Thin Lizzy

In the wake of their iconic album "Jailbreak," released earlier in 1976, Thin Lizzy delivered an electrifying performance of "Cowboy Song" at the Reading Festival on August 28, 1976. This live recording captures the band at a pivotal moment in their career as they were catapulting to stardom, largely thanks to the success of "Jailbreak," which included hits like "The Boys Are Back in Town." The blend of Phil Lynott's charismatic stage presence and the band's signature twin-guitar harmonies pushed the energy of the show sky-high. Interestingly, some fans debate whether their subsequent live album, "Live and Dangerous," was recorded in a studio—this performance clearly showcases their raw talent and the chemistry they had with their audience. It's a snapshot of a band ready to redefine rock music, driven by emotion and a fiery performance spirit.
