Three of most underrated musicians in hard rock history. Thin Lizzy live were untouchable, my first gig seeing a 'big band' or any band probably. I was 15 and it was Hammersmith Odeon over 45 years ago! Seen hundreds of bands since then, many who were more famous and successful but no-one could top Lizzy. The bond between the late, great Phil Lynott and the audience was on a different level to any other act. People who bore on about overdubs on "Live And Dangerous" clearly never saw the band in their mid to late '70's pomp.....f*cking untouchable!!❤
If that was one of the gigs with Gary Moore and Scott I might have been there too at the same age. Glorious night. I touched Gary’s foot. It did spoil me a bit for live music, though.
Every single words you said is true, My 6 brothers and I followed Thin Lizzy from the start up to the ends and I can confirm that Thin Lizzy & Rory Gallagher were the best bands in the world of brilliant rocking music
Just reading what you were saying Charlie. It was my first gig too except that I was 11 years old, still at Primary School and my elder brother who was a Rock nut took me to see them. We went to the Birmingham Odeon in Nov '77. My life changed there and then. My jaw dropped at how good that live performance was, as you said, untouchable It was so nice almost 45 years later telling Brian Downey at my local theatre with his band Alive and Dangerous what an incredible night that was. He gave me a signed drum skin afterwards which I didn't ask for by the way, he just forwarded it to me. Top drummer no doubt about it.
Brian Downey My #! most underrated drummer.... Why ? He did what he as supposed to do, like Charlie Watts, Even John Bonham, He did what he is supposed to do and expected to do. Long Live Brian, "Laid it down" as we say live or in the studio! Awesome drummer because he knew the role !!!! God Bless Brian..... from Japan BTW !
I’ve seen dozens of interviews with the guys in Lizzy and hearing each of them speak of the band’s history and legacy is undeniably interesting. They are always in agreement about how things went down - especially musically - and they’re not bitter about it.
Lizzy had some great guitarist.....but take away Brian downy wouldn't sound the same...the guy had wicked skillz ..couldn't imagine a life with out lizzy ..been there my whole life
@@TheGreatAlan75 what a load of rubbish that is ... ignorant even ..Any good drummer will do...u never played with a drummer before I take it...they are all different just like guitar players....finding the right one is harder than finding a good guitar player.. Downey is massively important in lizzy...if you can't hear that..that ain't my fault....just like....Bonham in led zep...Phil rudd in acdc... Watts in the stones.... or say carly barrett in the wailers......it wouldn't be the same with out them... u simply don't understand how it works
For whatever it's worth Robo I give "The Boys" credit. I've been playing for 60 years and I still jam your stuff quite regularly. As a guitar player you and Scott were next level.
From age 14 in the 70’s I learned guitar and spent a whole night (a school night too) learning both lead breaks in Still in Love and later played it in many clubs and pubs around the Wirral near Liverpool and today I’m still in love with the song and the band. Saw them in Manchester and they seriously rocked! Thanks guys for the great times and memories and RIP Phil.
This is great to see these guys years later and hear about everything. My mate and I loved "Tin" Lizzy. Thin Lizzy, Blue Oyster Cult, UFO 🛸, Montrose, Robin Trower, Humble Pie, Led Zeppelin. Etc.
Remember when this Album came out me and the mates played it everyday for about two years solid absolutely the best live Album ever in my opinion , it really was a good era in music and the world ,
Scott Gorham is probably one of the most under rated players ever. He’s my biggest influence by far! His playing style is so smooth yet precise, plus one of the coolest looking ‘guitar hero’dudes on stage of all time. Lucky to have met him briefly before a Black Star Riders show some time back & he couldn’t have been nicer. A true legendary musician, and gentleman. Also love Robo & Brian & Thin Lizzy! Live & Dangerous is the best double live hard rock album of all time. Thanks to whoever produced this video & posted it.
They have provided the soundtrack to my life since 1975. Listened to a lot of good stuff over the years but nothing has bested that sound especially live.
Loaded with talent, but Brian Downey is an exceptional drummer! I love all of the outtake tapes that are on the interweb. Because his drums are usually up in the mix.
