[beefoneeto]

I was at all three shows in '78 at the Palladium Lizzy and BOC.First nite there was abn accident and the show stayed late.They threw a comedian in and he wasn't too well received.Eric showed up towards the end of Lizzy's set and repeated a line from one of Lizzy's songs "Baby baby baby ..." LOL I remember it like it was yesterday.

I go way back Eric. I even have 2nd row home movies of BOC at the Palladium Sept 1978. Youguys and Thin Lizzy. Interesting stuff. Your bus broke down that night.

You saw Lizzy with BOC? Dude, you're my idol. Both bands kick ass that night or what?

[NYVoice]

Lizzy was rock solid; very consistent and crowd pleasing. The films I took are pretty cool, especially Phil looking right at me in the 2nd row. As for BOC, they were leaning towards a more commercial audience and whose set was hardly from 1975-76. But a smaller venue like the Palladium was good for their sound rather than an arena. That night, BOC used Lizzy;s gear because their bus broke down and they had to ditch it to get to the show.
