Thin Lizzy - Got to Give It Up (Live)

[guniter1]

Any and all of you "haters" need to effin chill! That being "said" Thin Lizzy should be hailed as not only "Rock" icons, but music icons because they will always be the one and only! Hear,Hear1

[Hiltimannen]

NO Give a CHANSH too BELIVE THE TRO GOD

[kittenmouse23]

Love the song 

[TheMichaelseymour]

I'm sure i have this on an EP ..along with dear miss lonely hearts ...plus 2 other tracks -

Anyone ? ....phil has an upturned denim jacket on the cover . ????? {ps: i'm from oz}

[2112cupcake]

2 people suck!!

[MrPorsche91730]

@2112cupcake no man 2 people swallow

[Vibrato747]

Shredding ala Gary Morre wasn't Snowy's style; but Scott makes up for it at the very end with a highly dramatic cadenza. The man is the most soulful player I can even think of. If you listen to his solos at half speed, you'll hear all kinds of crazy timing devices-- syncopation, etc.-- to where he almost swings like a jazz player. It is so unorthodox I often wonder if they aren't, in fact, mistakes.

[BADMONKEYNOBANANA1]

i was fortunate to meet Phil outside the glasgow appollo in 77, what a true gent...we talked for 2mins and then he bought me fish and chips, he was and still is my musical influence.....RIP Phil

[MrPorsche91730]

@BADMONKEYNOBANANA1 he sounds like a gent, i could talk to you for an hour and i wouldent give you jack j/k. what loss :(

[BADMONKEYNOBANANA1]

@MrPorsche91730 yoe sound like a right tosser mate......maybe i picked up your reply incorrectly but nay....looked at some of your other comments....nope....your a twat

[MrPorsche91730]

@MrPorsche91730 you definetly did lol, i was emphsizing what a great person Phil sounds like. but your not to quick on the uptake are ya?. you know what j/k means right? and id rather be a twat then a retard. I correct people who think they know everything, now im not saying i know everything, but when it comes to racing, i do know a little :)

[Jonnyw216]

does anyone have any footage off thin lizzy september 1980 at the kings hall belfast,?

[29memyselfandi]

Gary Moore the legend. Rest in peace.

[29memyselfandi]

Gary Moore the legend. Rest in peace.

[FMTCH]

Aparrently they were a draw for drug dealers wherever they played I dont Phil could cope with the availability of hard drugs such a shame I have great memories of seeing Lizzy play live

[MrJMontrose]

Snowy was so quiet both times I went to see the Chinatown tour in Sydney. He was way too quiet. A great muso but not a good fit with Lizzy.

[twowheelsgood28]

album version is much , much better

[ooshyguitar]

bravo brian downey

[ZYVZX]

Phil Lynott killed one of the best musicians in Rock, just like Jimi Hendrix did.

[grgoldner]

Whose the guy on far right...don't tell me Scott Gorham

[JamesParkour731]

@grgoldner Yep it's Scott with a fake mustache

[AkpostedUp]

One person apparently doesn't know how the like/dislike feature works.

[avashan]

Such a boigraphical song from the legend that is Phil Lynott....

[davida54]

this is originally a track from the 1979 LP Black Rose recorded in Paris, produced by Tony Visconti, with as mentioned the blazing guitar of Gary Moore.

Snowy, though a great blues player, isn't in Gary's league and would say the same himself.

[67european]

R I P PHILO.. MISS U MATE...

[rifferlou]

kool dude lov ths sng

[bebisaloga]

one of the best rock bands ever!!!Phill R.I.P.

[thecupdidit]

always get to this on my favs and think "nahhh too slow and boring" but im never able to click myself outta it. that tells you something :p x

[LarssaLarsson]

it almost sound like the version that they played in Rockpalatsin Germany

[gruenerApfel666]

@LarssaLarsson

no i dont hear keyboards on this version here..

i hate it when thin lizzy play older songs that doesent have a keyboard in the studio version and they play it live with it.

[TheZanipolo]

pity Philo didn't give it up....he might still be here

[eoswald203]

hahah, true - but what fun would that be?

