—tracks like The Boys Are Back in Town and Jailbreak still pack a serious punch. But other parts of the album passed me by, lacking the same impact. Still, when those highs come along, the rush is undeniable. The ongoing debate, fueled by producer Tony Visconti, over whether the album consists of 75% overdubs or "just" 25% adds some intrigue, but at least guarantees the mixes are consistently strong. I suspect Live and Dangerous is included in 1001 Albums to Hear Before You Die more for its historical importance than for the recording itself. And if I’m being honest, I don’t see myself sitting down and thinking, “Ah, let me put on that live Thin Lizzy record.” Yet, I’m glad to have been exposed to it and appreciate its place in rock history, offering a new perspective on a legendary band.

3/5

Thin Lizzy is one of those bands that was better live than in the studio. There is a lot of energy in their performance and their music translates really well into a live performance. I know that a lot people talk about the overdubs, but every live album is cleaned up as much as possible regardless of the band: that's a fact. How you feel about a live album depends largely about how you feel about the band in general. I'm a 2-star Lizzy fan, but I give an extra for the energy that I've seen these guys put into a concert: something that doesn't fully come through on an audio recording.

je respecte les Irlandais

This album is so long. Also as a live album it isn't the best quality either. It's fine I guess. Less hair-metally than I thought it was going to be but still not exactly my cup of tea. 5.5/10 (2.75/5)

3.5

Never really listened to Thin Lizzy before but knew a couple of their popular ones. Good live album, some clear highlights for me as parts of it were quite similar. Not entirely sure why a live album was chosen over a studio one. Fav tracks: Dancing in the Moonlight, Jailbreak, The Boys are Back in Town

The boys are most certainly back in town.

Not sure why this particular compilation is on here, considering it is just an assembly of various live performances that show Thin Lizzy as he fun sweaty rockers then same as any of their full length proper.

Massacre is pretty cool song, the rest is alright. Not a fan of the slower ballads but prob a 3 here. I've just never really liked their sound much, and can't stand some of the radio hits; boys are back, etc. I think mainly it's the vocalist.

Not a huge Thin Lizzy fan. Best thing about TL is their harmony guitar parts. Can't stand Jailbreak and I have to be in just the right mood for "The Boys Are Back In Town". Assuming this is actually live and not a mix of live and studio overdubs like Kiss Alive, they were quite solid live. If I was more into TL, I'd probably love this album. As it is, it's just an average album for me.

I never was a huge Thin Lizzy fan, because the songs don't have anything special from other rock music from that era, but I never hated the either. Anyway, this is a live record that sounds better than the studio recordings, and I actually enjoyed it. I was not expectng this.

Thin Lizzy is great! I've never dove into much beyond the basics though. I like this and it's fun to listen to but, for me, it kinda just goes on and on. I'd put it on again if I wanted to listen to some rock jams as kind of a background thing.

3.5

I get why people like this and it certainly wasn’t bad but I couldn’t see myself wanting to hear this again. 2.5/5

Got some good stuff going on. Not for me tho

I mean the songs are great but not sure what was special about this particular performance to warrant it on this list

I balked a bit at the length of this and the fact that it’s live, but honestly as only a semi-fan of Thin Lizzy, this feels like the way to hear them. This feels like it really captures the sound of the band, who must have been killer live.

This was OK. I didn’t like the vocalist much, but the band was pretty good. This was long, harmless, and fine.

Decent live

A live album over an hour long is a bold choice. I've never listened to Thin Lizzy before. It was alright. I don't think I could name any songs, but it was enjoyable.

Always nice to hear every once in a while

It's okay but nothing extra

Not horrible considering I’m not a huge fan of live records usually and don’t much of Thin Lizzy’s music. The energy kept things interesting.

