Thin Lizzy

On October 29, 1978, Thin Lizzy delivered an electrifying performance at the Sydney Opera House, a standout moment in their career. Just before this recording, they released the studio album 'Johnny the Fox' in 1976, a place where their signature twin guitar harmonies and charismatic songwriting truly shone. By the time of this live recording, Thin Lizzy was riding high on their timeless hit 'The Boys Are Back in Town,' which had solidified their place in rock history. The band was known for their vibrant stage presence, and this concert was testimony to that, with the audience going wild as they executed their beloved tracks. Uniquely, this performance was part of a free concert series, showcasing their popularity in Australia. This period also marked a transition, as they began to explore more commercially viable sounds, marrying hard rock with melodic elements, setting the stage for their future successes.