I don't understand it when people call Thin Lizzy 'Underrated'_ When I grew up in the 70's & 80's Everyone I knew besides my Grandparents thought Thin Lizzy was Kick Ass, and when I started playing guitar & bass all of the guys I jammed with - Ever - Hailed Thin Lizzy as one of the All Time Greats_ In school conversations about the top Drummers.....Brian Downey was always mentioned as one of the best, and all those Guitarists.....Bell, Gorham, Robertson, White, Moore, & Sykes - Everyone ranked them high_ I guess in today's world where Rock is Dead the young people don't revere them, but if you Rocked in the 70's & 80's then you DID revere Thin Lizzy
Yes I get so tired of hearing how "underrated" all these million selling album artists are. Its got to be one of the most nothing comments made, particularly on music videos.
Yep, people on RUclips are ALWAYS saying that so-and-so is/was so underrated when the person/band/team etc were HUGE at the time. A friend of mine actually read somewhere, and this was some music blog or something like that, and the guy said that QUEEN wasn't popular in the 1970's! HA! Queen was all over the bloody radio all the time! I think a lot of these people who say someone was underrated, probably weren't even alive back in the day, and maybe they feel like they've 'discovered' some long-lost band that nobody knew about. If so then it's pretty hilarious really.
Lizzy were most definitely not underated, I was lucky to see them the 70s awsome gig, Gary Moore was with them at the time. It really baffles me when I see people saying they were underated and makes me wonder if they were around at the time or are true fans or not.
The robbo scott era , and the run of albums from nightlife to live and dangerous were the real magic iineup, and if that lineup would have become huge , then who knows ? I was so lucky to see them on the nightlife tour ( roundhouse) and also on the fighting and jailbreak tours. I feel fortunate to have seen them at that point. They were so great live.
Thanks much for posting this interview it is awesome since Lizzy have been my fave band since 1976 ,yes I'm old lol. Brian Downey is far too humble the is an fantastic drummer!
This group IMO was so so underrated as was the talent of the four musician songwriters who made up Thin Lizzy. The way you know that these men truly were a band that gelled with each other on and off the stage were in this interview they were all so complimentary of each other with no cheap shots taken at one another. The one liner in this interview that cracked me up was Scott saying "Man I'm glad I did not take up drums" lol. If there was one shortcoming in the group it seems that these three musicians did not the credit the or money they deserved for their contributions to the songs.
The thing that really appealed to me about Thin Lizzy was the mix of hard driving rock, soulful bluezy ballads, and Phil Lynott’s amazing lyrics that included references to Irish mythology and cowboys in Texas. My mom is from England and my dad is from Texhoma, Oklahoma, so the music somehow suits my DNA just right.
Great to hear this. Lizzy were the first band I saw . It was Oxford Apollo on the Chinatown tour so I never saw Brian Robertson but I was completely blown away. I only went because all my mates were going to gigs. I didn't know who they were. They started my love of rock music
What I take from this is the evolution of a band. I've been listening to Lizzy now for more than five decades, and I'm just now understanding how advanced this band was. Until Visconti, the band always came up short in the studio, they just couldn't get the feel and sound they wanted. No doubt they were a live band, and to this day, they blow away most groups of that era. My favorite will always be Bad Reputation, with L & D being the greatest live LP of all time.
I never had the pleasure to meet philip, or downey, bell, robertson, & the rest, but, l did meet scott at the staircase lounge, very humble guy, l had 5 to many just to meet one of the member's l was on cloud 9, scott sighned 2 picture's & asked where i got them, l said wildside imports, l first started to listen to live & dangerous on 8 track / still have it l was 12 yrs old, and never looked back, wish l could have met them all, now at 53 love the b sides & rare track's a band that came out of nowhere & shot to fame, all there music is timeless / oh ya it was 2000 l met scott, keep going strong, l enjoy the interview's ❤ joe jr
Went to see Thin Lizzy in I think'76/77 at the Leith town hall in Edinburgh, probably the one and only time there was a concert there. There were three bands playing and I'm sure one of the other bands was Skid Row. I lived only about a mile away up Ferry Road and the good thing was you could leave the venue after each act mainly because there was a couple of pubs next door. Will never forget.
