It's the greatest remix of anything I've ever heard. It sounds huge, dynamic, powerful, alive and breathing. An actual concert in your living room, and no surround sound needed! And you know what, it doesn't sound "modern". It's not "cleaned up for modern audiences", or a "different interpretation". It's Live and Dangerous as we know it, but better. Beats whatever the hell Giles Martin has been up to. I also think it's a great box set. A reasonable size (i.e. not the size of a 12 inch record, which most CD collectors are deliberately trying to avoid), and all the extra content is both interesting and enjoyable music in its own right. The book is a great read. I could do without 20-second studio outtakes, crappy-sounding demos, and bootleg live recordings personally, so most deluxe sets don't do it for me, but the material is actually there to warrant 8 discs with this album. I'm kind of tempted, now, to get the very similar Space Ritual box set, although I'm not quite as fond of that album.
Saw Thin Lizzy back in May 1975 at the Hammersmith Odeon. They were "supporting" (believe it or not!) Bachman Turner Overdrive. Phil, as ever the excellent front man of the band. And the boys did not disappoint and played a brilliant set. Philip Paris Lynott - May You Rest In Peace sir.
Bought the original album when it came out in 1978 as a teenager and I never get tried of it, it has been my favorite live album ever since. I think this new cd box set is excellent and essential for any Thin Lizzy fan or live rock album lovers! Phil I would like to suggest a show with you , Pete Pardo, Martin Popoff and others, if possible, rating your favorite live album between Thin Lizzy Live And Dangerous, Deep Purple Made In Japan, UFO Strangers In The Night, MotorHead No Sleep Til Hammerstein, Iron Maiden Live After Death and a wild card or 2 thrown in. I always enjoy your podcast. Thanks for your time and effort in doing these shows.
@crusheverything4449 I really like that one too. My only fault with it is the same problem I have with Uriah Heep's Live 73 album is "the rock n roll medley" but again both are great.
Those '76 shows are my absolute favorite TL setlists!! All my favorite songs. Nov. 15th is my b-day and having that '76 show from my b-day. INCREDIBLE!!
@margowsky - I’m about 30 minutes (or possibly 5 hours, 30 min.) late, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Mine is in 5 days and I’m hoping my wife has scored this for me, as I missed out on the first pressing, as well. I hope you had a great birthday! Cheers!!
I love these kind of short passionate reviews, Phil! 👍🏽😊 So you were late with buying this album back in the day, and again with getting it now. History repeated itself. 😊
I bought it. I liked the original album. Saw that line up of the group at least three times. The box is good, providing you don’t mind similar set lists occurring - which I don’t, as they differ, subtly. I remember standing next to Phil Lynott at the bar in The Winning Post in twickenham 1976 ( I think, could be earlier ) 😊
I know alot of people complain about the touch up work done in the studio. I don't care when it creates something like this album or Kiss Alive 1n2 or Frampton Comes Alive. Wings Over America.. Dio era Black Sabbath Live Evil sounds great. Dozens more. If touching up in the studio yields a superior product, then I am all for it.
That's a fitting tribute to a proper rock band. I bought Live & Dangerous back in the 80s on vinyl, and I must have almost worn it out by now ! It's up there with Live at Leeds ( The Who ) and Irish Tour ( Rory Gallagher ) as the best live albums ever.
I was going to look at your review of the UFO-Strangers In The Night 8 cd box as I’m about to buy a copy at my local cd shop, and I was thinking to myself, Kiss, Aerosmith, Thin Lizzy, Ted Nugent and other bands who recorded live albums at multiple venues need to do this…..lo and behold I see your Thin Lizzy review!! I need this!!
HI Phil, Glad you eventually managed to get hold of a copy of the Thin Lizzy Live and Dangerous Box Set. I agree with all you say, Lizzy were a superb band and My favourite line up is the one on the Box Set with Brian Robertson and Scott Gorham on guitars. I saw this line up live on three occasions, on the Johnny the Fox, Bad Reputation and Live & Dangerous tours and they are some of my best live gig memories. I also saw the Gary Moore and Snowy White line ups, which were great, but the Robertson, Gorham line will always be my favourite.
One of THE best live albums of the 70s surely. Saw Lizzy at an unusual place which turned out to be an ice rink in the town of Kirkcaldy in Fife - very early 80s? Good gig - originally was going to be Genesis but they pulled out for whatever reason and Lizzy came instead! Anybody else remember this I wonder.
A metal band with pub rock beginnings, poetic lyrics and as you said they had it all; rock stars and pop stars. This box is a glorious expansion and I can only urge any fan who loves this album to grab it right now. Excellent video Phil
Thank you for this Phil, my wife has just ordered this for me for Christmas. Like you, for exactly the same reason, I missed out last year. You make a great point about Thin Lizzy, Quo and Queen being on TOTP they all made a great impression on me.
Thanks For Sharing I Never Got To See Them Live I Love That Lineup The Most Every Lineup Had Great Guitar 🎸 Player's They Are Still One Of The Best BANDS EVER !!!!
