Thin Lizzy/PA,USA 1977 Upgrade

“PHILADELPHIA 1977: REMASTERED EDITION” is now in stock! The soundboard sound source recorded at the “Tower Theater” in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on October 20, 1977 accompanying the release of “BAD REPTATION” is one of THIN LIZZY’s many collector’s live items, but it is truly a must-have. One of the. This work, which has polished that sound source to its limits using current technology, is a masterpiece that not only THIN LIZZY fans but all rock enthusiasts should have! It is a permanent preservation version suitable for its prestige and quality, and it has been decided to be released now! “A must-have for fans”, “A must-hear live performance”… Expressions often used to refer to an excellent sound source as a collector’s item. In addition to having excellent sound quality and wonderful performances, there are various things that point to this, such as the sound source from a lineup for which there is no official live work, and playing rare songs. However, these are things that can only be accepted by enthusiasts who are “accustomed to collector’s items,” and for those who are not normally exposed to such sound sources, they may have a question mark, “Where on earth is this?” However, there are some items that will make all beginners and casual fans say, “It’s definitely great!” Examples include RAINBOW’s “WHEN EVENING FALLS,” BLACK SABBATH’s “MONTREUX 1970,” and WHITESNAKE’s “LIVE…IN THE WEST OF THE RHINE.” Although these are unofficial releases, they are great live recordings that rival official works such as DEEP PURPLE’s “LIVE IN JAPAN” and LED ZEPPELIN’s “THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME,” and are loved by fans even after their release. continues to be done. The stereo sound board sound source that completely records THIN LIZZY’s “October 20, 1977 Philadelphia Performance” is one such item. This live was recorded for “King Biscuit Flower Hour” and 6 songs were aired, and some were overdubbed and modified and also adopted as the official “LIVE AND DANGEROUS”. Furthermore, in 2009, “STILL DANGEROUS”, which included 12 songs from the same live performance, was released. Normally, when such live material is discovered and made official in a full-length feature, it is said that “the role of a collector’s item is over”, but that was not the case this time. Why? That’s because in 2007, there was an unofficial version that surpassed the official one. That is the 2-disc set “BREAKOUT”. The complete recording of the show from that “Wolfgang Vault” master over 1 hour and 21 minutes will overwhelm the enthusiasts. Immediately after its release, it became an explosive topic. The call that “THIN LIZZY’s best live album ever” spread to beginners, and led many fans to the world of collector’s items. “BREAKOUT” has already been sold out and out of print, and has been difficult to obtain recently. Therefore, this time, we will immediately release this definitive sound source on CD! The sound was remastered using the latest technology in 2015, and the passionate live performance of THIN LIZZY at its peak has been condensed into two CDs! Immediately after playing the disc, the first thing that pops out during “Introduction” is the sound of each member of the band playing their instruments as they please. From this point on, the sound quality is already official. You can enjoy a sound that goes beyond the category of collector’s item in all aspects, such as outstanding clarity, a spacious sound field, and a mix in which all parts are neatly separated. And the moment when Phil Lynott opens the show and says, “This show is being recorded for King Biscuit,” leads to “Soldier Of Fortune,” which has an Irish flavor, it is a sudden moment of this work. Listening place! The tension and voltage on stage gradually rising while being surrounded by the cheers of the fans will remind you of the beginning of DEEP PURPLE’s “LIVE IN JAPAN”! Speaking of THIN LIZZY’s opening numbers, the first thing that comes to mind is “Are You Ready” or “Jailbreak,” but the melodious and slowly sinking start of the song is also very flavorful. As if the first song had warmed up, the medley of “Jailbreak” heated up the scene at once! Also, don’t miss listening to “Johnny The Fox Meets Jimmy The Weed” and “Warriors”, which were not included in the official “”. The golden twin leads by Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson jump out lively from the left and right sides of the channel, and intertwine exquisitely with the playing of Phil and Brian Downey…the combination of the band coming together as one is truly amazing. This is the charm of LIZZY’s sound at its peak! “Dancing In The Moonlight”, which swings lightly with a comfortable groove (John Earle’s saxophone is also wonderful!), and “Still In Love With You”, which melts the listener’s heart, are the biggest highlights of this work. The brilliance of the melody and play that you can hear here is still fresh even after about 40 years! Furthermore, the heat of “Cowboy Song” and “The Boys Are Back In Town”, which rock powerfully from the idyllic intro, is irresistible. No wonder Ritchie Blackmore described Phil as “a musician with fire.” Furthermore, the songs exclusive to this period, such as “Opium Trail” and “Bad Reputation” that decorate the beginning of Disc 2, are also interesting. Even alongside the standard songs “Don’t Believe A Word” and “Emerald”, the quality of the song and playing is not inferior in the slightest. After Brian Downey’s drum solo followed by “Baby Drives Me Crazy,” the venue got excited, and then “Me And The Boys” and “Are You Ready” came out like a roar! Not only intense and passionate performances, but also tear-jerking melodies and fun productions interwoven like twills…The entire 81-minute live performance is like watching a movie! The famous live work “LIVE AND DANGEROUS” not only represents THIN LIZZY’s career, but is also a masterpiece of hard rock that no one can avoid. However, this was “created” by editing the sound sources of the ’76 London performance and the ’77 tour (of course, since it is a “work”, editing and mixing are natural). On the other hand, the value of this work, which allows you to enjoy the entire live performance at that time, without any editing or dubbing, with the same quality as the official one, is unparalleled. I am once again reminded of how amazing LIZZY was at the time, when she was showing off a stage that was even better than “LIVE AND DANGEROUS” in her regular set. THIN LIZZY’s live performance at its peak had the best sound, and the fact that it was left with such quality without any editing can only be described as a miracle. Please take this opportunity to enjoy this definitive historical item that rock enthusiasts will definitely want to collect. In the truest sense of the word, this work is one that we do not hesitate to call “a must-listen/must-have live recording”! Live at Tower Theater, Philadelphia, PA.
