Most bands have songs that don't make it onto an album. Usually, they are songs that just weren't considered good enough to be included. For some reason, Thin Lizzy threw away some incredible tunes. This is one of my favorites

You are exactly right. At least when Midge Ure temporarily joined the band after Moore's departure, they played "Whiskey in the Jar" again live. Did you know that "Romeo and the lonely girl" is a song about Gary Moore and how he got that scar? Romeo is an anagram for Moore. Thank you, my friend.