Being a long time fan of Thin Lizzy (Since I found out My Mum lived on Leighlin Road & My Auntie went to all their early gigs also my Cousin's used to hang with Phil as kids) I was also lucky enough to meet the Big fella 1 May 1985, Having the 1978 vinyl I too Dithered back in January Thinking exactly the same thing as yourself. I was so angry with myself when It sold out & was not gonna pay £150 from a scalper 🤬🤬 All good now, I just bought it from Amazon 👍
thanks for your review I didn't get when it came out then I forgot about it till your video after watching went straight to Amazon ordered for 108 euros including postage original price in my local record shop 5 minutes walk from were I work was 89 have original on cassette cd cd/dvd and 180gm vinyl
It's so good coming back to your channel Phil and dive into the world of music and magics. with you..after a day of watching war and misery wife said to me -can't you watch some of that guy with the albums now fearing I'd lose my mind...Yeah...everything feels better now...and what a band that was...Cheers mate
Bought it on day of release in January in Sister Ray soho After umming and arring the pre order on amazon Beautiful packaging Stunning sound quality and a book actually worth havin Im glad they did a 2nd press That should keep the cash vultures at bay on the E -
That's a fantastic set. I pre-ordered it as soon as they had it online. Just fantastic. Personally I would've prefered a box like they did for "Strangers in the Night". But the Discs are more important than the format. Glad you could get it, Phil.
Phil, you have done some real public service here. I have paid the price for dithering in the past but in the case of this set, I was a complete defeatist. Never expected to get this set, so I didn't even try. Written off as a missed opportunity until your video. Clicked all the buttons on Amazon and I should get it tomorrow. Thanks again.
Hi Phil - I have just this second jumped onto Amazon and bought it. $148 AUD - not cheap, but a bargain compared to what people are asking for it around the traps. Will be my Christmas present 🙂. I have the original CD, and it is without doubt one of the greatest live albums ever, irrespective of what people said about the recording - the songs just kept coming at you one after another, and it just rocks hard. Its a classic. I wish the Jethro Tull Box Set series would be reissued in the same way, as I am about 4 short of the set. Anyway - thanks for the heads up on this, and the great review. Cheers Doug
Some might say live and dangerous in the studio but what an album and what a band! Saw various tours from 1975 on. You wanted to be in a band when you saw them. Wielding a Les Paul or a Fender bass. Iron Maiden certainly did and Def Leppard to name but 2. Great frontman and lyricist. Guitar players at their best and always Brian Downey.
Nice review, Phil! What happened to you is exactly what happened to me. I even tried eBay and a Japanese website. I wasted no time when it got re-released. It is a treasure!!
I love this format ❤😂 I bought this , and the Hawkwind set , and that is just wonderful too . I also purchased the Humble Pie the A&M box set presented in a similar fashion . Thanks Phil 😂❤ Thanks for helping me start my day . God bless .
Hi Phil Thanks for showing me this i must buy it i was lucky enough to see thin Lizzy live on the china town tour 1980 i my Country Australia Melbourne love this band so much
I shook Phil Lynott's hand back stage at Reading Festival in 1983 - a friend of mine managed to get a couple of press passes for us for the last part of the day which was cool.
Thanks a lot! Was looking for this set (for a reasonable price) for the last two Years. Just ordered it from Amazon Germany for 62$ + shipping to Thailand!
Glad it is worth it Phil! I am still miffed I couldn't pre-order last year on Amazon. I harbour grudges so I'll give it a miss!! A live lp that deserves this deluxe treatment is Unleashed In The East. Cheers!
Awesome band, awesome album, awesome album cover.... have the standard version on cd and vinyl and am tempted by this... assume its cd only boxset and no vinyl version... so many good releases lately !!
Amen Thank you for this !!!!! Love Thin Lizzy Fighting Bad Reputation and Johnny the Fox are my 3 favorites from Lizzy but i have all of there Albums good review
Thanks for the heads up Sir Phil Of Aston. I snaffled one up for £82.99 and grabbed the Strangers In The Night box for £30.50 while I was at it...and then I got the 3 disc Live In Japan by Deep Purple for £18.44. I'm now skint. Thanks, but please don't review anything that costs more than £2.50 till next month !
Back in January 2023, I had an issue with my Amazon UK order and a new Visa Debit card. By the time I sorted it a few days later, the Live & Dangerous SDE was no longer available. However it was still on the shelves of Golden Discs after being practically sold out on pre-orders worldwide - so I got one from there. Somewhat ironic given that they’re Irish.
I'm a bit annoyed that this release, arguably Lizzy's most famous album given it sold in the region of 600k records in the UK alone, did not the vinyl treatment. Sure, we got one of the Hammy gigs on RSD, but surely it was a no brainer to release this on vinyl yet this did not happen. In context, the Vagabonds from the Western World is getting the royal treatment. A vinyl and CD boxset, plus a two (coloured) LP version.
