I played in a local band in Bradford called Tuxedo and was lucky enough to support Grand Slam at Bradford University. It was the gig of a lifetime for us and will never forget Phil saying "Well played Son" as I came off stage: A True hero of mine and sadly missed!
Thank you for saving this. Everyday I wonder what Phil would have done into the 90's, 2000's, and beyond. He was The Rocker, The Romeo, The Poet, The Hero, The Madman, The Fox, The Cowboy, always connecting with his Lonely Hearts. The best frontman in 70's & 80's Rock, he had it all in the palm of his hands until addiction slowly took it away. His songs will be played and his work admired 100 years from now. Rest in Peace Roisin Dub
This video is so sad.. if it were billed as thin lizzy it would have been a rebirth of their sound for the 80's. Phil is the greatest rock hero of all time. RIP PHILO!
I'm glad He was creative AFTER Thin Lizzy. Maybe contracts wouldn't allow Him to call it Lizzy...but I agree with what I'm hearing in this last band. Why COULDNT He interest anyone in giving Him a new music contract? I think someone downplayed His GrandSlam effort as not new....bullshit!. I'm very happy He was Very Loved. Nice.
Phil Lynott was talented poet, musician, composer, vocalist and bassit . One of the best vocalists of all time. He sang in various musical generes with his beautiful strong voice. His beautiful songs pass from generation to generation .♥️♥️♥️🎸🎶
As a 13 yr old lad Phil was my hero, saw him live with Lizzy (2× with Snowy 2× with Sykesy ) but never with Grandslam). My form teacher Mr Cox came into school one day RAVING about having seen them in Ireland & he told me it was even better than a Lizzy gig❤❤❤ Rip Phil & Mr Cox(two ROCKERS!!!!).
Miss this man every day of my life. he paved the way for so many of us and inspired us to play and make music. God rest you philo. They broke the mould,and we will not see another like you my friend. x
Nostell Priory (nr Wakefield, West Yorkshire) was a briefly lived festival. Reading had its planning permission revoked tgat year so a lot of the bands due to play there headed up the M1 to join this bill. It was pretty cheap to get in and was sponsored by Theakestones brewery
I saw Grand Slam many times. Like Wild Horses it was the continuation of the Lizzy legend and my friends and I loved them. Thanks Mark. Great memories of Phil and your gang 🎸🎸👍
Thanks Mark, I can''t begin to understand how fantastic it would have been to play with that man. He did inspire me to pick up the bass, but I never unlocked the instrument like he did and he was if possible an even better singer as well.
Artist with A capital letter! Perfect mastery of the stage, rocker par excellence, excellent lyricist, should have played in Live Aid, would be the revival of Thin Lizzy and his presentation to the new generations ... but his "friends" Midge Ure and Bob Geldoff left him out after probing Thin Lizzy. This destroyed him and shortened the path to his death. Very sad it...
Geldof is a jealous bitch. Zero talent. Zero class. Zero morality. Very few know the real story why Thin Lizzy got blackballed from Live Aid Ask Bob, he knows how it all went down. With friends like Bob, Phil didn't need enemies.
My poor cousin died at 39 and he’d been using heroin I didnt find all this out till he died I told Philomena about it and she asked me to join the Roisin Dubh trust I will this year xxx
One of the best and catchy rock songs ever written, how Phil and the boys never got a record contract in these days is a mystery, this song deserved to be a massive hit all over the world, that crowd are a bunch of tossers though ffs😏
@@nonrevnosnibormetalbeerrev6251 Of course! But it's why they couldn't get a deal..they were a high risk investment. Also Phil was getting busted often during this time. It was well known he was 'messing with the heavy stuff'.I love the Grand Slam stuff. I wish Phil was still here making the kind of music only he could. My favorite Musician ever.
Rock and Roll along with so many people miss Phil. I’m so thrilled to have found this live performance of him performing Dedication. Tragedy is often a part of R&R: drummer Michael Lee, one of the best I ever saw played with today’s Thin Lizzy died from epilepsy a year or so after seeing them play in Detroit.
By this time in Philip's life he would have to use bottled oxygen in breaks and during normal days You have understand when Philip did something it was to the max! his heavy drug use goes back to 1974 that my research shows As Philip used to say i am not mr lynott but i am mr whynott. Love ya Philip Rip❤
What an absolute talent ,saw him twice,once with Lizzy and Slam,I thought they were good ,but no record company would touch him,apparently Laurence Archer has formed a band called Grand Slam,but without Phil and Mark,what's the point?
I agree. Mark was and is an integral part of Grand Slam. I think it was Mark who reformed Grand Slam a couple of years ago. Didn't they already play Sweden Rock?
@@Thirdfish Grand Slam is the tribute band in fact. Archer is the only one left. Without Phil and Mark they can hardly be called Grand Slam. Sad really.
Mark Stanway I saw some Grand Slam footage with a band that doesn't seem to have much in common with the Grandslam I used to know. Even using the old logo but obviously for new songs? Is this just an unofficial spin off? Are you part of this?
@@markstanway1 Thank you Sir. Surprising, I never thought it so easy to sort of borrow a brand name for obvious own marketing purposes especially with newish songs and a complete new line-up without connection to Phil's original Grand Slam. An interesting arrangement but if I may say so without you not at all authentic.
@@joycemiller7808 That's funny. Hey 'Joyce' or maybe rather 'AJA' in disguise? 😉 Are you GS guys so desperate for attention and appreciation that you try to offend everyone who dissents from you on your GS attempt? How sad.
Saw Black Rose Tour 1979 Day on the Green on a hit of Mikey Mouse Acid when I was 12yrs old, also Ozzy Osbourne twice on Purple Microdot Mescaline, I was 15 & 16yrs old & Scorpions & Iron Maiden 1982 Day on the Green 1982 on a hit of Goofy LSD Acid 1982, I was 16yrs old, good times!⸸⁶⁶⁶⛧🤘
What's this new Grandslam without Mark Stanway? Sure that must be a joke? Mark was essential for Grandslam and was with Phil and John before GS started.
@@rockwiththearchers8599 But is Mark Stanway part of the band? It's been said Mark didn't even get proper credits and why only on a couple of tracks? Sad as without Mark 'your' band wouldn't even exist and such a stupid move trying to degrade a renowned musician to a part time 'session player'. Were you worried he could easily outdo you?

