Thin Lizzy - Are you ready ? ( Sydney Opera House)

[2112cupcake]

Can you get this concert anywhere? Is it on DVD?

[shredmaster100]

gary moore was brilliant gets introduced for the first time and blows the crowds head off with his incredible playing and i dont think many people had heard of gary at this point but they sure as hell knew him after this performance legend

[GorillaBaps]

vxr8clubby: You have a great sense of humour  (.....not)

[Dietpepsivanilla]

Lizzy had some pretty damn good guitarists in Scott Gorham, Gary Moore, Brian Robertson and John Sykes.

[SanderBoelen]

It's not Brian on drums!! Mark Nauseef does a great job...

[zgolijan]

rip Phil.

[zgolijan]

Gary RIP.

[vxr8clubby]

i think the guitarist after gary moore was much better

[KTEELKTEEL]

@vxr8clubby

That's really very funny!

[andyeclips]

@vxr8clubby .......dont think you know what ur talking about.....Gary was always the best no question.

[matharj]

1 dislike...  HOW????

[TheCozybear65]

Gary's only twenty six here..He's a firecracker!!

[FMTCH]

Its 32 years to the day since i saw Lizzy at Bournemouth my first gig they opened with Are You Ready Unforgettable RIP Gary Phil

[madometal]

master shredder moore!

[saabist]

What a team! Saw Thin Lizzy in I think 1983 at Birmingham Odeon, standing room only, but I don't know if Mr Moore was with them or not. They were incredible. The world was a different place then and so was the music.

[plexiseagull]

At 3 minutes and 16 seconds, Phil's introduction of Gary begins, Gary answers by giving one of the most agressive-mindblowing outburst ever played on an electric guitar. RIP Gary my great hero of the guitar, your music is timeless.

[DKDonson]

@plexiseagull Totally agree

[ellensboy4]

God bless Phil & Gary back together making music on the BIG stage!

Rock In Peace guys..

[notrut]

Come on - own up if you're the numb-brain who clicked dis-like by mistake?

[abendmahl]

R.I.P. Gary

[unsterblich]

First Phil, now Gary... Their music will never die.

[KeyOfStrife]

Why, Gary, WHY! :(

[wrestlingcircuit1995]

Walked out on Lizzy? From what I heard in interviews Lynott and Moore were always at each other's throats, even back in Skid Row, and they couldn't always stay in that close of quarters for too long. They were similar to the relationship of Phil Mogg and Michael Schenker of UFO. They both created magic together, but they would constantly be at odds.

[thespunktrain]

gary moore was a fucking wanker who walked out on lizzy 3 times and has now turned into one of the biggest cocks in rock music. anyone who disagress needs to wise the fuck up....

[nostalgia43]

@thespunktrain What's the story on Gary Moore.? A hell of a guitar player, I thought.

[steb123789]

@thespunktrain i disagree. bellend

[brenfoley]

Brilliant...Live and Dangerous one of the best live albums ever - Phil...a fucking dublin legend

[PokerPekka]

Gary Moore is the best!!! Wow =)

[wrestlingcircuit1995]

Saw Gary fill in for Robertson at a Lizzy concert in Chicago in '79. The bands on the card were Lizzy, Pat Travers, and Foghat (yes, Foghat was the headliner). Pat Travers and Thin Lizzy blew Foghat away. In 1979 though, Moore was still relatively unknown in the states.

[DonsonDK]

Man, these guys ,,,,,,,,fantastic musicians

[danielflasher95]

OMG....such an incredible concert by these guys...wish i was there...

[Grumberf]

@AussiePride991 I a Tv show live 1985 he tells everone about how he ended out palying a Righthadned guitar when he was left handed about how easy the solos was

[EnglishTalkRight]

this is the origins of thrash

[NNICKKK]

Gary's solo makes me laugh everytime i watch this- its just so ridiculously over the top, it just goes to show there's alot to be said for absolute sheer arrogance and a 'look at me i fucking rule' appraoch in a rock band lol. just perfect.

[rallyivan1234]

Gary Moore has what not to jump?

[NWOSHM]

AGHHH 1!! i was born to late !!!!!!!! the closets i get this era of Thin Lizzy is that i'm about to see Gary Moore to play Hard Rock for the first time in about 20 years in swedenrock festival ! for those who can listen to Thin Lizzy without Phil i think everyone should know that Brian Downey is back in the Thin Lizzy nowdays ! =) Thin Lizzy is the best band ever !

[garymoore1988]

gary moore fucking rocked this concert

great dvd concert

[Grumberf]

meaby the best leaft handed guitarist in the world? sorry jimi but i like GORHAM Much MORE !

[pinsAU]

Downey pulled out due to illness.

Mark Nauseef did the honours on this tour, great job too.

[clwilu94]

where was Brian Downey

[Grumberf]

He stayed home

[indeans48]

the sound quality isnt very good on this compared to coyboy song and boys are back in town from this concert

[jonthang71]

Hey poopzoid, what year was it please?

[zgolijan]

Garry Moore's solo is one of my favourite. Just shreds, really goes for it. What guitar is he playing? I love it.

[dimebag62]

i thonk , he was playing a gibson melody maker with a di marzio pickup on bridge

[richiem62]

@zgolijan he's playing the les paul that belonged to Peter green from fleetwood mac??

[wrestlingcircuit1995]

@richiem62 that's not the same Les Paul.

[HoosierLine]

I too wish they would remaster this as the audio is horrible sounding. I have this on VHS video and it was released by Rhino Records. Rhino on the sleeve said that this concert was improved and in hi quality but what was actually fixed?? I hate to see what the non-improved version look & sounded like??

