The first thing to say about this live album is that it is stunningly immediate, really capturing the raw hunger of the classic Thin Lizzy line-up, shortly before they hit the big time with Jailbreak. Recorded at Derby College on the Fighting tour, the gig was captured for a radio broadcast.

This really is the next best thing to having been there, as the band tear through a set consisting of many of the harder tracks which had begun to replace the more romantic sound of Nightlife. Some of the material here was so new it hadn’t been recorded yet, such as the unfamiliar versions ofCowboy Song (Derby Blues) and Me & The Boys.

It’s a snapshot of a band on their way up, not quite yet possessing the hard-boiled confidence they would later display, and way before things started to go awry for Lynott and his various addictions. What you will also find here is some of the best Lynott crowd banter, and a band trying out some new songs and part-songs that will later evolve into chart smashes.

This will never replace Live & Dangerous as the definitive Thin Lizzy document but for fans it’s an essential portrait of the band as they approached their prime.
This set reveals Thin Lizzy as one of the greatest live bands in history.
Fascinating.