There is BBC concert recording of Phil;s grand Slam which sounded better that this on original broadcast, but great to see this nonetheless Mark. I;ve subscribed!. Lawrence Archer seems a canny fella, his lass sells the T shirts, and Mike Riley the singer has a much better voice than BSR's Ricky. Seen 'em both in the last year and Grand Slam rocked BSR's ass off (as did Mike Monro of Hanoi Rocks)!
@@BrianMaidenO2No one doubts his playing skills. But Mark Stanway was the only founding member left so after Archer kicked him out it's no longer Grandslam but Archer with a couple of unrelated buddies.
@@BrianMaidenO2I don't think so. Archer is trying to sell himself as founder of the band together with Lynott to give his current Grand Slam outfit the slightest bit of credibility. But he wasn't a founding member. Archer is just cashing in on band name and on Lynott's name.

Phil Lynott was a rock n roll titan, with a good heart.
did you get a recording of the gig
You're so right.
Nice 👍

Total legend 🤘☘🎸🎸🤘☘☘ been a fan a long time here in england🎷🎷 a very missed artist

Hero , to see him play makes me happy and at the same time sad , never forget this great man . R.I.P . Giant
This song is 10/10. The man had so much soul. What an artist.
I was there....✌😎
What a precious record! Long live Lynott's legacy!
What a song
Saw Grand Slam in a pub in Bannockburn , couldnt hear much for two days. What a gig.
Thanks Mark, I can''t begin to understand how fantastic it would have been to play with that man. He did inspire me to pick up the bass, but I never unlocked the instrument like he did and he was if possible an even better singer as well.
❤ from Sweden
Absolutely love this version
Awesome song
Merci Mark for this great memory. Great, I was there.
I'm really fond of this song.

In full health, a reformed Lizzy, perhaps featuring Mr. Gary Moore, would have given Queen a run for their money
...imagine Live Aid with Thin Lizzy...and Rory Gallagher...
Geldof is a jealous bitch.
Zero talent.
Zero class.
Zero morality.
Very few know the real story why Thin Lizzy got blackballed from Live Aid
Ask Bob, he knows how it all went down.

Who is on guitar and drums ?
Really on guitar is who wrote the song. Laurence Archer
@@joycemiller7808 and Robin George the other one?
Robbie Brennan on drums, a gent. RIP
Not really a grand slam. I know it was feeling nice band when you left. But this version more like a Happy meal..... Was soggy fries
I prefer this version...
Why are ppl just like gabbing away loads if I was around then I’d of been in awe 🫢