Sometimes we get lucky, I have been after Jethro Tull -Minstrel in The Gallery 40th Anniversary box set Seen on Amazon @ wait for it £850 . Found on believe it or not on EMP 10 to 14 day delivery £60 just ordered ❤❤❤
Thanks, I really appreciate your "heads up" on that - I am missing a few of the Tull deluxe sets but just found MITG and Aqualung on there and ordered those. I've never heard of EMP before but I will keep them bookmarked.
Thin Lizzy are my favourite rock band of all time, so putting my bias to one side, I still would say its the best live album of all time. Its not tampered with in the studio by producer Tony Visconti as much as some people say. I have the bootleg from Philadelphia that most of the tracks were taken from, and there is hardly any difference that I can tell, obviously the tracks sound top notch on the official record as they used the master tapes, the bootleg sounds good but sound quality is not 100%. Southbound on the album was recorded during a soundcheck, and mixed in to sound like it was played to the audience. During the original concerts that most of L&D was made up from Jailbreak was never the opening song, believe it or not that was Soldier of fortune, hence why when you hear Jailbreak start a snippet of the beginning is not present. All these little edits and mixes to make up the album I think is probably why it gets the reputation its been tinkered with a lot, but the actual music has hardly been touched. L&D in my mind came out at a perfect time showcasing a band who were at their peak, it gave potential fans a chance to see what Thin Lizzy were all about. It would be false to say it was all downhill for the band after that because they still went onto having hit singles and albums. But most fans always feel the L&D line up was the best which came to an end when Brian Robertson left sadly after L&D was released, but the follow up studio album was awesome so it was hardly the end of Lizzy. Phil Lynott and the band are sorely missed thats a fact.
Looks really good, particularly the book that comes with it, I love that kind of stuff. Don’t think though that I’m quite a big enough Lizzy fan to shell out and get it, will probably just stick with my conventional release of the album. Though that said, I am a big Huey Lewis fan, so I should maybe research how many of the gigs he guests at …
I am glad that you managed to get your copy. I think they must have done a second run on it, I picked up mine as soon as I saw it at the proper price too a couple of weeks ago. So now they've fully expanded three of the best rock live albums, "Space Ritual", "Strangers In The Night" and "Live and Dangerous", which others would like to see done? I think there's a lot of cut tracks from the two main Blue Oyster Cult live albums "On Your Feet Or On Your Knees" and "Some Enchanted Evening", it would be interesting to see what was cut from those. I believe "Bursting Out" is the next Tull album to get the "deluxe" treatment, that's one I'm interested in seeing - albeit they've released a huge amount of live material in the other deluxe editions anyway.
Judas Priest's Unleashed in the East, the full set in the original order with the live vocals and the same with Halford's studio efforts and whatever else the band decided to re-do.
@@terrydaktyllus1320Thank you, it's been on my list for years, and now finally, with the boxsets of Strangers in the Night and Live & Dangerous amd a number of others gradually having been released, I reckon the time is right for Unleashed i/t East. Come on Sony! (or whoever owns the rights and keeps the tapes nowadays).
I think the best rock live album was Deep Purple's Made In Japan, which is available as a 3 CD set "Live In Japan" which gives almost the whole of the 3 concerts the original was compiled from. (I think they had to drop one track from each show to fit the time restrictions). Always renowned for their improvisation, the three concerts are more different than you might expect.
Bad rep , for me is their greatest album It flows brilliantly Although from Vagabonds to Chinatown, there wasn't a bad album , just different in places. Shameful to think they are not entered into the Rock n roll hall of fame , more than Shameful verging on criminal.
Hi guys anyone notice? Or it was possible was only my box set found it very difficult to remove discs I was afraid I would snap them ? Let me know thanks Paul Dublin 🇨🇮
Glad you found a copy...cheers...so if you listen closely and compare the concerts to the album you realize that Visconti is either an idiot or at the very least, a vindictive twat. The 'fixing' of the album was minimal and not the 70, 80 percent Visconti claims. But now the narrative is out there and its hard to change people's perception, so if you have the box set, listen for yourselves
Tony Visconti produced the album... Everything? Not the drums. Eddie Kramer said the same about Kiss Alive! Not the drums. What's the difference. Who cares. But Eddie and Tony: BEST SOUND
Thin Lizzy was a special band and that period was the apex of the classic lineup! The hardback book is a fitting tribute to that time :)
It's the greatest remix of anything I've ever heard. It sounds huge, dynamic, powerful, alive and breathing. An actual concert in your living room, and no surround sound needed! And you know what, it doesn't sound "modern". It's not "cleaned up for modern audiences", or a "different interpretation". It's Live and Dangerous as we know it, but better.