Its so funny to hear about Phil and Brian the drummer being left on stage at a gig. So he decided that would never happen again - two guitarists solves that! Then their two guitar harmonies became such a great part of their sound.
Frampton comes alive was the biggest selling live album in the mid 70’s. Made in Japan by Deep Purple had already shown how good a live album could be and the spirit of Live and Dangerous was really closer to Made in Japan. Both great live bands and of course Ritchie Blackmore and Ian Paice tried to form a band with Phil .. Baby Face .. but it didn’t get past rehearsals. We will never know what it might have become.
I saw Robbo in Dalymount in Motörhead I supported Downey in Slatts I spent an afternoon in the company of Brush Sheilds and I saw Scott and Phil in lizzy many times and don’t forget Gary Moore on Black Rose and Snowy on China Town and the two last lizzy gigs in the Olympia and Tommy Aldrich was on drums for them last two gigs Thin Lizzy were one of the greatest rock bands ever,,Eric Bell whiskey in Jaro
Funnily enough , I don’t really mind that they are not as big in people’s mind as AC/DC and the rest … Because I know that everyone who saw them knows how amazing they were and it’s like a big secret we share with thousands but not millions and that makes them even more special to me … might sound stupid but that’s how I feel … we know , they don’t …
W polskim radio w latach siedemdziesiątych były puszczane całe płyty: Johnny the Fox,Bad Reputation,Black Rose,Chonatown! Mam je dzisiaj wszystkie na winylu.
15:53 I find it VERY interesting that one member says Phil didn't WANT it to be only him writing the songs and even encouraged them to get involved with the writing of the music and lyrics. Then the other says he was "Kind of" taken for granted "I just wanted to play music and get wrecked" while also saying he didn't know that royalties were given to the writer of the songs and that they were almost all Lynott credits. Then proceeds to say he was involved in the arranging. I believe him that he did some of the arranging to a degree but there's not royalties for arranging unless you're doing a movie score or something like that from what I know. But I think one of them is talking out of a bitterness that He didn't get involved in the writing end as much so he didn't and to this day still doesn't get the same type or amount of royalties those that did are getting or got. As well the arranging is oten taken care of in the writing process for the most part. You of course change how long a piece might run like the guitar solo or the Bridge part might be better if repeated and brought from a gentle point of an octave lower then the third time around bring it to a fever pitch and an Octave higher or something like that. But it's not "Writing the song". Or Lyrics.
Jim Morrison insisted that the doors split the songwriting royalties equally. A band creates rock songs not the guy who comes in with lyrics and chords. Remarkable that these three guys didn’t ask for the credit.
seen thin lizzy in most line ups only one i never saw was with eric bell but saw mige ure snowy white brian robinson gary more absoulte fantastic rock band saw them at my local back in the day the dog on the hadley road before they went on to ott in brum
One of few regrets I have in life was not seeing them. Johnny The Fox is probably my fav album. And Still In Love With You off of the Live & Dangerous album is one of the greatest songs ever. Period end of story
Me too!! One of life’s regrets not seeing Lizzy. I saw Phil with his band Grand Slam who were great and Brian with Motörhead but I would have loved to have seen Thin Lizzy.
The Pride of Glendale High School I Remember Reading The Local Newspaper and There was a Article on Scott The Pride of Glendale High School Joins Thin Lizzy
Eric Bell left the Band in the middle of the set, Phil and Brain had to finish. Scott G: "Probably the first Drum'n' Bass thing that ever went down." Lol
Is that Brian Robinson (second guy) speaking on joining lizzy ? Omg he doesn't look old enough now to have been from those days .seriously he looks like he is in his 30s now .anyone else notice this ? Lad most definitely found the fountain of youth huh ?
I suspect this has been ripped off of another production and the “weird” camera work is down to either attempting to circumvent copyright and/or a ratio problem going from a much larger file format to YT. I’m guessing. Take it for what you will. Edit: spelling
Thin Lizzy was awesome. Phil could sing, write and play a mean bass. The two guitar players Scott and Brian were great together. Brian Downey was a great swing drummer who was a great back bone rhythm section with Phil. The LiveAlbum is actually one of thd best ever made. Thin Lizzy rocks period!!

