Thin Lizzy - Sitamoia (Live 1974)

"Sitamoia" played live at Bristol, UK on 4/14/1974. Features the Moore, Lynott, Downey version of Lizzy that existed for about 3 months in early 1974. The intro features Moore finishing up his guitar solo (should be familiar ;) ) and the end features a drum solo by Downey. Enjoy!

Sad to say I was at this concert but cant say I remember them finishing with this track.

I do remember that Eric Bell just happened to be in bristol that night and Lizzy played The Rocker with Moore, Scott, and Eric Bell all taking turns at lead.

This wasn't the last song played. 'The Rocker', 'Hard Drivin' Man', and 'Rock 'N' Roll with You' were played after this song.

Also, it must of been a different concert you attended because this was before Robertson and Gorham were even in Thin Lizzy.

The guitar solo at the beginning is from "Black Rose", but the video titles says 1974 - didn't black rose come out in 1978? Or maybe he'd already written that solo before the Black Rose album came out?

[blacksabfan]

Right, that was what I was getting at. Obviously Moore had been playing that lick for sometime prior to 'Black Rose'.

Brian Downey must surely be the most under rated rock drummer of all time! This is brilliant stuff.

[SoldierofFortune07]

it's the feeling and rawness to phil's voice when he sings the verse that really gets to me. You can tell he had a real empathy with what was going on about what was happening in africa. And I think geldof robbed "There won't be any snow in Africa this christmas" or at least the premise from this

Blacksabfan, you amaze me , im not a beliver in any religion, but shit you must be close to God if he exisits, are you god??? where the hell do you get this stuff from??? Thankyou. what can i say Moore/ Lynott were a fab pair when they were together , Downie is got to be in the top ten of all time drummers, surely. I would have been 10 and still sucking my thum, but into Slade who were pritty good at this time too.. Thanks again pal

R.I.P Gary............a rock legend.

[chosenfool]

@blacksabfan The song Black Rose is based around a medley of Irish standards, most of which Gary was playing even as a teenager.
