I often wonder if Eric could have stuck it out longer & got his head right would 3 piece Lizzy have been even more succesful than classic dual guitar Lizzy...for me, Thin Lizzy was good debut, Shades built on that promise & Vagabonds was superb... Can only imagine how great the fourth album could have been.. The Classic Lynott/Downey/Robertson/Gorham sound is my favourite i must admit but a lot of the Bell stuff is right up there at the top with it... thanks for uplaoading.. really enjoyed that!
Thin Lizzy - этих ребят ни с кем не спутаешь !!! Только этой группе присущая такая манера исполнения. Легендарные музыканты !!! Почёт и уважение !!! 🌟🎤🎸🎸🎸
Revisiting this, watching Phil get fired up as Eric finishing up that closing solo. Pretty cool. That excited cat waiting to pounce thing, I don't think I ever saw another guitarist evoke that out of Phil.
Steffan Pila A Great Live Version of "Slow Blues." The song is super but the best part is Eric Bell's amazing guitar solo at the end of this song. Long Live Thin Lizzy and the guitar madman Eric Bell.
Thanks for making this available .I knew that Eric Bell was influenced by Hendrix and Beck but I detect a strong Roy Buchannan influence here also, great stuff !
I turned on to Lizzy from the Jailbreak album. So from my perspective THAT was the first Thin Lizzy that I knew. For me Thin Lizzy will always be about Phil. Brian Downey always there. But I accept each lineup as a different incarnation. And because I think PHIL WAS LIZZY I accept the different styles that the band had. I'm an Eric Bell fan. And you can call it the more commercial lineup. But I liked Lizzy best with Gorham and Robertson. Because, like I said, THEY were the Lizzy that I first turned on to.
Great point about Eric Bell era Thin Lizzy. Vagabonds was so strong and they were on the right path - having it fly apart was a tragedy. I wish Eric had a taken a break, gotten his head right, then come back. Alas, it was not to be. Lynott/Bell/Downey is Thin Lizzy to me. I never accepted or connected to with the later commercialized version of the band. It was almost soulless after Eric left, becoming watered down for maximum success.
Well… if wishes were horses, beggars would ride… I agree that Mr. Bell was essential, but it was Mr. Lynott's band in the end. Both should have taken a year out, but to get money, recording and touring was essential. The music industry has changed radically, but, back in the day, they had to be strong to take the pace. Twelve albums in twelve years was brutal, and also the reason Thin Lizzy is such a great band.
my sediments exactly. I love All the earlier stuff but Lynott/BD/SG/BR is the better by volume in songs & tone/style..this is a REAL Treasure !! LIZZY Lives !
@ westafoolaway urbantheking I think that they are by a company called HH. They came out in the 70's and I used to have one. They were transistor amps which had a built-in fuzz.sustain circuit that was pretty unique. Eric does not have that switched in this clip - as I discovered myself, although it was a really great sound in itself, it totally swamped out anything else you tried to use at the same time like wah, phaser, etc, although the amp did have a send/return loop. I'm sure that Eric is just using it as I did, leave the channel on normal and overdrive it yourself if and when required. Those HH amp control panels were back-lit in a flourescent green. They caused a bit of a sensation when they came out, but soon disappeared and I have never seen one since the Seventies. btw....... Eric Bell is/was a fookin awesome guitarist :-) pic of an HH "Valve-Sound" head here i2.wp.com/amploft.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/IMP_0982.jpeg?ssl=1

Revisiting this after a year. This still blows me away. It makes the twin guitar line up look like amateurs. Yes, I said it, the PL/BD/SG/BR line up pales in comparison to PL/BD/EB. With the twin guitars, the band lost the organic feel plus, Phil took the band towards the mullet "tough" crowd lyrically. His style, sensitivities and interaction with Eric was special. They lost something special when Eric left.Gorham or Robertson don't have the evocative ability Bell has. Phil's writing shined with that evocative ability.
I totally agree with you that this was the best lineup of the band imho. I saw them play around '73 and they were just awesome. I've met Eric Bell a few times, a really nice guy :-) The twin guitar lineup just never gave me that thrill of the three-piece. I them with Gary Moore on guitar as well - brilliant!
Bloody hell, never thought I'd see this.....Eric is a great guitarist....thanks for a great post
Vagabonds of the western world is often overlooked unfortunately... this album is awesome.
One of the best Lizzy albums.
also the Album cover and artwork is Awesome .. would make a wonderfull poster for a wall !

Eric looks the part and sounds even better. A brilliant and original player.
The best!
The singing is so great!
I love some of the early Lizzy stuff
Lynott would still be making damn good music if he was still with us today.🎸🎤
Um, he's got enough hidden, solo/ demo work to be found online to last the next 2 years

Dificult to not level the lynott's interpretation, pure poetry.
Lynott is a legend .
Yes he is 🤎💜🤍🧡💛💚💙❤💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Friend of mine went back stage after a lizzy gig around this time, met the band and played Erics guitar❤
did he asked him or just grab it? lol.
This baseline is the pulse of Mother Earth!!!
& Eric Bell!
a heavy metal power trio at its purest
A fantastic song!
Thanks for making this available .I knew that Eric Bell was influenced by Hendrix and Beck but I detect a strong Roy Buchannan influence here also, great stuff !
I'd have said Rory Gallagher
I hear Roy B with the pinch harmonics too on the end solo.
@@woodybowen5362 Yes
Happy Birthday Eric Bell !!
thanks
Eric Bell is the best guitarist. Vagabonds is their best album.
Eric Bell, man.
Thin Lizzy mk I. .thanks!

Phil was king backed up by 2 legends Bell and Downey Lizzy can do no wrong.
I would have said more a reggae blues fusion style track. Great to see Eric Bell in some of the earlier performances
Brilliant!
I love this baby of a song

I think I've read that Marc Bolan used HH amps
❤Gooooöd!
great
Bell was reggae first here. Lynott was a madman.
i love eric bell tunes, the best
Is there a live performance of vagabond of the western world from this berlin gig you can upload???
man i dig Phil Lynott
What kind of amps are those that Eric Bell used back anyone knows?I love the sound amazing cut and so pure!
HH IC100. I think he used the Sustain-channel, and maybe even pushed it further using a Colorsound-pedal.

Not enough credit is given to the Eric Bell era of Lizzy.
true

No.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reminds me of Rory Gallagher.
He never did the tasty solo in the middle of the song. 😞
What a 3 piece.
A 3 piece is a trio of little round green vegetables
This version really misses the the solo from the LP in my humble opinion ; this version doesn't give the song time to breathe.
wtf 1080 equals to 144p here lol
Sounds like did phil just invent reggae
Reggae was in full flow in 73 with Marley, Desmond Dekker, Peter Tosh, Jimmy Cliff and so many more. Get it together, man,
