Lyrics & Information
Taken from the Live & Dangerous album tour. I realise this video is already on youtube but since I found a better quality audio one I decided to put this up. Enjoy!
Lyrics :-
Down from the glen came the marching men
With their shields and their swords
To fight the fight they believed to be right
Overthrow the overlords
To the town where there was plenty
They brought plunder, swords and flame
When they left the town was empty
Children would never play again
From their graves I heard the fallen
Above the battle cry
By that bridge near the border
There were many more to die
Then onward over the mountain
And outward towards the sea
They had come to claim the Emerald
Without it they could not leave

BOY, Thin LIZZY ROCKED/ROCKS!!!

so freakin awesome it's ridiculous!
-
This is NOT taken from the Live & Dangerous tour! That was in '77-'78 w/ Robbo and Gorham. :D This is with Snowy who came AFTER Moore (and Midge Ure, who filled in the tours after Moore bailed) This would've had to of been during the 'Renegade' tours (if it's in '81 as you post), which was short lived for Snowy as well.
-
Such a badass intro to the song. asking what the audience wants to hear and then playing what they wanted to play anyway lol. Of course who wouldn't want to hear emerald? Though this guitar duel is decidedly less interesting with snowy instead of robbo or moore.
-
@mrguitarmanthesecond High Man the bass is an Ibanez Roadstar
-
@SweeperMelis Nope, that's Gorham for sure with his durable Tobacco burst LP. .
-
Im not a guitarist but does Snowy come in on a misplaced solo at 1:57? ..Snowy and Scott also sound out of tune...Robo where are you man, Phil said he was sorry!
-
@TheTurkeyDinosaur I believe you are correct. With Garys distinctive style, you can tell he's not here.
-
@SweeperMells It's definitely Scott, only he's got darker hair than usual. There's no Gary Moore here!

Lol I noticed that too, I put it down to the huge touring exhaustion they must have been under ;). It's nice to see we're all human at the end of the day though