[kamanda233]

awesome

[thezoneadmin]

Long live Phil

[61floyd61]

Phil Lynott was the ultimate rocker<3

[1980warpig]

Phil Lynott !!!!

[rattlehed]

This song is so close to the bone- its amazing that Lynott dabbled with material that was so telling about what was actually going on. Makes me really sad every time I hear it, but I LOVE this song so much. I love how upbeat and rock and roll this song is. Its full of emotion.

[reditch]

what a great song and a terrible loss!!!!

getting old sucks kids, rock till you can!!!!!!!

if there is life after I'll see you all at a Thin Lizzy concert!!!!

[tewhere1]

@reditch YES SIR!!!! see ya there front and centre woohoo!!!!!

[jopomeni]

I`ll be there ;)

[MrFriendlyRanger]

This is an amazing version of the song! I never really liked Snowy - but sometimes he kept up the job quite good! :)

Versions with Moore?? Yes please???!!

Philo - MY king of rock. Now and always..

[dladeburg]

What a amazing band! And the deal with Thin Lizzy is we might have never ever heard of them in the states if they hadn't wrote boys are back in town. No one knew who they were or ever heard them until that song surfaced over here!

[F1tsy]

What a shame :)

Since they have so many more awesome songs then just that one wich im pretty tired of ^^

[Iamanfield]

Ynwa, philo.... ol son, we miss you, you mean more than , stupid , sweet , fuck all normlcy??:) poet give a chance

[songoftherushes]

.......man, they were good!!.....sorry, but i am just getting into lizzy..... and i bump into stuff like like this!!! ....

[CrazyBear65]

All I can say is we lost a hell of a good musician there, goddam shame...

We miss you Phil!

[backthisway]

shame there isnt a recording of Lizzy live playing this with Gary Moore for the outro solo - this is Snowy White.

[blacksabfan]

Of course there are recordings of Gary Moore playing this live...there's several from the '79 tour. I assumed someone would have posted one by now, but I guess I can.

[djsnuffone]

@blacksabfan did u upload one brother? wanna hear that!

[Sabrem68]

Whouaaaouuu

Putain, c'que c'est bon de retrouver ce morceau en live ! que du bonheur ^^

[51794moses]

You can't beat a preformance like that, I don't care what anybody says. even if you can't see them play.

God bless Phil's soul 1949-1986

[YouWontChangeMe]

i cant think of people that dont like THIN LIZZY

it's just that some like them more than others hehe..in my opinion their worst album was 'shades of a blue orphanage' and then i guess 'nightlife' but only cause of the bad production..its pretty amazing their sound was always better live than studio albums...if only Phil didnt die on us..he could reform thin lizzy and continue their awesome musical journey and blow our minds :D..bands like THIN LIZZY - MOTORHEAD - BLACK SABBATH change the world

[flippyflyer]

who cares what anyone "looks" like..listen to how tight and clean these f**kers are live...RIP Phil..Gary Moore rips in Black Rose...one of the best if not the best Lizzy Album in my opinion...

[hendrix01249]

really ace version of this song thanx for puttin it on BLACKSABFAN scot looks like carlos santana in that tash hehe..

[thinsnake]

Thank you for your inspiration and your magic. Seen too many bands .....never seen anything like Lizzy in The Glasgow Appollo. The Whole Place Was Bouncing.  If I could go back in time.......

[denton908]

I love Scott's GINORMOUS moustache in this picture. Then there is Gary trying to be the fucking pretty boy of the band... he really pisses me off, because it is so obvious he was trying to be the pretty boy, but hes an ugly SOB compared to Phil and Scott, who are two very hansome men.

[Dean666machine]

what a pathetic comment!

[denton908]

Hahahahah, I'm only joking around, as if you took me seriously. The point I made about Gary is something I find funny, but I love him, he was responsible for Waiting for an Alibi, and Black Rose! For a time he was my favourite guitarist out of the band purely for his tenchical skill.

[denton908]

Plus if you love and listen to Lizzy as much as I do... there are little things about them that you notice a lot and either start to love or hate. You can't like everything about all of the members of the greatest band in the world can you?

