Editorial Reviews

Taken from the same tour that produced Live and Dangerous , this 1977 recording from the Tower Theater in Philadelphia is like a fantastic sequel we didn't even see coming. They do the classics plus songs not found on any other live Lizzy album: Jailbreak; The Boys Are Back in Town; Cowboy Song; Opium Trail; Massacre; Me and the Boys , and more. Double-gatefold collectors' LP adds a bonus 7" single with two unreleased songs! --This text refers to the Vinyl edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars 4.5 release from Thin Lizzy - We Miss Phil Lynott, March 3, 2009

This is a 4.5 star release from a 5-star band. This will please Lizzy fans for sure. I only wish Phil's bass was just a pinch louder in parts, and that the CD contained more than 11 tracks. Maybe that is all they played that night at the Tower Theatre, although surely by 1977, they were headlining (a year after "Jailbreak"), which would lead one to believe that more than 11 cuts were played by Phil and the boys that night.

The sound is pretty good, although you'll have to turn up your volume nob a bit on the stereo. This CD isn't overly compressed, which gives it an almost-analog vibe. I liked that. The cymbals don't hiss, but actually sound like real drum cymbals. Producer Glyn Johns (Faces, The Eagles, The Who) and Lizzy guitarist Scott Gorham did a pretty good job remixing this release. Brian Robertson's guitar is down a bit in the mix, here and there, but it's never too distracting.
Fans should pick this up now. The fact that it doesn't contain any overdubs (the CD claims) is another plus. I only wish it was longer, songwise ... but it's worth the ten buckeroos ....

3.0 out of 5 stars Missing the rest of the show????, March 18, 2009

Yes, it is disapointing that the rest of the show is missing which is at least 7 songs. [...] has had the full 17 songs posted for listening for quite some time. I was aware of this show awhile ago and listened to it on Wolfgangs site and was excited to hear this was being released but sad to see when it came out how edited it is. I am a huge LIZZY fan and bummed about missing almost half the show.

As a die hard Lizzy Fan, I can't believe that they botched up another release. The whole show is not included and it is a combination of two shows that they played at the Tower Theater in Philly. The whole show can be heard on Wolfganes Vault in it's entirely and uncut. Five songs are excluded from this release and should be on there. I love Thin Lizzy and can't believe that they ruined this cd by not having the whole show.
