Thin Lizzy (Which came from a character called ‘Tin Lizzie’ in ‘The Dandy’ but with Phil’s thick Northern Irish accent, ‘Thin’ sounded the same, and I think it was he who came up with the final incarnation of the name) had in its members at varying times Phil Lynott, Gary Moore, Snowy White, Brian Downey, Eric Bell, Eric Wrixon, Scott Gorham, Darren Wharton, John Sykes, Brian Robertson and even during ‘79~’80 Midge Ure touring. Here we go through the music of their most brilliant tracks. If you love some hard rock, this is the show for you, whether you are a fan or new and come for the education.

Some greats in here, like the Moore + Lynott collaboration “Out in the Fields, “solo Phil with the likes of ‘Dear Miss Lonely Hearts’ and “King’s Call.” There are big Lizzy singles “Whiskey in the Jar,” “The Boys Are Back in Town,” “Killer on the Loose,” and “Dancing in the Moonlight.” Some fab fan favourites like “Warriors,” “Black Rose,” “Cold Sweat,” and “Jailbreak.” It’s all in here and more, over a bit more than two hours. This is Thin Lizzy and Philip Lynott at their very best!

Enjoy!
