R.I.P. John. Saw him with Thin Lizzy, Birch Hill club in New Jersey. Fantastic beginning of the tribute to Phil’s life. Honorable men. God bless them both.
holy smokes what a jammin tune. dude had to die before I found it but I'm glad I did. Didn't even remember him being with TL 'till I read an article just now. Thanks for posting.
It was a real shame that this incarnation of Thin Lizzy couldn’t have lasted a few more years. The addition of John Sykes really seemed to reinvigorate the rest of the band and they recorded their best music in years. I’m glad that I had the chance to see them play at Hammersmith Odeon before Phil’s premature death.
Scott Gorham had to deal with his drug problem and Phil was getting worse with his..... videos from shortly after this show Phil as bloated and looking very ill... I think if the band hadn't folded when it did, things would have got very bad and may not have left the legacy it did
Just went to see the tribute rock band Limehouse Lizzy currently on tour and holy meatballs are they as close to these legends or what?!?!?!?! If you love the legends that were Thin Lizzy… go see Limehouse Lizzy. Absolutely brilliant. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
One and only shadow of the great Gary Moore. Im not a Sykes fan boy, ive heard both several times and Sykes wete never and never will be, in the same class. Sorry
Never saw Lizzy live. Seen 4 tributes, all give a taste of what Thin Lizzy were about. But none come close to the real band from what I get from these vids. Very sad we lost Phil so young. What a great talent he was.
My dad taped this off the TV back in the 80s ... it was the only thin lizzy gig footage I had as a kid to watch ...RUclips is great for this sorta thing....... lizzy was a special band.....tho Phil was not well...the guy never missed a beat.what a band....30 odd years later...it still does it for me...
For anyone wondering or interested, I'm pretty sure this was at the Regal Theatre in Hitchin and was likely filmed on January 26th 1983. You can find the full concert on RUclips.
Yes and I think it was before the thunder and lightning album came out too so a few new songs for the fans. I think the live picture on the back of the album is from this gig.
The times i could have seen them live 🤔, i eventually caught them at the Reading Festival 83..... great set great band and Lynott held all 30 odd thousand of us in the palm of his hand .… thanx for the music Phil 🎸👏
I first heard this song on a Megadeth album. Both versions are killer but I am impressed with how heavy Thin Lizzy was. To me it is what Heavy Metal is all about.
Agreed Louise, I can't remember if Mustaine credited Thin Lizzy on 13 for the cover. I always wanted to know who did the original and I was pleasantly surprised to hear Dave covered it perfectly.
Just imagine if Phil had lived, and this version went on... I wonder how many of those " Whitesnake" songs would have been on the next few Thin Lizzy albums...
i am 54, heard their big hits & loved them back then. thanks to this archive i am hearing and seeing this for the first time! Phil & lizzy r my new faves of all time!! thanks for posting!!
Robbo and Scott were my two faves …. Bad Reputation Reading festival 77 at age 17 a true gem of a gig…this is food for thought though, kicks ass in all the right places. Solid as a rock Lizzy. 👌🏼🕉
Scott, Robbo, Phil, and Brian. That’s Thin Lizzy folks. Every other version of the band that followed was meant to maintain the bar that was set by those guys.
RIP John Sykes
And that's how you do it. Thanks for the memories John.
RIP John Sykes true legend. He brought a new energy to Lizzy.
RIP John Sykes 😢 Rockin up there with Phil now .
Rest In Peace John...
RIP John Sykes....A great guitar slinger has left us.
RIP, John Sykes 😢
RIP John Sykes, and of course the man Phil.... :(
RIP John. Most underrated guitar player of the 80's 90's
Won’t be another one like Sykes. Very very special.
One of the most monstrous guitar tones of all time !! John was the epitome of a Rock guitar player !!
RIP John Sykes, cant beleeve it
RIP John Sykes legend!!!
Rip John Sykes 🙏
You've been a true guitar hero for our generation
R.I.P. John. Saw him with Thin Lizzy, Birch Hill club in New Jersey. Fantastic beginning of the tribute to Phil’s life. Honorable men. God bless them both.
