A rarely heard version of "Didn't I" performed during soundcheck at Cork, Ireland on 4/13/1980. This was also the last show that Lizzy utilized three guitarists (Gorham, White, and Ure).

Come on Blacksab fan,, let us in,, how did you manage to get a hold of all this stuff ? are you Brian Downey ?

[blacksabfan]

Nope, I am definitely not Brian Downey.

I couldn't really answer this question in one YouTube comment, but I'll attempt to answer this on my blog soon (see my channel for that). A lot of stuff floats around on the net in various places, but it also helps knowing some people and making connections. There are several people with collections much bigger than mine, although thanks to a few people I can boast a pretty nice one now too.

[blacksabfan]

Another thing I will say, and it's just a general observation I have made and some others have made, that a lot of Lizzy collectors don't easily part with their stuff. Don't really understand why...you can't take it with you to the grave and if you have something and don't let other people hear it, then does it really exist at all. (If a tree falls in the forest...)

I love you blacksabfan. You are the best source for rare Lizzy material on the web. I wouldn't be surprised if you were in fact Brian Downey.

[blacksabfan]

I wouldn't say I'm the best source. Maybe the best sharer...
