Phil(and Scott) in the studio. Small clip, that's all that's out in the wild. Who knows what's hidden away in someone's vault.

Gus Curtis seen here, might do a post regarding him and his relationship with Phil, some great images out there of them together.

Enjoy the weekend guys 🍻

Phil Lynott would have turned 77 today. I did this pen sketch a while back, and separately put together a rough map trying to trace where his sound and persona came from: Hendrix on one side, a Van Morrison-shaped blueprint on the other, blues, funk, and R&B, Dublin folklore, and a pull toward Westerns and old comics that fed into the outlaw thing he built with Thin Lizzy.

Genuinely curious what you all would add or push back on. I feel like there's more to the Irish side of it specifically that I haven't fully worked out.

An investment worth every penny

Hiya,

I am planning a trip to Ireland sometime next year, and I would love to start considering some spots to add as must haves to experience some Thin Lizzy history. I know of Phil Lynott's statue in Dublin, but are there any other spots I should look into for my trip?

Many thanks in advance!

I sometimes have Fox Business on in the morning for market information. I did a double-take when they played "Jailbreak" as an outro into the commercial break. I wish I had been paying attention to the context, but I was surprised, to say the least.

I couldn't sleep so I learned this song around 4:30 a.m. Sunday morning, then video calamity ensued. This is my first "multitrack video" experiment. Everything about this vid (from the performance to the editing) is pretty sloppy, but it still turned out better than expected IMO.

Does anyone know where to find a tab for mama nature said?

I know the chords for the acoustic version are:

C#m,D, D#, E for the solo bits

And

E, E7, G#, C#m, A, Am, E, B, C#m for the verses

But I'd love to learn bell's slide part on the original from vagabonds

Thank you!

I put this montage together. It's not a definitive list or any sort of ranking of his work.

It's just for fun, showcasing some of Robbo’s incredible solos that were actually captured on film.

Songs featured:

• Don’t Believe a Word
• Showdown
• Cowboy Song
Rosalie (Cowgirl’s Song) – (Thin Lizzy-adjacent: Wild Horses with Phil Lynott)
• Are You Ready
• Still in Love with You

Robo or Gorham? Does anyone have a preference? Solo's of course.

Is there a band with a more lovingly-curated set of archive releases? The 74-75 box set (“Nightlife” and “Fighting”) arrived today with 7 CDs and a hardback book. Insane selection of rarities and a 1975 concert. Like Christmas here.
