Solid & Historical

Few 70's era bands have aged as well as Thin Lizzy, and part of the appeal is a hard working reputation, soulful vocals from Lynott, and powerful arrangements that feature their twin guitar attack. Recorded at Derby College in November 1975, we get a professional band, now several years into their career, yet still honing the sound, and the intro to the then formative "Cowboy Song" features Phil saying tonight: we'll call it 'Derby Blues'...I am not sure if these classic BBC tapes were part of a collection I had on an import CD previously, but it's great to hear them none the less. Sharp, clear & solid tapes that are definitely decent downloads...

Lizzy Lives!

Great live recording of a band hitting their stride. I actually prefer the rawness of this recording to the proper "Live and Dangerous" record (which is stellar). It seems to capture the electricity of the band's performance a bit better. Phil's vocals are some of the best I've ever heard from him, very soulful. This is a true jem.

Great Surprise!!

Very good show. Recorded for radio broadcast so it sounds very good. If you like "Tin" Lizzy beyond the one American hit you'll really enjoy this concert. Band was really rockin' this night. Weren't they always though!

eMusic Yearbook: 2003

By Matthew Fritch, eMusic Contributor

Datelines Toronto, Vancouver, Winnipeg and Montreal circa 2003: Something happened in the asymmetrical four corners of Canada. We don't know what it was, but it was perpetrated by Canadians - who are not unlike Americans but, as their socialized medicine, relative humility and widespread knowledge of French make clear, are not like Americans at all. Throughout the '90s, Canada was viewed as an indie-rock backwater, home to oddball outfits - DIY-folk duo Mecca Normal, psych-guitar… more »

They Say All Music Guide

Here is a slice of Thin Lizzy at their proverbial best touring the U.K. in 1975 in support of Fighting, the album released the year before they ripped the lid off it with Jailbreak. As such, this set reveals — albeit with a little less in terms of sound quality since this is clearly a radio broadcast — Lizzy as one of the greatest live bands in history. The recording was done officially, the release is questionable. Everything is audible with only the slightest sound deterioration here, (and the song selection is terrific from the early years); the performance is just on fire. “The Rocker” is here, as is a stunning rendition of “Cowboy Song,” an overdriven “Me and the Boys,” “Fighting My Way Back to You,” and “The Wild One,” to name the blasters. The midtempo selections include their amazing cover of Bob Seger’s “Rosalie” (the songwriter should have quit performing it after Lizzy issued it on their album), and an electric blues rendition of “Still in Love with You.” For those who worship at this particular rock altar and don’t have this show, it’s most definitely a necessity — especially since there are four never-before-released live cuts! – Thom Jurek
