Live And Dangerous

Product Information

The band decided to release a live album after their producer Tony Visconti did not have enough time to work on a full studio session. They listened through various archive recordings from earlier tours and compiled the album from the best versions. Various studio overdubs were made to the live recordings during early 1978 in Paris; exactly how much of the album is overdubbed has been a contentious topic since its release. The album reached No.2 in the UK Albums Chart, ultimately selling over half a million copies in the UK. It has continued to attract critical acclaim and it has appeared in several lists of the greatest live albums of all time.

I may never listen to anything but Thin Lizzy for the rest of my life.

We are a very loud band... how are you going to replace my guitar when it's so loud that it's going to bleed all over the bloody drum kit?"Crew [Thin Lizzy Crew on the tour 'Bad Reputation’ 1977], Technician [Drums - Brian D.] – Gary Lee (7)

And here I am, a day after delivery and I can’t stop playing it. With the 3 Hammersmith nights from 1976, 2 Philadelphia shows from 1977, the Toronto show from 1977 and the Rainbow theatre show from 1978, there’s a lot to listen to. Thin Lizzy’s Life Live was initially released in the Autumn of 1983 and was the band’s final album, recorded on their farewell tour earlier that year. Thin Lizzy's Live and Dangerous stands as one of the greatest concert recordings ever. Originally released as a double LP set in 1978, during the golden age of live albums, the inspired Live and Dangerous captured the classic Lizzy line-up of Philip Lynott, Brian Robertson, Scott Gorham and Brian Downey firing on all cylinders from the stage. The tight performances showcases Thin Lizzy's diversity and go-for-it spirit, as well as Lynott's larger-than-life star-power charisma. Some pressings of the record sleeve include a montage photograph in the studio containing a mirror, straw, razor blade and a rolled up five pound note (as an overt reference to cocaine consumption). Lynott insisted on adding the picture over the rest of the band's objections. [17] Release [ edit ] Live and DangerousAndrew Bramah: Great album. Only let down by the omission of a few songs they played when I saw them. Like Soldier Of Fortune which they opened with with, and Opium Trail and Bad Reputation. Side three of the original vinyl album is a bit generic crowd pleasing. I still think Robertson was a huge natural talent wasted. Released in 1978, just as the hot streak starting with 1975's Fighting and running through 1977's Bad Reputation came to an end, Live and Dangerous was a glorious way to celebrate Thin Lizzy's glory days and one of the best double live LPs of the 70s. But even if there was some tweaking in the studio, Live and Dangerous feels live, containing more energy and power than the original LPs, which were already dynamic in their own right. ( AllMusic)
