Thin Lizzy - Dear Miss Lonely Hearts (LIVE!)

[Starcastle3]

This is simply down to sound Engineers,,the band itself is brilliant.What a shit sour set of Engineers.but then again what musianship....

[goldmeister5691]

have been looking all over for this ,I used to have the ep.Seen them do this at Marquee when i worked there .Feeling nostalgic

[keenanX1]

I remember this Dublin concert broadcast in Chicago. It was the Chinatown tour and I believe it was shared with the Dire Straits. Although it was a Gorham/White guitar combo I remember it being quite good! It included Chinatown & Got To Give It Up along with this tune which sounds great live. Scot Gorham is awesome..the melodic shredder!

[zonnyzunny]

Fucking brilliant!

[Pissrattan]

From which album is this? Is it the Live Killer EP?

[Muddyspace]

@Pissrattan Yep



[Muddyspace]

@Pissrattan

yep

[COBRE1975]

dowload ???????????????? please.

[voxepisode]

Love the Dublin rapped "letter" at the end. A live classic, that part. From the Killers Live 4-song 12" EP, 45 RPM! "All bands were BAHHHRED from the RDS (Royal Dublin Society)". 'This was WRONNNNG!!" "Yours Sincerely, Lonely Boy".lol Great.

[MrTinlizzy]

I know ive mentioned it before, but god Greenday have realy nicked,, mmm stolen some chords here,, so so simular,, have a listen to Jesus of Surburbia,, not realy compairing just saying,, nice one Blacksab fan by the way

[kkdowning22]

I was so lucky to see Lizzy live. In fact they were the opening act for Queen and I saw them at a 2500 seat venue. Freddie and Phil on the same stage in one night. That is one of those magical things that looking back, you know how lucky you have been to see them.

Phil, you are truly missed!

[ChimeraAZ]

To MintyNinty21:Um,..Green Day sampled this,not the other way around.Just an FYI,cos this is an Oooold song.Way older than Green Day.Good band they are though! But they arent Thin Lizzy.Luv these guys!!

[kilmo88]

This is so awesome. I didn't start listening to Lizzy until '86 when I was a senior in HS. I met Brian Downey at Slattery's in Dublin in 1999 before his show, and I saw a "lizzy" show also in Dublin. These guys had talent, not like the whiners of today

[daveturu]

up THE IRONS FOR MR LONELY HEARTS

[Geetar2112]

This appeared on the "B" side of an EP (10" edition I think) which I have called Live Killers. The A side started with a blistering version of Are you Ready, it also has Bad Reputation with drum solo and Opium Trail. Excellent stuff, with Phil saluting Bob Geldoff and Aer Lingus:) I always loved that EP. RIP Philo!

[MrTinlizzy]

green day have stolen the opening chords to this,, no probs i like Green Day,, have a listen Jesus of Suburbia,, you will see what i mean,, mind you the whole song reminds me of Lizzy,, some Black Rose in there to

[mintyninty21]

how much was the intro like Jesus of Surburbia?! lol!

[blacksabfan]

@mintyninty21

Considering they are both D Bm G A, a common progression and key....the police's "Every Breathe I Take" is also the same progression and key, which is why Lynott adlibbed it a lot when they did this live.

[legofmunch]

@mintyninty21 You mean how much was Jesus of Suburbia like the intro ha

[DiddlyDom]

Classic,the best,what more is there to say Brilliant!!!!!

[Anders668]

one of the best ^^

[BigAlzer]

put me on that ship too 2010 back to the 70s in a lizzy concert ..

[DrStraightup]

@BigAlzer I'm lucky enough to be old enough to have seen em. 4 times in the 70's. Twice at the New Victoria and twice at Lewisham Odean. Sort of lost track of them in the 80's much to my regret. Remember starting to leave the venue at Victoria, London. They'd done 2 encores and came on for a 3rd, little darling. Couldn't get back in there quick enough.They were a kick arse band. If Phil had lived he'd still be the best. Still in love with you Philo.

[onlyjoetee]

He was actually a very very good lyricist Phil..R.I.P

[biophiliadude]

storytelling and serious rock and roll. Thin Lizzy was the best... whenever we figure out time travel sign me up for the ship heading back to the 70's...

[MrTinlizzy]

last year, i decided on the best holiday ever, i took live and dangerous and solo in soho and drove around the highlands of scotland with em blasting out,, tell you it was magic,, love you philo

[mesaeddie]

Phil is still my favorite song writer and singer , he is sorely missed .

[MrPAULIO11270]

my mate knew phill, used to stay at his mums hotel down manchester, used my mates rickenbacker at the free traid hall in manchester, someone had pinched his, my mate as the guitar still on top of his wardrobe.TRUE.

[lrewopf]

I can't take it.Phil was one of the best writers in music let alone Rock.And those sweet harmony guitar leads.You can have the boring shreeders on guitar.This gives me chills.Thank the Lord I was brought up when music was good!

[nottoberemembered]

One of my best friends mam got to see Thin Lizzy, she had no idea who they were and didnt enjoy the gig at all. My friend has never been able to forgive her for that!!!

