If it’s January 4, it’s time for some Thin Lizzy…

Phil Lynott’s been dead for more years than he’s lived.

(Yeah. I know. This makes me old compared to a bunch of y’all. Someone hand me some Geritol. )

Be ready for the obligatory "I caught them at the Uptown Theatre in Chicago back in '77. The set was incredible and the band was tight" posts...

That you know what Geritol is says as much about your age as knowing Thin Lizzy...and yes I know both...

True

My family had a mom and pop store going back to the 70s and that was one of many products I was aware of back then…

Jay Belcher was a left handed pitcher on the 1979 Baseball team. He was an ok pitcher but an unreal guitar player. He had the Jailbreak album and he would put it on and figure out all the riffs and leads and just tear it up. He showed me how to play Jailbreak (and a bunch of other songs)

Jailbreak was the 1st album I ever bought on my own.

I knew I liked you, Maroon Eagle. These are two of my very favorites. That Irish 17er was the truest and best rocker to ever breath air.

They were tight alright.

This is what introduced Geritol to me...

Outstanding music, notwithstanding the fact that I had to listen to it on my 8 track tape player.

Saw Phil Lynott’s statue in Dublin. Dude could play.

The times before I’ve been in Dublin I stayed within easy walking distance of the statue and saw it just about every day I was in the city.

I’ve not made it back there since the mid-teens and would like to go back. I checked the prices on hotels and B&Bs recently and prices have doubled…

Outstanding music, notwithstanding the fact that I had to listen to it on my 8 track tape player.

Notwithstanding or…. because.

This is an epic video from a live show with the best incarnation. Enjoy.

Jailbreak was an exceptional album........

 

[Podgy]

a really good band and a damn good live band.

Jailbreak is SUCH a great song. That low, grinding, riff is just awesome….
