Is that band under-appreciated or what? A friend of mine just sent me a live performance of the track 'Emerald' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rENy7MQIYJs - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rENy7MQIYJs ... and now I'm listening to 'Cold Sweat'. Post your favorite Thin Lizzy videos if you'd like!

| Great band, I'm not sure that they are under-appreciated. Lizzy were actually the first band I ever saw, supporting Bachman-Turner Overdrive at the Hammy Odeon around 1974. "Live and Dangerous" is great, their only problem was the weak production on some of their albums - it doesn't really capture the power of the live album. Great twin guitar work. |

Great band indeed ! I was at Reading in 1983, when they performed for the last time, and was knocked over by how good they were. They absolutely wiped the floor with Black Sabbath, who had headlined the festival on Saturday (it was the notorious show with the outsize Stonehenge and "Smoke on the Water" as an encore ). Pity they ended up too soon, and shame on those who reformed them without Phil Lynott.

They're not under appreciated by me..  Great band. I was listening to Johnny the Fox a couple of weeks back. That was the first Lizzy album I bought, and I still love it. Thunder & Lightening was their heavy metal masterpiece, imo.------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

Jailbreak is a masterpiece. But I already wrote this sentence in a previous Thin Lizzy thread.

I love all their tunes. I have heard the rumor where the bank that is called before "Thin Lizzy" exists.
