Thin Lizzy

In September 1980, Thin Lizzy was riding high on the success of their album "Chinatown," which had been released just months earlier in July. This live recording from Nakano Sunplaza in Tokyo showcases the band at a pivotal moment in their career, capturing their electrifying stage presence and the tight-knit camaraderie of the band. Notably, 'Chinatown' featured a more polished sound and was influenced by the band's experiences in both the UK and the USA. With iconic hits like 'The Boys Are Back in Town,' this performance reflects the energy and playful spirit that Thin Lizzy was known for. Interestingly, this era also marked the beginning of a transition for the band, as members started exploring individual projects while still maintaining their collective identity. The Tokyo crowd was treated to a stellar blend of rock hits that would become timeless classics.
