I CANT BELIVE THAT PRICK THAT SAID THE GUITARIST CANT KEEP IN TIME!! THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST SOLOS EVR,EXCUSE MY SPELLING IM DYSLEXIC, I HAVE AN EXCUSE THAT CUNT DOESNT!!! ERIC BELL RULES
i worked with Eric on the 20th vibefor philo whata gentleman! i was using a gitane Django reinhehart copy guitar. after the gig in Dublin, he asked if he could have a go and the Bugger can play Django stuff too! only guy to play with Jimi Hendrix's bass player and drummer UNDERATED? not by me!!!! what a great clip warts and all what an honour to play Whiskey in the jar with him at SLATTERYS on capel st
Thin lizzy are the best but this guitarist aint so good i dont think cos he cant play the slightest little bit in time even on the studio version he cant play in time that is bitchy but true
@royrichardsify you obviously know fuck all about music,eric bell is a damn legend!!!! you like brian cox,and technical shite like pentatonic tapping and "technique",fuck off and comment when you have some soul,you disgraceful cunt
This is real rock n' roll. Are we ever going to get a band as good as this again? Atleast the music still exists whenever we want to hear it. It's a shame so many will never see Phil and the boys live though.
Phil's Hammer Bass, Brian thrashes his drums, it's a pleasure to Eric's mega great guitar game speaks for itself and the middle section looks probably unparalleled in the history of rock music - whether live or the long studio version, "The Rocker" is one of the best Thin Lizzy songs ever! Rocking greetings from Germany.
@tiborzkarate That must be it, or maybe they just weren't used to showing much emotion in public? I don't know, but I also noticed that European audiences were very reserved for the Stax-Volt performers in the 1960's. The singers had to really work and, encourage the audience to do anything.
Eric Bell, a most underrated guitarist if ever there was one, and not a valve amp in sight, just a pair of HH 200 watt tranny amps, a homemade cab, a colorsound overdriver and a wah wah, he sounds better than most.
I've always said if Jimi Hendrix ever picked up a bass this is what is would sound like--he was way ahead, not many bassists could sing and play that good--no one has, or will, touch Phil.
That is an awesome performance, proving Lizzy we're so ahead of their time. Its a shame they had to wait until 1976 before becomming commercially succesfull, because the energy and talent was there long before 76, as this footage shows. God bless Phil Lynott !
I hope the director of this program got fired after this aired. It's like the guy said "I'm bored with shooting high energy rock n roll bands, so I'm going to show the audience, the cameramen, and just about anything else I can think of instead of just showing the band". This is why you should never trust TV directors.
Well, this is a studio audience, not a proper concert audience. It's the same today, when you watch TV programs with live music in them, the audiences always much more sedate than they would be at an actual concert.
@Kohntarkosz Yeah, I think you are right about that, generally..although at the shooting of "Smells like Teen Spirit" the director's instructions to the audience were to remain seated and look apathetic, or something like that..that's hardly how it turned out! Crowd diving and moshing came in a bit later than thisThin Lizzy period..
The camera angles were more focused on the ART logo, crane shots, and bored footage of audience members than of the band itself. I would have preferred a close-up of Eric's guitar solo instead of a view of the lighting rig...
what's the matter with that audience? if they only knew in 37 years how bad music would suck they'd be offering sacrifices to these gods of rock! i guess its no surprise why david hassellhof would be so popular there.
@NuclearHendrix Your right. But i think only UFO. If you notice in the background you see a UFO lighted sign back there. And if you look at one of the UFO videos you can see Klaus from the Scorps looking on. Axeflyer the one with the UFO upload can point it out. It's him.
What TV show is they're playing on? Was everything on this show like this, or did the director just not like Thin Lizzy or something? He's showing just about everything BUT the band. Lots of shots of mirrors, the audience (including a rather bored looking kid sitting on the floor), even the control room, with only the occasional shot of the band. Well, at least the band is actually playing live here.
I never got to see Thin Lizzy with Eric Bell, so I'll take whatever I can get. Wish the cameraman would have stayed on Eric during his solo, instead of the unappreciative morons in the crowd.
HAHA the crowd is in SHOCK! hahah...I saw the same crowd at an AC/DC concert with Bon Scott....who was a FANTASTIC front man.....they just SAT there. DUUUHHH
Thats what we liked back then - big drum solos long guitar solos and an earpiercing close up hell of a night ...without Eric Bell there wouldnt be Thin Lizzy.................
Lose yourself in expression sure,but a virtuoso must always be aware first of the song,then the audience.Self editing is vital.There is nothing more tedious that an overdone solo on any instrument,remember that the attention span of most humans is not that long,regardless how skillful you are.All artists,musicians,film makers etc have to be very aware of this.....
This is "Eric Bell's" Thin Lizzy,the real thin Lizzy is Lynotts Thin Lizzy,The 4 piece band with Robbo,Scott and Brian. Bell was too bluesy for Lizzy,thinks he's Hendrix or something.LOL ,wanted some hippie type band,not Phil's vision at all.Any pair of objective ears can clearly hear,that this solo is overdone!!!Him and Moore never worked for lizzy,same reason.too blusey
