Reviews Customer Reviews for Live And Dangerous      At a point below zero...      Rating:      From 1975 to 1979, hard rock was in its golden age as a result of an art form known as the double (or sometimes single) live album. And there was no record that best captured this day and age in more perfect form than Thin Lizzy's `Live and Dangerous' released in June 1978. Often cited as the premier live document of all time, this opus captured an in hindsight criminally underappreciated band in all of their ragged glory. These guys were untouchable and there was no cooler front man on the planet than Philip Parris Lynott! Behind him was Lizzy's greatest lineup in blood brother/rhythm genius Brian Downey and the ultra combustible duo of Brian Robertson and Scott Gorham. In America, where they were often delegated to support act status (how stupid were we?), headliners would shudder at the very mention of their name. At the time of `L&D''s release, a Sounds magazine critic called them the greatest hard rock band in the world, but today in 2008, the kids don't really know. As with any live document worth its salt, all the best (or most of the best) are here in peak performance form. To list my favorites would be listing most of the album but anyway - "Massacre", "Emerald" and "Rosalie" to name my top three. For pure six-string brilliance take Gorham on the first and Robbo and the last two, mind blowing! "Jailbreak" is the opener and man what a stunner (I love when he says, "I think it's safer" in that low almost throw away register!). The way "Cowboy Song" flows into "Boys" is just pure majestic alchemy! "Suicide" is gut wrenching, "The Rocker", pure delirium and "Don't Believe a Word" as macho tough a love song as one can get. You get the slow songs as well and Lizzy did them as well as anyone and two non-lpers which are fair but they don't make this record any more special than it already is (as if that were possible). As far as how "live" this album, if it bothers you that much - don't bother. This was Lizzy's REAL best of....and it really could be the greatest live album of all time.     Customer Reviews for Live And Dangerous Cd      Powerful live album from Thin Lizzy      Rating:      Live and Dangerous is one of the best live albums ever made IMO at least. This album perfectly captures Thin Lizzy`s powerful live show during their heyday with the classic lineup of the late great Philip Lynott, Brian Downey, Brian Robertson and Scott Gorman, who absolutely delivers their unbelievably great brand of hard rock from start to finish on this album. Top songs: Still In Love With You(greatest live Lizzy song ever), Johnny The Fox Meets Jimmy The Weed, Dancing In The Moonlight, Jailbreak, Sha-La-La and Warrior. I highly recommend Live And Dangerous to everyone, especially fans of great classic rock from the 70`s. I guarantee that you most likely will be very addicted listening to this great album.