[jakeylou]

Never mind!!!

[jimmyprice55]

slaaag

[jakeylou]

Aer Lingus!! Class

[MrsDreamer1965]

Rena dansbandsmusiken!

[billythehoople]

am no kidn, ths is how u rock a crowd, interaction, Phil was a man, naw a GOD, of the ppl, all fukn natural man, ROCK ON PHIL !!!

[purtatorhoriaaa]

YOU'RE RIGHT!!!

[thinsnake]

Have this live on a 12" single....showing my age. Lizzy fans don't grow old and legends live forever!!! The reason god created a stage :-)))))

[THINLIZZYFANno1]

haha im only 16 but my da also has this as he was at this gig. i envy him and anyone else who ever got to see Phil and Lizzy :( if only i was old enogh

[schlappralf]

nothing is better

[supersonicextreme750]

I'm so glad for being introduced to Thin Lizzy. I was never a fan of this 'new age' crap, infact the majority if not all of these so could talents consist of no real substance. Its hearing a tune of this magnitude that you begin to really understand the meaning of true musicianship.

[supersonicextreme750]

Thin Lizzy were without a doubt 'accomplished musicians' overflowing like a waterfall of crystallised talent. I will never stop listening, infact I'm dancing in the moonlight as the sun goes down doing anything I want 2 coz I'm a rocker.

[star2heart]

Best song in the whole world love it love it aaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[pollok62]

Witnessed all the big rock and metal bands at Glasgow apollo 78-85.Lizzy were the best,seen them 3 times,great memories,R. I. P. Phill.

[humphumpnana]

KISS wanted to be extreme.. Even though theyre labelled ridiculous they made some damn complicated, proffesional music. But they said from the start it was to be more of a show, instead of just the music. There for the make up n stuff. Even though they turned into sell outs, I must say they made some very good songs. Especially the guitar stuff, its catchy, but still skilled. But I 2 dislike m. They were musical/theater stuff. f'ed up the fun for serious bands. Thin Lizzy is a legend on its own.

[sandillajoan]

I've been a big fan of Thin Lizzy, Phil Lynott, Gary Moore, Rory Gallagher for longer than I'd like to say. I miss Phil and Rory so much; but listen to their music all the time. I just started listening to Eli "Paperboy" Reed. I'd never heard of him 'til recently. But KISS...I never istened to them. I don't know, maybe I'm being closed minded and missing out on something, but I found some of the band members so repulsive, I just literally tuned them out.........any comments?

[kengerin1974]

Man, Phil was slick with his lyrics. Probably the best rhymer in rock history.

[tammerlane25]

hell yeah!!!

[natashakimrochey]

great song.. classic

[lesburst]

Ive seen Lizzy live, also Ive seen, Rory Gallagher, BB King, Motorhead, Hawkwind, Albert Collins, Wishbone Ash, AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Girlschool, Gary Moore, Deep Purple, and they were all fantastic, (although Black Sabbath just started to annoy me after a while)

[tb1519]

I saw Thin Lizzy and AC-DC play together at Comiskey Park, great show.

I saw Zeppelin on their first American your in 1969 and they were sleep inducing; Vanilla Fudge blew them right out of Cook County that night. Jethro Tull smoked them both. Interesting show.

The Ramones live, especially when they broke in 1977, had a power and drive and crunch that was amazing. They were like Mountain on amphetamines, something amazing to see and hear.

My kids liked Kiss but I didn't.

[blacksabfan]

Yeah, I've been forunate enough to see AC/DC and I also saw Robert Plant opening for The Who back in '02.

I missed a lot of good bands, simply because of my youth...but it's always interesting to hear impressions from others who saw them...good and bad. Thanks for sharing that with me and everyone else.

[1986Lynott]

@tb1519 so what ?? wtf was that all about haha

[panastraxan]

hey blacksabfan, how come i end up to your collection whenever searching for some favourite music?? :-D Thanks buddy, highly appreciated!

Phil's immortal soul may inspire more and more people

[blacksabfan]

That's funny my collection should come up...it only consists of two bands. Unless you count all the spinoffs Lynott did and his solo stuff.

I've always thought about posting other stuff. I have a lot of UFO and some other bands as well, but I wanted to keep it limited and focused. Thanks for the compliments.

[dxvolt]

The Ramones sucked ass. Best bands off the seventies are KISS, Led Zeppelin, Thin Lizzy and Ac/Dc

[nanoometaleiro]

Thin Lizzy ! 5/5 !

[tb1519]

Looking back I think the best bands of the 1970s were Thin Lizzy and The Ramones. And the best drummers Brian and Tommy.

Seriously.

[blacksabfan]

Love the Ramones too. Their songs are fun to play on guitar...and very easy too.

[soeffingwhat]

Was this Recorded in the RDS Simmonscourt?

[blacksabfan]

I believe so.

[tb1519]

Jesus, Downey was a goddam machine, rock steady.

[liamnag01]

Yes he was and is, he will probably be recognized when he has passed unfortunately.

Listen to Me and the Boys on the "Still Dangerous" album and you will appreciate what a rock solid drummer should be.

