best phil lynott/thin lizzy tracks

[LizzyFan!]

HEY,

What about Derby Blues.

Has anyone listened to the Derby '75 CD out at the moment, great to hear Lizzy Live and uncut.

Great to hear how a song progresses Derby Blues to The Cowboy Song and what about The Jam session on Track 15.

A newish album a new debate.

Seldom off the car cd player....I love the raw feel to it. A band on the cusp, bursting to become famous. Had this on bootleg for ages but nice to hear it cleaned up

Still Dangerous,

I am sure loads of people have bought this Rip Off CD of only 10 tracks.

Some time ago I recieved a version with the original 16 tracks and have to say sounds 99% perfect.

Its live, sure there are a few problems with sound but nothing to write home about.

In the version I have, Philip explains about the first few tracks about each song title, its meaning and what album they came from in that strong Dublin accent of his.

I think for the pure Lizzy fan they would be more interested in listening to Phils voice capturing the moment, recalling those days of yester-year.

Seems to me the "New" Lizzy want to escape from Philip but unfortunately for them, if it was not for Mr. P. Lynott there would have been no Thin Lizzy as who else could have kept it together for more than a decade.

I hope Scott, when he routes through the treasure throve of music he will reproduce a live concert with maybe enhancing the music quality but leaving all the introductions and chatting to the audience intact.

Unfortunately for the likes of myself and many others I am sure this shall be the closest we shall ever get to Philip and enjoying his legacy over and over.

Still Dangerous, 5/10 I am disappointed with the reduction in tracks and shuffling of said tracks.

LizzyFan!

1, still in love with you [live and dangerous, the emotion Philip has in his voice cuts you to the bone,and the solos are amazing , i wonder who he was writing about]

2, fools gold [ johnny the fox]

3,Cliffton grange hotel [thin lizzy, early lizzy, raw , brilliant ]

4,little girl in bloom [vagabonds of the western world , erics solo on this track just blows me away]

5,the cowboy song [jailbreak]

lets have your views , it ain't easy choosing.

How about Growing Up, or Catheleen ? From Phil second solo album....or even Can't Get Away? So many great and brilliant songs it is hard to just pick 5. How about almost everything the man wrote....there ya go.

What about 'Rock Your Love' or Rockula , Blackmail is another.

Those Demos sound great!

On Spanish Guitar who is the bloke speaking, is it Phil doing a cockney accent ??

running back was always a fave of mine as is hero and the madman.There is also a version of SILWY with gary on guitar on which I feel that Philips voice is just incredible
