Thin Lizzy/England,UK 1977

In 1977, THIN LIZZY was enjoying an era of great prosperity and was about to reach the end of its golden lineup. Introducing the original master that allows you to experience the gorgeous scene at its best. What is infused into this work is “Manchester performance on November 25, 1977”. This is an exquisite audience recording. At that time, THIN LIZZY was in a period of turmoil, with Brian Robertson and Gary Moore repeatedly joining and leaving. In order to sort out the circumstances, let’s first look at the schedule at the time. 1976《November 23: Robo injured → Gary joins》1977 January 3: London performance January 18 – March 18: North America #1 (37 performances)《March 25: Robo’s Announcement of withdrawal → formation of trio》《BAD REPUTATION completed in June》《July 20th: Announcement of Robo’s return》・August 6th – September 4th: Europe #1 (12 performances)・September 21st -November 5th: North America #2 (32 performances) November 11th – December 17th: UK (28 performances) ←★Here★ March 29th – July 6th, 1978: Europe #2 ( 16 performances) 《Robo re-leaves → Gary rejoins》This is a change drama between Robo and Gary. Robo, who was injured in a fight, left the group for a while and his withdrawal was announced, but he later returned. However, that didn’t last long, and in the summer of 1978, the baton was officially handed over to Gary. The Manchester performance of this work was during the period when Robo had temporarily returned. This was the 13th concert of the “UK” tour at the end of 1977. This show is also known for its famous recordings, but this work is the highest peak sound version of that famous recording. In fact, this recording was made by a recordist who is connected to our store, and is also familiar with DEEP PURPLE’s “HAMMERSMITH ODEON 1991 3RD NIGHT” etc. Unfortunately, this time it is not the original master, but it has been digitized from a young generation (probably 1st generation) cassette that was given directly by the person who recorded it. In fact, its freshness is tremendous, with almost no dubbing traces, a sense of stability and a fresh sound. As before, there is a sense of distance in the vocals, but their inclusive extension is extremely beautiful, and the direct feeling of the powerful performance sound that pierces through it has also increased. The fresh sound depicts the enthusiastic performance of the “Golden Four” who were ripe but collapsed before rotting. Unfortunately, the recording is incomplete, but the content is very rich. Here, let’s organize the set while comparing it with the traditional masterpiece “LIVE AND DANGEROUS”.・Nightlife: Still In Love With You ・Jailbreak: Jailbreak/Emerald/Warriors/Cowboy Song ・Massacre/Johnny The Fox Meets Jimmy The Weed/Don’t Believe A Word ・Notoriety: Soldier of Fortune (★) /Southbound/Opium Trail(★)/Dancing in the Moonlight (It’s Caught Me in Its Spotlight)/Bad Reputation(★)・Others: Are You Ready/Me And The Boys(★) *Note: “★” mark is tradition A song that cannot be heard on the “LIVE AND DANGEROUS” album. …and it looks like this. Anyway, it’s a shame that it’s incomplete because the sound is great. Although it was released for one point in the recording due to the tape change, it is a beautiful sound that approaches the original master of the legendary recording. This is the first sound source in Japan. Rare sound source via the recorder. The sound is good. Live at Free Trade Hall, Manchester, UK 25th November 1977 TRULY AMAZING SOUND (78:01) 1.
