Thin Lizzy - Romeo and the Lonely Girl (Live w/Scott Intro)

A rare live recording of "Romeo and the Lonely Girl" from Cleveland, Ohio in 1976. The sound is a little spotty, but the special thing from this track is that Scott Gorham actually talks to the audience and introduces the song! I wonder what inspired that? Enjoy.

I read somewhere that this song was written as a friendly "dig" at Gary Moore.

(Romeo is an anagram of Moore)

Phil and Gary had a pretty up and down relationship apparently. Lovely song, nice version.

That's true. It says that in "The Rocker".

I love this! I know they did play this song in the proper fast version too, but have never heard it live.

There are bootlegs of it. If ANYONE has this live and fast - please post!!!

Also would kill to hear a live version of Angel From The Coast - there's a live Chicgo 76 version of it, but again, yet to hear it. Have you got them BlackSab? Once again, keep posting.

I do have a live version of Angel From the Coast. It's from Birmingham on 3/15/1976. I'll post it Thursday.

I'm a Liverpool fan, and we drew 2-2 with the mancs. On that night, Lizzy played the Birmingham Odeon. As usual, after the gig, they let the fans filter through the dressing room for autographs (and the pick of the girls!). Phil saw my LFC badge and says to me 'you lucky barstards, we'll beat you in the replay'. I said i bet you a bass guitar you don't' and he signed my program 'to merlin, best wishes Phil Lynott'. A true rock star and how i wish now i could pay him the bet, cos we lost replay!

Thin Lizzy are my absolute favourite band, Philo was and is an absolute legend- so much charisma and talent! I just love his voice. And the band collectively is just amazing. Pity I was born in '93, I would have loved to have seen the real deal.

[JamesieRabYe]

Lovely! So great to hear this... saw them in' 76 on the JTF tour...best band I ever saw. Well, maybe Springsteen on the River Tour came close :)

[ezrhino100]

phil could have been an R&B superstar. he could have done some country too.coulda woulda shoulda. with lizzy the possibilities are never ending. God bless you Phil wherever you are.

@Heavymetalhitman I'm trying to figure out, there are websites that will take youtube clips and do that

[bassistabe]

Don't mean to bother, but Running Back is my favorite song by Thin Lizzy and I can't seem to find a good live version, do you know of one?