It's certainly live. Not sure about dangerous. Maybe I'd really appreciate this if I was more familiar with Thin Lizzy's music. They're capable performers and this certainly wasn't bad, but I'm not especially taken with it. But I did find myself engaged more often than not. Highlights: Emerald, Still In Love With You, Cowboy Song, The Boys Are Back in Town

I'm honestly never sure how to rate or review a live album. They're never really on my list when I want to listen to an artist's discography. This is a fine album? The musicianship is pretty damn tight, the performances definitely feel energetic, and the tracklist flows really nicely. I suppose your opinion on this LP will simply depend on how big of a Thin Lizzy fan you are; and I wouldn't class myself as a big fan. So if you're a big fan, this would probably be an easy 5. If not, it will teeter around the 3-4 mark. For me, it's a 3. If parts of this album came on while I was driving, I wouldn't complain. But I wouldn't be turning the volume up in excitement, y'know? I appreciate Thin Lizzy to at least some degree, they were just never really up my alley. However, if you were looking for a good introduction to the band this would actually be a good starting point.

Saw them at my school for a special assembly They had a couple of decent songs

The inherent problem with live albums is that they can never recapture the experience of being at a live gig. A two-minute drum solo is spellbinding when you're in the audience, pumped up and surrounded by other fans - the atmosphere carries it. Without that context, it becomes interminable, dull. Live albums provide nostalgia to people who were actually in the audience and want to relive the experience. Sure, the band know what they're doing and the musicality and performances are good. There were some cool tracks on this - 'Dancing in the moonlight', 'Massacre' and 'The boys are back in town', for example. For me, though, live music and recorded music should be kept separate, at least in rock.

Rock. Pretty good, but I’m not really a fan of live albums. I would’ve much rather heard the studio versions.

Okay so this one was sound. We know I love rock, we know I love live playlists and we know I love guitar. Well? I liked this album. Very good.

Album 493 of 1001 Thin Lizzy - Live And Dangerous Rating : 3.75 / 5 Not typically a big fan of live albums. Enjoyed this more than I expected. Always liked their studio stuff.

Old, hard rock. It's decent to me.

Really solid rock music. So much better than the KISS three chord glam rock of the era. There is nothing really groundbreaking here, and I'm not sure I need to listen to much more Thin Lizzy, but I enjoyed it.

Of course the jailbreak is gonna be at the jail

70s style hard rock. I knew of Thin Lizzy but, knowing Gary Moore's later work, I expected .... more. This is not bad by any stretch, but too long for the fact that there is not that much variation between the songs. 3/5

Felt exhausted just seeing a 1hr 16 min live album by Thin Lizzy going into this... but it wasn't that bad actually. I think I mixed it up with Alice Cooper. Anyways, had some decent songs, but nothing that really grabbed me, and won't be remembered either. Weak 3.

I really like Thin Lizzy, they just embody fun and sometimes political rock. This live album was a bit of a dud however. The mixing wasn't really there and you could never really feel the energy of the crowd or the live performance. I would've rather listened to one of their study albums.

A good live performance by a decent band. Unfortunately, like most other live rock albums, has one too many jam sessions that immediately makes me lose interest

Decent album.

good live little repetitive

I'm not a big fan of live albums. But aside from the vocals this one is pretty well recorded. And it is also just a fantastic guitar album, so not the end of the world about the vocals.

Great live band. Loved a few songs I remember as a kid.

Rock, live, 1978 -> 3

I don’t have any problem with Thin Lizzy. And jailbreak is a great album. But I don’t know that we need a live album too

emerald southbound the boys are back in town don't believe a word baby drives me crazy

Very listenable and atmospheric, didn’t realise they sang some of those.

I'm giving this a three because the songs are great and Thin Lizzy rocks. But this is not an album. In any universe. It's barely even an EP. 3

Not for me at 100

I enjoyed this while I wrote to and from work today. But it's not something that I'm going to suddenly decide to put on sometime in the future

Good live album

Solid, but no bangers.

THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN More fun than I expected in a few places, but too long and too much filler.

64/100

It's very interesting hearing the vast influences that earlier bands had on Thin Lizzy and how thoroughly their lead guitarist as well as the pacing of their sound derives from those influences. I can hear a ton of Jimi Hendrix as well as the David Gilmour days of Pink Floyd.

It’s okay. I prefer thin Lizzys studio albums.

Only four songs of this album were available on Spotify- bit hard to give an honest rating. 3/5

Some decent songs but live albums shouldn’t be on the list. Just put the greatest hits on there

Some of the songs on this are really great, fast, hard, really great listens. And then there’s songs like Johnny the Fox Meets Jimmy the Weed that are so lame and boring. Still better than I thought, I was let down when I listened to some of their studio albums.

