@@TheHumbuckerboyAgreed mate, early 70s they were up against some massive rock bands..Zep DP Sabbath etc.. Phil's voice was pretty different, maybe not even a lead voice... and an Irish Black dude back then perhaps wasn't seen as box office @ sign of the times.. Just speculating here mate. Seeing them '81 at the Hammersmith has been in my top 3 all time gigs for 45 years..and I saw Zep at Knebworth 79!

Scott Gorham was amazing on this album, not only for solid guitar playing but for awesome hair too.

The articulation of every drum fill, the harmony-drenched dual guitar hooks… this is next level heavy rock

I like how half of the song is about a guy with a bad reputation and half of the song is just a jam. Love this band!

Thin Lizzy could groove like fuck. My favourite band - they were sublime.

Yup, Brian is an amazing drummer. Often overlooked, because he was never a big showoff, and always knew how to play the right drums FOR THE SONG. A rare treat of a classy drummer. Also, he never really got down with heroin, so he just stayed super tight all those years. Just a brilliant drummer in an absolutely amazing rockband. It is magic that they happened to find each other. As with Gorham as well, american boy at the right place and the right time. That's how history gets made, I guess.

One of my favorite rock bands of all time! LONG LIVE THIN LIZZY!

I'm now 75 years of age and lived through the sixties musical revolution where we were spoilt for choice, Thin Lizzy however is/was my favourite band of all time. The line up in this video is/was also my favourite line up.

Thin Lizzy the best rocking band that ever existed on this planet, They had a Bad Bad Reputation, they played live and dangerous all the time. Those Lizzy boys lead my young 6 brothers and me astray in our youthful years, we traveled all over the place and from town to town and never miss a gig even if meant we had robbed the local bank to get money to buy out tickets or we had to bluff our ways into the gigs, We never regretted a single moment. Yes the very best rocking band that ever existed. Man I miss Thin Lizzy and Phil the Rocker

I bought this album in 1977 good album.

RIP Phil Lynott (August 20, 1949 - January 4, 1986), aged 36 You will be remembered as a legend.

Scott absolutely nailed that solo!

Lizzy was totally unique and had a sound no one else had. Recognisable in an instant. I love this band so much. Keep on Rocking Philo wherever you may be.

They were a smokin' band and their drummer was worthy of worship.

I'm 52 and remember being at a roller skating rink in 1976 when I was 8, and hearing Jail Break for the first time, and remember, even that young, at how Phil's voice was awesome and totally unique.
