Thin Lizzy

In January 1983, Thin Lizzy was in the midst of their "Thunder and Lightning" tour, promoting the album of the same name, which was released in April 1983. This live performance captured at the Regal Theatre in Hitchin showcases the band's energetic sound as they transitioned into a more hard rock and metal-oriented style, largely influenced by new guitarist John Sykes. Notably, this period marked a significant point in Thin Lizzy's evolution, as the lineup had seen many changes, with Sykes bringing a fresh dynamic following the departure of previous members. The setlist for this concert features classic hits like "The Boys Are Back in Town" alongside tracks from the "Thunder and Lightning" album, underlining the band's ability to blend their earlier rock roots with a more aggressive sound. This performance stands out as one of their final tours before disbanding later in 1983.
