This Greatest Hits 2-LP set brings together all the band’s hits and live favourites on vinyl for the first time in a non-limited edition form. In their relatively short career, the band scored 8 top 20 hits over 8 years and no less than 8 albums in the UK top 20, 3 of which would make the top 10 and 4 the top 5. Of course, this, like a lot of double-lives of that decade Kiss’ Alive immediately springs to mind isn’t strictly live it. On January 4, 1986, Lynott tragically died at the age of 36 but left behind a catalogue of songs that stands head and shoulders above any of his peers. Released in 1978, just as the hot streak starting with 1975’s Fighting and running through 1977’s Bad Reputation came to an end, Live and Dangerous was a glorious way to celebrate Thin Lizzy’s glory days and one of the best double live LPs of the 70s. The band finally called it a day in 1983, with their final British performance being a headlining slot at the Reading Festival that August. In 1978, the band released 'Live and Dangerous', which is rightly regarded as one of the all-time great live albums. It was recorded in London and Toronto in 1977, during the tours. It got to number eight in Britain and number 12 in the States. Overview: Live and Dangerous is a live double LP by Irish band Thin Lizzy, released in 1978. The album stormed to number 10 in the UK and number 18 in America, and the band’s enduring anthem 'The Boys Are Back in Town' was a transatlantic hit single. The 1976 album 'Jailbreak' proved to be the moment that Thin Lizzy arrived on the world stage as an unstoppable force. There was to be a further shake-up when the band decided to expand the line-up to a four-piece, with Scottish teenager Brian Robertson and American Scott Gorham both coming in on guitar and creating the Lizzy signature sound. It was recorded in London in 1976 and Toronto in 1977, with further production in. The band formed as a three-piece in Dublin and 1970 but didn’t achieve their breakthrough until 1973 when they had their first hit single, a version of the traditional Irish song 'Whiskey in The Jar', which reached number six in the UK. Live and Dangerous is a live album by Irish band Thin Lizzy, released in 1978. Phil Lynott's poetic lyricism, the unmatchable dual guitar precision and peerless melodies, all of this is part of the Lizzy heritage and what they have left behind is powerful and influential. Nobody has ever sounded like them, yet they have influenced countless others. Thin Lizzy is unquestionably one of the true icons of British rock.
