Leslie opened a local fete we were attending as my Dad had to and kissed my Mum on the cheek around 40 odd years ago, much to the annoyance of my Dad she did not wash her cheek for a few days

Two of us will be at the Ropetackle tonight - really looking forward to it. Massive nostalgiafest for me - Lizzy were/are one of my favourite bands probably because they were the first proper rock gig I saw: the Jailbreak tour at the Dome in (I think) 1976, having somehow won a pair of tickets in a Melody Maker competition. About four rows from the front, constantly blinded by Lynott's mirror bass. And my ears didn't stop ringing for three days afterwards. Fabulous.

Best I saw them was topping the bill at Reading in 1977. Marvellous scenes

Funny. He was a huge celebrity back in the day.

Lynott was actually married to Crow others daughter.
Live and Dangerous has to be one of the greatest live albums ( and yes I know it's been claimed there are lots of studio overdubs). The twin guitar harmonies are one of the reasons I got into Iron Maiden. And as much as I like Metallica I think Brian Robertson could perhaps teach Kirk Hammett a bit about more subtle use of Wah Wah.

Sadly never saw them with Lynott, a little before my time, I saw them at the Dome a few years back with Ricky Warwick up front, I was a little bit cautious but to be fair he makes an incredibly good substitute. As there are only a couple of original members I understand they've agreed to perform, and record new stuff, as Black Star Riders, and only make occasional live appearances as Thin Lizzy, a couple this summer I believe.
Limehouse Lizzy are an outstanding act, and have been approved by Lynotts family, including his mum who sadly passed away last weekend.

You nostalgia is going to be 100% satiated, I've been watching them for quite a few years, first time in the Inn on the Prom, must have been around 1996. They also toured the "Live and Dangerous" album in full a few years back, saw it at the Worthing Assembly Rooms, outstanding.
If you know anyone who needs a ticket, I still have a spare.

I was at that gig.
Superb, albeit through a lager-induced haze

Lucky you. 73? Supporting Slade? Saw the Scott Gorham version at Hammersmith Odeon in around 76.
Wasn’t that the Sensational Alex Harvey Band supporting Slade on that tour?

Thin Lizzy - Jailbreak
Genius lyrics
Tonight there's gonna be a jail break, somewhere in this town.
WTF? How many prisons in this town then?
Bay City Roller fan alert
Bye bye baby baby don’t make me cry
Ps it’s obviously referring to Canon city in Colorado which has 13 prisons