[sooperkula]

I just wish they'd remaster this, and release the entire thing on CD, rather than just the Cowboy Song and the Boys Are Back In Town.

It would be awesome. :)

[SAVAGEGREENMACHINE]

@sooperkula they've got a dvd of this concert thats remastered, and i've heard recently that the rest of the band have been meeting up and jamming and listening to all the old raw unworked recordings, they are talking about remastering some tracks to allow phil's vocals to be heared more clearly.so there mught be more remastered albums still to come.

[wrestlingcircuit1995]

@sooperkula They can't remaster it, the master tapes sounded like shit originally. I have this on VHS tape from 1987, mail order from Australia. If they tried to clean it up, it would ruin it. They also tried to make money on it already by releasing this on CD back in the late 90's, and it sounded horrible.

[poopzoid111]

I was at this show too, and have pics to prove it. In fact, I have seen myself in one of the clips taking pics.. which is really weird to see 31 years later.

It was a legendary show and I think they were as in awe with Sydney on a sunday spring afternoon as we were with them.

THe crowd of 70,000 was Sydney's biggest outdoor concert at that point in town. John Enligsh and Sportz played too, and some band called Wha -Koo that I can't even remember.

It was truly mindblowing!

[CianByrne14]

I'm sorry, but the lady at 1:18 just ruined a kick ass solo.

[CianByrne14]

I wish I was there.. It was free admission.

[nicka7]

I was....it was fucking unreal..;p)

[CianByrne14]

Awesome!

[jcane28eatsfatpuss]

NOBODY, I mean NOBODY bends notes better than Scott Gorham.

[sexyduck69]

fuck yeah go the irish

[fukinblowme]

@sexyduck69 Flogging Molly opened up this show.

[johnmelina]

Best Live Band Ever

[DUDEplayer69]

Best Live band ever was The Who. Thin Lizzy is the best band ever in general.

[jcane28eatsfatpuss]

The Who could never play like this....I mean like never.

[RedDragon52]

i think guns n roses is the best live band because those shows on the usi tour were surreal, beside the whole.. axl problem, they put on the best show, but it is pretty pointless arguing which band is "better live" cuz its all just personality, but this fucking show was so nice, which i could have been around.

[SoldierofFortune07]

true

[ebbodawg]

awsome!

i LOVE THE lIZZY

[DeluxeReissue]

I know someone who this was their first gig - they were only 8 and they can still remember it clearly. I'm so jealous, but I was even younger at the time. Dang. I really wish they'd remaster this dvd. The sound sucks for half of it (particularly Bad Reputation & Jailbreak) and even when it does improve it's not that great. It's such a great concert.

[GibsonKLO]

Personally I think that this is the best lineup.

[lindback]

awesome lineup but, I fuckin love Brian Robertson

[HedyShepard]

Too bad the camera was all over the place on Moore's solo, because that was some sick sh*t!!!

[vindicator14]

Gorham and Moore! What a effin combo! Not to mention the man, myth, and legend Phil.  Love this stuff!

[fukinblowme]

Blows me away everytime....Just awesome.

[bikerpit2005]

Was soll man noch groß darüber sagen. Einfach genial. Leider vorbei!!

[camposi]

One of the greatest bands ever!!!!!!!!!

[thinufo]

Nauseef

[GaryMooreRulz234]

Anybody know the drummer? hes shit hot

[DUDEplayer69]

his name was Mark Narseef (sp?) he filled in for Brain Downey who dropped out of the tour for a short while because of some family issues i believe.

[victimsofthefuture]

If you want to hear some great stuff with the drummer (Mark Nauseef), check out Ian Gillan - Live At Budokan from 1978 I believe. It's more jazzy, but the drumming is just as amazing.

[jcane28eatsfatpuss]

Is that Ian Gillan show you mentioned out on dvd ?

[victimsofthefuture]

I don't think so, it's even rare on CD. But you can find it on Amazon. It may be around $15 though for a used CD.

[SabuPtolemy]

Mark Nauseef was brought in by Gary. Mark was the drummer in Gary's solo band G-Force at the time.

[L485]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh

noooooooooooooo....

1. Sydney was in october 1978

2. Gary founded G-Force

in autumn 1979

3. G-Force wasn`a a solo-band, but a regular-one.

[DonsonDK]

Oh man, the best coalition of musicians, extreme. It was a great time for rock.

[Ebaun123]

I was there, my friends Pip and Mark at centre front 2.01. Leather pants, long hair and great guitar - the essence of 70's rock!

[808D3]

I was there too, stumbling about somewhere.

[Scribbler68]

It was Mark Nauseef on drums - stepped in temporarily to cover for Brian.

[theblacksabbathday]

thin lizzy is totally awesome!

this stuff is in - fucking - credible!!!!

[rockeee]

Fucking brilliant

[mutguts]

geeze im exhausted just watching em..hard working hard rocking..sadly misssing these days

[GibsonLesPaul9999]

This song is a bootleg, but it is never become to the stores. It is used by intro of a concert if you know what i mean.

[ClioRS]

Gary Moore for life!

[guitarmanLTD]

phil is the best bass player of all time

[lumberjack2112]

are there any studio versions of this song?

[lumberjack2112]

did phil say brian downey? i couldn't understand him. it didn't sound like it, but i could just have bad hearing.

[Scribbler68]

No, it was Mark Nauseef on drums.

[GibsonSG9999]

Gary Moore is a living Guitar God!

[fenderstratgirl]

marks pretty good at the drums!!!!!ashame brian D. couldnt finish the tour!!

[dunfoRe]

gary moore is a fuckin LEGEND

[fukinblowme]

Baddest band that's ever been on this here planet Earth.....Or any other planet for that matter.
