You can hear the love for what they are doing and can’t help but smile yourself as you listen. And all of that is enough to transcend any ‘overdubgate’ because that is something you can’t fake, and it shows that, at the end of the day, this is just a great album and that’s all there is to it. Thin Lizzy's Live and Dangerous stands as one of the greatest concert recordings ever. Originally released as a double LP set in 1978, during the golden age of live albums, the inspired Live and Dangerous captured the classic Lizzy line-up of Philip Lynott, Brian Robertson, Scott Gorham and Brian Downey firing on all cylinders from the stage. The tight performances showcases Thin Lizzy's diversity and go-for-it spirit, as well as Lynott's larger-than-life star-power charisma.

Lynott Sykes: As a NWOBHM offspring, I was unfortunately too young to witness the release of this legendary live album at the time, but its iconic cover art intrigued my teenage brain. My introduction to Thin Lizzy was Live/Life, and I didn't know it was their swan song. Since then, not a year has passed without listening to it several times, I can remember every moment of it, so I'll be the only blasphemer here to confess that I'd rather take Live/Life on a desert island, even if L&D sounds better. 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. But even if there was some tweaking in the studio, Live and Dangerous feels live, containing more energy and power than the original LPs, which were already dynamic in their own right. ( AllMusic) Special was the fact that the band had two lead guitarists. I only knew that from Wishbone Ash (also with such a beautiful live album). It does give the music something extra. Only a pity that the drum solo is not missing from Thin Lizzy either. Well, the drummer is the one who founded the band with Lynott. So he deserves a place of honour. And fortunately, the drum solo is only short.Offiziellecharts.de – Thin Lizzy – Live and Dangerous" (in German). GfK Entertainment Charts. Retrieved 27 January 2023.

And the proof? Live and Dangerous made No.2 on the UK album charts following its release on June 2, 1978. The group planned to make a new studio album at the start of 1978, helmed by producer Tony Visconti, with whom they had created the successful Bad Reputation. However, Visconti had a very tight schedule and had committed to producing albums for other artists, so Lynott suggested they instead spend two weeks together compiling a live album.

Thin Lizzy’s leader Phil Lynott had felt it was time to disband the group after the ‘Thunder And Lightning’ tour, and to mark the occasion, he gathered together former Thin Lizzy guitarists Eric Bell (1969-73), Brian Robertson (1974-78) and Gary Moore (1974, 1977 and 1978-79) who joined the band on stage at Hammersmith Odeon. Crew [People who were involved on the tour: 'Bad Reputation’ 1977], Technician [PA], Lighting – ShowcoTwo nights from the Philadelphia Tower comprise discs five and six – thank goodness Lizzy sets were short and sharp enough to fit a (then-nonexistent) compact disc. Eleven months had elapsed from Hammersmith, and the first Philly gig was considered worthy of ‘official bootleg’ release as 2009’s Still Dangerous. “This show is being recorded for (radio show) King Biscuit,” intones Lynott knowingly as the band launches into Soldier Of Fortune. That Bad Reputation deep cut – as well as five better-known extras including a spine-tingling Still In Love With You not heard before – reminds us we are in what was, for so long, uncharted territory.