[blacksabfan]

Nope. I certainly don't like every song Thin Lizzy ever made, and I wouldn't expect anyone else to either. I think "Chinatown" isn't that great of an album, and I've never been a huge fan of the Eric Bell stuff (although it has grown on me over time).

And while I think Snowy is a hell of a player, he totally wasn't the right fit for Lizzy. So that's just a few things.

[denton908]

Chinatown isn't that great, but 'We Will Be Strong' is an amazing song... I really do love it.

[blacksabfan]

That is a good song on a mediocre album. I agree with that 100%.

I said this someplace else, but I surprised a couple people when I said my least favorite song on Chinatown was the title track. I just never liked that one for whatever reason.

[denton908]

I remember reading that on one of your uploads. Someone said that 'Genocide' was bad, and you said it was great but 'Chinatown' wasn't. I personally like 'Chinatown' a bit. Just the attitude of the song, and the main guitar riff.

[blacksabfan]

Yeah I'm a huge fan of Genocide. I play it on guitar and I love playing it. It's just fun to play. Chinatown I've played and it's just sort of tedious. I don't know if that attitude was already there from hearing it a lot, but the only advantage with Chinatown is that you can really change up the solo a bit in it, while Genocide...doesn't really have a solo.

[wegreenall]

ok now you're just talking rubbish, it's amazing ;) x

[Goddafodda]

Yeah, you surprised me :P

[gruenerApfel666]

@blacksabfan

yea thats true, im a huge thin lizzy fan .. but i dont like the title track too ..

think the best songs on chinatown are we will ne strong and sweetheart

[scoobes11]

Yeah, Brian wasn't ugly.

[wegreenall]

he was DAMN ugly

[ZippyZoppy]

I angers me that Phil is gone. I hate to see talent wasted. I hate to see God's gifts wasted. Ultimately, however, I am angry because I so miss the man.

[conorcarey]

I agree with the comments talking about the inspiration this song is to addicts but I get more inspiration from Fighting My Way Back "Rough,Tough,Ready and Able to Pick Myself Up From Under This Table" RIP Philo Legend Genius and Tragic Loss.

[SatanicalEve]

This song is depressing but in a way that makes any who has an addiction realize just how strong of a message this song has. Phil Lynott knew early on he had a problem and the only way to get it out was through his lyrics. He was a prophetic lyricist and this song is amazing. Makes me realize just how amazing of a person he was. RIP Phil you have helped me to get through my drug addiction and to become normal again!

[mexdale]

blacksabfan you have it right!Great picture !

Ya can't educate them all .Keep on Rocking BSF

Your vids are great Thanks

[thinlizzynut]

i love this song in some ways i think its a confession of guilt by phil cos things started to go down hill when this song was wrightten

rest in peace phil

eire will never forget you

[belgianassrule]

omg ... this song ... takes me way back in time, did all the nasty stuff i wasn't supposed to do as well ... this song helped me 15 years after the date shown ... to bad it didn't helped him ...

Blacksabfan ... thx

[benfromvegas]

Awesome..Thanks for posting. Tho you died too young....Thank you for living Phil.

[seriadobr]

Good idea blacksabfan. Thin Lizzy always is good to hear. If you have some more please put it on!

[F1tsy]

Yeah great song... but what´s the freaking point in uploading a version with no visual media to it when there is? Pointless, check the internet first.

No credit for idiots.

[blacksabfan]

So people can conveniently hear it. That's the point...not that I should have to say it, because anyone with half a brain should of already figured that out. If it bothers you so much that's there's nothing "visual" (although pictures are "visual"; you really mean animated), then stop watching and bitching and find it somewhere else to download. Lots of people probably didn't know this existed, but now they they've seen it here, they know it does and they can download it elsewhere.

[F1tsy]

Granted, you put up one of the great songs from the best band there was so i shouldnt complain. Sorry

[sainttopcat]

idiot.

[stardust1990]

great song

[CannTankerous]

Wow. Lots of memories. Thanks, man.

[macket]

I guess anyone with an addict can relate to these lyrics(like me)

I play this song often to strenghten my self when im not doing so well.

Thanks Phil, always rememberd

[Mrshands2be]

Yopu need a medal. Thanks mate..