Not bad, if unremarkable. The guitars were good but overshadowed by the vocals. I’m not sure why this made the cut.

The Spotify version of this is only 4 songs. That seems like an appropriate amount.

Loved the rockers in this group

Interestingly, I actually expected to like this more than I did. It’s good but started a little slow for me, overall though it’s a good album.

Huh, better than I expected, but not what I expected either? Makes me want to hear more Thin Lizzy. But also wondering if they're a better live band and the studio stuff doesn't hold up as well. Terrible review, totally average. Sorry this one needs way more time in my ears.

Schlock rock. Decent

Noh tämä on Thin Lizzy ja livenä eli meno on hyvä. Biisit jopa tanssittavia. Hittimateriaalia tosin kuulostaa olevan yllättävän vähän, vaikka tässä varmaan olisi tarkoitus olla ”greatest” biisit? Mutta useampi bängerihkö, ml. ärsyttävä Boys are back in town. En rakastu.

Pieni (mutta pitkäkestoinen) ihme: yli tunnin live-LP, joka alkaa ehkä hienoisesti kyllästyttää vasta aivan lopussa. Tällä bändillä on toimivia biisejäkin, vaikka toki tulen jatkossa etsimään niitä studiolevyiltä. Soundillisesti soitto on asiantuntevan, pehmeän keinahtelevaa - viihdyttää kyllä. 3+

Live albums are typically not my thing. Boys are Back in town mixed with strong guitar flow made this more enjoyable than expected.

Good, ol' fashioned rock 'n roll; clean, energic vocals over driving guitars. It avoids the pitfalls of cock rock bands like KISS but it is still "light" hard rock with attitude. Though this list doesn't allow 'best of' compilations, a live album containing the best of an artist's work is fair game, and I'm fine with that. The band is tight, playing well with each and filling space without walking all over each other; they have mastered their instruments and perform both technically and musically together. Clean doubled guitar lines too. Self-assured and singing with personality, Phil Lynott commands the stage and keeps the listener's ear. He casts a spell on the audience and you buy all in immediately. Surprised I like this so much; it's not my normal cup of tea, but they have my attention. Phil does his best Hendrix vocally on "Warrior." Smart to jump into their biggest hit "The Boys Are Back In Town" as a segue from the previous song; it keeps the audience on their toes. These guys sound like they put on a great and energetic live show, and we even get a drum solo on "Baby Drives Me Crazy"!

I have a soft spot for people with roots in the Caribbean who go on to do big things on an international scale. Phil Lynott is one of those people, as he is half Guyanese. I am not the biggest Thin Lizzy fan, but their music always brings a smile to my face and this one did also.

The solos rip. I'd love to listen to this the next time the boys are back in town.

I probably wouldn't choose to listen to this album of my own accord, but I did enjoy my time with it today. It's the kind of thing I could see playing in the background in the garage on a Saturday night with the boys. Would go well with lite beer, hockey and darts.

Correcto

Wish it was longer, but a good live album. 3/5

Would rate it 3.8 but Lower than a 4.

Only managed to give this one a single listen, not intentional, just short on time today. Like any 70s hard rock band, I'm not giving this higher than a three because it's just not my thing really. That said, this is a strong 3. Yes, it has your standard long guitar and drum solos and over the top energy. This album also has insanely good groovy and bluesy bass lines, odd drum patterns, and a dynamic set list. The slower songs really help punctuate the high energy stuff, and generally I felt like the album as a whole flowed really well. It goes without saying that Phil Lynott has a great energy for this stuff; he surprised me with some of the personal depth on the lyrics sometimes. And yes, the solos are exhausting sometimes, but the guitarists generally did really well at keeping the solos solid throughout. All in all, a great album I don't see myself going to too often, but if hard rock and solos are your thing, I think you'll love this.

For extended periods of time, this doesn't sound or feel like a live album. Standouts for me where massacre and baby drives me crazy. I enjoyed it but it won't stick on my mind.

Not live and not all that dangerous either.

I've never been a Thìn Lizzy fan, but I obviously knew of them, and a few of their songs. This is alright, and really clean for a live album (it makes me wonder how much was overdubbed in the studio), and it's good to hear the bass so high in the mix but I guess that's not surprising. Not bad, not great, but that album cover is a sight to behold - Mr Lynott could have knocked my hat off!

