Thin Lizzy

In the early part of 1976, Thin Lizzy was riding high on the success of their album 'Jailbreak,' which had been released just a month prior in March. This critically acclaimed record marked a turning point for the band, showcasing their unique blend of rock and melodic storytelling. The live recording from the John Peel Session on February 12, 1976, at Maida Vale Studios was a significant moment—capturing their rising energy and the infectious spirit that defined their sound. It was during this period that the iconic track 'Jailbreak' began to resonate with audiences, helping to cement Thin Lizzy's reputation as a force in rock music. Plus, the innovative dual guitar harmonies laid down by Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson were becoming a hallmark of their style, an element that would influence countless musicians to come.