[Mrshands2be]

That was to Macket...

[SeChabal]

Wow great recording, better then the one on Life Live.

[thinlizzylive]

Anything would be better that Life. Its such a bad mix - but you can blame Phil's drugs for that.

[SeChabal]

I like Life though despite the terrible sound there is some great recordings on it

[sixstringsforever]

Gary Moore was on local TV documentary recently and has said he and other band members quizzed Phil about his addicition,but his personality was such that he cast it aside as no big deal.

Unfortunately,it took him to an early grave.

Incidentally,Phil's mother is a fierce critic of drug liberalization and the Governments soft approach towards it in Ireland and wider afield.

[SatanicalEve]

You are correct. It was just so sad. Late 1985 Phil decided it was time for him to clean up his act, get sober, Get the band back together. Ironically by getting sober he dies. This song is so prophetic as well as Heart Attack on Thunder & Lightning. RIP Phil. You have touched many a soul!

[blacksabfan]

Late 1985 is a really unclear period when it comes to what Lynott was actually doing. Even Putterford's book "The Rocker" doesn't do a good job. Laurence Archer is saying how he got Phil to quit for three months (I think it was him anyway) and others say he was hard at it until he died. Moore mentions sometimes how he had a desire to quit, and how other times it was "in one ear, out the other". He did want the band back together, but I don't know was his intentions were toward his lifestyle.

[SatanicalEve]

True true. Its I hear alot about him wanting to quit and doing so but then others saying he was still using. I mean his last TV interview he looks a bit bloated and his voice is sore and horse. It could be just from all the years of abuse. I mean I can attest personally that drug abuse especially Heroin can take a toll on you. It nearly cost me my life. With the help of the people around me and that of Phil Lynott and the music he made I pulled through and now am Sober :)!

[liberatedcitizens]

Phil was well and truly still at it up until he collapsed. The last 2 years he was never really clean. It's been well documented in many interviews that he was a mess for most of 84 & 85 and was suffering severe depression as well as his drug habit. He took something the night before at a Xmas party.

By the way - this is possibly THE greatest rock song that Lizzy had that wasn't a single. That guitar solo here and on the studio version is a killer.

[jimilove5]

right on me too..........cheers, jimi

[sixstringsforever]

Scott Gorham and Snowy White on top form-my two favourite guitarists playing on one of my favorite lizzy songs.

Have never heard John and Scott play this cracker live in concert which is a real shame.

[clucas41601]

The first guitar solo is undoubtedly an on-form Scott Gorham, a much underrated guitarist and recorded before his much publicised rock star excesses. The album 'Black Rose' from which the track is taken featured Gary Moore who left Thin Lizzy soon after the following tour to be replaced by Snowy White. That there is any doubt about the guitarist resposible for the second solo is that it sounds like a very off-form Gary Moore who on form is and remains now one of the greatest rock guitarists ever

[Philmacrakken]

listen to you guys go....so many intelligent well thought out comments in a row...I'm not being a wiseass i mean it its nice to see....now can somebody call somebody else a douchebag so i remember that I'm on youtube and all will be right with the world.

[littlefirestarter]

This is a wonderful song from the best band ever. Phil lynott was a brilliant man.

[killjojo]

Is that Snowy White on the Guitars?

[blacksabfan]

On one of them, yes.

[killjojo]

I didn't mean to make it plural, my fat fingers accidentally put into many letters :P

[LarssaLarsson]

i think this song describe Phils last time in life rip Phil

[Natureboywhooo]

dark song about ongoing strugle with drugs and addiction

[Malrsfour]

Wonderful.....right, quite right

[lynottfan4]

Actually it's write, quite right....

Regards...

[klextacy]

So great... Phil was just brilliant. One of my favorite Lizzy tunes.

[liamnag01]

Thank you for this and all others posted. I think Phil quipped at one stage "I mean it most sincerely folks" stealing of H.Greens lines.

[lynottfan4]

Awesome. Brians drums are great on this.

Best live version I've heard of this great song. Thank you for posting.

[BaboonBro]

Yeahhhhh!!!!!!!!

Another dark song.

Always tend to forget how good they were in '80.
