HOF... what does Eddy Money think about that place?

Amen

It's a travesty!

c'est un groupe talentueux avec deux supers guitaristes Moore et Campbell

The hall of Fame is irrelevant

Until you both meet again brother...

Sorry to hear about your father. Such a great song. Reminds me of getting into some kind of chaos or other as a kid...

@@kingseamas Thanks this song makes me think of my dad young in his prime with long hair and getting into trouble. He was such a good dependable man who would do anything for his family. He's a peace now, maybe at Dino's bar and grill 🍺👍

RIP to your Dad. I want the theme song from "The Last of the Mohicans" at my funeral.

Rip your Dad .🥺 Thank Phil for this Song 😃

Thin lizzy pour la vie !!!!!!!!!

Till I die.

Any relation to Chris Wray?

In the mp3 rotation on my thumb drive...yes still loved as I drive central Fl.

Seriously, such a great band! Almost timeless. Sounds as good in the 2020s as in the 1970s.

That's so 1970's. There was a time, when the bike industry was smaller, and you could build a bike from whatever parts you could get hold of -- everything fit with everything else. Not so much anymore.

While reading your post I can see that as a beginning of story for a movie.

Get your knickers down ,god I miss those days lizzy were the best saw them live it was pure magic

I need this damn song whenever winter lasts forever

Yezzir. We Lived to those tunes.

And that has to be one of the best descriptions of this song I've ever seen.

A decade? It's 2024 and this song STILL represents Saturday night. God willing it will always mean summer!

What do u mean he had his demon's

@@therealboomhauer69 his heroin addiction was the main one. It did him in.

I thought I recognized that "gaze"....❄️that ain't the Pepsi Demon❄️

Demons are for eternity and he will be reminded for eternity.

The best ever still jamming out to them early 70's to present great crusin tunes

Still listening in 2021, close to 2022. Awesome music is yearless

On my thumb drive whenever a trip short or long in my car...thank you!

Think that youll find thats not Gary Moore but Scott Goreham.

Peace that...So much potetentioanl

Played pool with Scott once in the Eighties at the Novatel in Bradford, top man and yes drinking Remy Martin topped up with white wine 😊

Lucky guy Always loved Philo

An old boss of mine used to work as music critic and concert promoter. He told me a story once of reviewing a Journey show with Think Lizzy opening. This was either right before or right after Steve Perry joined Journey. Being in the Northwest we were a common stop for Journey coming up so they were pretty badly overexposed locally and didn't stand a chance against Thin Lizzy. After Thin Lizzy ended their set the audience was going nuts calling for an encore. The crew had started teardown, the band was in the dressing room cracking a few beers open. The audience wouldn't quiet down so Journey's road manager asked the band to go play a couple more songs to avoid a riot. After the show my boss went backstage to interview the band and hang out. He told Phil one of the songs he really liked from the new album was The Rocker. Phil replied with "I bet you a beer you don't even know it." My boss sang it to him (poor Phil's ears) and Phil being a man of his word went to some convenience store with my boss and bought a case of beer. They ended the evening watching Saturday Night Live seeing the first Star Trek sketch the show did.

Amazing, thanks for sharing it brother!

​@@jamespierce9055 funnily enough have a vague recollection of that here on Merseyside too..

True 👍

I agree, but I would say one of the best songs of all time. It's one of the songs that inspired me to play guitar!

Bro, there isn't a single song that makes me happier than this. The guitar harmonies make me feel so many emotions, it's amazing. One of the greatest (if not the best) songs ever written

Why not Phil Lynott!

This resonates :)

Yes

This is their only good song

@@dylanfreeman9160whiskey in the jar?

@@dylanfreeman9160 🤣Frag mal Iron Maiden, Motörhead, Metallica etc. du Dummschwätzer

Indeed. Can't imagine what it would've been like to see this live. His voice was amazing but to do it live like this...forget it.

LSD will do that.

@@mikejohn0088 On more than one occasion ,happy days ????

Are you from the future?

Peter Parnow: Make that one of the best and most under-appreciated rock bands of all time, period -- whether in-studio or live!

THE BEST!

This was a terrible live performance. The lead singer is off his face. Dragging his ass all over the place.

The very best live band ever. There isn't even a close second.

@@dontsaythetruthytwillkillu5784 Gonna have to hard disagree. Rush was one of, it not the best live bands in rock history.

Martin Cheeseman: He's most-definitely high up on my list of rock musicians to bring back from the dead were I to be blessed, or cursed, with that unholy gift.

Someone should make a movie about him.

@@shruggzdastr8-facedclown, is Phil Lynott the lead singer?? Man, I used to listen to this song when I was in my teens, and I loved it.