I was at this gig as well! THen saw them a few weeks later in Guildford
From what I can remember ....... BTO only allowed Lizzy atound 35 minutes ..... but it was worth it.

Phil I would like to suggest a show with you , Pete Pardo, Martin Popoff and others, if possible, rating your favorite live album between
Thin Lizzy Live And Dangerous, Deep Purple Made In Japan, UFO Strangers In The Night, MotorHead No Sleep Til Hammerstein, Iron Maiden Live After Death and a wild card or 2 thrown in.
I always enjoy your podcast. Thanks for your time and effort in doing these shows.
Scorpions’ Tokyo Tapes deserves to be in that discussion.
@crusheverything4449 I really like that one too. My only fault with it is the same problem I have with Uriah Heep's Live 73 album is "the rock n roll medley" but again both are great.
@@IRONHORSE_666 Great idea, hope it happens. I would nominate Judas Priest Unleashed in the East, also.
Should make it 2 shows , one for double LP's and one for single LP's.
Remember having this on cassette way back around 1982. Glad to know this 1978 classic is now available again.
Those '76 shows are my absolute favorite TL setlists!! All my favorite songs. Nov. 15th is my b-day and having that '76 show from my b-day. INCREDIBLE!!

Great album. I'm gonna order it. Saw them in 81 Coventry Theatre excellent.
Watched the video > Made the decision > Ordered the box! Thin Lizzy rules! Thanks from Germany! Rock on, Phil! 🤘😎

