Thin Lizzy

In March 1983, Thin Lizzy was navigating a pivotal moment in their career, having recently released the album "Thunder and Lightning" the previous year. This album, their last studio effort before the band's initial breakup, showcased a heavier sound and highlighted the band’s commitment to evolving their style. Interestingly, during a performance at the Glasgow Apollo, frontman Phil Lynott stepped in to intervene during a riot, showcasing his fierce dedication to both the band and the audience. This incident not only emphasizes Lynott's charisma but also frames a tense era in the band's history, as they grappled with internal pressures while still delivering powerful live performances. The energy that Thin Lizzy brought to the stage, paired with their willingness to take risks and engage with fans, made their live shows unforgettable.