Not my favourite band but this is a good live album. Nicely recorded and full of energy, the band are tight and driving, Phil's voice is expressive and strong. Oh apparently it's overdubbed. Well that explains that then. 'Massacre' is a corker and obviously so influential on twin guitar rock bands like Iron Maiden. I'm not converted though.

Thin Lizzy wasn’t part of my musical upbringing, so when I listened to “Live and Dangerous,” it felt like a fresh experience. Of course, I recognized “The Boys Are Back In Town,” but the rest of the album was new to me. I quickly picked up on the blues elements, which I found particularly enjoyable. While I can’t say I’ll go out of my way to explore more of their discography, this classic rock album was a fun listen.

Lots of cool songs but I’m not a fan of the format! I didn’t find it as perfect of a Thin Lizzy listening experience as one could get, maybe just not a fan of the recording style. Favourite track: The Boys Are Back In Town

Live albums aren’t something I listen to often. I prefer studio albums - if I want to watch a live show I’ll go to one! Or watch old shows on YouTube so you can actually see it. What’s more, this isn’t even a true live album - it’s snippets from several live shows with studio recordings and crowd noise overdubbed. It’s neither a live album nor a studio album. So what’s the point? 3 stars because the songs are solid but the format means I probably won’t come back to this, and a double album at 1h 16mins is too long.

Fun tunes for a ride. Riffs moving towards metal, then back to funk. The recording itself is patchy. I couldn't help but wish I was listening to Hendrix instead.

Too many overdubs for me to really enjoy it. It is an epic band though!

Some songs were pretty good and I enjoyed them quite a bit but this is just too long

Conheço algumas musicas mas nunca ouvi inteiro. Fiquei animado para ouvir. Voz única. Instrumentação que eu gosto muito, com piano e baixo bem altos no mix. Muito swing e ritmado. Sonoridade me agrada demais. A voz é exagerada, intensidade máxima o tempo todo, seria bom se tivesse alguma variação de intensidade

Not my favorite

Some good tunes but a tad too long

Decent enough album. Not the greatest live album I’ve ever heard.

Expected another run-of-the-mill Hard Rock album. Got a live album that admittedly features above standard Hard Rock, but also overstays its welcome and lacks the energy I expect from a live recording. 3.5/5.

3.5

An enjoyable one - knowing who the heck the band are makes all the difference sometimes! Not always a fan of a live album but this one was one of the better ones I’ve listened to. Tapped my foot and nodded my head the whole way through

Really good live album. I enjoyed very much. Lizzy are not a band I have listened too much album wise but this was enjoyable and had all the mainstream hits. Favourite song: Jail break and the boys are back in town. Least favourite: All good Album artwork: cool

Immediately improved my mood today

Better than I expected. I haven't explored this band in any detail before, just know the hits.

Cowboy song into boys are back in town was definitely the highlight. It’s the kind of easy listening rock that my dad would like but sounds pretty boring to me. Rating: 2.9

It's a real rare double album that makes it seem worth it. This doesn't quite make the cut.

Nothing wrong with it, some good performances. Thin Lizzy were never my thing.

Pretty good, I like thin lizzy but I've never listened to a full album by them. This was pretty enjoyable if not a little long

When i read that they pieced this live album together from multiple performances, i was a little disappointed. 3.3 stars

Classic lizzy stuff

Props to a good performance that probably took a lot of energy to perform. I just honestly am not as much a fan of love albums of even my favorite bands, let alone one I am not as familiar with.

Pretty good. Not something I'd normally listen to but some good rock tracks and a good vibe to it

Although not one of the greatest live albums ever! This is powerful and shows the band's energy.

Spotify was missing most of the tracks, but of the ones I listened to - really solid. I like his vocals, the guitar solos (especially the harmonies) were really beautiful. Nice driving pace, super tight. Probably helped by the fact that it was partially recorded in a studio. Sure, it's cheating. Sure, it's kind of long. But that's a pretty sick live album.