Wow !! Thanks Phil and all the best form the U.S.A.
I bought the album in 1978 which now hangs on my wall and bought the 8cd box set when first Time round pure class
Very nice unboxing and it's a great box set missed out the first time it was released but this time ive got my copy and i love it 👍
The Cowboy Song followed by The Boys Are Back In Town at the beginning of side C is the best start up ever when you swap discs.
Great video I love Thin Lizzy great live album 😀👍
Ooooh, a bone fide classic live masterpiece, one of the all time greats

All good now, I just bought it from Amazon 👍
A tremendous live album. Got the Deluxe CD version some years back.
Wow, fantastic unboxing ❤ 🔥
With Lizzy albums from the mid-70's you can't do it wrong! I like them all especially the deep cuts.

Bought it on day of release in January in Sister Ray soho
After umming and arring the pre order on amazon
Beautiful packaging
Stunning sound quality and a book actually worth havin
Im glad they did a 2nd press
That should keep the cash vultures at bay on the E -
Vagabonds of the Western World box set to be released very soon. Already have my pre-order in.
Superbe box, my original live and dangerous signed by Scott, at the Hellfest, very cool Scott, few seconds after his gig with the Black star riders
That's a fantastic set. I pre-ordered it as soon as they had it online. Just fantastic. Personally I would've prefered a box like they did for "Strangers in the Night". But the Discs are more important than the format. Glad you could get it, Phil.
Thanks for the heads up Phil just bought it for Christmas!

Not that anyone asked but my Thin Lizzy ranking is as follows:
Live & Dangerous
Black Rose
Bad Reputation
Thunder & Lightning
Renegade

Thanks Phil 😂❤
Thanks for helping me start my day .
God bless .
Thank you for supporting me and your kind words - Phil

I shook Phil Lynott's hand back stage at Reading Festival in 1983 - a friend of mine managed to get a couple of press passes for us for the last part of the day which was cool.
Love your review
Thank you!
Thanks a lot! Was looking for this set (for a reasonable price) for the last two Years. Just ordered it from Amazon Germany for 62$ + shipping to Thailand!

Hi Phil bit of a heads up.
Toni Iommi is on Loose Ends with Clive Anderson Saturday 18th November @ 6.15 pm Radio 4
Cheers
Awesome band, awesome album, awesome album cover.... have the standard version on cd and vinyl and am tempted by this... assume its cd only boxset and no vinyl version... so many good releases lately !!
Amen Thank you for this !!!!! Love Thin Lizzy Fighting Bad Reputation and Johnny the Fox are my 3 favorites from Lizzy but i have all of there Albums good review
Phil would have been nice to throw a remastered dvd in there.
I did think that but they had included it in the previous 2CD/DVD version and as a stand alone DVD before that.
Thanks for the heads up Sir Phil Of Aston. I snaffled one up for £82.99 and grabbed the Strangers In The Night box for £30.50 while I was at it...and then I got the 3 disc Live In Japan by Deep Purple for £18.44. I'm now skint. Thanks, but please don't review anything that costs more than £2.50 till next month !
I can't promise that! - but well done with your purchases! Phil :)

Everything was redone? Listening to the other recordings makes me think Visconti overplayed this. BR often refutes this. Great boxset. Thanks Phil
Scott Gorham has refuted,it, as well - vehemently.
Awesome! 🍺🤘
Sometimes we get lucky, I have been after Jethro Tull -Minstrel in The Gallery 40th Anniversary box set
Seen on Amazon @ wait for it £850 .
Found on believe it or not on EMP 10 to 14 day delivery £60 just ordered ❤❤❤
Oh wow! - well done - that is a cracker of a set! Phil :)
Thanks, I really appreciate your "heads up" on that - I am missing a few of the Tull deluxe sets but just found MITG and Aqualung on there and ordered those. I've never heard of EMP before but I will keep them bookmarked.

