[EiRESKuLL]

Keyboards should be illegal

[Darathath]

Jim'll FIX IT!

[Libressman]

Well, you have to be one hell of a band to make your songs sound better live than the album, Thin Lizzy was one of them. This nothing but phenomenal. Pardon my english im swedish :P

[sdmestayer]

@Libressman Great song, but only Phil is live, the rest of the band are playing along to the lead vocals deleted track. The keyboard part during the break is live too.

[Libressman]

@sdmestayer Anyway. Still sounds amazing ;)

[docwatsons]

well they blow queen etc out of the water etc................. just a pity

[jmoney31705]

@docwatsons brian may and freddy mercury told phil and the boys to tone it down a bit when toured together, they were making them look bad

[cuico2008]

@jmoney31705: Too funny, and I agree, what the f*** U2 is? LMAO

[jmoney31705]

@cuico2008 hell yeah!!!

[Amber3London]

beautiful

[peterknicked]

This one is the best video of all time. Seniorcitizen that rock! Love it!!

[jmoney31705]

dudes U2 have nothing in common with thin lizzy except the country of origin, they dont even play the same genre, thin lizzy is hard rock, and who knows what the fuck U2 is?

[07kitara]

j adore

[notanfningain]

Was this Jim'll fix it. The old girl is totally unphased, brilliant; thank God for Thin Lizzy, the Irish, Rock Music and You Tube for showing these kind of Videos. " I actually wrote the first line as a joke, then OMG it was Jim'll fix it. Jimmy will be rockin in heaven with Phil and Gary. God bless em all.

[Carismystic]

Just goes to show that you are never too old to Rock N' Roll.

[charlesskf]

they played with judas priest last weekend, i came late and missed them, but without, i figured i wasnt missing much

[dewycatt2112]

U2 was ok when their first albulm came out.Had some real good songs.Now they are a stupid shitty band that plays all that dumb funky yuppie shit". Anyway, thats my opinion! I really dont care! I grew up on Alice Cooper and sabbath and 80's hard rock and Metal! long Live Lizzy!

[reyeror]

She would had to be my grandma!!!!!!

[jaro6832]

Classic Lizzy song.....and doesn't she look like Miss Merton.....remember her? LOL!!!

[MrLordBucket]

I watch this video sometimes to brighten up my day.

[slayerf010]

grandma?

[69Nitelife]

Thin Lizzy on the Jim'll Fix it show !! R.I.P. Jimmy Savile, what a legend !!

[theorillian]

simply amazing

[phillintheuk1]

Great Post thx....saw Lizzy 4 times....they were superb live.

[jeanesingsjazz]

this just goes to show you...good music knows no age barrier!

[thediamonddoggie]

Brilliant!!

[roddanrocks]

What a great gesture to invite this old woman. The Lizzy boys know to have fun!

[winje]

So so so so great!THIN LIZZY!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dooombringerrr]

Man, Brian Downey is talented! Everything he plays is perfect. He's the backbone of the greatest rock band of all times.

Peerless drummer.

[daveeeeee11]

and the boys broke up a year or two after this

poor old lady would have been shattered

love her little solo!

[TheSteelers5892]

this is so cool

[MrValexkid57]

excellent! Big respect to Thin Lizzy and this granny!

[HeavyMetalBabe66]

Thin Lizzy best rock band ever! And for the granny she rocks too :-D

[LoliLoli83]

Get down granny!

[MrPorsche91730]

1 person has no heart, and has no taste in music

[AlHaqDeen]

Quality! God bless Phil and May Booker!! How cool were Lizzy to be up for this!!

[paulsheehy653]

Amazing stuff altogether!

[vivalamelody]

GO GRANNY!

[Tommyr]

Live lead vocals to the record with someone's grandma and added keyboards! WTF?!

[GlasgowKiss101]

I bet big Phil but a little Irish in her...

[TheMichaelseymour]

I WISH THAT WAS MY NAN .

[ledzep0620]

I was fortunate enough to catch Lizzy on a twinbill with Nazareth in 1978 and then catch them again in 1979 on a twinbill with Journey. I haven't found too many people that were lucky enough to see them live once, much less twice. They didn't tour the States that often. These guys were an awesome live band. Lots of stage presence and Phil had ultimate command of the show.

[IanSchultz92]

Why wasnt this on the Lizzys greatest hits DVD? Should of put ALL music vids on there IMO.

[thedoctormachine1]

UP THE GRANDMA!!!!!!!!!!!!



[MrVeesworld]

OMG this is too fricking cool. I used to love hearing his song back in high school in the 10 grade. I forgot this gem of a THIN LIZZY TUNE.

[Srpopo2000]

1:43 granny FTW!!!

[SamHermanis]

The Emotion, feel and Charisma is mind blowing! I wish I had the chance to see Thin Lizzy Live with Lynott Fronting. shame i'm 22 :( This music will never be forgotten :)

[AceOfHeart2012]

That was very cool.

[pokerboss]

You go, May!!!

[bluzharplady]

I wish Granny May were my granny. She knows what's good.

[TheHurdo]

I remember this from my youth - 'Jim'll Fix It'. Most important person in Phils life was his Mother so I'm sure he was very polite. Someone said May's husband objected to this? I can't see why.

[beelzabubba]

May Booker's husband disliked this video

[ofdoubtsandgod]

Man - I'm almost in tears watching the end of this!...

[bluzharplady]

@ofdoubtsandgod me too...and how.

[dthomd]

phil lynott was well nice to that granny, you can tell he was a very decent bloke.

[semc195]

brilliant! you would never see those homos from u2 having an old granny play the keys with them!

[jzmassive]

@semc195 lol'd hard



[frankdis]

@semc195 Wait-I thought Bono was the granny?

[69zenos]

[doctorpoosniff]

[MasterThunder2252]

@doctorpoosniff

Oh, how nice that you care.

[ShoeiBoy]

This is my new fave Youtube vid of all time. Bless her!

[CastAirLead]

[diamondcarnivore]

[951Alpha]

[AceTracer]

@951Alpha In 1982, a 70-year-old English granny named May Booker wrote a letter to the BBC about her favorite band, and how nice it would be to play with them. Then this happened.

[jhs5150]

@AceTracer That's about the coolest thing I ever heard. I was wondering who she was.

[cleanerfloors]

My favorite Lizzy song...thanks!
