Thin Lizzy - Dear Miss Lonely Hearts (LIVE!)

Audio of Thin Lizzy performing "Dear Miss Lonely Hearts" at Dublin, Ireland on 6/7/1980. As only Lynott would, he gives a shout out to Bob Geldof mid-song.

And YES, this is Thin Lizzy. I know this song was originally on Lynott's first solo album, but Lizzy played it extensively during the Chinatown Tour, being all the members played on it anyway.

how much was the intro like Jesus of Surburbia?! lol!

@mintyninty21

Considering they are both D Bm G A, a common progression and key....the police's "Every Breathe I Take" is also the same progression and key, which is why Lynott adlibbed it a lot when they did this live.

I saw Thin Lizzy and AC-DC play together at Comiskey Park, great show.

I saw Zeppelin on their first American your in 1969 and they were sleep inducing; Vanilla Fudge blew them right out of Cook County that night. Jethro Tull smoked them both. Interesting show.

The Ramones live, especially when they broke in 1977, had a power and drive and crunch that was amazing. They were like Mountain on amphetamines, something amazing to see and hear.

My kids liked Kiss but I didn't.

Yeah, I've been forunate enough to see AC/DC and I also saw Robert Plant opening for The Who back in '02.

I missed a lot of good bands, simply because of my youth...but it's always interesting to hear impressions from others who saw them...good and bad. Thanks for sharing that with me and everyone else.

hey blacksabfan, how come i end up to your collection whenever searching for some favourite music?? :-D Thanks buddy, highly appreciated!

Phil's immortal soul may inspire more and more people

[blacksabfan]

That's funny my collection should come up...it only consists of two bands. Unless you count all the spinoffs Lynott did and his solo stuff.

I've always thought about posting other stuff. I have a lot of UFO and some other bands as well, but I wanted to keep it limited and focused. Thanks for the compliments.

Phil is still my favorite song writer and singer , he is sorely missed .

[chetalk]

@Jethrofinger I'm with you on the Lynott influence. Learning his songs especially the 1st three LPs taught me so much about melodic structures. Then his latter style of being rock solid, not in so much of a supportive role but displaying the bass as a commanding rhythmatic force. A great influence indeed! Now Entwistle...he taught me how to be a melodic monster...two completly different animals all together.

I remember this Dublin concert broadcast in Chicago. It was the Chinatown tour and I believe it was shared with the Dire Straits. Although it was a Gorham/White guitar combo I remember it being quite good! It included Chinatown & Got To Give It Up along with this tune which sounds great live. Scot Gorham is awesome..the melodic shredder!

@supersonicextreme750

I hear you. I was born in 1991 and today's music is shit. Greatest band ever? Personally, I think that belongs to the Beatles but Thin Lizzy are one of my all time favorite bands. They make the top 12, probably would've been in the top 10 if I had gotten into them earlier. Still, I hold Lizzy near and dear to my heart. Hell, I got all of their studio albums and the two live albums. As a bassist, I look up to Phil. He, Entwistle, and Roger Waters= bass gods!
