This is great! Phil's slamming the hell out of that guitar, pretty much playing it as though it's a bass. The tone's wound all the way back...and I think I can hear a dropped bottom E string comping for the missing bass. They were an incredible band. Totally unique!

Eric Bell, one of the most underated guitarists of all time. He can hang with the Best of them.

Not enough credit is given to the Eric Bell era of Lizzy.

Crowd: non plussed. Band: try harder

Phil Lynott touched hearts with his poetry and his delivery. This song moves me as an Irish American.

Brilliant!

Friend of mine went back stage after a lizzy gig around this time, met the band and played Erics guitar❤

He never did the tasty solo in the middle of the song. 😞

Who's playin bass here?

Audience look lively don't they 😕

this is the best version of this song. that other shite of a band that is MentallicA are a bunch of has been's and hacks. the one and only TL can only do justice to this song. Long Live Thin Lizzy. The BEST Dublin, Eire, Crumblin, Irish band ever. Ireland Forever ! oh and Scotland too.

What a tune.

I think his nose is packed full of fool's coke while lip syncing here. And a good dose of fool's black tar heroin in his veins.

Phil was king backed up by 2 legends Bell and Downey Lizzy can do no wrong.

Prachtige harmonie, mannen❣️

Het is mijn grote droom om deze band ooit eens in het echt te zien spelen!! Jammer dat ik er als Belg niet zo makkelijk heen kan. 😭

Pretty Awesome So Tight . The Mighty Thin Lizzy

Wish i had a Safety Net for Phil he was Loved by so many . Bless him

Ficou show ! Muito bom mesmo

Did they put sedatives in the kids water?😮😢

I've never seen Lynott on rhythm guitar, all the tone adjusted to max out bass and eliminate treble.

Old prospector verse is from the twilight zone ep the r i p van winkle caper Still looking fpr the inspiration for the broken joe and fox verses . Lemme know if you have any leads

Philip Lynott for all eternity💯❤❤❤❤👍🙏

isn't it what the the braindead humans in our time are searching for Fools gold ??? Time hasn't changed much neither the human brain🙃💯👎😥😢😭😫

Probably the best live version I've seen.

God bless Phil Lynott. He took a mostly forgotten 19th C drinking song and turned it into a rock classic. God bless Eric Bell a mostly forgotten brilliant guitar soloist. Phil Lynott was the most quintessential Dubliner of his generation, revealed in his accent and his forthright attitude. His mantle has yet to be picked up. (yew tew are mere manakins by comparison)

When and where was this aired? Thanks for sharing!

Really Nice !!

Greatest song ever ?😊

Eterno Parris❤

Didn't matter too much which guitarist was chosen to replace Eric Bell, none of them wanted to play Whiskey in the Jar. And I don't blame them, Eric was an absolute genius of a player.

Great Phil❤Eternal

Just pure class 👌

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Top Tune 50 years ago . Sooooo much has changed . I wonder what those kids are upto now ?

Listening to it 50 years later. It's still brilliant

Eric Bell was amazing on guitar!! I love this footage. They sound great!!

No bass? Damn they sounds good

Bloody hell, never thought I'd see this.....Eric is a great guitarist....thanks for a great post

He indeed spent his life searching for fools gold. gone way too soon but never forgotten.

Una semana antes de esta presentación, en Chile se había producido un Golpe de Estado del General Pinochet contra el presidente Salvador Allende

Pure music.

One of the sublime-est versions of a sublime song, on the 3rd anniversary of Jimi Hendrix 's death. "Daddio!"

Wow... genius. So missed...

classic

A poet expressing his art...Glad we could see him presenting like this. It shows what a true poet he was

Great performance, but I am really missing Phil's bass.

That's one hell of a performance. 🍀

Not sure the Germans get it!

Wow grande Phil.
