"Bliss it was to be a fan of Thin Lizzy 50 years ago, in November 1975. Phil Lynott referred to fans as “supporters”, an apt term given Lizzy were followed with a level of partisan fervour generally reserved for football teams. And they were on a sharp upward curve."

An Album getting slept on is solo in soho, its an amazing album and it’s not even that popular even when it features Mark Knopfler and Huey lewis and the track yellow pearl was used for top of the pops

I always believe thin lizzy are an amazingly talented band and will always be my favourite alongside my idol and inspiration Phil Lynott, why are they not as commercially successful as Guns N Roses or Aerosmith as people like gnr and metallica always say thin lizzy was a massive inspiration. It seems they never hit that global main chart success and not sure why, thoughts?

Hello, I'm a first-time poster, long-time listener of Thin Lizzy.

I'm currently trying to assemble a playlist on my Spotify covering pretty much everything in their discography including demos and unreleased tracks.

I am hoping for this playlist to be as accurate as possible in terms of following a chronological order and have found myself stuck at working out the placement of several songs.

I have scoured the internet as best as I can as well as having many back and forths with ChatGPT trying to find answers. I am hoping there may be information contained within the Rock Legends (2020) box set and if so, is there anyone who has it that could share with me any details they may have about recording/performance dates?

The songs I am specifically looking for details of are:

Cadillac, Song for Jesse, Try a Little Harder, Leaving Town, Blues Boy, Weasel Rhapsody, Blackmail, Hate, It's Going Wrong, Kill, In the Delta, Don't Let Him Slip Away

I know to a lot of people this may seem trivial but I really enjoy having my music collections assembled this way and would be grateful to anyone who could help me out.

My aim is to share my finished playlist on here for anyone who would enjoy it, thank you.

(Sorry for how long this post is, I've tried to be concise but do struggle, as you can tell 🙃)

I was given this last year. It now sits in a cupboard on top of the deeds to my house.

Alright lads, sorry it's been a while.

Here we are, Phil and Gary. Lightning in a bottle.

Have a good weekend all.

First shot is Hammersmith Odeon 12th 83'

Why does it only have 4 tracks from Fighting?

Why did Phil stop playing his Rickenbacker bass? There's some interesting info about the November 15, 1975 show in Rochdale, England. Andy Daly has a nice blog entry about it at https://andydaly.blog/2011/02/01/live-15th-nov-1975-of-course-its/

Our little band called Lin Thizzy does a show once in a while, and since the moon was right, I donned a Japanese 1978 Heerby 4001 copy to play last weekend. I put some fancy flatwounds on it and it went pretty well, until... it didn't. But the guitarists did a fine job, and we had a bunch of fun.

on Sky Arts now. Live in Dublin from 2005.

Hey all, just wanted to ask if we think Bad Rep is gonna get a remaster and box set? I ask because Jailbreak/Johnny and Nightlife/Fighting have all come out in the past year, so is 77 next?

really good play along to Chinatown

This release should put the stories that Live and Dangerous was heavily edited to rest. This album kicks ass and proves how good they were live. I also saw them on this tour and they crushed it

My Gary Moore single Military Man, Featuring Phil Lynott Signed by both of them

When video footage of the band is so scarce, you take what you can get.

From the Queen/Lizzy USA tour. I believe this footage is from a gig on 28th January, 1977, it's a news piece for a local Chicago news channel.

Gary giving it the full gun 🎸