Not a huge fan of live albums

I'm not a big fan of live albums being on lists like this, however I'm glad I listened to this. I was dreading it but I ended up enjoying it quite a lot. High energy rock show. Fav songs: - Jailbreak - Still in Love with you - Cowboy Song - The boys are back in town

‘78 Marin County Fair sound. Boys are Back in Town.

This is the epitome of white boy rock. It's not bad, and for the record, I'm a "white boy", but it's not great. 3 stars

Great guitar interplay, no song outlives it's welcome. A LOT of early Iron Maiden in this, Dave Murray especially clearly influenced.

Forgettable live album.

3.5 I’ve never claimed to be much of a Thin Lizzy fan, but this album definitely made me more of one! I really thought all these guys had was Jailbreak and The Boys are Back in Town, but there was no shortage of great songs to be found here, with Emerald, Rosalie, Are You Ready, and my personal favorite, Southbound, all being highlights. I didn’t care as much for some of the later slower stuff like Dancing in the Moonlight and Still in Love With You, but I will say, as a whole, I really do think the songs are greatly enhanced by the band’s live performance - in most cases, I found them better than their studio versions. While I wouldn’t go as far as to call this one of the best live albums I’ve ever heard, it does have a great energy to it that makes me think these guys would have been a blast to see. Granted, there was apparently a lot of studio overdubbing work done on this, but that kind of thing happens with most live albums, so I don’t really fault them for that here, and I honestly, I think they did it more seamlessly than some other live albums I’ve heard (love The Mark, Tom, & Travis Show, but yeah…) I don’t think this is any kind of all-time great, but I do think this a fun live album and definitely has a place in a classic rock record collection.

It has a great sound. Not totally raw as they ,for example, edited some phasing to the drums solo at the end of ‘Sha-La-La’. The solo came out of nowhere and I really enjoyed it. ‘Still in Love With You’ hooked me in. What stands out are the two lead guitars harmonizing. But to be honest I don’t always like the sound of it. At first I also liked ‘Dancing In The Moonlight’ but it’s feels a bit generic towards the end of the song. I’m happy that I got to know the band but will probably not listen to the full album again. One takeaway for me is that a phaser sounds really good on cymbals.

9 hours. 9. Hours. No Nathanial, Oh no Nathanial, there must be more to life than listening to 9 consecutive hours of Thin Lizzy. Obviously I didn’t listen to it all, and to be fair, what I did listen to I enjoyed.

This was fun. If I had to listen to old rock I'd pick this over the sabbaths and deep purple and stuff. I moved to Ireland nearly a decade ago and Phil Lynott is a god here and I can see why. He is the Irish Hendrix. Plus the rhythm section slaps as well. The live album seems to do a good job of capturing their energy. My only complaint is that it didn't offer much variety and I found over an hour if this way too much. But if you are a fan then I'm sure you'd stuck this straight in your veins.

Kept thinking "this band sounds just like another band from that era". At first I was thinking of Tom Petty "don't do me like that", but turns out I was actually thinking of the songs JailBreak and The Boys are Back In town and didn't realize who sung them. So there... Thin Lizzy sounds just like the band Thin Lizzy. #HotTake

Fun

Honestly a lot of the songs were unmemorable. However, the guitar on this album was so incredible that I'm going to give it some bonus points. Even more impressive that this was recorded live. 3.5/5

70’s rock at its pinnacle.

It's fine, although nothing groundbreaking. Definitely too long. And weird that it's live but also not. Not bad enough for a 2 though.

boys are back in town

Thought i’d like it more than I did. “Boys” isnangreatbtunenofncourse

decent but drags on and doesn't stand out much, don't really see the point of including this on the list

Great guitar solos

I'd still rather have studio versions, but Phil Lynott is charming AF and they have the tunes.

good

Famous live album representing the essence out of two different live tours.

Fun live album Standout songs: Suicide Johnny the Fox Meets Jimmy the Weed Rosalie

Mid except for boys are back in town

Mmm Fav songs: southbond ×)

Is this one song or four? Live versions of all the best from this one hit wonder. Must say, I love their sound.

Liked it better than I expected, but then again didn't expect much. Good energy, but not a lot of variety to the music.

