Product Description

There to witness the event were members of Thin Lizzy from throughout the band’s career. Later that evening they joined forces under the leadership of Gary Moore for a concert that paid tribute to Lynott’s memory.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Missed Opportunity, August 6, 2006

By	Nifflefoot (Yellowknife, Northwest Territories) - See all my reviews

Gary Moore is undoubtedly a fine guitar player. Unfortunately, he is barely adequate as a singer. And he doesn't have nearly enough charisma to carry the show as a front man. John Sykes would have been a very welcome addition to this show. The appearance of Eric Bell is a highlight, as are the interviews.

4.0 out of 5 stars Stoked on this one..., December 6, 2006

By	Ya Mama's Mama "lil' devil" (daytona beach, fl) - See all my reviews

This is a welcome addition to my dvd collection as Thin Lizzy is one of my all-time favorites right up there with Sabbath, Zep, etc. The sound/video quality is very good, and so is the musicianship, especially Gary Moore and Brian Downey...Actually Brian Downey saves Gary and Brian Robertson at the last few bars of "Emerald" but, hey, that's rock'n'roll! In the interviews part of this dvd Robbo made a good point in stating that the unveiling of a statue of Phil Lynott in Dublin wouldn't have been complete without this tribute show to the man who touched so many people's lives worldwide. Also in this dvd are appearances by Scott Gorham, sans Les Paul in favor of a Strat and also the first guitarist in this great band, Eric Bell. This dvd would have been a perfect "10" if Snowy White (Chinatown, Renegade) and John Sykes (Thunder and Lightning) were in it, but I'm not gonna complain! It's about time Thin Lizzy got the credit they have been due and this dvd firmly cement's Phil Lynott's Legacy in rock and roll history and hopefully will garner new, younger fans as well. Timeless music has a way of doing that! A very nice package overall.

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost There..., August 4, 2006

By	TL Lives (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews

Even the casual Thin Lizzy fan will find this DVD simultaneously exhilarating, frustrating, and mysterious... just like Phil Lynott himself. Exhilarating: the musicianship demonstrated by all former Thin Lizzy members is pure joy as all members present were clearly there in Dublin to perform and add lustre to the Lynott legacy. Especially noteworthy is Mr. Brian Downey, the staple member and still unsung hero of the original band. Watch how he carries "Emerald" after both Moore and Robertson miss their end-solo queue. Frustrating: Gary Moore, you look absolutely awful, though your vocals and playing are exceptional throughout. By the way, Gary, I thought this was about Thin Lizzy and Phil... why did you insist on consuming valuable DVD time on your solo material? NOT good, my friend.... Nice songs, bad timing. Mysterious: A rehabbed Scott Gorham sounding not quite coherent in his interview segments... And only a few words from Brian Downey? Why?? I agree with thoughts offered by other viewers, the addition of John Sykes (also mysterious with his absence from such a momentous occasion) would have added variety and context to Lynott's prowess as writer/vocalist. In the end, an hour's worth of truly great playing and the interviews provide some intriguing insights. Still, dedicated Thin Lizzy fans will seek something more. Like the man himself...just out of reach.
