Thin Lizzy & Gary Moore - Live Performance of 'Don't Believe A Word' at The Old Grey Whistle Test

Venue: The Old Grey Whistle Test Location: London, England, United Kingdom Date: November 30, 1978

In late 1978, Thin Lizzy was riding high on the success of their album *Live and Dangerous*, which had been released just a few months earlier in April of that year. This live album is often celebrated as one of the greatest live recordings in rock history and helped solidify the band's reputation as a formidable live act. The performance of "Don't Believe A Word" featuring Gary Moore on guitar showcases the band’s dynamic sound and the chemistry between band members, including the iconic Phil Lynott. Notably, this period was marked by significant lineup changes, with Moore briefly rejoining the band, contributing to this electrifying performance. Thin Lizzy's appearance on *The Old Grey Whistle Test* also underscored their rising status in the UK rock scene as they navigated the late 70s music landscape and maintained a strong fanbase while grappling with internal challenges.