RIP genius John Sykes! 🙏🏽
That sweet spot between hard rock and heavy metal. Perfect
One of the reasons why Thin Lizzy might seriously be the best rock group of them all.
If you like that spot, you can listen as well «She goes down» by Gotthard 👌👌 the voice and the instruments are awesome.
RIP John u were a Legend
holy smokes what a jammin tune. dude had to die before I found it but I'm glad I did. Didn't even remember him being with TL 'till I read an article just now. Thanks for posting.
I'm just sad R. I. P John🥀
Phil loved writing about seedy gambling. It so works. My favorite Irish band
Reunited with Phil... RIP John gone too soon 😞💔
RIP JOHN GUITAR LEGEND 🎸
rest in peace - John. Rock on with Phil & Gary
To the person who voted this down, it’s called COLD SWEAT not Coldplay (just ask someone who knows about music)

Lol...Best comment ever.
Saw this live at Carlisle and Reading. So lucky
You can see how much Phil was loving this performance, especially after John's solo. They rocked.
Sykes!!
Best Irish ☘️ rock band in the history of forever.
John Sykes and Phil were match made in heaven. What a tune !
Add to the list, Gary Moore. RIP.
Snowy white and Gary more!
What could of should of happened...Phil and John..wow
Definitely no Whitesnake in 84
Phil was and will always be the coolest Irishman that ever existed.
Agree, but you can extend that to the coolest Earthling ever.
If you promote heroin !!!!!????
What about Mrs. Brown?
Theres a legend that says he was born in Paysandù, Uruguay.
@@DudemanSwede 9
Brian Downey a fantastic drummer, all the notes in the right place.
and a man knows every beat existing!!
I think he is really overlooked as one of the greats .
R.I.P. John Sykes.
One of the greatest voices in rock history period.
John Sykes is one badass guitarist.
It was a real shame that this incarnation of Thin Lizzy couldn’t have lasted a few more years.

True this line up fucking rules
Scott Gorham had to deal with his drug problem and Phil was getting worse with his..... videos from shortly after this show Phil as bloated and looking very ill... I think if the band hadn't folded when it did, things would have got very bad and may not have left the legacy it did
@@ianbagley172 worse than death?
RIP John! You will never be forgotten! Virtuoso!
Fuckin' amazing Band!
RIP Phil Lynott
Just went to see the tribute rock band Limehouse Lizzy currently on tour and holy meatballs are they as close to these legends or what?!?!?!?!
If you love the legends that were Thin Lizzy… go see Limehouse Lizzy. Absolutely brilliant. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
yep your right as close to the original as youll get
John Sykes The One and Only
One and only shadow of the great Gary Moore. Im not a Sykes fan boy, ive heard both several times and Sykes wete never and never will be, in the same class. Sorry
One of the coolest songs ever written.
One of the best bands EVER. Shit they make me cry all over again.
Johnny the fox, emerald, rosalie, the sun goes down. ♥️ don't they count? 1983 tour Glasgow apollo. Any cowboys 🤠 💙 out there see the opening band?
with john Sykes.....more then words
Miss you Phillip....
To this date one of my favourite rock tunes and riffs/solos...Thunder & Lightning album remains a masterpiece.
🎸👍
ruclips.net/video/9uwBStjNNZ8/видео.html
Yes! This is one of hard rocks most underappreciated releases.
Vagabonds Kings worriors angels!! Pretty good to
Right you are, It doesn't get much better than Thunder & Lightning. It's one album that's been in heavy rotation for albums I listen to most.
This is such a killer song!! John Sykes is amazing and the little screams he adds is awesome.
Strikes me as an epic live performance band.
No small thing to really impact on a live crowd.
Again, underrated.
Quality and a personal friend of Lemme , Motörhead 👊💥
Magnificent collaboration of Phil Lynott & John Sykes.....exceptionally cool!!
Never saw Lizzy live. Seen 4 tributes, all give a taste of what Thin Lizzy were about. But none come close to the real band from what I get from these vids. Very sad we lost Phil so young. What a great talent he was.

