1001 Albums Summary

When I first saw this album for day 2 I thought it was one I’d never heard of, but the Thin Lizzy name rang familiar. I pull up Spotify and immediately recognize The Boys Are Back in Town and Whiskey in the Jar. I’m glad listening to this album made me more familiar with the Thin Lizzy band they’re really good. I was a little hesitant when I realized it was a Live performance album since I don’t usually like them. I mean who needs to hear “How are you doing San Diego!” When they’re just trying to listen to music. However, Live and Dangerous may have changed my opinion on this. I’ve heard few albums with this much energy and passion. The crowd cheering actually adds to the music rather than taking away from it. I added all but 6 songs to my playlist. I love their sound and it takes me back to my Billy Idol craze from a couple years ago. I think definitely continue listening to Thin Lizzy. My favorite from Live and Dangerous was Warrior because of that energy in the vocalist I was talking about. I could feel the adrenaline while he was performing. I also really liked Southbound because of the guitar and instrumental and sing-along abilities. My least favorite was probably Baby Drives Me Crazy because I didn’t really appreciate the harmonica (much like yesterday’s least favorite from All Things Must Pass). I don’t know what to say I really don’t like it’s tinny sound. The song also felt very long and drawn out because they included introducing the band, but I get it because it was the second to last song of the night.