He lives on in our hearts

Lynott was the dog’s nuts. Brilliant

And the only constant member with Phil Lynott from their start until 1983. And then was a member when they reformed

There is a lot of swing in his drumming especially in this track.

Awwwwww. Very well said.

I saw the Boys many times ☺

You and me, mate. I saw him live as a wee lad. A great singer, and who did "fusion" rock before everybody else, probably without even meaning to…

I’m 51, and I imagine that all of these GREAT artist are in Heaven rockin’ out, just waiting for us to join them. Don’t get me wrong, I’m in no hurry to pass away, but I believe that Heaven awaits, and these folks will be there for us, and us for them….sincerely, from a Christian that believes God knows our hearts and wants the best for us! Eternity is going to be pretty cool.

Me too

@@barry8122 it’s my honest opinion. Bass guitar has been my main instrument for over 20 years. It’s the one that I am the most comfortable on. I enthusiastically took to it as a young kid. I’ve always seen limitless creative potential in the instrument, and I’ve always loved it’s multidimensional nature. When you get good at it, you learn it’s capabilities and just how difficult it is to play (when you’re venturing beyond the baseline effort that some people put into the instrument). It’s one of those instruments where I think it takes certain players to wake interested parties up to a real understanding of what it can do and what a good player can get out of it. This guy most certainly did that, and to be singing all of those vocal melodies while playing those parts displays a certain level of professionalism that I believe inspires people. Like I said before, I’ve never been a big fan of them. Their live record is the only album I’ve found that I enjoy, but it doesn’t change my opinion. I think the 70s was one of those eras where music producers and artists of the time understood the extent to which the bass guitar can be the “secret weapon” in a pop song. This guy got that, and he had the chops to put that ideology into their music.

I’m not a jealous person but this comment made me jealous 😀

Blind audition on The Voice of Ireland.

Lucky guy. I'd have been happy to see them just once!!

The record sounds better. I know, they're a kickass band. But, the studio recording and production truly MAKE this song (and the album)

@@nickbyrne5871 For real!

LIZZY RULES -Shame bout REDS HOWEVER-HA HA

Mine too 👍😊

i don't think that is scott gorham.

@@daktarioskarvannederhosen2568 It definitely is him. Can't overlook his overbite ;)

@@daktarioskarvannederhosen2568 Yes, the guy on the floor at 2:17 most certainly is Scott Gorham. I see several people talking about Gary Moore even though he’s not in the band at the time of this video. Moore was one of several different guitar players coming and going through the years unlike Gorham who was consistently in the band since he joined in 1974.

It saddens me that Snowy sold his Goldtop. Glad I got to see him play it at one of his rare London gigs with his own band, before they closed the Astoria

Pretty sure that's Gary Moore. You have no idea how good he is from this. Check him out.

True

Yes, but was has Gary Moore to do with this video?

U R sick.

As a singer, I can tell he was MUCH better than he's credited for… Not exactly technical showmanship, but just having a great voice and knowing what to do with it… (He was a singer before a bass player, though he's not bad on that lever either…)

Yes! All of this! Amazing band. Phil was something else! Mesmerizing talent.

Right on.

Andre, your comment is one of the most concise, direct and "getting it" examples of true musical appreciation that I have read in a quite a while! Hope you are well and respect from 🇨🇦

@@pateris to me he was a " band" guy if you get my drift. Guys that loved playing together and creating a band sound, songs & show. Today's players are great. Great players for sure, great soloists, great technicians...but where is the band with original the songs, the show? Not all, but kinda in general...we've forgotten how to create a "great band" with their own great original songs, and stage show. Replaced by greatly evolved "single person playing" and singers, rappers and Jazz instrumentalists. That's my humble take on it anyway... don't mean to be pessimistic about today's players... I just miss the heartfelt unique, original songs of the "groups"...The Doobies, EWF in their heyday and so on...

Won’t be long til summer’s gone

Growing up in a beach town, this was the song that signaled summer/spring and Boys of Summer was the end of season/fall song. Must be the same boys running around in both songs ha.

As a black Irish man he was great for the rest of us...being black Irish then wasn't always pleasant..

Never gets old

Had a marvelous mum behind him that's a mum's love god bless them both xx

​@@brendadrumm9451 totally

100%.

I once threw a tire on a bonfire at a keg party in the middle of the woods while listening to this song.

Its the long legs

Lotz of heroin and coke for the aid

Billy Sheehan had his even higher back in the day. And nobody is gonna tell Billy how he should do it .

Mark King of Level 42 held his bass directly under his right armpit

And he concentrated on playing the middle of the fretboard too.

Good for you lady. Spit in their eyes !! Phil was great ( and still is. 🌈☀️)

@@michaelburland5175 Spit in their eyes?

As a black Irish man...thank you...

Crazy thing is how many current musicians are dieing to Fentanyl. Some things never change
