Thin Lizzy

In November 1976, Thin Lizzy delivered a powerful performance of 'Johnny' at The Refectory, Leeds. This moment came shortly after the release of their iconic album 'Jailbreak', which hit the shelves just months prior, in March of that same year. This album marked a significant turning point for the band, propelling them into mainstream success, and including anthems like 'The Boys Are Back in Town'. The live rendition of 'Johnny' showcases Phil Lynott's distinctive vocals, beautifully complemented by the band’s tight instrumentation, a testament to their growth during this explosive period. It’s interesting to note that 1976 was pivotal for Thin Lizzy as they established a dedicated fan base, proving their electric live performances were a critical piece of their identity.
