Thin Lizzy

Before their iconic live performance of "Dancing in the Moonlight" at the Rainbow in 1978, Thin Lizzy had just released their album "Johnny the Fox" in 1976, which was well-received and marked an evolution in their sound. By the time this live recording took place on November 30, 1977, they were riding high on the success of their earlier hits and had built a solid fan base. The band was known for their energetic stage presence, and this performance is a testament to their dynamic live shows. It showcases not only the band's unique blend of hard rock and thin harmonies but also captures the peak of their creativity during this period. Fun fact: Phil Lynott, the band's charismatic frontman, was recognized for his powerful songwriting skills, which were a driving force behind many of their beloved tracks, including the very one performed in this memorable concert.
