Thin Lizzy

In September 1973, Thin Lizzy was riding a wave of growing fame after the release of their self-titled debut album in 1971, followed by their sophomore effort, 'Shades of a Blue Orphanage' in 1972. But it was the 1973 album 'Vagabonds of the Western World' that marked a turning point for the band, showcasing their signature mix of hard rock and melodic elements. This live recording captures an energetic performance during a pivotal moment in their career, just as they began to solidify their sound and identity. Fun fact: during this period, the band was known for their dynamic stage presence, largely attributed to drummer Brian Downey's impeccable timing and vibrant playing style, which is celebrated in this performance. The energy of the festival, combined with their developing artistry, made this concert a memorable highlight in Thin Lizzy's early years.
