I thought it was a good idea listening to Thin Lizzy before starting homeworks... well, it's even more difficult to stop as a I thought. it's too great to be real to see Thin Lizzy and Judas Priest at one concert!
This album came out in 1976 and was Thin Lizzy's claim to fame in the America's. I remember it hitting the air waves. Seen them with Queen in Toronto shortly there after. One of the greatest rock bands. Pure classic!!
@1976Stratomaster It was. My buddy Bob and I drove from St.Catharines, Ont to Toronto in his 240Z and watched them both in the old Maple Leaf Gardens. What a show. All we have is memories of all the concerts we attended. Back then it was cheap to see top bands. Going between Buffalo and Toronto are memories that will stay with me forever. Watching the orginal Genesis at Century Theater in Buffalo, NY (Selling England by the Pound) will be etched in my mind forever. Everyone was in awe!!
@unclemort1960 I always understood that the, 'Jailbreak', referred to in this song was someone who had just broken out of Jail. i.e. a noun rather than a verb. Tonight, there's going to be a Jailbreak(er), somewhere in this town. Tonight, there's going to be a Jailbreak(er), so don't you be around. At least, that's how I've always seen it. Oh well.
I can still remember the night i bought a rock the size of a golf ball, and i got so paranoid that night that i stashed the damn thing and never found it again (i think my cat ate it cause he was really paranoid that night too) man that pisses me off. Glad those days are over and am doing much better now that i am clean!
On January 4, has been 26 years since you went away, but you will always be among us Phil. The Thin Lizzy is still one of my favorites. This fantastic music is never lost.
Greatness is singing 'Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak, somewhere in this town' and not taking any notice of the fact that it occurs to everybody that the jailbreak might just be somewhere near the jail. Nobody else could have got away with that. What a great band.
could you imagine spending your entire life touring the whole fucking world their his fans? this was one dedicated band and is in one of my top tens and phil was the man behind it all. THANKS PHIL
I had the privilege of being in Dalymount Park in 1979 up at the front listening to this legend my ears didnt stop ringing for hours after it..gone but not forgotten
Yes it's live, but listen closer, there is piped in music. Not that they need it, but in that era they always did that type of thing for television purposes. Obvious proof: 2:53 when Phil says "round", he cuts the word short, you can here Phil's vocals from the album version carried out in the background. And at 2:40 you can see them waiting for the track, then they are slightly off time coming in with it. Music isn't piped in the whole time, just in spots that need to be fuller.
They are playing over a recording you idiots !!! You can plainly see at 2:00 that the drummer is clearly doing a roll that is not picked-up by the microphones...because there is a playback. Geez
Wonderful Guitar Tone. They play this in the movie detroit rock city when they have to break their friend out of catholic boarding school. Kick ass tune.
A black Irishman !!! So you can imagine the shit that Phil had to take growing up as a wee laddie, but no matter, as he had the last laugh though, he was the frontman in one of the best rock and roll groups of all time...Incidently anter881, go on, give yourself 5 ****'s a quality upload my friend...G...
