Thin Lizzy

On May 9, 1978, Thin Lizzy delivered an electrifying performance at the Paradise Theatre in Boston, showcasing the peak of their creative journey following the release of their album 'Johnny the Fox' in late 1976. At this time, they were riding high on the success of their earlier masterpiece 'Jailbreak' from 1976, which featured the iconic hit 'The Boys Are Back in Town.' The band's energy was palpable, driven by Phil Lynott's magnetic stage presence and the dual guitar work of Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson. Interestingly, this concert catches Thin Lizzy in a pivotal moment, as they were known for their powerful live shows, making them a staple in the rock scene of the late '70s. This performance not only solidified their reputation as a formidable live act, but it also laid the foundation for their evolving sound, blending hard rock with elements of folk and even pop.
