Thin Lizzy-Live and Dangerous (1978)

In 1978 Thin Lizzy published what would become her swan song and her most important album of all published, "Live and Dangerous".
However, this double album was not the typical live album, but a real-time document of a band and its live capabilities.
Recorded during the "Bad Reputation" album tour (1977), this sound document exudes magic and mysticism on all four sides, with a band made up of Lynott, Downey, Robertson and Gorham who were totally involved as a band and loved what they did in the best moment of their lives.
And as someone once said, let no one come to say that it is a retouched album in the studio, because the pyramids of Egypt have also been restored and are the first of the seven wonders of the world, so do not spoil the myth with that.
With a repertoire that leaves us breathless, mythical songs such as "Jailbreak", "Emerald", "Southbound", "Dancing in the Moonlight", "Massacre", "Johnny the Fox meets Jimmy the Weed", "Cowboy" Song "or" The Boys are Back in Town ", all of them legendary songs that will never grow old and have gone down in history as the best of hard rock.
Special mention deserves the wonderful "Still In Love With You" an exquisite bluesy ballad with spectacular and sublime guitar solos by Robertson and Gorham in unison.
For many this is the best live show in history, exaggerated or not, (I will not enter that debate), the truth is that it is among the best, in the highest positions of the Olympus of rock.