I was dreading my Monday morning rainy commute until I pulled up this power punch. I have always liked the hits and a few deeper tracks. I love the low rumble of the back line and the dueling guitar sound. I have a few new takeaways from this one, Massacre and Dancing in the moonlight. Loved the live versions of Cowboy Song/ Boys are Back. I will say I prefer the studio version of “Emerald”, one of the best guitar solos of all time IMO. Overall a great listen pretty much all the way through. 3.5/5

Outside of the hits I had never really listened to Thin Lizzy. On the controversial topic of whether this was truly a live recording, I would probably side with the producer. Unnatural crowd fades as well as moments of no noise at all during songs with space kinda support the fact those parts were studio overdubs. But it was still an enjoyable listen. And the twin guitar’ing really defines the band. More like…Somewhat live and somewhat dangerous but still rockin’.

This was definitely at times pretty fun, several tracks that rocked and were worth listening to, especially for a band that I had always thought (probably erroneously) was basically a one hit wonder. But not sure I needed this, and something tells me if I had a visual to pair with this audio I would have liked it less. The Spotify link initially took me to a four track version, inclusive of The Boys Are Back in Town… felt like that would have been sufficient for me.

Still on the fence if live albums should be allowed. The Irish joke was a bit of an eye roller but enjoyable rock album. RIP

I’m typically not a fan of live albums (says the guy who gave 5* to Nirvana Unplugged). Sure the hits are there, but I prefer the studio recordings. This one was pretty enjoyable and sounded good. I guess there’s some controversy surrounding the band overdubbing most of the album. Anyways, who cares? It’s an above average listen and I really enjoyed Massacre. 3.5/5

Seemed designed for the more hardcore fans. It was ok but i don't think I'd listen again.

I didn't like the start of this album. Not sure why this was considered a good enough live album to be included. There was a stretch of songs from Cowboy Song to Don't Believe a Word that were very strong, but I don't think it was enough for me to really want to put this album on again. I may check out other Thin Lizzy album releases out of curiosity, so that's not a bad thing.

I'm liking this. It's a solid live recording, and while I'm not a huge fan of this era of rock, I've grown to appreciate it so much more as the years have gone by. It's a tight band (with tight pants) and the live translation of their songs was great and the recording on the record is amazing. The drum solo panning and flanging on Sha-la-la!! I really enjoyed this one. 4/5 --- Rating meanings: since all of these records are master works and well regarded, my scale is going to adapt to how well I connected with a record. 1 being the least amount of connection and 5 being the most amount of connection.

*Live performance* Knew a good amount of these songs, but never knew what the band was. This is another one that sounds like my childhood. Fave: The Boys Are Back in Town 3.5

Pretty good but overly long. Some great solos in this, I especially liked Still In Love With You. Nothing jumped out enough to go more than three stars though.

Pretty good for a genre I usually don't like at all

i knew of thin lizzy's big hits. didn't know they were irish until i went to irish rock n' roll history museum (must-do if you're a music lover in dublin). and this live album was good. something i would put on in the background while cleaning my house.

Solid live-rock-album with the all their hits. I generally question the significanse of that kind of a live-album for this list. 2,5

Yeaaaah c'était fun mais j'écouterais plus les versions albums.

This one was better than I expected. Nice to pick an Irish band for St. Patrick's Day. I doubt I'll pick this one up much but it was a decent listen. Honestly though, I only made it 3/4 through this album. I'm sure I would have been a huge Thin Lizzy fan if I was in my teens or twenties in the 19070s.

While Thin Lizzy is an excellent hard rock band and one of their studio releases certainly belongs on this list, but I'm not sure another live double album does, particularly when it was created by cherry picking from so many dates and with so many overdubs. Having said that I did enjoy the live segue from the last chord from "Cowboy Song" becoming the first chord from "The Boys Are Back In Town". This album demonstrated that Thin Lizzy wrote and performed solid songs. I cannot help but wonder if Prince early in his career borrowed a ton of Phil Lynott's wardrobe look from this era. It would seem so.

These are their hits, so its nice, but why is this live album what one should listen to, it didnt stick out to me in any way.

Solid live performance.

Started off strong, captured the feeling of a live show quite well. Overstayed its welcome.

Not bad. Enjoyable guitar

Album Nr. 62 Nicht schlecht. Aber vom Hocker reißt mich das Album aber auch nicht.