Absolutely Phenomenal.

[snuwe]

that is phil lynott solo, not thin lizzy.

[blacksabfan]

Yes, the original studio track is from Lynott's solo album (although all the members from Lizzy played on it...it's basically a Lizzy track that didn't appear on a Lizzy album). In any case, that's not what I posted. I make it all very clear in the description. Sometimes it's nice to read those...

[liverpoolfcanfield1]

deadly song!!!!!!!!!!

[randysexkitten]

I love Thin Lizzy, bought up listening 2 them, n now i have a bigger collection than my dad!!! Jus wish i woz born earlier so i could of seen them play :(

[burrie3]

This was released as a double A side in 1981/82 with a live version of Bad Reputation - best version of that song and I saw them live 10 times.

Lynott was a legend

[chetalk]

great sound quality!...and song!

[supersonicextreme750]

This is sheer undeniable proof that the fabricated music produced today is utter bull shit,there is no 'real' talent or bands we'd regard as accomplished musicians. Thank the lord for the greatest band to ever graze the earth, THIN LIZZY. The Years shall pass but the music shall remain timeless.

I only whish I could have thiss band in thier prime, unfortunatly I was born in fucking 1988.

ROCK ON PHIL, we miss you!

[chetalk]

you are not alone

[sbyrne1]

You aren't alone x 2

[Jethrofinger]

@supersonicextreme750

I hear you. I was born in 1991 and today's music is shit. Greatest band ever? Personally, I think that belongs to the Beatles but Thin Lizzy are one of my all time favorite bands. They make the top 12, probably would've been in the top 10 if I had gotten into them earlier. Still, I hold Lizzy near and dear to my heart. Hell, I got all of their studio albums and the two live albums. As a bassist, I look up to Phil. He, Entwistle, and Roger Waters= bass gods!

[keenanX1]

@Jethrofinger I'm with you on the Lynott influence. Learning his songs especially the 1st three LPs taught me so much about melodic structures. Then his latter style of being rock solid, not in so much of a supportive role but displaying the bass as a commanding rhythmatic force. A great influence indeed! Now Entwistle...he taught me how to be a melodic monster...two completly different animals all together.

[theresonly1utd]

i was at that gig

another majic night in the rds

thanks blacksabfan for your efforts at keeping lizzy alive

[THINLIZZYFANno1]

hahahaha my dad was at this!!!!! he has a vinyl of this gig cos he was at it. sorry but the vinyl sounds so much better. i wish i cudda been at it but i was born about 13 years too late :(

[blacksabfan]

Is it a vinyl of the whole gig, or just Killers Live EP? A few of these tracks actually were put onto an official release.

[thinsnake]

I have this live version on the Kings Call 12 inch single. The other song on the B side is Yellow Pearl. Thank you so much for all the brilliant Lizzy songs you post. Still Out Here xxx

[barryriding]

i believe blacksabfan is in the new years honours list, for services to fans of decent music, that stands the test of time. in other news simon cowell is sent to baghdad, where the US army blast out that warbling cretin, leona 24 hours a day.the war on bland begins now!. ta for your comment unlikeanyotherhuman

[christopherbunce]

Blacksabfan, thanks so much for all you posts, magic stuff, dunno how you got hold of all this stuff, but us lizzy fans are so grateful,

[asasad87]

i cry when i listen this song

RIP PHIL !!!!

[Locateson]

Well said, well said. Cheers! You shall raise your glasses for a great warrior of music and his brave comrades.

[Locateson]

RIP Phil Lynott.. May you rest in peace. Your legacy will live on forever. Thanks for all the great tunes.

[ybwetdiver]

Phil is one of a kind, the best !!

[MODELER59]

RIP Phil...your always in our Lonely Hearts

[GeneralGaz]

I am so greatful that in my life time I can be there in time to listen to this great song!

[barryriding]

what happened to music like this?!. phil could be really nasty and rocking, like emerald. then he would write beautiful songs like this.a true poet. what a shame he died so young. all we are left with now, in rock music are corporate, genenric, arse licking tossers.gone are the days of great music and great personalities. faceless, bland cretins are ruining music. sums up society. RIP Phil to you, your music, and a generation. if anybody hasn't seen them, check limehouse lizzy out. there brill

[lizzylives]

phil lynott irelands real son great song

[VinBad007]

Can Phil work and OWN a crowd or what!?  Fantastic stuff!

[jagodacrv]

Thank you for posting this! What a great live version!

[RavenMadd9]

Their on the the solo in soho version

[brilliantone909]

havnt listened to this in a while. such a gr8 song

[81unnaed81abc]

that little speech in the middle is just great! :D

[bathrugby13]

RIP Phil!

[liamnag01]

At the time '79 Ireland was very much ruled by the Catholic Church and the Boomtown Rats were

reviled by the authorities. Geldof complained to Phil that there was no place to play in Dublin, hence the nod to Geldof but Philo sorted out straight away.

[SuperCoqueluche]

What is he saying to bob? I can't understand

[mtgooner]

Oh Man this is some real Phil Lynnott vibin' w/ the audience
