Thin Lizzy - The Sun Goes Down (experimental demo take - one of many)

This version of "The Sun Goes Down" is taken from a disc of 16 demo takes of the song where Lynott and Sykes were experimenting with different elements in the song. I liked this particular take (take 6)so I thought I would post it. Recently the entire set was posted on DIME as a reseed to mark what would of been Lynott's 60th birthday. If you want the set, head over there and grab them, and leave a big thanks with the uploader.

Enjoy!

Yeah, Lynott was pretty heavy on the vocal echo. I like how it's very stripped down at the beginning though...just the bass for the first few bars. Then Sykes plays the neat flamingo guitar later on. I'm still listening to the others, but this one stuck out right away.

Thanks alot, Ryan! This demo is like what you can listen when relaxing. You can get yourself away from thinking about something bad with this.

great post ! the drum sound is certainly different and more electronic sounding.