Also clearly you can't accept that people like different thigns so no point continuing this. One can't ever get any kind of reslotuion about these things... this is music, not math :- )
fantastic sound, but what on earth were the production team thinking when they filmed this? Shots of the gantry? and the worlds most unenthusiastic audience too. what a strange video.
Este es el PHIL LYNNOT que usa su bajo y su voz para lanzar JABS,UPPERCUTS y CROCHETS como sus hermanos de raza MUHAMADD ALÍ y JOSÉ LEGRÁ campeones del mundo de peso pesado y peso pluma.
@vonhogworth man for real phil and hendrix what a hell of a pill they would have did the deal i know this for a fact phil on bass and jimi's killers riffs u cant beat that not by a long stick oooohh yeah and for those that don't like it ......eat a dick
@gialla111 but in a way, it's kind of a good thing. That way people who appreciate the good stuff have a little gem all to themselves that most people would overlook rather than overplay... Take Queen for instance, they're good, but the radios CONSTANTLY play "we are the champions" way too much
Yea I gotta totally agree there . Eric was bloody great wasn't he ? I loved the Robertson/Gorman lineup too of course.
Not so sure now about when Gary Moore was in it now - especially after seeing some of the vids on here it has helped to remind me of what a friggin ego that guy had/has overplaying over everyone and even to the point of drowning out Brian at times. Gary should have taken lessons from Eric - lol .
its scott gorham not gorman and gary was in the band with scott not brian. (maybe for a 1974 performace of still in love with you they shared the stage. that's it!)
Doh ! I was talking about even Brian DOWNEY (Thin Lizzy drummer - in case you didn't know !) being drowned out by Gary Moore ! As well as drowning out Scott . Yes , apologies for cocking up his name - I was suffering with the flu at the time and could hardly see the monitor - lol ! I was also talking about the Robertson/Gorham lineup(Brian/Scott) being the best lineup apart from the Eric Bell years actually. Many thanks to ICETERICIA for putting this brilliant video on Youtube - GR8 stuff !
I was lucky enough to see them in cardiff's Top Rank on Queen Street on a tuesday "Implosion" night...lol They were awesome, will never forget that night, afterwards we used to go to the New Moon club on the Hayes in Cardiff for more local live bands and a bottle or several of Newcastle brown ale, lol. Does anyone remember the Revolution club on custom house street back then?? Run by The Crazy Captain Brian and his wife Linda? Wow I spent many nights there stoned and loving the music.Good times.
WOW Thats amazing, i was often to be found crashed out in the Moon club stoned off my head , The revolution club became Smilies i used to go there as well..
I was listening to Michael Jackson and then Motorhead. It seems that this song sort of bridges the gap. Wonderful. Bring on the Brighton road movement!
saw gary moore at leeds in april . he was RUBBISH. not talking to the fans falling out with the rest of the band telling the fans to fuck off and he did not play that well . it was just a mess he as truned in to a twat . we paid £ 40 to see him what a wast
What can you say? This is just fantastic. There was no chance in hell of ever hearing stuff like this on top 40 am radio back when this was released. You could only hear it on very late night underground fm radio stations. Of course, it just blows everything that was current then, right out of the water. Again, just incredible song, incredible performance, incredible musicians. Ireland's greatest band (sorry U2 fans, but, they'd tell you the same).
I can't tell you how much I need the other song's from this concert.. The video and audio quality is superb. Think 'Little Girl In Bloom' and 'Slow Blues' was one from this run. :D
There's another 3 songs I think. They used to be on youtube but I don't think they're up anymore. I can't quite remember what songs they are though - I think maybe Things Ain't Workin' Out Down at The Farm was one of them, and maybe Slow Blues...
Wow. This takes me back. Saw Thin Lizzy several times during the Eric Bell days (and before Whisky in the Jar) Truly excellent band. Wish I could go back there. Brian Downey and Phil Lynott were one of the best rhythm sections I've ever had the pleasure of seeing. I'm still a Lizzy fan. Thanks for posting this vid.
Don't think the Germans really gave a toss. That's why Trio is the only band I can think of that came out of Germany that had something approaching a rocker's soul. Too bad. I do love Berlin, even so.
You only have one of the greatest rock guitar solos of all time taking place. Why would you actually want to put the camera on the guitarist? lol.
Just another example of a self-important director making the show about him. Most of the time, I'd rather see a concert shot by one fan holding a camcorder.
Love this song. Great to see Eric. But sweet Jesus, wtf is with the director? Sweeping shots of the gantry while Eric is playing his solo? Maybe the 'Art' signs give a clue to this pretentious tosser. Thanks for upload though. :)
talk about about a dazed and confused crowd: phil and the lads work their a*ses off while the onlookers slip into a stupor of unknown origin. or were the bored germans simply still reeling from a war lost only some 28 years before? one wonders...
I heard this played as a single on the radio when it came out in about 197×. I would be about 16, and it was the definitive moment of experience of Rock 'N 'Roll.