Knockout comment
Scott Goreham.... what a top geezer. Mr Cool
right Gorham?
Geezer?? U are a snowflake fool
thumbs up because EVERTON
„Live and dangerous“ is one of the best Liverecordings ever on this Planet!! Got this Album for over 40 Years and I m still in Love with it!!
this & ufo
I've read it wasn't a real live album.
@ Maybe - but it sounds really close to it! They have made some overdubs but so what??
I fully Agree................Awesome LIVE album
Brian Robertson a genius
They were such a great live band.
Live and dangerous is one of my favourite albums. I saw Thin Lizzy around 1983 at Carlisle Market Hall. Great Memories.
Brian Downey My #! most underrated drummer.... Why ? He did what he as supposed to do, like Charlie Watts, Even John Bonham, He did what he is supposed to do and expected to do.

Yeah. Downey was the unsung hero of lizzy.
The songs are the most important thing
Any good drummer will do.

All well known talented musicians are underrated, there, I said it, so no one else has to.
There is always in the comments someone saying so and so band is underrated.

Very nice down to earth guys who gave us some great music!!!
Gary Moore!!!
Saw them in 1977 on the 'Queen Lizzie' tour in the states and made Queen work hard to conquer those USA audiences in 1977..2 great live acts
Sensational performances by the two.
Thanks much for posting this interview it is awesome since Lizzy have been my fave band since 1976 ,yes I'm old lol.
Brian Downey is far too humble the is an fantastic drummer!
Lizzy at Hammersmith Odeon over 40 years ago....still one the best bands/gigs i have ever been to...they were superb. Cheers guys!

Kudos to the creator of this video. Very well edited
The way that the four of them (Phil, the two Brians and Scott) got together was defo 'happenstance', it was fate!

I came to the right place for TL ! How does Scott look like & sound like Rex Brown of pANTERa. Thx for posting !
I still have my original VINYL copy and to this day it's still one of my all time favourite albums and I still play it regularly.RIP Phil x
Oh, please. The cowboy song is my favorite.
Its a cracker I agree
That's a good one
Thanks for uploading, this is SO interesting...😀
I swear Scott Gorham has always had great hair and is a great guitar player Rock on Scott
T Lizzy live was an enlightenment ! Unbelievable powerfull and really good. Not comparable to their studiowork.

Scott Gorham should have a SiriusXM show.
Said this a million times before, if not for Lizzy(these 4 guys), I never would have picked up a guitar....still pickin'
Keep picking brother ✊
My heroes❤
Eric Bell has a mural dedicated to him in Belfast unveiled a few weeks ago.
Brilliant didn’t know that
@@samplecodeAppaerntly Eric was totally unaware and they all retired to the local church hall for tea, coffee, sandwiches and cake😅

Apparently, some of the Baby Face stuff was recorded but has never seen the light of day.
Brian.. Your gutar part in 'Still in Love With You' is the greatest of all time.
Superb album.
one of the albums that turned me into music
Cheers man, good watch. I played this album to death
"We were in the asshole of somewhere in the mid-West..." 😂
Rock solid Brian Downey
Wow what a great band man.👍⚡
I saw Robbo in Dalymount in Motörhead I supported Downey in Slatts I spent an afternoon in the company of Brush Sheilds and I saw Scott and Phil in lizzy many times and don’t forget Gary Moore on Black Rose and Snowy on China Town and the two last lizzy gigs in the Olympia and Tommy Aldrich was on drums for them last two gigs Thin Lizzy were one of the greatest rock bands ever,,Eric Bell whiskey in Jaro

Amazing🎉. Scott is such a funny bloke. All these musicians are heroes. Skilled like hell. ❤
❤️ this show & album of course
My favorite RUclips channel by far
when Phil died the others should have inherited the music writing credits and royalties
Always loved Thin Lizzy- got the single, preferred the B side Emerald it’s a great tune, then the albums - sound great to this day.

