Thin Lizzy Performs The Rocker Live in Berlin, 1973
In November 1972, Thin Lizzy performed 'The Rocker' live in Berlin, capturing a raw and electrifying moment in their career just after the release of their self-titled debut album in 1971 and before their break through effort, 'Jailbreak' came out in 1976. By this time, they had started to solidify their sound, blending hard rock with poignant melodies, a style that would soon resonate with a larger audience. Interestingly, ‘The Rocker’ became a signature song for the band, showcasing the dual guitar harmonies that would become their trademark. It's also worth noting that this live performance demonstrated Phil Lynott's magnetic stage presence and the band's burgeoning confidence, hinting at the commercial success that was just around the corner. The energy from the crowd and the band highlights the vibrant rock scene of the early '70s.