I was listening to Michael Jackson and then Motorhead. It seems that this song sort of bridges the gap. Wonderful. Bring on the Brighton road movement!

If you know anything about the Europe crowd in the early 70's and late 60's, that is that they are very reserved.
Maybe they don't want to get out of line?

What can you say? This is just fantastic. There was no chance in hell of ever hearing stuff like this on top 40 am radio back when this was released. You could only hear it on very late night underground fm radio stations. Of course, it just blows everything that was current then, right out of the water. Again, just incredible song, incredible performance, incredible musicians. Ireland's greatest band (sorry U2 fans, but, they'd tell you the same).

Eric Bell was one of the best gutarist of the late 60s and 70s, and the others members of the band were all great as well, i love their early songs.
Thanks for posting this vid btw, pity it did not show film of Eric using the whammy bar at the end of the solo, that part is great.

I can't tell you how much I need the other song's from this concert.. The video and audio quality is superb. Think 'Little Girl In Bloom' and 'Slow Blues' was one from this run. :D

There's another 3 songs I think. They used to be on youtube but I don't think they're up anymore. I can't quite remember what songs they are though - I think maybe Things Ain't Workin' Out Down at The Farm was one of them, and maybe Slow Blues...

Wow. This takes me back. Saw Thin Lizzy several times during the Eric Bell days (and before Whisky in the Jar) Truly excellent band. Wish I could go back there. Brian Downey and Phil Lynott were one of the best rhythm sections I've ever had the pleasure of seeing. I'm still a Lizzy fan. Thanks for posting this vid.

Don't think the Germans really gave a toss. That's why Trio is the only band I can think of that came out of Germany that had something approaching a rocker's soul. Too bad. I do love Berlin, even so.

You wanna listen to Lucifers Friend 1st album - they came out of Germany and were shit hot. So did Scorpions and many others.

this is a brilliant find. Is it the last recorded perfomance before Eric Bell left?
and more Thin Lizzy Mk1 much appreciated

You only have one of the greatest rock guitar solos of all time taking place. Why would you actually want to put the camera on the guitarist? lol.
Just another example of a self-important director making the show about him. Most of the time, I'd rather see a concert shot by one fan holding a camcorder.

Love this song. Great to see Eric. But sweet Jesus, wtf is with the director? Sweeping shots of the gantry while Eric is playing his solo? Maybe the 'Art' signs give a clue to this pretentious tosser. Thanks for upload though. :)

talk about about a dazed and confused crowd: phil and the lads work their a*ses off while the onlookers slip into a stupor of unknown origin. or were the bored germans simply still reeling from a war lost only some 28 years before? one wonders...

I heard this played as a single on the radio when it came out in about 197×. I would be about 16, and it was the definitive moment of experience of Rock 'N 'Roll.