But most fans always feel the L&D line up was the best which came to an end when Brian Robertson left sadly after L&D was released, but the follow up studio album was awesome so it was hardly the end of Lizzy.
Phil Lynott and the band are sorely missed thats a fact.
P. S. I have the deluxe 8 cd box set but I'm not allowed to open it until Christmas 😊
@@quolizzy1554- Cruel and unusual punishment!
Looks really good, particularly the book that comes with it, I love that kind of stuff. Don’t think though that I’m quite a big enough Lizzy fan to shell out and get it, will probably just stick with my conventional release of the album. Though that said, I am a big Huey Lewis fan, so I should maybe research how many of the gigs he guests at …
I am glad that you managed to get your copy. I think they must have done a second run on it, I picked up mine as soon as I saw it at the proper price too a couple of weeks ago.
So now they've fully expanded three of the best rock live albums, "Space Ritual", "Strangers In The Night" and "Live and Dangerous", which others would like to see done? I think there's a lot of cut tracks from the two main Blue Oyster Cult live albums "On Your Feet Or On Your Knees" and "Some Enchanted Evening", it would be interesting to see what was cut from those.
I believe "Bursting Out" is the next Tull album to get the "deluxe" treatment, that's one I'm interested in seeing - albeit they've released a huge amount of live material in the other deluxe editions anyway.
Judas Priest's Unleashed in the East, the full set in the original order with the live vocals and the same with Halford's studio efforts and whatever else the band decided to re-do.
@@bernardmaasdijk734 Nice choice, that could definitely do with a full expansion.
@@terrydaktyllus1320Thank you, it's been on my list for years, and now finally, with the boxsets of Strangers in the Night and Live & Dangerous amd a number of others gradually having been released, I reckon the time is right for Unleashed i/t East. Come on Sony! (or whoever owns the rights and keeps the tapes nowadays).
I think the best rock live album was Deep Purple's Made In Japan, which is available as a 3 CD set "Live In Japan" which gives almost the whole of the 3 concerts the original was compiled from. (I think they had to drop one track from each show to fit the time restrictions). Always renowned for their improvisation, the three concerts are more different than you might expect.
I’d like the deluxe treatment on “Unleashed In the East” and AC/DC’s “If You Want Blood”.
It's £82.99 on Amazon at the moment! If I had money I'd buy it, lol
£82 on Amazon Phil
I got mine!
My favorite band in the seventies along with Rainbow Judas priest U F O The Scorpions.
Subscribed! I live your vibe mate.
Thank you 🙏
I have this on order, seems dhl has lost it.not the only time dhal had lost an order.
Bad rep , for me is their greatest album
It flows brilliantly
Although from Vagabonds to Chinatown, there wasn't a bad album , just different in places.
Shameful to think they are not entered into the Rock n roll hall of fame , more than Shameful verging on criminal.
I was going to buy this album once but then I remembered that this album has tons of overdubs made to it- is it true ?
Completely untrue - the extra CDs confirm it
Thanks . I'll be getting it then.@@NowSpinningMagazine
A classic...😃
Does this copy have the mistake on the dates EG Sept instead of Nov.
Seems corrected now
Hi guys anyone notice? Or it was possible was only my box set found it very difficult to remove discs I was afraid I would snap them ? Let me know thanks Paul Dublin 🇨🇮
All fine here ?
The only problem I have with this 8CD box is the fact that there is no concert with Gary Moore on it, or is it?
Gary played his first dates in August 1978 until July 1979. July 6: Gary Moore fails to arrive.
July 18, 1979: First gig with Midge Ure.
❤🔥❤️
Have you ever thought who you are going to leave your collection too? Do you have kids? I ponder this alot.
I have two sons both with CD vinyl collections. They can absorb mine or sell it as they wish.
Glad you found a copy...cheers...so if you listen closely and compare the concerts to the album you realize that Visconti is either an idiot or at the very least, a vindictive twat. The 'fixing' of the album was minimal and not the 70, 80 percent Visconti claims. But now the narrative is out there and its hard to change people's perception, so if you have the box set, listen for yourselves
I won't dither Phil
Tony Visconti produced the album... Everything? Not the drums.
Eddie Kramer said the same about Kiss Alive! Not the drums.
What's the difference. Who cares. But Eddie and Tony: BEST SOUND
A true treasure, but very disappointed not a vinyl edition realided. Sorry but cd´s are not for me
