In January 1983, Thin Lizzy was riding the wave of their established legacy while promoting their album "Thunder and Lightning," which was released later that year in March. The live recording from "The Tube" captures a moment when the band was integrating new material from this album into their setlist alongside iconic tracks like "The Boys Are Back in Town" and "Cold Sweat." This period marked a significant era for Thin Lizzy, as it was one of their final tours before the original lineup disbanded in 1984. The set showcased not only their classic rock roots but also their evolution into a heavier sound, blending melodic elements with a harder edge, which was a hallmark of their late career. Thin Lizzy maintained a strong presence in the rock scene, illustrating their enduring influence during this transitional phase.
