Product Description

Album Review

Thin Lizzy's 1978 double album, Live and Dangerous, along with Kiss' Alive, the Who's Live at Leeds, and the Rolling Stones' Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out, is one of the greatest live rock albums of all time. The band wisely hooked up with producer Tony Visconti, again, and although it's become known in later years that the tracks included extensive overdubbing, many of the performances outshine the original studio versions. Except for a few tracks, the majority of the material spans from 1974's Nightlife to 1977's Bad Reputation, while the concerts were recorded during Thin Lizzy's last two major tours (1976 and 1977). Few bands have ever matched the explosive energy that Lizzy creates on such tracks as "Jailbreak", "Emerald", "Rosalie/Cowgirl's Song", "Don't Believe a Word", "Are You Ready" and "Sha-La-La", while their sing-along anthem "The Boys Are Back in Town" proves even more vivacious in a live setting. The more serene material -- "Southbound" and "Dancing in the Moonlight" -- is just as gripping, while the slow blues of "Still in Love with You" contains two of the most heartfelt and lyrical guitar solos ever (a trade-off between both Robertson and Gorham). Add to it such strong album cuts as "Massacre", "Johnny the Fox Meets Jimmy the Weed", "Warrior", "Suicide", and "The Rocker", and you have the ultimate Lizzy album. Live and Dangerous is a must-have for fans of powerful hard rock. --Greg Prato, All Music Guide


CD Description

Die-hard Thin Lizzy fans have been known to exchange blows arguing whether JAILBREAK or LIVE & DANGEROUS truly represents the band's supreme achievement. For devotees of the band's stage prowess it's a no-brainer: LIVE & DANGEROUS was, is,and always will be king of the mountain. Recorded at the height of the band's creative powers as well as its commercialpeak, the album offers energised performances of the band'sbest-known material, reeled out in confident swagger. Even the more obscure material ("The Rocker") and surprising cover songs (Bob Seger's "Rosalie") stand with sturdy pride nextthe band's more celebrated material (the galloping "Cowboy Song", the summer anthem "The Boys Are Back in Town", and the tension filled "Jailbreak". The '70s may have been a decade too often filled with bloated and pompous arena rock, but LIVE & DANGEROUS is a reminder that there was ambitious and arresting rock & roll to be found as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Lizzy Album, Ever, 20 Jan 2006
By J. I. Winder "buzzwagon999" (Surrey) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I went to see Thin Lizzy at Manchester Apollo in 1978, it was my first live gig and this album still seems as fresh now as it always did. Lizzy were a phenomenal band live and this captures them at their very best. From the crashing start of Jailbreak, through the mellow laid back Southbound, the hard rocking Rosalie, the emotion laden Still in Love with You, (possibly the best love song ever written), The Cowboy Song....I might as well list every track, it really is that good!

This album totally rocks and if you don't have it, buy it, if you haven't any money, steal it. It is a seminal album and should be in everybody's collection.

Phil Lynott was the driving force behind Thin Lizzy and not only has a brilliantly distinctive voice but his bass lines are superb, in Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson Lizzy had two of the best rock guitarists ever to strap on a guitar and Brian Downey on drums was tasteful and and tight.

For those of you that were there and may have forgotten, they really were as good as you remember them and for those of you that are too young to have been there, buy this, listen to it, and for possibly the only time in your life, wish you were older!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best live albums ever!, 16 Dec 2005
By Holy Smoke (Somewhere in Time) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
Many hail this as the greatest live rock n roll album of all time. Well it all depends what part of the pond your fishing in but it’s certainly at the top of the list (you can’t forget Made In Japan, Live After Death, Alive etc). Live and Dangerous is Thin Lizzy at their rockin’ best and one of those albums that goes under the “must have” label.

Lizzy’s super talented guitarists Robertson and Gorham play as one and deliver a stunning live show that really knocks you back. Lynott riles the audience and delivers each song with a classic punk attitude and his bass playing (although he himself didn’t think much of it) is outstanding. I implore you to play this loud and on a descent speaker system to get the fullest impact of the performance. Songs like Emerald, The Boys Are Back In Town, Cowboy Song, The Warrior and Massacre will have your jaws on the floor. It’s hard to fathom how they managed to capture the intricate musicianship of their albums mixed with a raw new take on the songs live. Thin Lizzy (although many just know them for their hits) are a truly unique and special band and deserve to go down in history as just that.

I can’t recommend this album enough, it’s the most fun you can have on 1 CD. Perfect, 5 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars still in love with you, 20 Aug 2003
By A Customer
My brother bought this amazing album back in 1977 & instantly disliked it & thoughtfully gave it to his 12 yr old brother(me).To this day it remains the only decent thing he has given me.
The moment you hear the crowd shouting the Bands name & the first chord of Jailbreak you are hooked.Have not stopped playing it since & remains the only album that I have also bought on CD.
Saw the band 4 times back in the 80's but never got to see the classic quartet of Lynott,Downey,Gorham & Robertson.

Have bought practically everything that the Band produced,however nothing can compare to this.Not many Bands can claim that their live material is better than the studio recordings,but here we have possibly the ultimate live performance.BUY IT.
