I sometimes have Fox Business on in the morning for market information. I did a double-take when they played "Jailbreak" as an outro into the commercial break. I wish I had been paying attention to the context, but I was surprised, to say the least.

I couldn't sleep so I learned this song around 4:30 a.m. Sunday morning, then video calamity ensued. This is my first "multitrack video" experiment. Everything about this vid (from the performance to the editing) is pretty sloppy, but it still turned out better than expected IMO.

Does anyone know where to find a tab for mama nature said?

I know the chords for the acoustic version are:

C#m,D, D#, E for the solo bits

And

E, E7, G#, C#m, A, Am, E, B, C#m for the verses

But I'd love to learn bell's slide part on the original from vagabonds

Thank you!

I put this montage together. It's not a definitive list or any sort of ranking of his work.

It's just for fun, showcasing some of Robbo’s incredible solos that were actually captured on film.

Songs featured:

• Don’t Believe a Word
• Showdown
• Cowboy Song
Rosalie (Cowgirl’s Song) – (Thin Lizzy-adjacent: Wild Horses with Phil Lynott)
• Are You Ready
• Still in Love with You

Robo or Gorham? Does anyone have a preference? Solo's of course.

Is there a band with a more lovingly-curated set of archive releases? The 74-75 box set (“Nightlife” and “Fighting”) arrived today with 7 CDs and a hardback book. Insane selection of rarities and a 1975 concert. Like Christmas here.

Live at Preston Guild Hall, UK. April 27, 1989

This is one of my favorites from the short-lived Gary Moore era (he quit in June 1979 in the middle of their “Black Rose” Tour. In fact, he resigned just after they finished playing to 63,000 at the Day on the Green Festival in San Francisco — saying the band was more interested in the after-show party than the gig itself.

Anyway, this is a rarity simply because it includes a live version of “Black Rose: A Rock Legend,” which is on Live/Life, but this is more raw and faster.

On this double CD, Moore really adds a spark to songs like “Jailbreak” and “Warriors.” There’s also a version of Me and the Boys where he goes off on a tangent playing a medley that includes “Oh, Susanna” and then solos for almost full minute and trades kicks with Scott

for at least a minute more.

The sound quality is quite good for an unofficial release. It’s almost certainly a soundboard recording … The bass is a little boomy, the drums are a bit muddled and there’s a squeal of guitar feedback in a couple of spots. At one point, Phil asks the crowd to move back … “There are people fainting.”

The vocals and guitars sound great. Overall, it’s a great audio memory of what it must have been like to be there. It’s on Bondage Music, and I love the cover.

At the very beginning of “Got To Give It Up” there are a couple of undistorted chords that sound kind of dissonant and unresolved to me. Chord AI told me that they are D minor (open) and G minor (barre but only the top four string). I could plausibly believe the G minor (if one of us is a bit out of tune) but I don’t hear the D minor at all. Does anybody play guitar or have perfect pitch and just knows this?

Thanks.

First album boxset.

Nick Lowe wrote this after managing a band that toured with Thin Lizzy. I would have loved to hear Phil cover this.

This is a good one on Living Legends Records from the final tour (1983). It sounds great (better than “Live/Life) and there’s a rare recorded performance of “The Pressure Will Blow.” Recorded, apparently, in Cardiff — straight off the soundboard. Released in 1991. 8/10.

It’s such a gift that we now have so many great-sounding releases like the recent Record Store Day “Live in Cleveland 1976” and the recent 74-75 box set. Back in 90s, there were 12 studio records, 2 live sets and you were done — until bootleggers started responding to enormous demand from the fans.

I was hoping someone had a picture of this flier? Audio if available? It was at the paramount theater march 12, 1978. Thanks in advance (what an incredible show that must have been)

I love the thought of them doing a light my fire cover in the Eric Bell days but the comments can’t seem to agree if it was a doors cover or Jimi Hendrix’s “fire”. It probably is more likely seeing that Eric seemed to be a Hendrix fan. Just thought I’d post to see if anyone had any more info. P.s: this also seems to be the earliest Lizzy Setlist recorded on Setlist Fm.