Brian Robertson was 18 when he joined lizzy, So he Didn't know much about royalties and publishing I'd imagine. I can understand
13:35 Exactly
That’s also called respect. If you can have that kind of relationship with someone. That’s a real
friend…..I believe.
shame they should have been more equitable about the credits and royalties
brian robbo robertson met him once in glasgow with wild horses great guy and best guitarist
You lucky bastard!
saw lizzy live in the mid sevntys with saxson as surport in bradford .
Great vibes from great people love ir
seen thin lizzy in most line ups only one i never saw was with eric bell but saw mige ure snowy white brian robinson gary more absoulte fantastic rock band saw them at my local back in the day the dog on the hadley road before they went on to ott in brum
diamonds and gold
Great to hear the guys reflecting on their work. Am I alone in being unsettled by the cutaway monochrome shots of a crotch here, some hands there...?
hahahahahahhahaha me too?? What's with the close-up???
One of few regrets I have in life was not seeing them. Johnny The Fox is probably my fav album. And Still In Love With You off of the Live & Dangerous album is one of the greatest songs ever. Period end of story
I was lucky enough to see them 5 times, Richard, including the Hammy Odeon gig when mosy of 'Live & Dangerous' was recorded - great times!
Me too!! One of life’s regrets not seeing Lizzy. I saw Phil with his band Grand Slam who were great and Brian with Motörhead but I would have loved to have seen Thin Lizzy.
The Pride of
Glendale High School
I Remember Reading The

There was a Article on
Scott
The Pride of
Glendale High School
Joins Thin Lizzy
i totally thought the guy in the grey wife beater was a SNL skit......LOL
I always liked Thin Lizzy.. what a said day in 1986.
Eric Bell left the Band in the middle of the set, Phil and Brain had to finish. Scott G: "Probably the first Drum'n' Bass thing that ever went down." Lol
THE lineup
Just thinking if Phil would have kicked how much more great music we would have had RIP
They never mentioned the Cowboy Song. One of their best
☘☘☘
Scott is achingly cool.
Is that Brian Robinson (second guy) speaking on joining lizzy ? Omg he doesn't look old enough now to have been from those days .seriously he looks like he is in his 30s now .anyone else notice this ? Lad most definitely found the fountain of youth huh ?
Unless that was him in a interview years back
it’s quite a fey years since this was recorded. Robby was the youngest in the band. He was only seventeen when he joined.
So there was a English band called Skid Row also ? Wow never knew that .
Yep, Gary Moore Brush Sheils, Noel Bridgeman made 2 albums, Skid and 34 Hours 1970-1971.
The Skid Row referred to were an Irish band.
What horrendous camera work - a real insult to those talking.
I suspect this has been ripped off of another production and the “weird” camera work is down to either attempting to circumvent copyright and/or a ratio problem going from a much larger file format to YT.
I’m guessing. Take it for what you will.
Edit: spelling
Drugs and alcohol and ?? Killed them sorry to say 1 of my favorite bands 😊
Phil lynott conor mcgregour both from Crumlin
Great musicians, but the direction with the cuts to b&w is annoying AF
What is with all the crutch shots???? It's a bit gay TBH
Now you mention it, I can't unsee it. Crotch zooms are bizarre. Haha.
Yep... pretty annoying..thank goodness the interview is good....
Bring it!
Great documentary!
Learned alot.
Your editor has a strange passion for close up crotch shots. 😕.
ERIC BELL WAS THE BERNIE LEDEN OF THIN LIZZIE THOSE GUYS ARE SIMILAR TO ME HAHAHA
Robbo seems pretty bitter...great player but missed opportunities within Lizzy..
Underrated: the loser’s favorite word 😂😂😂😂
Lizzy on shrooms perfect combination
always sjitty when not all have equal payday greatest double guitars and rythm goingggggg
interesting but too many close ups of jewellery, crotches and bad teeth, distracting from the time line.
Mr. Downey, release the bootlegs, le do thoil. ;) ruclips.net/video/fwi9vp90STU/видео.html
Gary Moore was great , he is not..
Thin Lizzy was awesome. Phil could sing, write and play a mean bass. The two guitar players Scott and Brian were great together. Brian Downey was a great swing drummer who was a great back bone rhythm section with Phil.
The LiveAlbum is actually one of thd best ever made. Thin Lizzy rocks period!!
Are these guy's still alive!!!!