It’s a shame all most have heard is boys back in town. These dudes jam and rock hard! Even in the 2022! I salute them .
Sykes touching sky ♥
So highly underrated.
This band with Sykes on guitar and Phil’s vocals. Forget it. What a ticket. Rip Phil.
For anyone wondering or interested, I'm pretty sure this was at the Regal Theatre in Hitchin and was likely filmed on January 26th 1983. You can find the full concert on RUclips.

I love thin Lizzy
saw Thin Lizzy at almost every festival in Germany for 4 years I consider myself lucky AF.
Killer track and Sykes was on fire.
Brian Downey killing the beat!!
Solid as a rock!!!👏👏👏
And still is to this day.
Killer guitar solo!
So gifted ... so dedicated to alkohol and drugs ... so sad ... so still in love with you 💔😢
Never heard a Gibson and a fender sound so good together
RIP,John hell of a guitarist.
Fuckin' Sykes...he just always had it! Goddamn.
The last of the great guitar bands.
class! and to that one person that down voted it ... we will find you :-)
Its unbelievable how great they really were. Phils music will live forever
Scott Gorham: unsung hero and pillar of Thin Lizzy!
R.i.p. Phil .You were gone to young .Thin Lizzy and Phil will live forever .Thanks for the memories.
RIP John Sykes, Phil Lynott & Gary Morre.
1983 . The Spring. I was about to graduate and this album came to my attention. Im still not the same. Crying shame it was only one album.
The times i could have seen them live 🤔, i eventually caught them at the Reading Festival 83..... great set great band and Lynott held all 30 odd thousand of us in the palm of his hand .… thanx for the music Phil 🎸👏
This is the song that got me into Thin Lizzy as it was in the UK top 40 charts. Tommy Vance used to do it on Sunday evenings on the BBC.
joer que BUENOSSSS..nunca los pude ver..LONG LIVE PHIL LYNOTT AND THIN LIZZY❤
One off my favourite thin lizzy songs
One of my TL favorites. Such a rocker!
Simply awesome 🇮🇹
What a kick ass band!
What a band.
R.I.P John Sykes, guitar genius.
Everyone in Thin Lizzy was top notch. With Phil, he truly conjured up the very fucking best out of all of them.
Love lizzy wish I had seen them in concert 😢
I first heard this song on a Megadeth album. Both versions are killer but I am impressed with how heavy Thin Lizzy was. To me it is what Heavy Metal is all about.
Sodom covered it, too.
Go Ireland! This is really heavy!
This is really hard rock, but I hear you.
Agreed Louise, I can't remember if Mustaine credited Thin Lizzy on 13 for the cover. I always wanted to know who did the original and I was pleasantly surprised to hear Dave covered it perfectly.
Phil lynott brilliant player and Frontman songwriter of all time
Best Band!!!
Cold Stone crazy! Phil sang all the choruses reversed! I love it! Great song. Great band.
Thats because Phil was the best and could get away with it 😎🤘
Just imagine if Phil had lived, and this version went on... I wonder how many of those " Whitesnake" songs would have been on the next few Thin Lizzy albums...
A few from 87, none from 84 because Sykes had no songwriting credits.
Tight as...what a band!
Pure gold
i am 54, heard their big hits & loved them back then. thanks to this archive i am hearing and seeing this for the first time! Phil & lizzy r my new faves of all time!! thanks for posting!!
T&L -- absolutely awesome album. And this was the killer track.
What kick ass band. Simply fantastic
Great video, these guys were masters of syncopation, and had a lot of balls!❤
I sore thin lizzy at reding 83 it was amazing
I love this
Robbo and Scott were my two faves …. Bad Reputation Reading festival 77 at age 17 a true gem of a gig…this is food for thought though, kicks ass in all the right places. Solid as a rock Lizzy. 👌🏼🕉
Scott, Robbo, Phil, and Brian. That’s Thin Lizzy folks. Every other version of the band that followed was meant to maintain the bar that was set by those guys.
