As an FYI, in January there is an 8 CD deluxe edition of Thin Lizzy’s Live and Dangerous coming out.

Edit. Yes I am excited as well. Heres hoping it is as good as the UFO and Be Bop Deluxe live deluxe releases.

It’s a great album to be sure. But, the debate has been going on for years regarding how much of it was really live?

I wish I’d known this was going on at the time. Still hoping for another reunion.

I was going to type this as a response (without the expletive) but the very words are in that linked article:

But, really, does it f***ing matter?

Live & Dangerous is a great album, probably Lizzy’s finest. It matters not one jot how much of it was overdubbed or created in the studio. Who wants to hear out of tune vocals, sloppy timing or duff solos forever more?

if you like Cabrel (eminently accessible French folk/pop), this is excellent.

Yes, wonderful Leon. One of the most unsung songwriters of my time. He also put together much of the band for George Harrison’s Concert for Bangladesh in 1971. Does a great version of Jumpin Jack Flash on the DVD.

if you like this vintage of Leon and haven’t seen it, I’d recommend the movie, ‘A Poem is a Naked Person’ - It’s a pretty incredible snapshot not only of Leon, but of the era as well. Great stuff…

Big Elbow fan, and recently found their ‘The Seldom Seen Kid’ live at Abbey Studios performance on CD. I remembered that Panasonic had a demo disk for their TV’s that had ‘One Day Like This’ many years ago and loved it.
