Thin Lizzy is an Irish rock band that was formed in Dublin in 1969. The band had various combinations of former members after the death of their founding member and frontman. Although they disbanded in 1983, Thin Lizzy reformed and continued to perform with different line-ups. Throughout their existence, they had several guitar players including well-known names such as Gary Moore and Snowy White. Drummer Brian Downey replaced a previous drummer for a few gigs, while keyboard players Eric Bell and Darren Wharton contributed to the band's recordings. The most famous and recognized line-up of Thin Lizzy was during the period from 1974 to 1978 with Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson on lead guitar. Currently, Scott Gorham and Ricky Warwick are touring under the name Thin Lizzy.

Back In Stock

Die-hard Thin Lizzy fans have been known to exchange blows arguing whether Jailbreak or Live and Dangerous truly represents the band's supreme achievement. For devotees of the band's stage prowess it's a no-brainer: Live and Dangerous was, is, and always will be king of the mountain. Recorded at the height of the band's creative powers as well as its commercialpeak, the album offers energised performances of the band's best-known material, reeled out in confident swagger. Even the more obscure material (The Rocker) and surprising cover songs (Bob Seger's Rosalie) stand with sturdy pride next to the band's more celebrated material (the galloping Cowboy Song, the summer anthem The Boys are Back in Town, and the tension filled Jailbreak. The '70s may have been a decade too often filled with bloated and pompous arena rock, but Live and Dangerous is a reminder that there was ambitious and arresting rock 'n' roll to be found as well.

8CD - This box set is the definitive version of the album, containing all the shows that make up the record newly mixed by Ben Findlay from the original multi-tracks, mastered by Andy Pearce and overseen by Guitarist Scott Gorham. It goes to dispel the rumours that the album was extensively overdubbed in the studio and its presented here as the shows were intended with the rawness of a band, they were at the top of their game night after night. The package is rounded off with sleeve notes by mojo’s Mark Blake and has a booklet packed with rare photos and memorabilia.