"The Boys Are Back in Town", certified banger. What I didn't know is that the lead singer (Phil Lynott) is a black Irishman, the more you know. This album is a bit weird since it's a live double album. This is my first Thin Lizzy album on here, but the live album is basically just a compilation of their popular stuff at the time so it feels like it's kind of cheating to me. Allegedly there's also a dispute about how much of this is actually "live". I guess they were originally supposed to record an album this year but their producer was busy so they just decided to pull live recordings and slap a cover on that instead. The producer claims that 75% of the sound actually was overdubbed in the studio, but the manager says that's wrong and 75% of the sound is live and they only overdubbed some background vocals and things. If it's actually significantly dubbed, that makes it even a little more dicey for this list. Anyway, it's generally alright. It's definitely a hard rock album through and through, but there are enough solid songs. Obviously "The Boys Are Back in Town" is iconic, but "Jailbreak" is a great opener, "Dancing in the Moonlight" was really nice (I hadn't heard this one before), and "Cowboy Song" led into TBABIT nicely. The downside is that it's long (77 minutes) and there are a few stretches that feel like somewhat generic hard rock. They probably could have cut this thing after TBABIT and been just fine with it. Favorite song: The Boys Are Back in Town Other: Jailbreak, Dancing in the Moonlight, Still in Love with You, Cowboy Song 3/11/24

Thin Lizzy is another of those "good" basic bands that cover the entiire "core" of music, particularly within genre. In other words, Thin Lizzy is a hard rock, all in, put it out there 70's rock band. It doesn't take much research to realize that there were a LOT of bands like this, always has been, always will be. They are entertaining, "cool" and will have an overall generic appeal with a few hardcore fans. I suppose they also suffer from being around at a time when lots of amazing bands were around vying for air time. Nevertheless, they are solidly entertaining and good fun.

Wederom weer best oké voor oudewittemannenmuziek. Live optreden is opzich ook wel gezellig om naar te luisteren

Pretty good live album, however for some reason my spotify doesn't give me access to over half the songs. The ones I have access too were good though!

ten years ago, i would have loved this more. now it's okay, but not groundbreaking...

Pretty okay.

I quite liked this. Favourite song Still In Love With You

Live (but not really) And Dangrous(ly boring)

Fine guitar work

It's fine. I think it started out strong, then sort of got a bit boring in the middle. it picked up a bit at the end, but I was kind of over it at that point. It's not really my kind of music, so an hour and 20 minutes is a LONG time. A bit of a fun fact: Apparently Huey Lewis, who would later achieve fame as the guy with all the songs in the Back to the Future movie, was part of the backing band or something. He got a call out for playing harmonica. This is definitely not Huey Lewis and the News-style music. Anyway, 3 out of 5 seems about right.

Only listened to half. Kind of dig it

Thin Lizzy never really made my radar as far as bands to listen to, and I didn't hear much here to spark the kind of rabid fandom that I've seen around this band. It was fine for a '70s rocker.

Straight forward late 70s live rock. Nothing wrong with it, but not interesting to me. Includes big hit The Boys Are Back In Town.

kein Gedöns - ROCK

Clásico rock staple but not a huge fan

It's a four song live album, I'm not sure how this would be considered great but whatever. Typically live albums are never that great in the first place

Enjoyable albums. Simple & classic sound lacking some variety but they found their niche. Nothing really stood out for me too much they're good at what they do.

Some great moments here

Уже по обложке я понимал какой саунд меня ждёт. Мужчина с богатой шевелюрой. Открытая грудь. Обтягивающие кожаные штаны. Йеп, это рок семидесятых. Я ожидал, что вокалист будет более визгливым, но в принципе вокал адекватный. Гитара забористая и чёткая. А знаете, неплохо, в принципе неплохо. Три звезды.

Very generic 70s rock. Still fun to listen to though

Very interesting for a heavy rock album

It's aight. Pretty generic classic rock. Would rather just listen to their studio albums. Not even really a lot of band energy, or crowd energy. Energy ramps up closer to the end, nice drum solo on "Sha-La-La". If the whole album was like the last 3 tracks it'd be legendary!

