Had the fab four stayed together, we can only wonder whether it might’ve saved them both musically, and professionally.Īs a result, this album is most certainly a celebration. Obviously, there was a far greater loss a couple of years later with Lynott‘s sad passing too. The music suffered as a result, and in 1983 it was all over. Starting with Gary Moore‘s re-joining for 1979’s excellent Black Rose album, there was a revolving door of guitarists coming in, and out. As we know now, Robertson’s final firing in 1978 signified the beginning of the end for Thin Lizzy. In addition to that, it makes you wonder what could’ve been. Not many bands could deliver such quality over a lifetime! It’s hard to believe that the bands’ classic line up was only together for four years, and in that time delivered a quartet of studio albums as well as this live set too. One thought that really stuck with me throughout this box set was that it documents a great band, at the absolute height of their powers. Therefore proving that the need to overdub performances was merely a vanity project on the part of the musicians! It’s a sign of their musicianship that there isn’t really any much difference between this and the final album. The final disc features the band ripping through the full album in London in 1978, without overdubs. Unlike all the other’s what was actually released was a soundcheck recording, with crowd noise overdubbed to sound live. However, one revelation included in the booklet, that I didn’t know previously concerns Southbound‘s inclusion on the live album. ![]() A pair of shows recorded in Philadelphia, and a night in Toronto feature the likes of the title track, the funky Dancing In The Moonlight, and set opener Soldier Of Fortune from it. ![]() Then, having experienced the first of Brian Robertson‘s firings and re-hiring’s, they delivered 1977’s Bad Reputation album, where they began to spread their wings musically. Though, this last disc, more or less features the same set list as the original album. Not only that, but we also get a final show from London from the 1978 tour in support of the albums release. Six of these feature the shows from which the original album was compiled. In addition to a remaster of the original album, we get an additional seven discs. I just wish each would get this sort of lavish expanded treatment. Each has a strong argument to be number one, but personally I love them all. Indeed, so are the other usual suspects like Live After Death, Strangers In The Night, Quo Live!and If You Want Blood You Got It. Whenever there is a poll of the greatest live albums of all time, the original album is always there. One of the greatest albums of all time, just got a whole lot greater. If you’re a Thin Lizzy nut, this will be your Christmas coming early. Here it is expanded from one disc, up to eight. There’s not a lot that can be said about Live And Dangerous that hasn’t already been said is there? Forty five years after it was unleashed on us, it’s received the mother and father of reissues. ![]()