Decent enough, but sometime it's a bit uninspired with really basic rock songs. I really do enjoy the lead singers voice though. I also think it starts off really strong and fall off big time around the 3/4 mark.. unfortunate, since if they just cut a few tracks it would've been a much better listen. 6/10

not on spotify

It’s okay, not a giant Thin Lizzy fan but the dual guitar lines are great. It’s good just not maybe the most subversive songwriting for me.

Could only listen to 4 songs. Would like to hear the rest.

There are only a few bands I can listen to an entire album and not get bored with it. Thin Lizzy is not one of those bands.

Only 4 of the songs would play. Very few reasons for a live album, but guitar solos are one of them. Still in Love with You has a pretty great solo.

Solid classic rock. Would sound good on a dive bar jukebox anywhere in the world.

7/10 i'm not the biggest fan of live albums purely because I feel as if yes, the performances are more lively but they don't really match up with my feelings towards the original recordings. this album was no exception. i also feel as if the songs performed weren't that interesting to me, like ok it's 70s rock? big whoop, do something cool with it. it sounds nice but it's just not that exciting.

Celtic rockabilly baby!

Didn’t grab me. Had high expectations from the wiki report. Not my taste I guess

Jail Break & Boys are Back in Town are bangers.

- The guitars are jammy but why does a live album need to be on this list again - Insanely fun to listen to tho - Great classic rock sound that's very guitar driven

- very good sound quality for a liv album - just some dudes rocking

Said before that I'm not keen on live albums. This was great though. I think more 'live' stuff should be produced like this was. Two weeks of studio improvements and polish. Helps that the band were seemingly at the top of their game.

Turn it up to 11 and enjoy!

Alright, but can't really pick any songs out of the mix

It’s a good album. It’s too hard for me at this time in my life but I appreciate it. My favorite song, which I absolutely love, is still in love with you.

Some good tracks. Don't love live albums.

Who knew the guy who wrote the boys are back in town had more than 1 song?

Live albums are shit, but this doesn't feel that live and shit just a bit of both. Too long, couldn't pay my full attention all the way through. Sick guitar harmonies, made me wanna pick up my guitar and play along with the juiciness.

This was fine. The crowd and the artists seemed to be enjoying themselves. As it started I expected an album of straight-up hair metal, a mode for which I wasn't in, but fortunately it balanced out with some bluesy, countryesque, even funky moments. None of the music was memorable for me—in one ear and out the other—but this was still a fun album!

They definitely closed the album on a high note. Fun drum solo on Sha-La-La. High energy, decent classic rock stuff in general. It didn't quite get to a 4 for me, but it was solid. 3.5.

In my opinion, Thin Lizzy had great hard rock and incredible live shows. I do not believe that this is the best live album of all time. Jailbreak is my favorite song of theirs. They are firing on all cylinders with this one! It is played and sounds different each time they play it from the original studio recording to every single live performance. Each one good, but different. I don't like that my favorite version is not the studio or the live one on this album though.

Catchy opener... Probably a 3/5 for me. Not bad but not blowing me away. A little corny in parts but some classic Hard Rock. Can't deny some of those riffs.

First of all, I hate a live record. Hate hate hate them. So we'll see how this goes. Ok, "Emerald" rips??????? And you can't really tell that it's live even so much? This album kind of lost momentum for me pretty quickly, to be honest. I will say I was prepared for the live aspect to be much worse and much more annoying than it actually was. The live aspect was fairly negligible. Thin Lizzy for me is just one of those bands that is INCREDIBLE when they are on, but more often than not it's just Fine and that's all. Looped back around to being a little dull for me at the end. "Baby Drives Me Crazy" is a whole long band introduction live album thing which is always boring as hell. However apparently Huey Lewis played harmonica on this live album only so that was a bizarre and interesting introduction to hear.

I can just imagine my pot smoking uncle being like "what? you've never heard live and dangerous by thin Lizzy? HOLD ON" Then slamming an 8track into the dashboard of his Buick lasabre. This album is really good but we are past it as a culture. Save it for the classic rock station. That being said I enjoyed having it on in the background.

eenrgetic, fun. not the best that i've heard, but probably due to not liking the songs that much

One of those albums that isn't hard work but isn't great either. I usually have a no live albums merit greatness award but I can understand why the odd one is put in - this was most definitely the best known Lizzy album when I was a kid.
